DEATH OF MIR. w. G. BURKHEAD
After a Brief Illness he Passed Away
Last Night in This City

After an illness of several weeks Mr.
w. G. Burkhead. of Whiteville Column
bus county, died last night in this city at
1915 O'clock at the residence of Mr. J.
Hal Bobbitt on Dawson street
Mr.. Burkhead died of Bright's disease.
He came here more than Il week ago for
treatment. Soon after he came the dis
ease began to make rapid progress and
his physicians at once saw that he could
not live. For several days the end has
been expected at any time.
Last night he passed quietly away, sur
rounded by his friends and relatives.
Mr. Burkhead was born March 6. 1856.
at Chapel Hill, and was a son of the late
Rev. DR.. l.. s. Burkhead. He was edu-
Gated at Trinity graduating
June 10, 1876. He married Miss Dixie,
daughter of Capt. j. b. Gayle of Raj
eigh, October %, 1879, and has two sons
and three daughters. He studied law
with X. III. Battle, Esq, and received IL
cense i'll 1878 and began to practice in
Newton, and later located at Whiteville.
in Columbus county. He was elected
Reading Clerk of the House for three
terms, 1883, 1885 and 1887; and in 1898
as Principal Clerk of the Senate. He
was true Democrat and most excel
lent officer.

"PROF BRANSON HIGHLY EN-
DORSED

Few men are more widely known in
the educational world of Georgia than
Prof. Il. G. Branson. | find, by seeing
several papers, that quite an excitement
has been reused by his appointment in
Athens. From the leading papers [
gather these facts. He was holding 4
professorship in the Normal school at
Milledgeville; while there last year he
protested against pranting a diploma by
fhe trustees to a young lady who had not
honestly obtained the results in her eX-
animation. The trustees were offended
the chairman of these was Gov. Atkinson
Prof. Brans0n was not reelected. The
trustees of Gordon Institute made him
president of that important school.
The trustees of the Normal school at
Athens wanted an able man, and felt
Prof. Branson was just the man; but
they did not know the Governor would
like TO have the stone he had rejected
made the chief part of the faculty of an
other school. The Governor said Bran
son was a most able man, and that he
had been sufficiently disciplined And
so he was unanimously chosen as Pro-
fessor of Pedagogy.
From this we may learn that in this
State it won't yet do for "A teacher to
take "A position antagonistic TO the ruling
powers. This is probably true of most
every State. county and city.

A CONVICT FATALLY SHOT.
Snatched the Gun From Il New Guard
Two Others Escape.


There were lively times at the convict
camp on the county road near here We'd
nesday. and as IA result one of the con-
victs is now lying at thepoint of death,
and two others have escaped.
The prisoners had just been to dinner
and were returning to their work. 1t
was about 80 o'clock. They were
crossing siXty-acre field, and were
about the centre of it when a negro con-
Wet, Jim Davis, approached the guard.
Tom Johnson, to return to him his knife,
which he borrowed during the dinner
hour.
AS Johnson, who is new Republican
appointee reached for the knife, Davis
grabbed his gun and turned to run.
The gun. however, was in turn seized by
Il white convict named Robertson.
Davis did not contest with him the pos
session of the weapon but kept running.
BY the time he had well started, John
son took out his pistol and fired at him
five times.
The last shot took effect and Davis
pitched forward upon the ground, with
bullet hole through his shoulder blade
and left lung.
While all this was happening two other
negro prisoners-Lockhart and Smith
were making a dash for liberty. The
white convict, Robertson, who had taken
the gun from Davis, saw them and fired
both barrels at them, but without effect.
Though the guard was now wholly dis
armed and practically powerless, the
other convicts stood by and made no at
tempt to gain their liberty.
Davis is MORALLY wounded and may
die at any time. DR.. Hines, the county
physician, says he cannot possibly re-
cover, and that he can do nothing for
him beyond ease the pain somewhat un-
til the end comes.
Lockhart and Smith are still at large.
Both of them are desperate characters,
as rs also Davis, all of them having prac-
tically spent their lives in the peniten-
tiary and work house. Lockhart is from
Georgia.
The white convict. Robertson, who took
the gun from Davis and shot at Lock
hart and Smith as they ran off, is also
an old offender. He says he is perfectly
at home in the work-house and he doesn't
see why any one wants to get away.
He claims that he did his best to hit
the two fleeing negroes.
