BURIAL OF THE PRESIDENT.


In Canton on Thursday.
At daybreak this morning, says Can
ton. Ohio. dispatch Of Thursday night
the streets were filled to overfiowing
with. thousands who wished to pay
homage to the dead president. Every
civilized country in the world was rep
resented.
At 1.13 the remains of the dead presi-
dent were brought from the Mckinley
house and were conveyed to the First
Methodist Episcopal church. The pro-
cession from the home to the church
was simple. An advance guard Of po-
lice was followed by a band playing
Lead Kindly Light" which headed the
cortege. Carriages containing Presi-
dent Roosevelt and cabinet followed
with an escort. Henry Mcfarland,
president of the board Of commissioners
Of the District Of Columbia, Judge Will
liams Of the supreme court, Governor
Nash and Lieutenant Governor Cald-
we'll, were honorary pall-bearers. They
followed the presidents party. Then
came the. local honorary pail bearers.
After them came the pail within the fu-
neral car. Then followed senators, rep
resentatives' and others. The weeping
of thousands along the route was heart
rending in the extreme.
At 1.30 the cortege arrived at the
church. Eight bluejackets carried the
remains into the edifice.
Services began with prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Milligan. The congregation
kneeled, and was silent, weeping. The
Rev. DR.. Herbruck followed with Scrip
tural reading from the '14th chapter OF
Corinthians, after which Lead Kindly
Light" was sung. The Rev. Manches-
ter pronounced the funeral address. He
reviewed the presidents \ life work,
which he said the president had con-
quered. He highly eulogized him not
only as president, but as husband and
man. Bishop Joyce followed. with
short prayer; then Nearer Ny God to
Thee" was sung amid much weeping
and wailing. The crowds then filed out
of the church.
The body was then borne to the
hearse, which started with the remains
on the journey for West Lawn ceme-
terry. The crowds stood with barred
heads as the funeral passed and the
weeping was more expressive than ever.
Mrs. Mckinley was unable to attend
the funeral and remained at home un-
der care Of DR.. Rixey; her collapse is
expected momentarily. The collection
of floral tributes was the most beautiful
ever seen in this country.
While the services were held In the
church there was a complete cessation
Of every industry in the United States.
The progress of all railroad trains,
street cars, and all classes Of vehicles
was arrested. Thousands Of citizens
stood in the streets with uncovered
bowed heads and women wept aloud.
Services were held in the churches
throughout the world: foreigners as
we'll as Americans paid fitting tribute
to the dead American president.

South Carolina by the distribution of
patronage, no matter how judicious
that distribution may be. nor no
matter whether 1t be by Republican
patronage distributed by Democrat or
Democratic patronage distributed by 2
Democrat. Every award Of plum
makes as many enemies on the side OF
the disappointed. as it does friends on
the side Of the fortunate. But as The
Observer remarks, patronage Is not go
ing to seriously affect the policy for
which McLaurin stands. That policy
appeals far beyond the selfishness of
the few who can be put into soft jobs.

WHEN the public mind begins to sum
it all up, it will be found that as one
significant result of the tragic death of
the president, the north and south will
be more closely cemented together than
they have been for at least 70 years. 1t
may have been a mere passing emotion,
as so many seem to think, that has
moved the nation so deeply; but we be-
lieve that time will show differently.
During the past two weeks over eighty
millions of people have seen some
things as they never seen them before,
and that the general effect upon the
life and character of the nation can be
other than permanent is almost incon-
ceivable.

In view of the declarations contained
in the platforms of both political par
ties, the expressions in the presidents
last public speech, the determination
of President Roosevelt and the profes-
sions of senators and representatives
generally, there should be no further
unnecessary delay about the digging
of the Nicaragua canal. 1t is useless
however, to build too much on the
speed with which the work is to be ac-
complished, for Notwithstanding the
desire of the American people on the
subject. there are politicians who viii
continue to throw every possible OBJ
stacle in the way.

THERE is some speculation as to what
President Roosevelt's attitude will be
towards Senator McLaurin-whether he
will permit him to have voice in the
selection of postmasters in South Caro-
lima, as President Mckinley did. The
presidents attitude toward McLaurin
is not going to effect the growth of the
policy that McLaurin stands for. In
deed we believe it would be better for
what is known as the "Commercial
Democracy" in the state If the senator
had no federal patronage at all at his
disposal Observer.
That is correct: all Of it. Although
anybody with half sense could see that
Mr.. McLaurin's connection with Repub-
lican patronage was bound to make him
an easy mark for shafts Of prejudice,
still had h" refused to give the preSi-
dent his advice. at request. he would
have been Il moral coward, which he is
not. However it may be north. no man
can considerably strengthen himself in

ly with all the taxpayers, 1t Is urged
that the legislature in January refuse
to extend the time. The small taxpay-
ers usually pay up before the expira-
ton Of the time set by the statute, and
the greatest annoyance Is caused by
corporations which hold back the pay
ments as long as possible in order to
save the interest.
Mr.. Campbell said yesterday that II q
farmer Is able to hold his cotton until
after the first Of the year, and thus
speculate at the expense Of the county,
he should be able to pay his taxes
when they are due regularly.

