Wilson, N. c.. Nov. Wilson was
very much shocked to-day about noon

Gay had killed Wade Aycock and had
then attempted to commit suicide.
1t seems that Aycock, proprietor of the
yellow Leaf saloon, had turned Gay off
last night on account of some irregulari-
ties in the cash registers account. Gay
had been clerking in the saloon for some
time, and it has since been reported that
there was on another occasion some ir-
regularities. This second occurrence
then led to his discharge by Aycock.
This morning about II o'clock Gay
went to the saloon and with little warn
ing shot his former employer in the back
of the head with fatal results.
He then turned the pistol on himself
but the shot did not prove fatal, and his
physicians say he will recover in short
while
A coroner's inquest was held at once
The verdict charged Gay with murder and
he was taken to Jail The feeling among
the dead mans friends is intense.

This thanksgiving finds the people
still Lowed with sorrow for the death of
a great and good President. We mourn
President Mckinley because we so loved

ity from the path of strong, orderly
popular liberty which as a nation we
have thus far safely trod.
yet in spite of this great disaster, it
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 prospered in things
material and have been able to work for
our own uplifting in things intellectual
and spiritual. Let us remember that, as
mucn has been given us, much will be
expected of US: and that true homage
comes from the heart as well as from
the lips and shows itself in deeds. We
can best prove our thankfulness to the
Almighty bv the way in which on this
earth and at this time each of us does
his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore. I. Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States. do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving. Thursday the 2Sth of this
present November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people
cease from their wonted occupations,
and at their several homes and places
Of worship reverently thank the Oliver
of I'll good for The countless blessings
of our national life.
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done at the City of Washington, this
second day of November, in the year OF
our Lord ore thousand nine hundred and
one, and of the Independence of the
United States the one hundred and
twenty sixth
