The Death OF the President.

President William Mckinley was shot by
an assassin on the 9Th instant, while holding
reception in the city OF Buffalo. The best
medical and surgical attention was given to
him. For several days his condition gave
hope OF ultimate recovery, but on the night OF
the 18th he had sinking spell, from which
he never rallied. At 2:l5 o'clock OF the morn
ing Of the 18th instant he died. six months
and eight days since his inauguration OF his
second term in Office.
No ruler was more beloved than William
Mckinley. The people Of his own country
feel that they have realized personal loss in
bis death, and Christian people in every land
have given evidence OF sincere regret at the
death OF so good and so great man. No
man ever possessed in a higher degree the
confidence and the goodwill OF the American
people than was accorded to William Nc
Kinley.
In his death the whole country has met q
loss, and this Is especially true Of the South,
where he was universally respected. He had
done more to bring peace and harmony to
this troubled or harassed section than any
man who has occupied the White House.
Greater honors have never been paid to the
dead than have been shown to the dead
President.
Elsewhere may be found much in reference
TO the death and burial.

McDills HindoO God, and the Picture
of Christian Preacher Alone
Escape Injury by Fire.

McDills HindoO God. and the Picture
Of Christian Preacher Alone
Escape Injury by Fire.
Mr.. J. Hayne McDin of this city is an
orthodox Christian Of the Associate Re
formed Presbyterian faith. Last week q
destructive fire damaged everything IN bis
etore except the Hindoo wooden god and the
picture OF distinguished Associate Reform
ed Presbyterian preacher; The latter as Wss
hung upon the walls: while the former was vas
stored away In the hidden recesses OF the
establishment.
We have not seen the picture OF the learned
Associate Reforme ed Presbyterian divt ne. since
the night OF the destructive fire, cut
we have been informed that 1t Is still all
right. We saw with our own eyes the Htndoo
idol. 1t seemed to be in q perfect state OF
preservation, and looked as serene as did q
printers monkeywrench after II had al
tempted to pass through the printing press
which 1t broke into pieces. The idol had the
appearance Of perfect innocence and exhibit
ed total unconsciousness that anything
strange had happened.
Well, now, can anybody explain why the
picture OF good Christian preacher ana
Hindoo idol alone should escape damage In SO
destructive fire? AS far as we are informed,
only these two articles escaped injury In q
fire which ruined everything else tn well
filled storehouse. Did the fire stand aloof In
respect to the Christian picture or did the
Hindoo idol control the con stunning element !
or course. there was nothing supernatural
about any OF this. The picture being near
the door. som ebody carried 1t out. The Hip
doc idol m ust bave been in the rubbish pile
at a depth to which the fire did not penetrate.

MCKINLEY DEAD.

"Hats off !" they said,
1.-THE President is dead;'
And somewhere overhead
A dark bell tolled and tolled;
"Hats off J" we said,
1.-THE President is dead"
And women-and not only women-cried,
Because the President has died.
was standing in Broadway,
And the long glad lights
Seemed suddenly to lose their heart and fail,
And down the shining street
There fell hush Of feet.
And kind Of smothered wall;
For bell tolled overhead,
1.-THE President is dead"
And some of us-not only women-cried,
Because the President had died.
True man, pure soul, brave heart,
How foul thing to do
Why didn't they kill anyone,
Dear President. but you!
But you-how could they dream
A dream ofhurt to you,
True American ii ever an American were true.
God knows! He knows your worth,
And He knows how much we care.
Ah l wish you could have seen,
Dear martyr, lying there,
Our eyes before you died,
And wish you could have heard
The little sobbing world
When the news was verified.
Well, fool has shot you down,
A fool In freedoms name.
Yet. you're living all the same;
You're living in our love,
Though you're lying In the grave
True. pure and Brave.
The tears of all the world
Lie on your grave like dew;
The eyes Of the whole world
Are wet for loss OF you.
For you and the brave life
That lived 30 near TO you.

Sincere Convictions.

About as often as The State speaks dis
paragingly Of others that paper lugs In some
thing Of self praise because OF Its alleged hon
esty or sincere convictions. The fact is, since
its birth, large proportion Of the warp and
woof OF the editorials of the State has been
made OF these two things: Selfpraise and
evil things of others. Eliminate such things
from the editorial columns OF The State, and
what would be left? The files alone could
tell.
Honesty in the journalism of South Caro-
lima Is no rare quality, and IL would seem
strange that any newspaper should claim TO
be overstocked with this good quality. To
claim such superiority can be but unfair and
unjust TO the hundred other editors who are
Just as honest, just as honorable and just as
truthful as The State. A disinterested public
would scarcely award to The State credit for
scintilla more OF honesty than they would
give to others. Cosrseness and disregard for
the rights and feelings Of others cannot be
mistaken for commendable character,
Honesty and sincerely are good qualities,
when directed by heart that is prompted by
good intentions. Honesty and sincerity OF
purpose are most noble qualities, when they
are exercised In q good cause, but honesty
and sincerity, when wrongly directed, or
exercised where 1t Is sought to strike down
another's good name, is no more honorable
and no more praiseworthy than the act Of the
assassin who strikes down the person or the
body Of the individual. We presume that
nobody will deny that the slayer Of the Presi.
dent was honest and sincere in his effort to as
sassipate him. The honest and sincere effort
TO kill the President was no more honorable
and no more praiseworthy than an effort to
sssassinate character. A good name is
even more sacred than human life, and he
that would destroy either deserves the respect
OF no high class people. The thief who
breaks into store is sincere in his effort to
do q dishonest thing.
Let another praise thee, and not thine own
lips. Seltpraise is said TO be halfscandsl,
and 1t must be lamentable condition OF
affairs when an editor feels that 1t is neces-
sary for him to continually remind his read
ers Of his honesty or good qualities. The
lady doth protest too much.
There are perhaps five thousand good
women in the city OF Columbia, whose good
character is doubted by nobody. Would IL
not. then, be 8 little singular II such ladies
should in season and out OF season. in private
and in the newspapers, proclaim their
purity?

The Trust.I

for the last few years, and 1t all may have
been deserved, but Abbeville seems to be
able to stand the Carolina Chemical Compa-
ny, which has recently bought the oil mill in
this city. The market for seed opened this
year at IS cents. Last year the market open.
ed at about 70 cents. For long time the cost
ofginning and packing cotton has been from
81 to sl.25 per bale, according to weight. We
learn that the trust proposes to gin and pack
for seventy i've centsa bale.
Heretofore middle men have generally re-
ceived dollar ton for br ytng seed, but the
middle men have been abolished and the
seed Is higher.

President Roosevelt.

Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt has
taken the oath Of President, and he is now in
the discharge OF the duties Of that high or
fee. He has declared his intention to carry
out the policy outlined by his predecessor.
Speaking for this newspaper. We have no
fears as to the fullfllment Of that promise.
President Roosevelt will be true to the best
interests of the country. and 1t is our belief
that he will make an acceptable officer. At
any rate, we shall, until otherwise con-
vincetl. believe that he has no enemity to the
South.
