Mr.. ID. Arthur Bolt, One of the Stu

Yesterday morning just as the sun
was rising above the horizon, the sun
OF the life of Mr. B. A. Bolt, q student
OF the South Carolina College, q mem
per OF the freshman class and right
guard in the game of football between
Carolina and Clemson, went down
never to- rise again. He died in the
College tnfirmary in the presence of
his aged mother and matron. He had
a severe case of typhoid fever, which
his father thinks was contracted at
ms nome in Laurens county. He was
attended by Drs. Taylor and Talley.
Mr.. Bolt was about rs years of age
and was very popular with all who
knew him. He was a devoted Christian
and adhered to the Methodist
persuasion, being a member of that
church for several years. He showed
great Christian resignation all through
his illness and when his end came he
seemed to fail into peaceful slumber.
He will be missed by his class mates
and by all who knew and loved him.
Mr.. Bolts father and mother came
here about a week ago, but his father
went back home and his mother was
the only n of his relatives who was
with him. He was we'll cared for by
the matron and students, some Of
whom set up with him every night.
1t was sad to see the grief-stl icken
mother as the body was taken from
the infrmary to the station to be car
rico over the Columbia, .Newberry
and Laurens road to the old home Of
the deceased, where it will be in

panied to the depot by the faculty and
