High Position of Honor in Inaugural Hst Reen Accorded Them. Washington, February 26.-The inau guration of President Roosevelt next Saturday will mark the most auspioious step forward tho negro race has taken in ill its ancient history. Prominent no E;roeB from all parts of the oountry will participate in the exercises alongside the most prominent white men in the ooun try, and, in fact, the whole program has been arranged at the Prosidout's own iuggestion, so that tho inauguration will be as much tho negro's event as it will ho the whito man's, lt will, therefore, transpiro that tho most important event. In tho routine life of the greatest nation in earth, at n timo when tho civilization >f mankind has reached its highest, cli max, will bring forward and uplift to the very highest position tho raoe that lias been tho lowliest through all tho past ages. Tho most important position in tho pa rade, which is the real event of tho en tiro exercises, will bo given to a negro regiment of tho regular army. The Ninth .av.ih y will head tho wholo procession, .nd hehiud these dusky troopers will march the civic' and military organiza tions composing tho balance of the pa rado. This position of honor has boen iocorded the Ninth cavalry at tho I'rosi lient's suggestion. Ile was doubtless moved to this by the memory of the Sau luau battlefield, upon which tho negro Ninth played such a conspicuous part and indood made possible tho elevation of Roosevelt to the bighost office in tho land. It is a fact not to be overlooked that had it not been for the Ninth .avail y some other man than Theodore Koosovolt might bo tho principal figure u tho inauguration exercises next Satur lay. For this reason perhaps ! here has hoon no oriticism lodged against the issignmont of the negro troopers to the ?lace of honor in tho parado. The regi ment will be transported all tho way from Fort Riioy, Kansas, to participate n the ovont. The next roost conspicuous part tho logro will play in the parado has icen assigned to Judson Lyons, tho regis ter of tho treasury. Ho is from Georgia, ind bas rendered suoh sigual service to be Republican administrations of Mc Kinley and Roosevelt that ho was tsked to hoad the division of negro .ivie organizations in the parade. N KO HO KS AT 1 ll K DAXIi. Various high schools of the Easteru sities have sent word that they will have jogro boys in their ranks to represent the progress the negro has made along ..dueational lines. A New Jersey city bas decided to send but one representa tivo for ber high school, and he is a negro. Negroes will, of oourso, be present at ttlO inaugural ball in numbers. Dozens >f tickets have already boen sold to thom, and they havo boou visiting the iry goods stores boro for days in order to make the boat possible nppoarance in i es i icc t to dress. There is no social dis tinctions in the inaugural ball, and the negro will bo accorded full honors thoro alongside tho white mau. AU in all, it will bo a groat ovont in negro history and tho leading mombors nf tho raco aro looking forward to it as tho most important milostouo on the mystic course they havo hoon following duce civilization first cast its cloak about them.

Prominent Citizen ot Seneca Passet Away. He will be Greatly Missed. Jesse Wales Stribling died at his resi dence in Seneca on Monday, February 27tb. 1005, at 5 o'clock a. m., after a Uugeriug illness, in tho 67th year of his age. Me was boru io Oooneo county, South Carolina, on tho 28th day ot April, 1838. His father, David S. Stribliug, was a native of this oouuty and rt sided at Fair Play for many years, where he did business. From there he moved to Texas and died several years ago. His mother. Joanna Stribliug, is still liv ing, and rosides near Cranbury, Texas. I He leaves two brothers and three sisters surviving-Major Wm. J. Stribliug, of Walhalla, Jamos H. Stribliug, Mrs. Mary Cleveland, Nancy Stribliug and Lucie Tnndv. of Cranbury, Texas. He was twice married. On November 9th, I1-" ho was happily married to M?SB Sarah Elizabeth .Shelor, a daughter of tho Imo Thomas It. and Susan A. Shelor. She died on the lHth of August, 1888. One sou, Thomas Edward, and two daughters, Emma aud Anna, wer.) born of this marriage. Tho two former sur vive bim. Anna intermarried with Thomas M. Lowery and died about five years ago, leaving three children. On September 18, 1880, he married Mrs. Sarah C. Cherry, who survives. He also leaves a large circle of relatives and a host of friends, to whom he was doeply attached. No man who ovor lived iu Oooneo county oould count a larger host of friends. To the members of his im mediato household, and to tho children, brothers and sisters and many kinsmen the sincere sympathy of many friends iu this aud other States is extended. Mr. Stribling bogan his long and use- ? ful business lifo as a clerk in the st ore of his father at Fair Play, in this county. In tho year 186S ho was elected as Clerk of Court for Oooneo county, boing tho | ronni y's Hist clerk, and ./as re-elected for i hive succeeding terms, making six teen years of continuous service to his county. His .administration os Clork of Court was distinguished for prompt, . faithful and elticiunt disoharge of duty. Hu was, indeed, a model officer, always allai.le and accommodating, as well as ' consideran- and conscientious in what- ; ever ho said or did. As tho first (Merk of Ocouee county he planted a high stand ard of oxcollence from every point of view. Verily, in tho Clerk's office, his works do follow him. After sixteen years of continuons service he vol un* tarily retired and devoted his attention to business affairs, where tho samo cour tesy,- kindness aud consideration wore manifested. In tho year 1885 ho removed to Seifoca and organized tho Seneca Hank, of which he was oleotcd cashier, whioh position he hold until two mouths ago, when, on ac count of failing health, he tendered his resignation, which was accoptod with I regret, and he was elected ns vice prcsi- '< dent. For nearly twenty years ho dis charged the responsible duties of cashier of this hank with conspicuous ability, and at all times enjoyed the confidence of his associates and tho public at largo in tho highest measure. Ho was not only i ajiid in the dispatch of business, but he was also a mond of neat ness and accuracy. His montai grasp of business problems was quick and comprehensive. Ilia namo was ever the synonym of honesty and honorable dealing. In busi ness and commercial circles Iiis loss will be sorely felt, and his place in those rela tions in Goonoo county cannot ho sup plied. Especially will his towu fool his loss. From his boyhood ho wan doeply im bued with a religious spirit. In early life he united with the Baptist church, and remained an carnes' and consistent member. Ho was a loado * spirit iu the work of his church in Coonee, promi nent in the councils of the Heavordam Baptist Associatinu in advocating the spread of the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the world. Ho gave liberally of his means to his church and spent muoh of bis time and energy in supporting the cause of Christ. Ile served many years as deacon of tho Walhalla and Seneca churches, and was for years Sunday school superintendent. Hu was for more thau twenty years treasurer of tho Boaverdam Association and was for most of this time chairman of the execu tive committee of the Fork and Heavor dam Associations. Mr. Stribling was a tower of strength in tho Baptist church of this oouuty and the State, and his de votion and Christian character wero po tent for good. His placo in the church and county will bo hard to fill. His death is a distinct loss to tho Baptist church and will long be felt. On Tuesday aftornoon, at 8.80 o'clock, the funeral sorvicos were conducted in the Seneca Baptist church by his pastor, Kev. C. Wardlaw, assisted by Revs. J. K. Pace, of Atlanta, and M. H. Kirkpatrick, of Seneca, and attended by a largo con courso of sorrowing friends. His body was laid to rest in Wostv'ow comotory at Seneca beside the remains of his first wife. Nows hom Reedy Fork.
