Stephens Wend@bellsouth.net May 12, 2004, 10:30 am (Cedartown Standard, February 25, 1904) Mr. James Allen Waters, a well-known farmer on the Cartersville road, about two and a half miles from town took morphine Sunday morning with suicidal intent and died from its effects Monday morning. He took the drug on his way home from town, and handed his pocket book to his wife when he entered the house telling her to do the best she could for herself and the children. He then threw himself on the bed, from which his frightened wife aroused him and tried to walk off the effects of the drug. Drs. Adair and McBryde was summoned, but the fatal drug had to much of a start to allow their efforts to be of any avail. No cause is known for his rash act.
