A SHOCKING DEED. The dastardly attempt on the Ijf'e of President McKiuley at Bulialo last Fiiday excited a thrill of indignation and horror throughout ^ the nation. Irrespective of sec-; lion or political difference the; whole country joins in sympathy j lor the kindly, genial man laid , Ju\v by the bu.Het of aa assassin. | The administration ol President i McKi..lev lias been a peculiarly " i trying one in many respects, and, yet bv the liberality and broad-j minded patiiolii-m he has shown in the discharge ol his duties as. head ol the nation he succeeded j in gaining the respect, il not the: esteem, of many who differ as; widely as possible with his political views. Much of President JIcKinlty's onmilnritv is the Soutli is due to JTwf ? his conspicuous policy ol reconciliation and a desire to heal the breach which has lor more than thirty years has divided the North and the South. In bringing about j a better let-ling and understand-! lag between the divided country! / be ins succeeded be\ond any ol1 hjs predecessors, and it would be, sad indeed it his life should now; be cufrshoit, COUSTENAY FOR GOVERNOR. The friends of lion. Wm, A. j Courtenay are urging him to en-; i -.--1 IL'L' Hie lace JU1 ?U\Ul UvVi. v-ajj!., Courtenay is best known to the! people of*the State as Mayor of: Charleston. for several terms he tilled that important office as one i of the best officials Charleston ever i j had, Of recent years Capt. Cour-! tenay has lived at Nevvry, in Oco- ! i nee county, where he is president of a couon mill. A man of broad intelligence,, exceptional business capacity and unquestioned der.iPe.'a-y, Mr. Courtenay, il he' consents to eater the race, will, make a strong candidate, and j should be be elected, will bring to! Jsear upon llie ailans oi the Slate, the same sound judgment and executive ability that made his administration a, mayor ol Charleston so eminently successful. There are lew men in South Carolina with the loyal devotion and disinterested patriotism of Capt. Courteuav. An llluslraj* \ * a _ i ' (ion of these qualities is his work j as chairman of the Timrod Memorial Association. In this position I ! the burden ot rescuing from ob\ scurify the name and fame of the , poet Timrod fell almost wholly upon him. It was entirely a labor of love, and yet amidst difficulties) and discouragements that would j have daunted a less determined j spirit, he performed the duty he j had undertaken so well that to! day the poet's works, which were out of print, are restored tocircution and a handsome monument j erected (o his memory in tlie city J ot Charleston. In this, as well as I many other philanthropic acts: never heralded before the public, j Capt. Courtenay's only reward is his consciousness of duty well performed. One of the brightest and breeziest exchanges that com-is to this t office is the Georgetown Outlook, | which under the management of Mr, J. Walter Doar continues to grow better every issue. In last week's issue Mr. Doar says: 4 The | Outlook's death was predicted six j month after it was born, but it is | good for a number of years yet | and is here to stav." It would i I certainly indicate a strange lack j of appreciation on the part of' Georgetown's people to allow such j a newspaper as the Outlook to go : down. Thev shoulu rather give their undivided encouragement ' and support. The wide-awake i merchants especially?we know; Georgetown has them?ought to,! ouch one of them, patronize its advertising columns lor the sake of the paper which promotes t he ; prosperity of the city and indi- : rectly helps every business enter-1 prise in it. Long live the Out-' ln/\l? I As a corollary !o the shooting of the president it may bej remarked that the time has: I come when the custom of indis-j criminate hand-shaking by public j men should be discontinued. It j fs a senseless aud unnecessary | practice at best, not only placing; I a niau at tiie mercy of murderous I cranks, but exposing him to all; I .sorts of contagious diseases withj which some of the hand-shakers j may be infected. However dem-j ocratic it may seem tor the ciiief; executive to shake hands with all classes and conditions of people, when it gives an opportunity to | thugs and assassins to carry out their deadly plots it is time tor public men, even at the risk of being considered proud and ex-, elusive, to be more careful withi whom they come in personal con-j tact. * * * Again, from the confession oj i Czoleocz, the would be assassin, I it appears that he was excited U>; the foui deed by the writings ofI Emma Goldman. By act of con-| gress, if necessary, such writings | i should be suppressed, it per-, i.icious literature can so inflame t weak-minded persons as to nerve j them to murder it is high time to . ; take some steps in this direction, j * * * Uuder the law as it stands it I / r' ' . _ r I seems (hat an assault committed f upon tho president of the United States is simple assault and batterv,' so that in case President Mclvinley should recover, as it now seems probable, Czolgogz would jret olF with a comparatively li^ht sentence. It has already been suggested, that an act be passed making it high treason punishable by death to attempt the life of the president and the matter will no doubt be taken up at the next session ofcongress. SAMPSON'S INDISPOSITION. The press despatches announce Admiral Sampson as being in a very precarious state of health. In fact, it is said that his case is almost hopeless. His sickness is to a great extent attributed to the worry attendant upon the Sump-] son-Scblev controversy, and bis friends claim that he is slowly dying of a broken heart. We are not inclined to take much stock in the traditional ''broken heart," which method of j exit from this vale of tears is extremely rare outside of the imagination of romance writers'. But supposing that such maladies were as common as malarial fevers, what has happened to cause in Sampson such a disorder? lie has taken to himself the entire credit of the victory at Santiago; as weli as the cash in the way ot prize} money, lie figures on t tie medals ! mnlerrtd lor meritorious conduct j He has received the reward in the; way of promotion. Not content j with this he has sought through j Historian M'OIay to blacken the j name of Schley by branding him traitor and caitiff. This seems to be glory enough lo satisfy a man : of moderate ambition. Yet one tiling he lacks, nearly \ all of which has been bestowed j upon his deopised rival ? the plaudits of the American people. This may account for his melancholy condition; or it is some remorse of conscience for the way Schley has been treatei? As the lime draws nigh lor the court ol inquiry Sampson grows steadily \voi>e. lie will not, it is said, bej able to come before that tribunal j even as a witness. Is this an; earnest ot the vindication of Admiral Wintiehl S..Schley, the hero of the battle of Santiago? CADET E. O. REGISTER. Will Represent Williamsburg County at the Citadel for Four Years.
