STUDENTS HOLDING THEIR OWN.
Latest Reports rs to the Condition
of the Davidson Students.

William Strong has tonsilitis, not
s~epticaemia; J. NJ. Boyce had an ex-
ce1lent day yesterday, but was a little
worse last night, and Mcleod CONT
nes critically ill. This was the news
from the Davidson students last night.
Mcleod had a bad time OF it yester-
dav but his condition vas MT so I'M
favorable at y O'clock last night. At
= O'Clock yesteTdaT afternoon his tenn
perature was 105 As; pulse 112, and
respiration SO. An hour earlier his
temperature was 107; pulse 100; respir-
alton AZ. He had a severe chill at 2:45
o'clock in the afternoon, which was
considered a very ~unfavorable symp-
tom. His general condition was said
TO be declining. and DR.. Munroa stated
that it seemed that nothing could be
secured to arrest the progress of his
disease. At o'clock Boyce was
thought to be out of danger.
AT u o'clock last night DR.. Munroe
stated that Boyce had IL temperature
of 101 As; pulse 112. Mcleod. who had
spent a remarkable evening, had a
temperature of 1O1 3-5; pulse 81 and
respiration q. The chills which oc-
Cured in the afternoon probably indi-
Gated sepico-pyaemia, which means
that the microbes have probably To-
caliZed themselves II various parts of
the body n the internal organs and
set up p local Inflammation. This is
q very bad symptom.
DIR. Munroe still declined to give his
conclusions relative to the new kind
Of bacteria that he has found in the
blood of the students. 1t may be stated
here that the information that DR..
Munroe has given to this paper from
time to time has been at the solicita-
ton of The Observer and was given
because DR.. Munroe understood the
keen interest n sympathy that the
public felt in the matter.
From all Mcleod must be
| a remarkably brave young man. He
, is confident Of his death and has al
ready told his mother and other MEM
bers Of his family that he would die.
Despite the high temperature he has
been conscious all during mis- illness.
and he has watched his own treatment
with a great deal of interest. a few
days or so ago when the physicians
made a cut two inches dee~ in his
chest in order to reduce the infamma-
ton, cLeOd had the doctors to give
him a mirror and watched every
movement of the knife.-Charlotte OBJ

much more than he has helped them.
His troubles in dealing with this mat
ter have arisen apparently from his in
ability to appreciate the depth and in
tensity of the race antagonism. He
has always lived in communities where
negroes were few in number. Person
