GREENWOOD - June 25 - James T. Ouzts, a well known farmer and member of the mercantile firm of W. M. and J. T. Ouzts Company, of Ouztsville, committed suicide Tuesday Morning at his home in the Mountain Creek section of the county. Mr. Ouzts was 57 years of age. He had not been well lately, and it is supposed this made him despondent. He leaves a wife and eight children. Rev. Jesse L. Ouzts, of Inman is a brother, and also Mr. W. M. Ouzts of Kirksey. From reports received here, Mr. Ouzts went to the field, where he had some hands at work Tuesday Morning, and borrowed a pistol from one of the Negroes.
