Friday. September 13, 1901. THE PRESIDENT IMPROVING. Mr. McKinley is rapidly im proving. He took solid food yes- j terday for the first time since he was shot. The Cabinet will meet with the President today. There j is practically no danger now. THE POINT OF VIEW. For a third time in the his tory of our nation, the life of the Chief Fxecutive hangs upon a thread as the result of the assas sin's shot. Attempts have been madeupon the lives of other Pres idents but the close range pistol shots that were inflicted upon Lincoln, (iarfield and McKinley have proved fatal in two cases j and well nigh fatal in the third. The crime of last week was planned in all deliberation and was most deliberately executed. It was dastardly. The would-be assassin was fiendish in the cool ness and heartlessness with which he planned and executed the affair. But other crimes of an even more revolting nature have been committed in this fair land of ours with all the deliberateness that characterized this attempt of Czolgosz. Fair and virtuous women have been made to suffer even more than death, and when their husbands and broth ers and fathers, so insulted and outraged that they took the law in their own hands, summarily put the fiends to death, the northern press, and especially the press of Ohio and New York, the home of McKinley and the scene of the crime, was fierce in its denunciation of these men who had but followed the dic tates of a chivalrous heart. But before the sounds of the shots, aimed at McKinley, had ceased to reverberate in the build ing, the cry arose "Lynch* him. Lynch the assassin." Buffalo, the heart of the Um pire State, a center of northern thought and culture, was thrilled with this cry. It was but natural that they should thus desire to punish a brutal murderer by an ticipating the law. We would j have joined in that cry, had we been there. But our northern friends have demonstrated that we are akin j and that natural impulses of our people are also those of another section. They can no longer criticize southerners for doing! what they counseled. For the person of the Presi dent of our nation is no more to be respected nor protected than that of the southern lady who not long since met dishonor and death at the hands of a negro brute. If the lynching of Czol gosz would have* been justified, and we think it would have been, surely the lynching of this negro was equally justified. At this juncture in the affairs of our govejnment, it would in deed be a national calamity of the most serious nature for Mc kinley to be removed from a par ticipation in and the guidance of the conditions^hat his policy has brought into existence. OUR COTTON MARKET. THREE STRONG BUYERS. Top of the Market Will be Given for Fleecy Staple. THE COTTON MILL TO USE BEST GRADES. No Ettort Will be Spared to Make Smithlield One of Best Markets In the State. Hmithfield has made herself felt this season as a tobacco market. The high prices paid for tobacco has brought it here from almost under the very shadow of other markets. And it continues to come. As a cotton market Smitbfield will be equally strong this season. Our business men are determ ined that our market shall be second to no market in the coun ty. The strongest corps of cot ton buyers ever seen on the streets of Smithtleld will be here this season. Our enterprising townsman, Mr. VV. M. Sanders, is on the market tl^s season and will see to it that every bale of cotton brings its full value. Mr. It. L. Kay, representing McFadden & Bro., of Philadel phia, one of the largest firms of cotton factors and exporters in the United States, will come here Saturday, September 14th, and will be here continuously. He guarantees that every bale of cotton offered on the streets of Smithfield shall bring the top of the market. Mr. Thompson, of the firm of Johnson & Thompson, of Ral eigh, among the largest buyers and shippers of cotton in the State, will be here through the season. He is coming with his weapons of war ready for use, and promises trouble to any man or firm who don't pay highest prices for cotton. In addition to the above named buyers the Smithfield Cotton Mills will use about 30 bales of good middling cotton each week. They are bound to have this cot ton and hope to get it in Smith field. Smithfield has in seasons past enjoyed an enviable reputation as a cotton market and we feel assured that such will be her reputation again this season. FISHING.
