The ns me of Willi tun McKinley is more widely and deeply loved to-day when he is dead, than it ever was before when he was living Beside.- 'the deen sympathy and the inten-e Indignation aroused by the dastardly and inhuman cutting olT of his life by the vile hand of the assassin—besides all the sacred regard that helm ge I to his person as the chief reprtscuta tive of a mighty nation, as the inrper sonation of law and order—besides the love and admiration bestowed upon him as the leader of a great and triumphant party and by thousands not of his praty, as a fur-minded generous-hearted Christian tnai — besides and beyond all these consider ations, the whole nation was drawn to him during the few days that he lingered after he was stricken down. »nd had revelations made$tu it. whieti under other circumstances, it w'a> possible to make only to a'Qlirnitecl number of friends The numerous bulletins that were sent out regularly, brought the peopU- into close and tender relations with the dying president, and the nation feels almost as if it had stood for five days and nights at his beside. It now understands bis great in fluence over his friends, and the wonderful charms of his personality, for these emanating from his dying bed have been felt from one side of the continent to the other. He died like a man and a hero No sturdy old Ruman ever met death more calmly and bravely; no Chris tian martyr cvt r died more peacefully and resignedly; not even Charles th Second surpassed h m in his dying moments in exhibiting the delicate graces and the lofty qualities of| a high and noble character. "Good-bye to you all; it is God's way ; His will be done ’’ These words uttered with departing breath from the lowly couch of death to a few weeping friends will reash the hearts of thous ands and millions of people to whom the profoundest State paper or the roost eloquent oration of William McKinley as president, would have appealed in vain. But more tender and true and beautiful than these, was the faint smile that for a moment lighted up the dying features as the wife of bis bosom entered the chamber of death. Here the imagi nation enroacbes on forbidden .ground and thoughts arise too sacred and holy to be babbled by profane lips or to be written by an uncon secrated pen. To the nation at large the life of the poor, {degraded, deluded wretch who fired the fatal bullets will be but a pitiable travesty on. justice and compensation. To Mr. McKinley himself, no compensation can be made, and none needs to be made. He^bad worn the highest honors that his country could be&tow upon him ; he had reached the loftiest heights of earthly ambition and there was noth- ingbeyond to provoke desire or to swuKen fond and delusive hopes. Rounded, perfected, ended, and Finis .written on the scroll of life! This life has no more to promise and this world no more to give. Oil In Cherokttu County. The Columbia State, of the l!l r h. has an announcement of oil and coal being discovered at Lake City, in bor ing a well, at the depth of 65 feet; coal supposed to be anthracite. The writer thinks it likely in this marl formation a pocket of asphaltum ha> been pierced and likely an oil cavity the result of asphaltum near-by. 8 »me years ago I had some exper ience in discovering a small pocket asphaltum near Goldsboro. X. C. It wa- 97 per cent, pure and looked much like anthracite coal. A simple test of heat will make asphaltum m»lt and run before ignition. Well defined brown coal, lignite or shales seams can be met with in cuts on Inn- of railroad from Columbia to Sumter east of Wateree river The same ap pears on Savannah river at, or near Silver Bluff. Borings here might de ▼elop oil, but the well man at Lake City has hit asphaltum, which if in 1 trge quantities, is worth more than coal. An ioflamabte oil substance exud-sin wet weather from a spot near Broad river in Cherokee county, and certain dark limestone indicates the pPS'-r.ce of oil. Deep borings may develop oil and even coal more likely in Cherokee than in Williams burg. I L Mlas.leMMle Kiitertalus.
