Court MournIno for the President.

King Edward has ordered that the court go into mourning for a week as tribute to the memory of the late President, and as an expression of sympathy with the nation that has lost beloved chief magistrate.
 Heretofore court mourning has been confined to the memory of persons of royal blood, and King Edward has in his recent order established prece- dent of an unusual nature. A Presi. dent of the United States has come to be considered a parsonage of royal rank. King Edward is inclined to in sist upon a deal of court ceremony but he is not so tied to ancient eti- quette that he cannot recognize chang ing conditions. He sees that the world moves, something that his good mother did not see so well.
 But aside from etiquette this order of the English King is important be- cause it shows how close the rela- tons of the two Anglo-Saxon coun- tries have become. England stood firmly by the United States in our war with Spain, and much of the easy con quests of that war are duo to Eng lands moral support, which was made known and recognized everywhere. aThe strain of the Boer war has not interrupted the good relations exist ing between the two countries. These friendly relations will be increased by the recent act of King Edward. Blood is thicker than water, and the two great nations of one tongue, one Shakespeare, if not one blood, should always be friends, for the hope of the world is in their hands.

Another Ria Railroad System,

Few people in this town appreciate the fact that they live at the easterly terminal of a great western railroad system-a system that radiates in Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. It Is known as the Frisco System, and it is gathering in lines from time to time, its latest acquisitions being the St. Louis and Memphis. the Memphis and St. Louis, and the St. Louis, Caruthers. vile and Memphis.
 It is believed the intention of the Boston owners of the Frisco System to be to secure a line from ocean to ocean. There have been reports that lines have been secured in Mexico that would give the system an outlet on the Pacific, and if this should prove to be true an extension from this town, which is the eastern terminal of the entire system, to the Atlantic would be next in order.
 The value of this system to this dis trict can scarcely be overestimated. It is so large system and of so diverse a nature from other lines in Alabama that it cannot well be absorbed or con. solidated or controlled. It is not a Morgan road. It is a .Boston-owned road, and its presence here makes our railroad position stronger and more in. dependent.
 We need also the Illinois Central, which has entered the State. The chief attention of the Commercial Club should be directed towards attracting the Illinois Central this way. A gap of about 100 miles is to be built, and 1t is very important that this gap should be filled in order that all pos sible railroad facilities should be con- centrated here, where the tonnage ex- ceeds the entire cotton crop at least six times.

Assassination is Treason,

Anarchy as a political theory has but little sense in It. It springs in good part in this country no doubt from the unjust exactions of the tariff robbers and the trusts. It is the demon of discontent. It is widespread, al most every large community possess ing some people who are ready to strike at all law and all order and all society as at present organized.
 It is not possible to suppress by law political theory, for the more 1t Is persecuted the stronger 1t becomes; but 1t is possible to make an attempt against the life of the head of the State treason, and this should be done. The hysterical period following the tragedy In Buffalo is now fairly ended, the hunting down of anarchists who were In nowise connected with that terrible crime is thing of the mem- ory, but there should be no ending to the agitation that calls for new laws for the protection of the coun- try's chief magistrate. Not only should a crime against the chief ex- ecutive be made treason by federal laws, but provision should be made that one charged with a crime of that nature should be denied public trial, and exceptionally speedy processes should be brought in. If there is to be an appeal, let 1t be heard at once. Not over one month should elapse be- tween the crime and its punishment. This is done in other countries with out infringing upon any mans rights, even in the French republic, and there is no reason why IL should not be done in this country. There are abundant reasons why it should be done.
 If free government and an access ible head of the State are to be main tained in this country, we must drive assassins out. We may not be able to drive anarchists out with their ab- surd theories, but we can render the punishment of assassination speedy and certain, depriving it of the the atric element, and affording the assas- sin no opportunity to air his vanity. The time for a change in the handling of State assassins has fully come, and the present feeling in the country should be maintained until needful changes in the law are made. Assas- sination or attempted assassination against the head of the State should be made treason, to be handled by the federal government privately and ex- peditiously. This is what three assas- sinations of Presidents demand, and this demand should be met by Con- gross next winter

