AVANT SERVING TERM.
One of Men in Georgetown Murder
Case in Penitentiary.
Georgetown, Nov. 15.?W. B.
Avant, who together with Dr. G. C.
Bigham were convicted of the killing
of Mrs. G. C. Bigham, was taken to
the State penitentiary last Saturday
morning to begin his sentence of
three and a half years.
From what can be learned here
Dr. Bigham is still at large and the
last report from him is to the effect
that he is in Greenville. Evidently
there is some misunderstanding in
connection with the affair, Avant
having been arrested and sent to
prison and Bigham being out on
bond yet. It sertainly appears to be
illegal for Avant to be in and Bigham
out or vice versa, inasmuch as
they were both released at the same
time and under identically the same
conditions.
The Greenville End.
Greenville, Nov. 15j?Dr. G. C.
Bigham seems not to be in Greenville
at present, as he has not been seen
within the last few days. It is supposed
by some, however, that he is
somewhere in the county with his
relatives.
The sheriff of this county has recently
received a telegram from the
. sheriff of Georgetown county telling
him not to arrest Bigham, and from
this it seems that he is not considered
a fugitive from justice.

conference at Columbia last week.

in a lovely way by little
Miss Caroline Knowlton while at the
fair last week.
Misses Anna E. McCormack,
Belle Cooke and Kate Sadler spent a
pleasant time in the City by the Sea.
They returned home last Tuesday.
C. F. Rizer, who has been West

Falls to His Death.
Timmonsville. Nov. 14.?Thomas

Even though it was the negro who |

Two End Their Lives.
Hartford, Conn., Nov. 15.?The
jj. gruesome tale of a suicide pact which
m in fulfillment cost the life of Blanche
;n Ferguson, of Washington, and nearie
ly that of her companion, Fred J.
ir Reid, of Cleveland, was told to-day
l_ by Reid at a hearing before the chief
;(j of police. Though the couple had
known each Qther only two weeks
^ they had made two attempts to die,
j according to Reid. The night of
e* their arrival here they drank the con'
tents of a vial of morphine. This bet_
ing without desired effect, Reid had
the bottle refilled and the couple
spent their last money in decorating
their death chamber with white
flowers. Then they drank the mixture
and lay down to sleep what they
n. hoped would be their last sleep. The
r- ! girl never woke. Reid was saved by
"d prompt medical attention.
R I Ghastly white and emaciated from
d. ' the effects of the drug, Reid denied
w | to-dav that he handed the poison to
Jr I the girl. He helped himself and she
5-! did the same he declared. As a re'e
! suit of the story told by Reid, the pes'
; lice say it is their belief that he was
*e j prompted to make an attempt upon
! his life by remorse and because he
;s i had used money belonging to his
O employer. This money, according to
e Reid, was to be used in paying men
e | working under him in Cleveland, a
w I dozen of whom were to have receivte
j ed a week's pay each,
s- j The body of the woman was sent
1 to relatives at La Pala, Md., to-day.
