WE WANT TC
J TO SEE WHAT
FURMAN STUDENT A SUICIDE.
W. I). Watson, of Dorry County, Ends
His Ki fe.
Greenville, Nov. 30.-Tho body of
W. D. Watson, the Pur man Univer
sity student who disappeared from
his room yesterday morning, was
found a short distance from tho city,
on the Augusta road, this morning.
The belief is that he died frpm a poi
son taken by himself.
As nearly as can be ascertained,
Watson left his room in tho Judson
Cottage about 6 o'clock Friday morn
ing. His room-mate was asleep at
the time ho left, but waked up soon
after, and upon not duding the young
man, reported the matter to other
students In tho dormitory. An in
vestigation revealed the fact that
watson had loft without his collar
and tie and watch. It was also no
ticed that a bottle of laudanum,
which the young man was known to
have bad In his possession for some
time, and which he is thought to
have used externally, was missing
from tho room.
Mr. Watson, who was 31 years of
age, came to Furman University
about October 1st. He stated that
he was a graduate of the Citadel,,
finishing there ten years ago. From'
the time he graduated up until tho
time he came to Furman he taught
school at various places in Horry
county. The young man stated that
ho desired to enter the Fitting School
and go all tho way through college.
Hit he r??fd Toft no lum -ii be q?ucTe.ni
li some brum he:% he wished to begin
all '?vor again
About ten days ag ? Willson ho
came ill and was confined re his
room until about rhuisUay, Ht? made
frequent visits to a physician and
seemed to bo suffering from some
nervous troublt. He asked that the
physician request the authorities to
excuse him from lils studies until he
was better. This was done. When
seen on the campus Thursday by one
of the Fitting School professors he
seemed to be In a very despondent
mood. Ills companions state that he
acted somewhat queerly of lato;
seemed to be in a very downcast
mood and worried about something,
and sometimes talked queerly,
though no one suspected that he was
in any way mentally deranged.
Dank Clerk, Short, Arrested.
Columbia, Dec. 2.-Henry A. Sim
ons, a former employee of the Rich
land Savings Hank and Trust Com
pany, bas been placed in the Rich

and when he did not. return within
a few days the officials of the bank,
ns a matter of business precaution,

countant, to check oveu the books of
tho bank.
Some Irregularities were found,
among thom being, it ls alleged, the
certifying by Simons of bis personal
check for $601, when he bad no funds
on deposit to his credit. It was on
this charge that a warrant was sworn
out before Magistrate Fowles.
Since that time it has been learned
that Simons* shortage was $7,000.
