Students Fatal FalI-Gioom Cast
Over the College.
Clemson College, Sept. 23.-Cadet
Joe e. Reaves of Latta died at noon
yesterday from the effects OF a fall
from second story window OF the
barracks some time Friday night.
That he had fallen from his room was
not known till daylight yesterday
morning, when Mr.. A. F. Beaver dis
covered the unfortunate young man,
lying in dying condition on the con-
crete pavement on the north side of
the barracks. Mr.. Beaver called for
help and Messrs. F. NJ. Stephenson
and O. l.. Derrick were the first Oh
the scene. These. young men put
their feliow-cadet on mattress and
went for the college surgeon, DR.. A.
M. Redfearn. DR.. Redfearn saw that
there was no hope for the young man,
but had him removed to the hospital
and did all that was possible for him.
He never regained consciousness.
How Mr.. Reayes came to fall is a
mystery. Neither Of his room-mates
knew of anything unusual until they
were walked yesterday morning and
found their roommate on the pave
ment below. There is no suspicion
whatever of hazing, because the three
room-mates, r. o. Poag, E. L. Martin
and Joe E. Reaves, were all class
mates and close friends, and, besides,
they are quiet, studious, sober, Chris
tian boys-all of, them taking interest
in the work of the Y. M. G. A. and
Sunday school.
Messrs. Poag and Martin say that all
retired at the usual hour last night,
in good health and the best of spirits.
They say that Mr.. Reaves had been
greatly interested in the ladder fire.
escape that was put up by his widow
recently, and had remarked that it
would be dangerous to jump from the
end of it, because it was so far from
the pavement. The theory is that he
must have, in his sleep, tried to go
down the escape. The fall was about
Is feet.
A student escort accompanied the
body to Latta, S. G.
The unfortunate accident has cast a
gloom over the entire college COM
munity. The sympathies of all go out
to the entire family, but especially to
the young brother, who had just en-
tered college and who sat in sorrow
beside his suffering brother to the
end.
Prof. S. w. Reaves, formerly assist
ant professor of mathematics at Clem

Oklahoma, is brother of the deceas-

legislature is authorized to add to such
fund for the purpose of constructing or

state. by providing, in its discretion, for

this state of not to exceed in any year
one-twentieth of one mill on all the tax

lOwing(

Section 16. For the purpose of lending
aid in the construction and improvement
of public highways and bridges, there is
hereby created fund, to be known as
the State Road and Bridge Fund.-; said
fund shall include all moneys accruing
ments in the internal improvement land
fund, or that may hereafter accrue to
said fund, and shall also include all
funds accruing to any state road and
bridge fund, however provided.
''The legislature is authorized to add
to such fund for the purpose of con-
bridges of this state, by providing, in
its discretion, for an annual tax levy
upon the property of this state Of not
to exceed in any year one-fourth A) OF

further, that in no case shall more than
one-third d-3). of the cost of construct

The purpose and object of the
amendment is GsD to eliminate
from the Constitution the require
ment that an unsaIaried highway
commission shall be appointed to
have charge of the expenditure of
the road and brOdge fund. This
would leave it optional with the
legislature to have a state highway
commission or not; (2nd to in

less tax, but can not exceed one
fourth of a mill. The proviso shows
how it will be divided among the
counties.
THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
The third proposed amendment to
the Constitution is contained in
Chapter 2S3 of the Laws of 1905,
and is as follows:
Section IS. Any person may sell or
peddle the products of the farm or gar
den occupied and cultivated by him
without obtaining license therefor"
This proposed amendment fs in
tended to be added to Article one
Cd of the Constitution, which Is
known as the bill of rights, and
VIII, If adopted. be Section 10 of
said Article, leaving all of the Ar
tic1e otherwise as it is at present.
The only change that would be
effected thereby would be to enable
any farmer or gardener to sell the
products of the farm or garden,
which he occupies and cuItivates,
within any city or village In the
state by peddIing the same from
house to house without taking out
a peddIer's license.
