There are (J ?6"> rooms in the college and its ir surrounding buildings. The ir architect has combined muny d things in making this a harnton- hi ions whole. Appearance was not di alight od, for the building will he w admired by every one; couifort tc was sought after, for there will ai he perhaps a mile of porches, and ai there is a mile of hallway. Con- 8] vt'iiieiic* is etTected; for tho dor- w mitoriep all nre closo by to the si dining ball and to the auditorium si above it and to the recitation li room* in the administration hinld- 11 ing; and the buildings, ii1 placed d end to end, would stretch oyer tl half a mile, whereas they are all g grouped in such a way that from I a common centre the most re- a mote point is very near. n There are ho many points of 11 excelenco which are really feature* 6 that it would he difficult to enu- ^ marate them properly. A11 of the ' recitation rooms are well lighted; c the auditorium i* one of the most ' * - ? ' comioriauie in the State, has a 1 stating capacity of 1,200, and n has eight exits; the diniog room 9 does not appear to ha large, hut 9 it is said that 500 can he seated D there without a discomfort; tha 9 music rooms are arranged in tha most approved manner so that e the light will fall directly upon h the piano, and the desire of the 8 architect was to arrange tha n rooms in such a manner that no ^ r pupil could annoy another while p practicing; the broad piazzas, the v gymnasium and the bathing pool, the science hall and the literary i halls?all these are provided for d in thi?* modern college building. 0 The general effect of the build- I ing is very pretty.

The rumor states that , 30 body h is never been viewed i y the jury, and the only time ' int it wn been bv the coroner ' uis when thrt county official an culled to the law office and mnd the former ? fficer seated i 11 chair at a desk, with the hisky and carbolic acid on the ti*'-. According to the story, I r. I) i re an was carried to his OIHH 111 a closed GirHige. It raid tiint tile stricken homo is close 1 to c i!iora , and uoody suv Mr. Dirgio in the iskut, which w as lata r interred, ftcr services preformed by two masters of I) rlington. The ory questions whether the isket contained M <\ Dargan's odv, and it \ * sand that- the in* nance company, t h e state gent of wiiich is located at olumbia, 1-: investigating the latter, with a view of ascertain- A lg whether Mr. Dargan really iod and was buried. It is * rgued that whisay is an nntiote for carbolic acid poison, li ith which Mr. Dargan is said e ? have killed himself, and that j long as whisky is druna the 8 :id can he safely taken into the v patera. The presence of the liisky on the desK, near the iicide, is cited to show a posible Knowledge of this fact, and ) sustain the theory that the 1 lan never Killed himself. Ad- 1 itional color is given to the 1 lieory from the part that Pe 1 ram Dargan had iu the affair, t strucK tnauy poople aa a moat atounding proposition that a nan could idly and calmly ait 1 o the room and allow his brothi r to t*KO poison, and after his i i. a. 1 -i ? e?iu men give me alarm. The heory that no 9uicide was comaitted olfers au explanation of his feature of the case, and the 4 ( ailuro of Mr. Pegram D.argan to q&ku any statement at the in* uest, when put on the stand, imply saying that the stateaont of his brother spoke for it- i elf, is construed to mean that ie did not wish to involve himelf by assertiug that his brothr was dead, when he had not :illed himself, according to the tory. The story is a most renarKable one and is thought to ie a faxe, but it is being very lorsistently circulated here and s published for what it is vorth." The Charlotte Observer of ast Saturday published, we unlerstand, an elaborate account if the rumors referred to. The ^aldington News, however, is mf hnril n f4 1* -* - 1 * " * ?uvtiv/i ivy iui II1U Stttl6Q16Dl here is "no ground whatever" or the rumor that R. K. D.irgan a not dead. Tho News says : "Tlie people of Darlington lave passed through trying ,iri.es during the past two weeks and rumo.s have been flying thick and fust. But the most remarkable of all is the report that Mr. Robert Keith Dargan 19 not dead. Telegrams have beon received in Darlington from different points asking for information, the report having spread nl! ov?r the State.

Convulsion, Fits, then Epilepsy. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine has been so successful in curing these brain-wrecking diseases that there is ever)' reason to believe tliat even the most hopeless cases can be benefited, if not fully restored. We will be pleased to refer any one thus afflicted to many who now enjoy the blessing of health, affeer years of hopeless suffering. i "I have a son that had brain fover | when two years old._followed by fits of ...nm uu>u no was prooouncea i Incurable. I spent hundreds of dollars for him, without relief. After nl>out I llfteen years he became so bad that we , sent him to Longcllff hospital for the ' Insane, at Logansport, Ind. lie was there nearly three years, but he continued to grow worse, so we brought him home July SO. 1002, In an awful condition. Me had lost his mind almost entirely. He hardly knew one of the \ family; could not even find his bed; was a total wreck. Ho had from 6 to ] 10 llts a day. Wo were urgod to try Dr. Miles' Nervine, and before the first bottle was used, we could see a change 1 for tho better. We have given It to him ever since, and he has had but two very light spells since last August, 1903, and then he was not well other ways. Wo pronounce him cured, ns he can work nnd go anywhere. If any one wishes to ask any questions concerning this, they are at liberty to do so." K. It. BUNNELL. Lincoln.- Ind.
