SUICIDE ATTEMPT IS FOILED BY SON Unnamed Woman Suffers Minor -Injury in Vain Effort to Die LEAVES FINAL MESSAGE "B . I think this is the best way oat of my troubles. I tried to write you two letters but failed. Nobody cares for me. I'm through with life, it has al ways been a cheat for me. I have ne7er been given a chance to show the good that was in me. People always wanted to look at the worst side. I'm not really bad at heart and I'm glad the one and only Just Judge knows it. "I'm not afraid of what the future may hold for me after death, so please don't worry over me. "Good bye. I hope you will be happier than I have been. My baby, good bye." Shortly after the note above was written, the writer, a woman whose home is near Elkin, was dangling at the end of a rope from a barn rafter in an attempt to end her life. The attempt at suicide occurred last Friday and would have been successful had not it been for quick action on the part of the woman's small step-son. The child saw his step-mother go to the barn, and thinking that she might be hiding something there, followed her. His mind failed to grasp the meaning of her actions until she was dangling from the end of the rope. Then, acting swiftly he climbed up to the rafter and cut the rope, the woman falling to the floor. An examination disclosed the woman was not hurt, other than a slight injury to her back when she fell to the floor. She is said to be recovering nicely, but ex presses regret that she was balked in her attempt to end her life. Her name is withheld at the re quest of her family.
