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.

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.
