seems that an assault committed
upon the president of the United
States is simple assault and bat
terv, so that in case President
Mckinley should recover, as it
now seems probable, Czolgogz
would get off with comparative
ly light sentence. 1t has already
been suggested, that an act be
passed making it high treason
punishable by death to attempt
the life of the president and the
matter will no doubt be taken up
at the next session ofcongreSs.

One of the brightest and breez-
lest exchanges that CONES to this
office is the Georgetown Outlook,
which under the management Of
Mr.. J. Walter Doar continues to
grow better every issue. In last
weeks issue NJ. Doar says: 1.-The
Outlook's death was predicted six
month after it was born, but it is
good for a number of years yet
and is here to stay" 1t would
certainly indicate a strange lack
of appreciation on the part OF
Georgetown's people to allow such
a newspaper as the Outlook TO go
down. They should rather give
their undivided encouragement
and support. The wide-awake
merchants especially-we know
Georgetown has iheT-0ueht TO,
each one Of them, patronize lis
advertising columns Tor The sake
Of the paper which promotes the
prosperity of the city anG indi-
rectly helps every business enter
prise in it. Long live the Out
look!

A SHOCKING DEED.

The dastardly attempt on the
hfe of President Mckinley at Baf-
talo last Friday excited a thrill of
indignation and horror throughout
the nation. Irrespective of Sec
ton or political difference the
whole country joins IN. sympathy
for the kindly, genial man laid
low by the bullet of an assassin.
The administration of President
Mckinley has been a peculiarly
trying one in many respects, and
yet by the hberality and broad
minded patriotism he has shown
in The discharge Of his dulles as
head Of the nation he succeeded
in gaining the respect, if moi the
esteem, of many who differ AS
widely as possible with his pslili-
cal views.
Much of President McKinley's
popularity ia the South is due to
his conspicuous policy Of reconcil-
iation and a desire TO heal the
breach which has for more than
thirty years has divided the North
and the South. In bringing about
a better feeling and understand
iag between the divided country
he hts succeeded hey ond any Of
his predecessors, and it would De
sad indeed it his life should now
be cueshoit.

COURTENAY FOR GOVERNOR.

The friends Of Hon. Vim. A.
Courtenay are urging him to en-
ter the race for governor. Capt.
Cour;enay is best known to the
people Of the State as Mayor of
Charleston. For several terms he
filled that important Office as one
ofthe best officials Charleston ever
had. OF recent years Capt. Cour-
tenay has lived a, Newry, in Oco-
nee county, where he is president
of cotton mill. 4 man of broad
intelligence, exceptional business
capacity and unqueStioned de-
ninc:aay, Mr.. Courtenay, il he
consents to enter the race, vii!
make a strong candidate, and
should he be elected, will bring to
bear upon the affairs OF the State
the same sound judgmen: ana
executive ability that made his
administration a. mayor OF Char
lesion so eminentlv successful.
There are few men in South
Carolina with the loysl devotion
and disihterested patriotism OF

SIMPSONS INDlSPOSlTlON.

The press dispatches announce
Admiral Sampson as being in a
very precarious state of health.
In fact, it is said that his case is
almost hopeless. His sickness is
to a great extent attributed to the
worry attendant upon the Samp-
son-Scbley controversy, and his
friends claim That he is slowly
dying of a broken heart.
We are not inclined to take
much stock in the traditional
"broken heart" T." which, method OF
exit from this vale OF tears is eI-
tremeiy rare outside of the imagi-
nation Of romance writers. But
supposlng that such maladles
were as common as malarial fevers,
what has happened to cause in
Sampson such a disorder? He has
taken 10 himself the entire credit
OF the victory at Santiago; as well
as the cash in the way OF prize
money. He figures on the medals
con erred tor meritoriouS Conduc;
lie has received the reward IN the
way of promotion. Not content
with this he has sought through
Historian M'Ciay to blacken the
name Of Schley by branding him
traitor and caitiff. This seems to
be glory enough to satisfy a man
Of moderate ambition.
Yet one thing he lacks, nearly
all of which has been bestowed
upon his deopised rival - the
plaudits of the American people.
This may account for his melan-
choly condition; or it is solhe re-
morse Of conscience for the way
Schley has been treatel? AS the
time draws nigh for the court OF
inquiry Sampson grows steadily
worse. lie Will not, it is said, be
able to come before that tribunal
even as a witness. Is this an
earnest OF the vindlcation of Ad-
miral Winfield s.. Sch!ey, the hero
of the battle of Santiago?

