There is h communication elsewhere
in this paper advocating the
establishment of a roller mill in
Fort Mill. No one doubts the
necessity of such n much-needed
enterprise and there are good bus- 1
inens men who nay it would pay
handsomely. The question is who
is going to build it? In our opinion
the farmers are the people to
do it. The farmers adjacent to
Fort Mill have enough money in
banks and otherwise idle to build
several millH, for there is more idle
money in their hands than in all
the other classes of citizenship '
combined in this community. |
Then a mill built with the fanners'
capital would surely insure their
patronage and its success would
merely be a question of how much
wheat they could raise. And we
guarantee that we would licar lesN
of the ery "hud product.''-.^Upd

interest in the mill.

Presidantal Succession.
Inasmuch as we have heard a
number of inqu'ries as to who
would succeed Roosevelt oh vice ,
president, we publish the following ,
article from the Char otte Observ- j
er, which fully explains the mutter ]
in question;
There will then be no vice president.
Tne president pro tempore
of the senate, who is now Senator
Frye, of Maine, will exercise the
fiinctionsof that ollice. it is often
askedKulso, who becomes president, '
if the vice president, succeeding a ;
president who dies, should himself
die wtiile president? In that ease
the secretary of slate succeeds to
the presidency; after him the sec- |
retary of the treasury, and on j
through the cabinet down to and |
including the secretary of agrie.uli
tare, who would he the last eligible. :
I This system of succession was pro-'
wL vided for by act of congress in
^k rather recent years?in fact, soon
Wk after the death of N ice President
BBS Hendricks, when it was realized
BIB that, in the event of the death of
Bk President Cleveland, there was no
provision of law, either const i tiltional
or statutory, for filling the

Gov. McSweeney's Cpinion o? Soosavelt.
In lli<? press dispatches yester-!
! ilny there was an interview with
' President Rniisevelt iii which ho ;
declared his purpose of being pros- ,
idont i f tlio wli' lo country, know- |
| ing no north, or south, or ea-t. or
west, say8 the Columbia Stale.
When asked last night by a New
Vork newspaper representative a
j bout the effect of this sla'ement !
, politically, (iov. MeSweeney said:
"I think tli etlvet will be decid- :
edly good. It will do good and
will tend to bring the people of the
country closer together, doing aj
way with the bitter sectional partj
snnship that has heretofore exis- j
i ted. This staten nit from the pros;
ident merely strengthens the opin- j
; ion I had forire'd of him, for aside
f mil iiis southern aseentry. he is a
man of such literary and other attainments
that he could not be otherwise
than enterprising, progressive,
broad minded. When 1 was
in New York last during his recrime
im iKivoiimr it struck inn tlnit
lioosevelt whs a brond-ini tided and I
progressive man, and I am not sur- i
prised at the views lie now expresses."

Saltiincro Nec:ccc Y7ant Tillman Esyelhd.
At n largely attended meeting
of colored people in llnltimore,
Md., on the 10th instant, resolu- !
tions were adoiited declaring that
the assassination of President
jNleKiti'ey was "the fruiton of the
seed of tolerance of crimes too abhorrent
and memorable against the
native citizen, as represented by
Parker, the would-be preserver of
,1... Or.. . .r l >.... : .i 'im.
bur int* in Hoi i icMiiciM. j lit*
meeting also referred to Parker as
a representative of "the ejected at
home, the regarded oll'al *.>1 American
society."
The resolutions further any that
"since Senator Benjamin Tillman
is. I?y his own avowals, an abettor
of murder and rapine it is hereby
requested that he lie expelled from
tin* lnite.1 States Senate, that the
lives of our public otlicers be not
further menaced by the monstrosity
of his presence, the perverse
ness of his teael,ings and example." j

Things the President Carried.
A president carries in his pockets
articles which are much the!
same as those carried liy any other
citi'/'Mi. The president's clothes
which were removed at. the exposition
hospital have been sent to the i
Milburn residence, where the pockets
were emptied. In his right
hand trousors pocket was some
$1.80 in currency. With these
coins was a small silver nugget,
well worn, hh if the president had
carried it as a pocket piece for a
long time.
Three small penknives, pearlhandled,
were in the pockets of his
trousers. Evidently they were
gifts that he prized and was in the
habit of enrrvinir all of them An.
other battered coin, presumably h
pocket piece, was in the left hand
pocket.
The president's wallet is well
worn and of black leather, about
four inches by five. It was not
marked with his name. In it whh
Sl."? in bills. A number of cards,
which evidently had rested in the
wallet for some time, were in one (
of the compartments.
In a vest pocket was a silvershell
lend pencil. Three cigars
were found. They were not the
black perfectos which the presi- |
dent 11 k?*M. hut were short ones 1
tlint had been von to him nt Ni 1
ngnra Fulls that (lay. < hi two of
them he had chewed, much as (Jenera
1 Grant used to bite a cigar. i
The president's watch was an open !
faced gold case American-made I
timekeeper. Attached to it was t
the gold chain which the president I
always wore. No letters, telegrams j
or papers were found. There wu- I
not on the president's person a sin- i
gle clew to his identity, unless it <
was ? he found in the cards in his (
wallet, which were not examined. 1
The president's shirt was cut i
where the surgeons had ripped it t
from him in hastily preparing him I
for the operating tabic. 1

i lit Fort Mill township is n roller
mill. We raised this yesr over
10,000 bushels of wheat, and to j
have it ground our people hail to
go from six to sixteen miles; gen- I
ally to Rock Hill, to pay tribute to
the enterprise of tlint place.
Our township uses over 3.000
barrels of Hour, or over J <>.000
bushels of wheat every year. We
could and would raise at least 20,- ;
000, perhaps 30,000 bushels, if wo !
had a mill convenient. If one was
assured many of our farmers would
sow two or three times the amount
of laud in wheat, that otherwise
they would BOW.
