small boy and his first gun. Twenty-six
years ago, when DR.. Swcaringcn was thir-
teen years old, he pleaded 50 pcrsistcntly for
a shotgun that his father, a well-to-do plant
er, reluctantly gave him the coveted weapon,
with many an admonition on the accidental
shooting of other people.
Almost Immediately the accident hap
pencd. The gun, carclcsslv handled,
wrought its terrible havoc; but on the lad
himself, manning his right hand and de-
stroying his sight.
A year later, when all efforts to restore the
boys sight had proved fruitlcss, he was sent
to the State School for the Blind, near Spar
tanburg, South Carolina.
Graduating from this institution, young
Swcaringen returned home to continue his
studies under his mother, woman of more
than ordinary talent and culturl, who kept
his courage and ambition alive, and by her
efforts fitted him for entrance to South
Carolina College, now the State University.
The faculty were somewhat dubious over
admitting blind youth to the college work :;
though they were keenly sympathetic with
the unusual ambition that inspired him.
Young Swearingen, determined to enter,
finally overcame their opposition. He had
brought his cousin with him, and eventually
the boys were permitted to matriculate.
THIS was in 1895. For the succeeding four
years the blind student worked unceas-
ingy, spurred on by his set determination to
complete his education despite the handicap