THE NORTH POLE.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
 The news from the Peary relief expe- dftion shows the north pole to be as far as ever from attainment. According to the programme of this persistent ex- plorer, the pole should have been reach- ed by him either last year or the pres ent season. He seems ito have got with in 450 miles of the goal but to have fail- ed to make it.
 This by no means counts as a failure. Geographically. Pearys work Is very im- portant He has marked the northern limit of the Greenland archipelago, prob ably the most northerly land In the world. and he has reached the highest latitude yet attained In the western hem isphere. To science. Peary will be able to make notable contributions.
 But as for the approach to the pole it. self we have had since Peary went into the land of ice. the record of SC degrees 33 minutes north, made by the Duke of Abruzzi, against which Pearys S3 de- grees 90 minutes does not make much showing. Nevertheless, the plan of Peary's advance upon the pole remains still practicable, and his declaration that he shall "try 1t again next spring" in spires the hope that the Stars and Stripes will be the flag first to float from that pinnacle of the world

Roosevelt and 1904.

'I am not now in any sense candi- date for 1904" says President Roose- yeit. And then he added, If fail in my present duties I cannot hope for future honors. I will fail If I give thought to anything but the demands made upon me-"
 This simply means that he intends to succeed himself, but he intends to earn the succession by giving the country good government in the term, nearly full one. that has come to him through strange circumstances.
 But honest, capable and courageous as the new President may be in the routine affairs of the government, yet success cannot come to him if the rob Der tariff and it's trusts are permitted

Fair Sans Soucj.

Sans Souci is very beautiful just now In it's wealth of earliest autumn tints. and the glow of that divine atmosphere of the south Carolina Piedmont, of which Greenville is the true capital" said Mrs. John Hollis Bankhead yesterday.
 Sans Souci never before looked so beautiful, and it has been made doublv attractive in material things since the first week of June. When the girls who attended Mrs. Perry's admirable schoo, last scholastic year assemble for the re- opening of the school next Wednesday they will be delightfully."- surprised by the many Improvements. and the many new pupils will surely be charmed.
 "All the woodwork of the mansion has been repainted and the house inside en- tirely renovated Water from Paris Mountain now runs into every room. and every room has fine bath, and will be heated by steam from a new furnace that has been placed In the basement.
 Above all new wing sixty by forty feet, heated throughout by steam has been added to the eastern side of the mansion. one floor of which forms an audltorlum ana study hail. and the up- per floor contains bedrooms. whilst the ground floor contains the new Kitchen. and cut off by thick wall from the kitchen is perfectly appointed gym nasium. Thus you see there have been many changes.
 Mrs. Perry will have amongst her pu- pills five or seven Birmingham girls, and three from Huntsville. two from Mont gomery, three from Mobile, and several from other parts of Alabama. together with two fair representatives of Augusta, Ga., one or two each from Savannan and Macon. others from Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi, not to mention the Car olinas'

NO MORE ANARCHY.
Saloon Keepers Who Harbof Them
 Must Quit Business.

New York, September 2o-After a minute depioring the death of President Mckinley and extending the boards sympathy to Mrs. Mckinley had been recorded, President Louis Lewis of the Excise Commission of Newark, N J., offered the following anti-anarchstic resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
 Whereas. 1t has come to the notice of the Board of Excise that certain saloon keepers of this city have been guilty of permitting anarchists to assemble in their places of business and make speeches against the head of our nation; therefore, be 1t sf7a,
 Resolved, That any saloonkeeper in this city who shall be charged by the police with harboring anarchists or per- hitting them to hold meetings In their places of business and make speeches against the government and the good of the community, shall be deemed not the this character, and any person guilty of such offense shall suffer the revocation of his license and be debarred from again receiving license to do business in this city"
 Three captans of the Newark police thanked the board for it's action.
 John Drowdeski. the saloonkeeper in whose place the police made arrests of two men last Saturday for drinking the health of the assassin of President Mc- Kinley. has had his license cancelled by the b.ard.

