A Blind Student
Taking Master Degree At
Columbia College.

We reproduce the following
from the New York Herald--a
short sketch of the life of David

blind poet, orator. teacher and
Journalist, who is now taking a
Master Degree Course at Colum.
bia University.
All Mississipplans rejoice to
hear of the success of a brother
Southerner; and more especially
SO, when laboring under such
reverse aff1lction as the subject
of this sketch:
One is reminded of Jonathan
and David as he watches David
e. Guyton and L. T. Lowrey,
candidates. for the degree of
Master Of Arts, going from Liv-
lngston Hall to the lecture rooms
and elsewhere about Columbia
University, and it initiates MOTH
ing against their devotion that
because Mr.. Guyton is blind Mr..
LowreY goes with him as an at
tendant.
Down in Blue Mountain. Miss,
where the two men live, their
families have been neighbors
aud intimate friends for genera
tions. Their comlngs and 60.
ings and their jays and sorrows
have been interlinked. It was
altogether patural therefore,
that When M. Guyton decided
to use lis years leave of absence
in studying for his masters de-
gree at Columbia University he
should ask his friend, Mr.. Low.
rey, who wanted to take the
same course, to come with him
and act as his secretary.
There have been blind students
in Columbia before. Five of
them have been graduated from
the university and one William
T. Schencb, has recently enter
tered the freshman class. Mr..
Guyton is, however, SO far as he
knows, the only blind man to
haye taken postgraduate course
there or in any other college for
seeing men. In spite of his loss
Of sight he has lived a rich and
useful life. and unlike most blind
persons he has lived it in a
normal way among normal per.
sons. With the exception of one
year at the Mississippi State
School for the Blind. at Jackson.

Spring Lures to Death.
One small drink of the water

One small drink of the water
of Sinking Seep," a small
spring near Guadalupe, Texas,
means certain death. The
spring is in the heart of the des-
ert region and countless numbers
of cattle, wild animals and birds
have come across it and in a half
famished condition drank from
the limited pool of water and
within a few minutes were in
the tbroes of death. For many
yards surrounding the spring the
ground is strewn with the bones
of victims.
It is said that in the early days
before the fatal properties of the
spring were generally known,
many Wayfaring men who hap
pened along the dim trail that
runs nearby persisted through
drinking from it. It's dangerous
qualities are now so well known
that human beings avoid it and
the cattle of the ranches are pro-
tected from it. 1t is only birds
and wild animals that now fall
victoms.
An analysis of the water
shows that it contains 70 grains
of free sulphuric acid per gallon
and trace of arsenic. Placed
in a galvanized iron bucket it
eats a hole through the bottom
in less than 30 minute.
