' Childm PoiseaeS by Eating Jimsoa "West Florence, Sept. 22.?The parents of several children were very much P alarmed last night. Two of Mr. W. H. Commander's young children and one of Mr. H. J. McVeigh's were taken with violent convulsions shortly before dark and it appeared that death would overtake them immediately. Three or four physicians were summoned at once and for several hours their efforts seemed unavailing. Finally a stomach pump was used k upon the McVeigh child, and it was E \ discovered that the child had eaten what is familiarly known as jimson weed. The children had been playing together during the afternoon, and it seems had all eaten some of the jimson weed^ As the wood is poisonous, it was some time before the antif -dotes administered the children took effect. They are all reported as well today. Tm a*'? Uwsnenaia BemeAv. mJ - ""V v A Guaraateed Cure.

Mystery Surrounds Clemson College Student's Fatal Fall?Gloom Cast Over the College. Clemson College, Sept. 23.?Cadet Joe E. Reaves of Latta died at noon yesterday from the effects of a fall ' from a second story window of the barracks some time Friday night. That he had fallen from his room was not known till daylight yesterday morning, when Mr. A. F. Beaver discovered the unfortunate young man, lying in a dying condition on the concrete pavement on the north side of the barracks. Mr. Beaver called for help and Messrs. F. M. Stephenson and O. L. Derrick were the first on the scene. These young men put their fellow-cadet on a mattress and i went for the college surgeon, Dr. A. ]VI. Redfearn. Dr. Redfearn saw that there was no hope for the young man, but had him removed to the hospital and did all that was possible for him. He never regained consciousness. i How JMr. Reaves came to fall i3 a mystery. Neither of his room-mates knew of anything unusual until they were waked yesterday morning and found their room-mate on the pavement below. There is no suspicion whatever of hazing, because the three room-mates, R. O. Poag, E. L. Martin and Joe E. Reaves, were all classmates and close friends, and, besides, they are quiet, studious, sober, Christian boys?all of. them taking interest in the work of the Y. M. C. A. and Sunday school. Messrs. Poag and Martin say that all retired at the usual hour last night, in good health and the best of spirits. They say that Mr. Reaves had been greatly interested in the ladder fireescape that was put up by his widow recently, and had remarked that it would be dangerous to jump from the end of it, because it was so far from the pavement.. The theory is that he must have, in his sleep, tried to go down the escape. The fall was about 18 feet. A student escort accompanied the ! body to Latta, S. C. I ^ + A VtOO noflf. O I 1 lie UU1U1 I'UJiauC avv/tu^ui. uao vowu u gloom over the entire college community. The sympathies of all go out to the entire family, but especially to the young brother, who had just entered college and who sat in sorrow beside his suffering brother to the end. Prof. S. W. Reaves, formerly assistant professor of mathematics at Clemson, but now of the University of Oklahoma, is a brother of the deceased young man.?The State, 24. A Card.
