of Helancholla,
fJreenvtlle, Nov. :y.?w. i>. Wut
?oii, ;i Furman university Student?
member of a prominent Horry coun?
ty family Is strangely missing from
thi' oottsgs campus aad it Is feared
that ho has met death at his own
hand. H.i llsappearance was dis
OOVtrad early this morning when his
roommate awoke and found him
gone. His eollar and He and watch
Ware in the room and a bottle of
laudanum which he was known to
have had In his possession could not
he found among hiH effects. Searching
parties have thronged the surround?
ing country throughout the day and
night for a possible trace of the mis?
sing student but up until midnight he
Im 1 not In en found nor the slightest
eh e :;s to ids movements after leaving
his room uncovered. It Is believed
that he is a victim of somo form of
melancholia as he appeared greatly
depressed of late and had been under
the care of a physician. The young
g an registered from Nlxonvllle,
which is about 18 miles from Con
way.
As nearly as can be ascertained
Watson left his room in the Judson
college about 6 o'clock this morning
HIS roommate was asleep at the time
he left the room but awoke soon af?
ter and not finding the young man re?
ported the matter to other students
In the dormitory. An investigation
revealed the fact that Watson had
left without his collar and tie and
W itch. It was also notieed that
bottle of laudanum which the young
man was known to have bad In bis
possession for some time and which
he is thought to have used exter?
nally was missing from the room.
Several searching parties were s ?on
organized and throughout the day a
careful examination of the various
buildings on the campus, a deep ra
v.ne behind the dormitory' building
and various nooks down on the river's
edge was made. Finding no traces
of the young man In these places the
parties branched out and scoured the
surrounding Country, Information
was had that some one answering the
description of Watson was seen to
pass near the home of H. B. Tlndal
on Crescent avenue, a mile from the
university, abom 7.30 o'clock this
morning- The parties made a thor?
ough search of the country in that
section and far down the Augusta
road. No truce of the young man has
bean found up to a late hour tonight.
W. D. Watson, who was 31 years
of age, came to Furman university
about October 1. He stated that he
was g graduate of the Citadel, finish?
ing there ten years ago. From the
time he graduated up to the time he
came to Furman he taught school at
various places In Horry county. The
young man stated that he desired to
enter the Utting school and go all the
way through college, as he had found
himself s?? deficient in some branches
he wished to "begin all over again."
Since he had graduated in the Cita?
del. Watson was matriculated in the
university department. He took up
his Studies at once, having some of
his classes in the Utting school depart?
ment and some in the university. He
progressed in his studies and seemed
to be getting along in g satisfactory
manner.
About ten days ago Watson became
ill and was confined to his room until
a I.out Thursday. He made frequent
visits to a physician and seemed to
be suffering from some nervous trou?
ble, iio ask that the physician re?
quest the authorities to excuse him
froin his studies until be was better.
This was done. When Been on the
campus Thursday by one of the tit
ting school professors he seemed to be
In a very despondent mood. His com?
panions state he aided somewhat
luerly of late, seemed to be in a very
downcast mood ami worried about
something, and sometimes talked
queerly, though no one suspected
that he was In any way mentally de?
ranged. Watson was not a man of
had habits. On the contrary, he
led an exemplary life, It is under
itood that he was considering enter?
ing the mlnlstery.

Washington, Nov How to dis

annual appropriation bills and trans?
act other genera] legislation In 26 days
Is the problem worrying Speaker
Champ dark .i nd associate managers
of the bouse. James it. Mann, Re?
publican leader, jusl back from Pan?
ama, dropped in today to discuss with
the speaker prospects tor tie- three
moni hs' session.
"We didn't make any plans for the
session," said Mr. Mann later.
speaker Clark agreed that no plans
for the future had i>een considered,
"There ate actually about L'tj days
for work on appropriation and geil?
end measures," said the speaker.
"There are !?l! days in the session.
Take out 13 Sundays; 11 Christmas
holidays; 13 Mondays, which are de?
voted alternately to district of Co?
lumbia and pension legislation; 13
Wednesdays, which an1 given to bills
on the regular calender, and 13 Fri?
days, devoted alternately to claims
and private pills, and there are left
but 86 unencumbered days for gen?
eral work."
Senators and Representatives pour?
ed into Washington today from all di?
rections. Senator Oallinger, the lie
publican nominee tor the office of
president pro-tempore of the senate,
is expected tomorrow. A Republican
senatorial caucus probably will be
held soon after to decide whether the
New Hampshire senator shall be con?
tinued as the nominee or some one
else chosen for the honor.
In case a caucus Is held there will
be more interest in the personnel of
its membership than in the subject
of discussion. Senator Oixon of Mon?
tana, who was Col. Roosevelt's man?
ager, said today that he did not con?
template pai icipation in anothei Re?
publican caucus, and Senator Poin
dexter has announced publicly his
withdrawal from the Republican par?
ty.
Senator Racon, now the temporary
presiding officer of the senate, has
t;,ken up with returning senators the
question of procedure for next Mon?
day. It is believed that after con?
vening the senate will be oillelally in?
formed llrst of the death of Senators
Heyburn and Rayner, and that Sen?
ator Root then will officially an?
nounce the death of Vice Rresident
Shorman and present resolution for
immediate adj<?urnment.
