ANOTHER UNIVERSITY VICTIM.
The Death of Student C. R. Tate in Pickens County.

Athens, Ga., July 1-
The citizens and students at Athens were shocked this morning by receiving 
inteligence of the death of Mr. C. R. Tate, of the class of eighty-nine, at his 
home in Pickens county.
Mr. Tate was one of the most genial and popular men at the university, and was 
loved by all who knew him.  His death and the serious  illness of young Henry 
Jackson and other students will bring the matter of earlier vacation forcibly 
before the board of trustees,
The barbarous custom of continuing the most arduous duties of college life 
through the hottest months of the summer should be at once abandoned before it 
enroll other young men among its victims.

A SAD DEATH.
C. R. Tate, a Student at the University of Georgia, Dies Suddenly.

A telegram received in Atlanta from R. F. Maddox, Jr., last night, conveyed 
intelligence of the death of C. R. Tate, a student at the University of 
Georgia, and a classmate of Mr. Maddox.
The young man is a son of Sam Tate, well-known in Atlanta as the proprietor of 
Tate's marble works, in Picken county, North Georgia.  He was a bright and 
promising scholar and his death will be greatly regretted.
The remains will pass through Atlanta this morning, in charge of Mr. Maddox.  
He will attend the funeral of his friend, who will be buried at his home, in 
Pickens county.