1 Washington, September 20.-(Special.)- l A modest little chapel which stands at the rear of the lot at tho corner of Eff I teenth and o streets, northwest, will l probably be the place of worship of the I President of the United States. Of course. the President has not said that he will worship there, nor will there be any formal way in which he will rec ognize 1t as his place for devotion. Yet on the only Sunday which he has spent in Washington since electeG Vice Presi- dent he went to the little chapel.
 The church in which MT. Roosevelt has membership Is the Dutch Reformed church. but as there is no congregation of that denomination here he will select the Grace Reformed chapel, as the little chapel is called. While Mir Roosevelt was resident of Washington as member of the United States civil service commission and while assistant secretary of the navy. ne attended services at number of churches. but at that time he did not know that there was German Reformed church in the national capital which did not differ in any particular from the Dutch Reformed organization to which he belongs. After he was elected Vice President. Rev. pr. Schick addressed a letter to him. as well as to President Me- Kinley congratulatng them upon their selection by the people and inviting the Vice President to worship at the little church. The doctor says he was moved to address them because he had noticed that all the congratulations which they received were from politicians.

BABE IN THE WOODS.
Dead Body of Three-Year-oId Child
 Found In Swamp.

Menomminie. Wis, September 2O.-The lifeless body of the three-year-old son of Andrew Kragness of this city, was found in a swamp three miles from home, where he had wandered and perished from ex- posure fatigue and fright.
 He went Into the woods on Tuesday aft ernoon with two other boys, and when night came he could not be found. A searching party numbering over 200 were formed and the adjacent country was secured without success. Worn out with fatigue a new party of over thirty was formed Wednesday, which renewed the search with increased determination.
 Wilson Creek was dragged for two miles and every farm house within five miles of the city was visited. The news spread through the city, and the excite ment increased so that when night came a fresh party of over 400 was ready to resume the search. They were formed in long lines, and, aided with lanterns, they patrolled the woods and swamps, walk ing about eight feet apart and resembling an army of soldiers.
 On Thursday the search was continued Finally three miles from home in a swamp the lifeless body of the little fel- low was found. His tear-stained face and bruised body showed signs of great suf- fering from fright and pain.

IS ROOSEVELT A FREE TRADER
From the Macon Telegraph.

III.
 Among the utterances with regard to President Roosevelt's leanings and fu- ture policies, one of the least expected in many quarters is the following from Henry George, Jr., in the Philadelphia North American: "In years past Theo- dore Roosevelt was what a protectionist would call a free trader, and doubtless he has the same views today. The first time I heard him speak was at an annual dinner of the New York Free Trade Club in the early eighties. He was a member of that club and also, if mistake not, an honorary member of the Golden Club in London On the occasion to which I re- fer he entered late, having had to attend a drill of his militia company, of which he still wore his officers uniform Some of the speakers were of the tariff flor revenue stripe and some of the no-tariff- at-all kind, but all were against a tariff for protection. and Theodore Roosevelt
 was among the number" If he "has the same views of today" or even a modif- that he will do all he can to forward President McKinley's later policy of reciprocity" or freer opportunities for foreign traders in the United States in order that foreign governments may grant freer opportunities for our own traders. now that foreign markets begin to be our most pressing need

to prey upon the people-if the trans continental railroad combine be per mitted to further obstruct the building of the Nicaragua eanal--if the ship building trust and rich liners are en' abled to plunge their hands into the treasury.
 It is these demands" of the people that President Roosevelt must face and define when his annual message goes to Congress in December, and it is these demands" that Congress must then act upon, and upon the decisions rest the election of 1904. No one doubts President Roosevelt's courage or personal honesty, but the courage and honesty of his party will determ- inc his fate in 1904. The party is at present in the hands of the looters- the trusts and railroad combines and tariff robbers of the country. Is Pres ident Roosevelt strong enough and brave enough to put the looters down? This Is the big demand" that is made upon him. This is the big demand" that he must face. He will fail, as all of his party predecessors have failed, and a Democrat who is not looter will be his successor.
