Horrible Suicide of Burke Coun ty Man. Uoriranton Spccial,Srt,30.to Chai-iott Obsarrer. From details which have just reached Morganton from the country the most horrible suicide that ever occurred in the State occurred Monday night about six miles from here. Will Mull, who had been de spondent and drinking heavily for some time past went to his home after dark in company with Ed. Mull, a companion, and while in a drunken fit he drove his lamily irom home with a razor and when things got quiet he and his companion went off to sleep. Ed. Mull, the companion, was aroused by Win, who was piling the bed clothes and furni ture on the fire, and was told to get out or he (Ed.) would be burned up. Ed. tried in vain to get the man to leave the burning house but he would not. Ed. went to the window and saw Will crouched in one corner of the room sullenly waiting his doom. Will soon raised himself up and with a cry ran into the mmst of tne flames and was consumed. Nothing was left of his body but a few charred bones. With losses aggregatingseveral million dollars from forest fires and heavy damage to crops and live stock; the reported loss of a number of lives due to fighting timber conflagrations; the enforc ed idleness of thousands of work men owing to the suspension of manufacturing establishmentsbe- cause of lack of water; the health authorities anticipating a serious epidemic of contagious diseases, and many small streams dried up and practically obliterated, the drought of 1908 which has held western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia in its grasp for more than two months remains unbroken, each day grad ually increasing the seriousness of the unprecedented situation. Hon. John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi, spoke at Newbern Saturday. Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget mat sunrise never iailed as yet. Celia Thaxter.

The young bride, a school girl, is a daughter of Mr. W. A. Speer, a millionaire of Atlanta, and the groom was her father's chauf feur, a young man of excellent family.
