bring the region into the Northern
markets and to the notice OF tour
lists III way never possible before.
No wonder the people OF that sec

lines are singing the praises OF the
SaabOard. What it has done III

ship and loyal support OF the people
to degree enjoyed by few corpora
tions OF the kind.
All of which comes OF the liberal
and broad-minded policy pursued by
the management.

IN MEMORY OF rlCKiNLEY.
Atlanta Constitution. l4ti.

One year ago today the gentle and
generous heart OF William Mckinley
ceased to beat and his spirit passed
over into the ranks Of the invisible
majority. A nation OF the freest aud
most peaceable people on earth stood
awed by his death. Stricken in the
midst of great Industrial festival by
shot fired fr"ni he pistol of craci.
Drained di>rip." az anarchy, the people
could hardly r-aIiZ- tina, their presi-
dent-the representative Of freedom,
la~, equa!ii. and the highest pri,i-
leges OF man-ha.' been really SO ruth
!essly slain. So rau>e.ess, so cruel
and so contemplate a crime has sell
dom ever been done among civilized
men.
William Mckinley was sturdy type
OF the American citizen bred Of the
Scotch-lrish stock that has done 50
much and SD we'll for liberty and prog
ress in this new world. He was one
who, without show or Boosting. led
strenuous life. albeit with a spirit
calm and confident. AS he grew in
years and Importance to his country
men he also grew strong in loyalty
ard philoSoph,c in purpose. He in
spire,' greater respect and confidence
tue better he became known and I'M
derstood, an! at the very hour of his
mortal wouna he was entering upon
The rounding period Of career that
promised to become complete in a ma
tioDai affection ami world wide esteem
such as few men Of modern eras have
ever achieved.
How far the sudden and tragic
death Of President Mckinley is to af-
feet The course If the republic Of
which he was the head cannot yet be
estimated. He had but spoken pre-
cepts that are vet in the balance of
public judgment-hc had but enun-
ciated destiny for the nation that
may yet be made. or varied, as polit-
icai and ambitious self-interestS may
dtter,Aine "r may be prevented from
determining. A. to these he yet
lives in his words and tie wisdom Of
them will be tried by time.
Bat iii this first memorial day,
when the people in many parts of the
nation will pause t" devote thought
to his l;fe. praise to his work and
consideration TO his high and patri-
otto purposes, partisanship and sec
tionalism must be silent and absent.
The work of William Mckinley was
largely party work, but the heart OF
OF the man was sincerely American
and honestly affected for the greatest
good to his people. Mistaken in
measures the best of men will often
be, but the honest hearts of seventy
millions of people will make no mis-
take in honoring the memory of
William Mckinley as that Of fellow
citizen, a friend and president who
wished no higher name or fame than
that be served his God and country
with truth, honor and helpfulness.

Asheville Citizen, 10th.
Every precaution was taken yester-
day by the Southern Railway in the
handling of the Presidents train.
Every mile of track between Ashe-
vile and Salisbury, a distance Of 141
miles, was patroled just previous to
the train passing over it; all station
agents were instructed to inspect the
condition Of the track at their respec-
tive stations Immediately before the
arrival of the Presidents train, spe-
cial men were stationed at all block
switches and section forces along the
entire line ordered to patrol the
track.
On the Knoxville division a pilot
engine was sent out but this was
thought unnecessary on the Ashe-
Vile division and every prccaution
had been taken to prevent an acct
dent.
