In pursuance of a proclamation of P^f-sident Roosevelt, union memorial a rv'ict-a w-re held in the Pr* sbvter- ian church in this city yesterday morning The plains of hu-inens wcr« closed for t u.. hour ot service *n i a largo congregation, without re gard to religious creed or political sentiment, gathered to do honor to the memory of the dead President, The choir, compo^d of 'alent from the diir r nr, churches, rendered such appropriate h: tuns as ‘ As leep in Jo-ms, ’’Lt-ad vKindly lognt.” and 'Nearer My liod, to Thee.” On account of sica- ne-s. Rev. VV. R Potter, pastor of toe church, was unable to attend. Appropriate scripture selections were r^ad by Rev. W. H Hodgt-s, of tlie BufordS ; reet Me;hodist clinreh, and he was followed by R-v. Arch C.Crte in a touching piayer for the grief- crushed wt ;ow and for the new Pres ide..t of the nation. Mr Hodges, in an address, spoke very feelingly ot President McKinley as a man. a- a Christian, as a triend. He denounced anarchy in unmistak able terms, and asked the question “Who is responsible for the death of i W T m. McKinley?” The people an- j swer, “Czolgosz.” Then the ques tion, "Who is responsible lor « zo!- gosz ar,d t nose o. h s class, and for the spirit who h animates them.’ T * which the answer is variously a'iv.-h, ‘ Low class immigration, ’ "Yellow journalism,” “P-trtis«n- smp ” Yes, out who is responsible for these? he asked, thus throwing at least the responsibility od the American people. Mr Hodges con cluded with the plea that we learn the lesson of the great life so an for tunately closed, and a so the lesson taught bv such a sad end being possi ble in our country—or, by such a high-handed act as that perpetrated by Czoigo-z neing possible in this great (and of ours. Mr Hodges was followed by Prof. R. O Sams in an el quent tribute to William McKinley as one os the best president-' w have ever had. Col. Butler also made some elo quent and v<*ry appropriate remarks— all in praise of the dead President and in reverence of his memory. A mass in- ei.ing of tne citizens of (iatlney was held in theCracU-d school building Monday'. N H. Little] ihn was called to the chair. The follow ing resolutions, a copy of which was sent to The State, Greenville News, Gaffney Ledger Mrs. McKinley, Sec. of State at Washington, and to our members of congress, were read and adopted : WhereHs, on the (Jth day of Sep tember, 1901. at Buffalo, in tbe State of New York, while holding a public reception. William McKinley, the President of these United States of America, was shot down at the hand of a‘cowardly assassin and since that time has died from the effects of the wounds received on that day. and Whereas, in the death of Prer-ident McKinley the country has lost a con scientious and patriotic citizen ana Coief Magistrate and a high type of a Christian gentleman and scholar, and the country has been smitten as nardly before—a gentleman who num bered his friends by the bos s among his own party, as well asjamong those who held different political views, and tbe South lost a president who was magnanimous to her people, and Whereas, we feel that an individual as well as a national calamity nas b> • fallen thiscountr ., «nd while we do bow to God’s will, for His will, not ours, be done ” we deeoly d< plop i t nis nr.o t brazen un-xpected traged.-, ; therefore be it Resoiveii l't. That we, the citi j z.-ns of Gaffney, S C , in mass meet- ( ing assembled, express and tender to j the grief atrickeu wife our deepest 1 sympathy and condolence and mourn with hep and the people everywhere in the loss of such a great and good tIJMO. 2nd. That we do in unmeasured terms d- nou ce ih fienriieb*a-<»a*sin and anarchy in every form, and cal upon Congress to pass the most s'rii - gent laws to protect this country fr m such brutal forms of citizenship a* teach and inculcate such lawlessness d-d. That it is the duty of ail g< od citizens t > uphold the hands of the successor of William McKinley, Theodore R 'oseveit, in properly en forcing all the laws for thw benefit of society Hiid good government. R- marks were made by a number of leading citizens condemning “yel low j .urnaliem,” and cour.selling the purification .if the press and urging Congress to fak* some immediate ‘•t. - 'o wipe anarchism and mi a-co- if'e and their baleful publications from this 'air land of America I.

A Scrapper, A Vat-rant Hint a ‘‘Ulsorder'y” (loinpose the Docket In the mayor’s court yesterday morning one Fannie Turner, a colored woman, was up for disorderly con duct. After investigation and the taking of the testimony of four wit nesses it was found that she was guil- , ty of the charge and a fine of two- ' fifty or ten days was imposed upon her. She paid the money. Bud Lockhart, a typical colored sport, of the class that is usually “di-ad broke.” but with plenty of gall and no principle to back him at d obtain for him the ‘best that is g >- ing,” is now doing twenty-seven days’ time on the gang in consequence of i his having let his angry pa-sions get the upper hand of his better judgment. It seems that Bud’s opponent in a 1 game of pool “heat him out,” which wo enraged Bud that he proceeded to take his spite out on one Sol Camp, another colored spott whose favorite occupation is "loafing around” pool rooms and other places of a like nature. Bud accused Sol of influenc- f ing the game against him. in some j inconceivable manner, arm straight way began to emphasize his accusa tion with a billiard cue. .Sol’s head proved a tough proposition to “em pha?ize” and the cue was shattered. Owing to Bud’s inability to pay ten dollars for his “rucus” he was assign ed to the street-working department of the city for twenty-seven days. Sol Camp was in lU'Ui fined five dollars for vagrancy, and being unable to pay. he was sent up for thirty doys. This was a good act on the pirr of Ma. or jLittlejohn, and a le* more like it would give some oth ers something to do who do not seem to be ‘‘troubled - ’ in that respect now—who-e only occupation seems to be to parade the streets and block, up the str -et cor--* r«o •lohii Kobingmi's Shown.
