Seventh Fever Victim at Normal

Greensboro, Nov. 30 — Miss McGOUGAN, of Robeson county, a student at the Normal, died this morning of typhoid fever.  She had been sick about ten days.  During the last days of her illness she was nursed by her mother, who today carried the body of her daughter to her home at Lumber Bridge.

The total number of deaths from the fever at the Normal is seven.  There is an improvement in the condition of the patients, though several of the girls remain critically ill.  The directors of the college are still in session, and nearly all the members of the board are present.  They are still silent.  Their conservatism and painstaking efforts to ascertain the cause of the sickness are to be commended.
