Middle Ga Argus – Week of June 9, 1881
Last Monday morning, Mr. W. S. Morris of this city was taken before W. A. Prout 
J.P., on a write of lunacy.  He was adjudged a lunatic by the jury and the 
paper was at once sent to Zebulon and was approved by the ordinary and so 
Tuesday morning Sheriff Bussey and Mr. Tobe Williams left with home on the down 
train for the asylum at Milledge.  On their arrival they found the rule of the 
asylum had not been complied with by giving ten days notice and they had to 
bring him back.  The notice was given and he will be carried back to the asylum 
the last of next week.  Mr. Morris received a severe lick on the head during 
the war, while standing on top of a train on the Macon and Western railroad, 
collecting, fair for his father, who was conductor on the train as the train 
left Macon and got on a good head of steam, the train passed under the bridge 
at Vineville, which stuck Mr. Morris on the head knocking him senseless, and 
fracturing his skull which is said to be the cause of his present trouble.
