Saturday morning at 2 o’clock Be* •
ton- Fanning, 25 years old, died sud-
denly. He was a .-'lingle young man,
in business with his father, D. F.
Fanning. During the night he and a
few friends went-out about two miles
from here to what is known jas Heal
ing Springs and went in bathing, re
turning about 1 o’clock. He went to
bed and at 2 o’clock his father heard
him struggling and, going bo h;s
l»ed. found him dead.
The water at the Healing Spring*
bathing place is very cold and it in
thought, as it was a very hot night,
it was too much of shock for him
and caused heart failure.
He was buried yesterday afternoon
at 5 o’clock in the Blackville ceme
tery.
