strong appeal to Georgians, farmers,
merchants, hankers and all Interested
In the success of thelr/Stato financial
ly, to make such voluntary contribu
tions as they can afford to the work
which the division Is doing.
President JohnBon says:
"Your attention was called last
week to three pressing necessities—
more thorough organization, loyal
membership, and proper financial sup
port from the counties. These are
necessary to the complete success of
the campaign of the next ninety days
In behalf of 15-cent cotton, reductions
In acreage and ‘diversified farming.’
“It will not be controverted by any
one that to successfully conduct that
campaign will require a considerable
expenditure. There can be no doubt
of the fact with those who have kept
pace with the work done, that the
Southern Cotton Association has
saved to the people of Georgia
through its efforts up to date from
(15,’000,000 to (20,000.000.
"In view of this great saving to the
people of the state and of the cam
paign of the next ninety days, which
must be fought to a successful Issue,
I have decided to call on the people of
Georgia and to give them an oppor
tunity to voluntarily contribute to this
Important work.

Americas, Ga., Feb. 7.—J. Eugene
Moore, manager of, the branch ex
change of Clark & Co., committed sui
cide at his room in the Windsor hotel
shortly after 9 o’clock this morning.
The discovery of tile tragedy fol-
j lowed a message from tho exchange
| to the hotel requesting Moore's pres
ence, he haying failed to go to his
1 place of business at 9 o’clock, the hour
Tor opening. A knock at the door of
his room failed to elicit a response,
and when the door was opened the
dead body was discovered.
The body lay in a pool of blood, and
there was a bullet hole behind the
right ear. A revolver with nn empty
chamber lay near the right hand of
the dead man, and the body was still
warm.
On a table were three letters, one
addressed to the mother of the sui
cide, one to his wife, and the third
to C. M. Clark, Jr., who Is manager of
I another branch exchange of Clark &
iCo., at Thomasville. These letters
were sealed and ready for mailing,
I and have been forwarded to their des-
| tinatlons.
| A few minutes before he ended his
life, Moore was apparently a perfectly
happy man. He was noticed In the
corridor of the hotel, where he was
playing with several children. He
laughed and joked with his little
friends, and a few minutes later was
seen hurrying up Hm stairway In tho
direction of his room.
It Is presumed that he immediately
wrote the letters, placed them where
they would be found, lay down, and
sent a bullet through his brain.
■not sleep Jn his room
last night. The bed had not been
disturbed. It Is reported that he spent
the night In Albany.
The news of the suicide spread rap
idly, and a good deal of excitement
resulted. During the short time he
had been In the city, Moore had made
many friends, and these wore greatly
j shocked by the news of his tragic
lend.
The coroner was absent from the
| city this morning, and the body of

■ Moore was not disturbed,, pending the
arrival of that officer.
| • Albany was profoundly shocked by
the announcement of .1. Eugene
I Moore's suicide.
His friends, in this city were num
bered by the Hundreds. Practically
ail of his life lmd been spent here,
and he was a man who enjoyed the
confidence of his nssocintes. Some
years ago ho was a member of the
fire department. Then ho entored tho
service of the government as n mall
carrier, later going with the Bacon
Equipment Co. Then he entored the
employ of Clark & Co., at whoso ex
change In this city he remained until
a branch was established In Americus.
Thither lie was sent by Ills employers
In the capacity of manager.
The Herald, hns been unable to con
firm the report that Moore spent last
night In Albany.
Tho statement is made by Clnrlc &
Co. that Moore’s books and\accounts
are In perfect order. Mr. Julian P.
Clark, head of the firm, was in con
versation with Moore over the long
distance 'phone less than an hour be
fore the latter ended his - life, and
gained the impression, from the con
versation, that the manager of the
Americas exchange was In tho best
of spirits.
Just what It was that Induced the
raBh act Is, of course, mere surmise.
It has been stated that domestic trou
bles had weighed on his mind, but
nothing of authentic Information on
this point Is to be obtained. Mrs:
Moore Is In Atlanta, where she has
been making her home for several
months. She was In Albany a short
tlmo ago, spending several days with
her husband, and he has visited her
In Atlanta. She was a Miss Hattie
Terry prior to her marriage, and Is
a daughter of Mrs. ,T, E. Newberry,
of this-city.
Mrs. N. E. Moore, mother of the
suicide. Is at present In Georgetown,
Ga., where she went some time ago
to visit relatives. The Fate Ernest P.
Moore was a brother, and Mrs. L. T.
Fields Is a sister, of the deceased.
Funeral arrangements have not

W. T. Matthews, the Woodbury, N.
J., traveling man who nearly expired
on a Georgia Northern passenger
trqln between this city and Moultrie
yesterday, has nearly recovered from
the effects of hlB prostration, and was
able to leave bis hotel today.
Mr. Matthews, In conversation with
a Herald man this morning, Btated
that the supposition of physicians who
attended him on the train that he wnB
suffering from the effects of an over
dose of laudanum was altogether er
roneous. He said:
“I took a-dose of medicine early In
the morning, while at Moultrie. It
tygs prescribed by a druggist to relieve'
a trouble of several days’ standing.
Several hours’ had elapsed before X
was prostrated while on tho train, and
I had taken no more medicine of any
description. The suggestion that laud
anum caused my trouble Is absurd."
Dr. W. L. Davis, who attended Mr.
Matthews after he reached Albany,
confirmed the latter’s statement, It be
ing the diagnosis of the physician that
Mr. Mat thews’ prostration was due. to
sudden heart affection, somewhat af
ter the nature of anglra pectoris, and
wis brought about by weakness fol
lowing an Illness of several days’’ du-
ration.
