College Student Found Dead in Bed

Davidson, May 12.-Samuel O..
Fleming, of Laurens, s. c., a senior
and one Of the most prominent men
in the college, died here suddenly to-
day.
Mr.. Fleming had for some weeks
been in bad health. The senior ex-
aminations were going on and he had
been working very hard, and it is
thought that the ,overwork caused
heart failure. He was left by his
room mate, and some friends about
4 o'clock this afternoon in his room
where he lay down to take a nap
about Z o'clock. 2They went to his
room as he did not go to supper and
found him dead.
Mr.. Fleming was one of the most
popular and prominent men of the
college. He had for several years
been one of the honor men of his
class and had always taken very
active part in all things pertaining
to college life. He was universal
favorite among the students, and so
the whole student body is in gloom.
Mr.. Fleming was a member Of the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Athens, Ca, May 16.-Charles
Newsom, student at the university,
knocked down two policemen on the

piled unmentionable language to him.
Newsom sought out the officer, who
admitted using the language, and
knocked him down, whereat a sec
ond attempted to arrest him, but was
also knocked down an embankment.
The students interfered and New
som returned to his room and has
not yet been arrested. The students
are aroused by an officer having used
such abusive language about one OF

have lived for long time leigh
ty-one years., and the longer I live
the moe convincing proofs I see OF
this truth, that God governs in the
affairs of man. And if sparrow
cannot fall to the ground without
His notice, is it probable that an en-
pire can rise without His aid? We
have been assured in the sacred writ
ings, that Except the Lord build the
house, they labor in vain who build
it," I firmly believe this; and I also
believe that without His concurring
aid we shall proceed in this political
building no better than the builders
of Babel; we shall be divided by our
little, partial, local interests; our
prospects will be confounded; and we
ourselves shall become a reproach
and by-word down to future ages.
And what is worse, mankind may
hereafter, from this unfortunate in
stance, despair Of establishing gov

CONYICTS PERISH BY FIRE
PRISONERS IN ALABAMA~SET
FIRE TO STOCKADE.
Thirty three Burned to Death and
Others May Succumb to Injur-
les Received by Flames.

les Received by Flames.
Centerville, Ala, May 16.-Thirty-
five convicts were burned to death at
an early hour this morning at the Lu-
cille mines of the Red Feather Coal
company, located in Bibb county, Is
miles north of this place. The men
were cremated while making desper-
ate efforts to escape from a burning
stockade, in which they were con-
fined, and other prisoners were, with
great difficulty saved from the same
fate.
The stockade was fired by a con-
vict in attempting to escape, and he
too met death in flames. Guards of
the camp were aroused by cries of
anguish from the suffering men, but
the stockade burned so rapidly that
their efforts to save all inmates were
futile. Those who escaped from the
stockade, in which about 100 were
confined, attempted to escape custo-
dy, resulting in one being shot to
death. After the fire the stockade
site presented a grewsome scene, the
ground geing covered with baked
bodies, while the groans of those in
jured added to the horror of the
scene.
ALI convicts at the Lucille mine
are leased by the State to the Red
Feather company, of which H. W.
Perry is president and J. H. Taylor
superintendent.
Official information is to the effect
that 26 men were burned to death
and 21, several of whom have since
died, were seriously burned. Three
white convicts were confined at the
camp but it is not known whether
these met death. Several guards
were slightly burned while attempt
ing to rescue the convicts. State
Convict Inspector Hugh has been sent
to the scene and the governor has
offered aid.
The stockade was fired from the in
side, a plan having. been formulated
to make a general escape. The fire
burned more rapidly, it is believed,
than the men who set fire to the
buildings expected and instead of fur
nishing a means of escape, the men
succumbed to the flames.
The fire was discovered after 1t
had made such headway that the
guards and other men who were at
tracted to the scene had all they could
do to get out some of the men who
were locked up in the cells, and to
prevent those who were released
from getting away.
News of the fire spread through
Bibb county and other coal compan-
les have gone to the assistance Of the
Red Feather company. The bodies
of the men will be buried on the scene
of the confagration as soon as the
company and State officials have made
a full investigation into the matter.

with two of his children, who were
asleep in the house. Cunningham and
his wife had gone to church and left
the children asleep in the bed. No
one sseems to know the origin of the
fire. Absolutely nothing was saved
from the house.

AvANT NOT IN PENITENTIARY.
Officials Believe He, Too, Has Skipped
With Bigham.

1t seems now practically certain.
that both DR.. G. C. Bigham and w. B.
Avant have skipped for parts un-
known, and that the chances Of their
ever being returned to the State to
serve their three and half years
for the murder of Mrs. Ruth Crisp
Bigham at Murell's Inlet, in George
town county, are extremity thin.
The ease with which these promf-
nent white men have glided out Of the
reach of the officers, after the su-
preme courts decision affirming their
sentence, is causing much comment
here and throughout the State. As
usual Governor Ansel is non-commit-
tai on the ter, but when shown q
telegram from Georgetown to the eff
feet that AVant had left Harper's
Sunday for the penitentiary, coupled
with the information that neither
Avant nor Bigham had yet come to :
the penitentiary, the governor eyinced
much interest.
- Georgetown special to The Rec
ord Tuesday says:
''Avant left Harper's Sunday for/
the penitentiary. Sheriff Scurry re-
ceived a wire last night from Super
intendent Griffith saying Avant had
not reached the penitentiary yet"
Monday morning some one called
superintendent Griffith at the peni-;
tentiary over the phone to informR
him that Avant would be down to-
surrender by II o'clock, ringing OF
before the superintendent could ask
who was talking. This is the nearest
Avant has been to the penitentiary5
since the supreme co6rt decision. IS s
The construction placed on the tele
phone incident now is that the tele-
phoning was done in order to quiet
the penitentiary authorities, that !
Avant was in Columbia some time
Monday and wanted to get a good
start out of the State before too much
interest was manifested in his where,
abouts. S;
Another curious incident In the dis
appearance of Avant is. the fact that
some of the morning papers SUNDAY
carried a story to the effect that
Sheriff Scurry had said that he would
go to Harper's Monday and arrest
| Avant. ssss.
Clerk Brooks of the supreme court
says the remittitur- in the case Was
sent to Georgetown in plenty Of time
to effect Avant's arrest. 1t was in
Georgetown two days before AyAnt 1
left Harper's.
The next move In the game viii
probably be action by the solicitor
to estreat the bonds of both Bigham
and Avant. - y. &
Of course there is still the posi-
bility that Avant may be busy some
where in the State arranging his af-
fairs and may yet show up at the.

have to slide in through the dust and

night. Some of the darkies remark
ed: "Have you noticed how dark

time. The comet was the cause un-

that the smoke came from the freight