FOLLOWED PRESIDENT TO CALIFoR-
N1A.-It is asserted, says a San Fran
cisco dispatch, that Leon Czolgosz. the
assassin Of President Mckinley, fol-
lowed his victim to California on the oc-
casion of the late presidents visit to
this coast. Czolgosz Is said to have
been at Pacific Grove, near Monterey,
about May II, when Mr.. Mckinley
drove over from the Hotel Del Monte
to take part in the Grand Army en-
campment at that place. Czolgosz has
been identified from newspaper pictures
by Charles G. Chamberlin, the postmas-
ter at Pacific Grove, as the man who
called at the postoffice about that time
and made anxious inquiry for letters
addressed to his alias Of Frederick
Neiman.

THE ROUND BALE CoMPANY.-Mr.
Bryan has declared that the round bale
company Is not a trust in the ordinary
acceptance of the term, and has abb
solved his former manager, Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, from all blame or
being connected in business way with
it. Ex-Governor James P. Clark, who
is a candidate to succeed Mr.. Jones In
the senate. has already opened his
campaign and is giving the quondam
Bryan optimist a run for his money.
Clark might logically claim that the
Round Bale company is not square

trusted.-Greenville News.

The DELAYED Train.

The break on the S. c. & Ga. Exten-
sion railroad. between the SOth and Slst
mile posts. last Tuesday, was more ex-
tensive than was indicated by first re-
ports. 1t was at first given out that
the train would reach Yorkville during
the early afternoon. 1t did not arrive,
however. until after o'clock, and made
the return trip through here at about
230 o'clock Wednesday morning. An
other heavy rain. during Wednesday,
made more trouble and caused more
delay, and the southbound train was
again late Thursday, not arriving at
Yorkville until about IL O'Clock.

THERE is no use in discussing the
Virginia idea Of quadrennial sessions OF
the legislature as applied to this state;
but it would certainly be very desira-
BILE to change the constitution so as to
provide for biennial sessions. Annual
meetings Of the legislature are entirely
unnecessary in this state, and had
there not been so many members of the
house and senate in the late constitu-
tional convention, that fact would have
been duly recognized then.

CAN FOOD DO IT.



To discover a food that will cure a
nervous wreck is indeed a Godsend.
Mrs. Stella Penal, 1927 West Thirty
first street, Los Angeles, Cal, had a
very remarkable experience. She says:
''About twelve years ago, l was run
over by a carriage and my spine in
jured. My left arm was partially para
lyzed, walking was difficult and l had
continual pains and aches in my
whole body.
ITO induce a movement of the bow
els, | invariably had to resort to me-
chanical means. i would sit up in bed
for hours, suffering severe collicky
pains, caused by the non-digestion of
the starch of the food. My heart was
so weak that at times no pulse could
be felt, and it seemed at times af if l
must die. I tainted very often, ONE
times lying in a half fainting condition
for hours, unable to move OF speak,
though conscious.
Shortly after Xmas Providence di-
rected me to buy a box of Grape-Nuts
food. which | have since eaten twice a
day.
THE improvement in health has
been wonderful; o / can eat and di-
gest food, my bowels act naturally
and regularly, circulation is better, ca
tarrh moderated, and | have gained
much in weight and am better every
way. j can read and think, while be-
fore, my eyes and brain felt too weak
to do either. | a walk a long ways
and have not used my air cushion for
some time and j have no further need
of it."
This is a direct demonstration of
the fact that Grape-Nuts food surely
does rebuild the soft, gray matter in
the brain and nerve centers. and any
depleted person a prove this by use.
One can not get well Of nervous trou-
bles without the right sort OF food to
rebuild this curious substance which
is found in the brain, and this must
be rebuilt from the foo| Grape-Nuts
food is made especially for the pur~
pose.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February A.
Art Simms, of Akron, and Frank
Boyle, of Pittsburg, fought tonight in
the Avenue theatre. The bout was a
miserable failure. Before the first
round had gone thirty seconds, Simms
put his man down with two terrific
punches in the face. Boyle got to his
feet on the count of four, but Simms
soon had him on the run and after one
or two passes, Boyle went limping to
his corner. The audience thought his
ankle was twisted, but a physician an
nounced that his right hand was brok-
en- and he could not proceed with the
contest.
Referee Tim Hurst gave the decision
to Simms and the crowd dispersed
badly disappointed.

many think that all are representing

Commissioners could give this fran
chise without the consent of the pike
commissioners but in a recent opin-

the pike commissioners must give the
