DESPONDENT FARMER A SUICIDE.
Prolonged 111 Heatih Causes Mr. Numa F.
White, of Guilford Battle Ground, to
s " ' faie His Own Life.
' Oppressed for years by melancholia
which developed as his physical condi
tion became more hopeless, Mr. Numa
F. White, a well known farmer living
near Guilford Battle Ground took his
own life with a barlow knife Saturday
morning in the woods near his home,
his body being found a few hours later
by a party of searchers who feared that
such a rash purpose had Leen consum
mated, ' .
Saturday morning before Mrs. White?
started to this city to do some trading
she accompanied her husband to the
home of his father, Mr. Ellis White,
who' lives perhaps half .a mile distant
from them. There Mr. White remained
for a few hours, but, eluding the watch
fulness of the father, be slipped into
the woods and was seen no more alive.
A barlow knife, sharpened to razorlike
keenness, and a gaping wound that
had completely severed the jugular
vein and windpipe, mutely told, the
story of the man's distressing death.
Coroner Turner went out Saturday
afternoon and after making a thorough
investigation was fully satisfied that it
was a deliberate suicide, the informa
tion being gleaned that Mr. White had
for weeks been sharpening his knife at
every opportunity: The nature of the
wound, the position of the body and
Knife when found, together with all
the testimony as to Mr. Whitens condi
tion and actions for some time preced
ing his death, tended to confirm the
suicide theory. A permit for the burial
of the body was issued and the funeral
took place Sunday afternoon at Guil
ford College.
Mr. White was a highly respected
citizen, and until he met with an acci
dent a few years ago which resulted in
partial paralysis was one of the most
industrious men of his community. He
leaves a wife and nine children. Great
sympathy is felt for the bereaved
family, r. ' -l , '"' '-; '" ' -

Subject of Masterly Discourse by Greens
boro Pastor Sunday.
One of the most forceful and timely
sermons heard in -Greensboro in a long
while was ; delivered in Wes-t Market
Street Methodist church last Sunday
morning by the learned . pastor, Rev.
Dr. G. H. Detwiler, who discoursed on
the general theme of "Knowledge and
Wisdom." j He spoke of the develop
ment of material things to the neglect
of manhood and pointed out thedanger
of .imbibing too much knowledge if it
be not strengthened and made safe by
wisdom. While this age has made
great strides alone all material lines,
the preacher contended that the fun
damental principle of the development
of manhood had, in as? large measure,
been neglected in the mad rush for
wealth and power. In other words,
we are piling up wealth and develop
ing, our resources more rapidly than
we are cultivating statesmanship and
building up character. This has gone
on until the great need in every line of
business today is not more capital, but
morp men and brains to direct aright
the forces already employed. j
The above can convey only a faint
idea of the general outline of the ser
moD, which was marked by originality,
logic and reason. The church was filled
to overflowing and Dr. Detwiler was
listened to with raptattention through
out his masterly discourse.
Under an execution from Guilford
Superior court, in a case entitled Cobb

suit was brought to satify a claim held
by Cobb & Corpening against the con
gressman for a board bill amounting to
nearly $200. During his residence in
Greensbbro Congressman Blackburn
spent much time at the Guilford-Ben-bow,
which is leased by Cobb & Cor

Electric Company Warns Employes
Against Indulgence in Liquor.
General Manager Ernest Gohzen
back, of the Green&boro Electric Com
pany, has issued the following order to ;
employes of the company:
"It has been necessary within the
past few days to discipline one of our
employes on account of indulging in
intoxicating liquor. I am posting this
notice to inform all employes of the
company whether, working on cars,
power station, or on the line, that the
policy of this company will be to elim
inate all employes who habitually in
dulge in liquor, or whose associations
out of working hours are not above reproach.-
!
"This notice is not posted through
any sympathy for any prohibition
movement, but as a matter of self-protection
and for the bettermentof the
service. Indulgence in intoxicating
liquors is bad enough in any place,
but it is particularly objectionable
when the safety and life of the public
depends on the conduct of employes as
much as it does in the case of the em
ployes of a public service corporation
like oura."