AS corollary 10 the shooting
of the president it may be
remarked that the time has
come when the custom of indl$-
criminale Misunderstanding by public
men should be discontinued. 1t
IS senseless aud unnecessary
practice at best, not only placing
a man at the mercy of murdereuS
cranks, but exposing him to all
sorts Of contagious diseases with
which some of the hand d-shakerS
may be infected. However dem
ocratic it MAY seem for the chief
executive 10 shake hands with ali
classes and conditions Of people,
when it gives an opportunity to
thugs and assassins 10 carry out
their deadly plots 1t is time for
pubic men, even at the risk of
being considered proud and ex-
elusive, to be more careful with
whom they come in personal con-
tact.

tion of these qualities is his work
as chairman Of the Dimrod Memo
rial Association. In this position
the burden OF rescuing from OBJ
scurity the name and fame of the
poet Timred fell almost wholly
upon him. 1t was entirely a labor
of love, and yet amidst difficulties
and discouragemehtS that would
have daunted less determined
spirit, he performed the duty he
had undertaken so we'll that to-
day the poets works, which were
out Of print, are restored to circu-
ton and a handsome monument
erected to his memory in the city

many other rhilanthropic acts
never heralded before the public,
Capt. Courtenay's only reward is
his consciousness of duty well

Obituary.

The sngel of death has again ap-
peared in our community and gathered
home one of the best mothers and
neighbors this section of the country
contained, when on Saturday night,
January IL, 1901, occurred the death of
Mrs. E. b. Gould ut her home miles
southeast of town. The suddenness of
this death made it hard for her relatives
and friends to realize that death had en-
tered this home.
Minerva Ashburne was born at Nash
vile, Tenn, May 25, 1887, and died Jan
uary IL, 1901, at the age of nearly GA
years. She moved with her parents to
Bloomington, ILL.,, and thence to Rock
vile, and later to Delhi, Iowa, where
she was married to Edward Bruce
Gould April 81, 1867. This happy union
was blessed with eight children, four
daughters and four sons, three daugh-
tiers having preceded her to the last
resting place, Hattie, Cora and Ella.
Those living are, Charles, Edward, An
Gil, Elmer and Minnie. She also has
two brothers and four sisters, Harrison
Ashburne, of Earlville, and James, of
Spencer, Iowa, Mrs. Martha Aubrey, of
Earlville, Mrs. Mary Havens, of Albion,
Nebraska, Mrs. Sarah Watson and Mrs.
Eli West, both in western Iowa. These
with a sorrowing husband are all left to
mourn her sad and sudden death. Her
life was one of true womanhood. A
kind wife, loving mother and good
neighbor has gone to meet her reward
that of Christian and the hope of al
her friends is that they may SO live a:
to meet her in heaven.
The funeral was held at the NJ. +
church Monday, January IA, at O'Clock
p. M, conducted by Rev. b. W. Soper
assisted by Rev. John Klaus and Rev
Blskely, and the remains were laid tt
rest in Fairview cemetery. The funera
was one of the largest ever held in thu
city and testified to the number O
friends she has left to mourn, and tn
acquaintance and friend were synony
nous with her. The sympathies of tn
entire community is extended to thl
grief stricken family .-Earlville Phoe

Silver Anniversary.

silver Anniversary.
A farm gathering worthy of note
took place January 10Th by invitation
at the home of MIR. and Mrs. Allen S.
Coon on Rock Prairie to commemorate
the silver anniversary of their married
life, although that fact was intended
to be kept secret by them. But, as the
old saying is, Murder will out" and
some of those knowing the fact pro-
ceeded to put up job on the worthy
pair and procured each of them an easy
chair and purse of silver for Mrs. Coon.
The presentation was performed by a
neat little speech by W.O. Somes, which
was nicely responded to by M. and
Mrs. Coon, after which congratulations
were in order.
Covers were laid for nearly one hun
dred and dinner was served in four
courses by Miss Jennie Langhammer as
chief caterer, which is sufficient evidence
that it was all one could desire.
All present heartily enjoyed the occa-
sion and it was conceded by all that the
host and hostess were the best of enter
tanners, and their parting wishes were
that they might enjoy life and health
far beyond their golden wedding.

Afternoons.

Miss Grace Ford gave a Kensington
afternoon last Thursday to which the
attending guests were from the fortu
nate members of the above" picknick-
ers The hours from two to half past four
were spent in the relation of tales and
anecdotes throughout which busy fling
ers were plying the needle over dainty
embroideries and battenburg laces. A
two course lunch was served at half
past four. Miss Ford, kindly remem-
bering the capacity of her fellow doves
when it is matter of good things to
eat, prepared her delicious lunch dishes
accordingly in bounteous measure and
each one present did ample and fitting
justice thereto. Adjournment followed
and an exceedingly pleasant afternoon
