President Roosevelt Saturday issu-
ed his proclamation fixing Thursday,
November IS, as u day of national
thanksgiving. 1t follows:
"A PRoCLAMATIoN.
The season is nigh when, accord
ing to the time hsllowed custom of
our people, the President appoints a
day as the especial occasion for praise
and Thanksgiving to God.
This thanksgiving finds the peo-
pie still bowed with sorrow for the
death of a great and good President.
We mourn President Mckinley be-
cause We SO loved aud honored him,
and the manner of his death should
awaken In the breasts of our people a
keen anxiety for the country and at
the same time "A reSolute purpose not
to be driven by any calamity from
the path of strong. orderly, popular
liberty, which, as nation, We have
thus far safely trod.
yet In spite of this great disaster,
1T is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause
for thanksgiving as We have. The
past year In particular has been one
of peace and plenty. We have pros
pered in things material and nave
been able TO work for our own npIft
ing IN things intellectual aud spirit
ual. Let us remember that, as much
has been given Us. much will be eX-
pected from us: and that true 10
mage comes from the heart az we'll
as from the lips and shows itself 81
deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty 10y the
way in which on this earth aud at
this time each of us does his duty 10
his fellow men.
"Now, therefore, |, Theodore

The Last OF CzoiRosz

Leon Czolgosz, the assassin Oh
President Mckinley, was put 10
death by electricity IN the State prls-
on at Album, y. Y, tuesday morn
ing at 7:l2 o'clock. The murderer
was unrepentant aud sullen to the
last. During the week previous TO
his death Polish priests endeasor-
ed 10 interest him III his spiritual
condl.l ION, but they got 40 sauslac-
ton from him. On Monday his
brother talked with him, but Leon
said nothing Of Interest. The broth
er desired him to see the priests
again, but be cursed them and their
religion and would have nothing to do
with spiritual affairs. He declared
that no one had anything to DO with
his crime but himself, and to the
superintendent vi the prison be re-
lterated this statement As he was
caught in several lies. iOwever, this
question is unsettled.
The assassin slept we'll from 10
O'Clock Monday night until he was
awakened at D o'clock Tuesday
morning, and his impending doom
seemed to worry him but little He
ate a hearty breakfast with relish.
At the appointed time he was taken
to the death han Der, where 26 wit
nesses were assembled. As he was
being strappea u the electric chair
he said: 81 killed the President ce-
cause he was an enemy of good PEG
ple-of the good working people"
IL am not sorry for my crime"
Just before the face mask was put
on him he remarked,"I am sorry
didn't see my father" These were
his last words. The electric current
was then turned on. As it passed
through him his body stiffened until
the straps cracked 1t was kept on
for As seconds, then turned off and
on again for few seconds. A few
moments later and the doctors pro
nounced him dead. The doctors
performed post mOtem examination
Immediately after his death. They
found his brain and other organs
healthy and normal, In the after
noon his body was taken to grave
in the prison cemetery. Before the
coffin was lowered a barrel of quick
lime had been poured into the bottom
of the grave. Then came the open
coffin, and into this two more barrels
of lime were emptied. A carboy of
sulphuric acid was poured over the
lime and two more barrels of lime
were emptied in. Over ell d barrel
of water was poured, and while the
smoke rose in the air like cloud of
spray the earth was shoveled in
Within 10 hours from the time it
was buried it is believed the body
was entirely disintegrated.

The official vote four years ago is:
DR.. William Jones on Roosevelt
Washington Dinner.


\. {. more fully, perhaps, than any
man living represents the intensely
southern element aud sentiment.
DR.. Jones has been as little recon
structed as 1t is possible for man to
be. He has long been known to be
one of the Staunchest champions of
the South, her customs aud her ideas
lie has given none of them up. He
represents the old Sonth as trnlv as
be does the new. He has never re-
linquished one jot of the rights for
which the South coutended during
the war.
DIR. Jones is the grand chaplain of
the United Confederate Veterans.
He was present and helred to organ
ize the Veterans into this body. He
has never missed reunion from that
day TO this.
lie is the author of series of
school histories of the United States
which are being quite widely used.
Therefore, DR.. Jones can more
nearly voice the feeling of the more
distinctly southern people regarding
the Washington Roosevels dinner
than probably any one man IN the
country.
DR.. Jones is in the city a. present.
being here on visit. He came to
Virginia to attend a meeting of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veter-
aus. He talked to Dispatch repre-
sentative yesterday about the dinner,
aud said in his emphatic way what he
thought of il. He Is very much like
Congressman II. ID. Flood, who said
be would see Federal patronage in
HI before he would truckle to
man who ate with negro. OF
course, DR.. Jones never said this or
ANYTHING like it. But he has an
equally clear-cut opinion, aud is Just
as fearless in expressing it. The two
gentlemen mean probably the same
thing.
DIR. Jones said he did not deny to
"a private citizen living upon his own
premises the right To eat or sleep
with negro if be were fond of that
sort of thing, but Mr.. Roosevelt, AS
President of the United States.
which is the South as we'll as the
North, aud living in the White
House, which is not his private home
byt his official home, and is the
property of the United States, had
no right to do that which was SO of
fensive to millions of the people
of his country.
do you think that the logical
conclusion of the Presidents act Is
social equality?" was asksd of DR..
Jones.
Yes" he replied, "that is the way
| construe. Others are inclined to
think that the President simply
meant to stamp the sign of his APP
proval upon such a man as Booker
Washington. But see he invited
Giles Jackson, IF this city, also"
DR.. Jones said further he thought
the President would continue to eat
with negroes throughout his admin
istration. 1t was Roosevelt's hobby
to defy public opinion. He had ac-
cepted the first opportunity to wave
the red flag in the face of the South
ern public.
DR.. Jones continued that he felt
like saying what he had remarked
once in New York, that other people
could eat and sleep with negroes if
they chose, but for him, he would
not, and would not associate with
those who did.-Richmond Dispatch.

The Result in Clarke County

The vote polled in this county was
the smallest for many years, consid
ering the importance of the election.
The greatest apathy and Indifference
to democratic success was manifested
by the voters of that party.
The vote on amendments to the
constitution received small vote.
Many voters professed ignorance as
to the proposed changes, and others
thought it unnecessary to vote on the
