Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, through the death of President McKinley, and by vir tue of his office as Vice-President, has been elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the United Htates Mr. Roosevelt is not 4.'$ years of age?the youngest man ever ele vated 10 the Presidency. Though young he has seen much public service and is well-known as an honest, earnest and patriotic American. We will have more concerning the new President in our next issue. At a conference held in New tYork last Saturday between the officers of the companies of ttie United States Steel Corporation and the Amalgamated Associa tion the great steel strike which began about the first of July was ended. No concessions were made to the strikers. Instead of gaining they lost many mills in which their unions were recog nized before the strike. Full terms of agreement have not yet been made public. The idle mills all started up Monday. Last Saturday as Theodore Roosevelt was about to be sworn in as President of the United States he made the following statement: "In this hour of deep and terrible' national bereave ment, I wish to state thatitahall be my aim to cont inue absolutely unbroken the policy of President McKinley for the peace and pros perity and honor of our beloved country." These are significant words and they had great power towards strengthening the confi dence of the people in the new President. That liis honesty, his sincerity, and his high purposes may equal that of his lamented predecessor is the cry that will find echo in the heart of every true American. Thrice within two score years the head of the American nation has been laid low by an assassin's bullet. First in 1865 the great and good man Lincoln fell at the hands of a cranky actor, Wilkes Ilooth. Again in 1881, Garfield, another good man, met his death at the hands of a disappointed office-seeker, Guiteau. And now for a third time the nation mourns because of the rash deed of an anarchist, Czolgosz. All these men who have died bv the assas sin's bullet have been good men and wise rulers. No other civil ized nation of the earth has had such a record?three rulers assas sinated within less than forty years. It is a serious question and one that causes every man to think. Why is it that this land of the free, this the best gov ernment in the world should so suffer? We have been too free, we have tolerated anarchistic meetings, we have allowed secret organizations of a murderous nature to be formed unmolested, we have allowed too much free dom of the press in criticising those in authority; andaboveall we have opened our doors too wide to the scum of other nations. All these things are a menace to our government and it is time that our national congress devise some means to avert these threat ening conditions. A LESSON t-OJt US. The death of President Mckin ley was sublime ill its sadness. It teaches a lesson not soon to be forgotten. l-'oraweek the mar tyred President lay on a bed of extreme suffering and never ut | tered a word of complaint, lie had been shot down by a man whose opportunity for the horri ble deed presented itself as 1 he President extended his hand to him with a smile. Yet Mr. McKin ley was solicitous that his mur derer should suffer no violence at the hands of an angered jieople. After the President had been shot and preparations were being made for the operation his lips were seen to move and the whis pered words "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done'' were heard as he was losingconsciousness under the influence of the ether. What a lesson of sublime f ith! And a few hours before he died when he realized that theend was near he called for his wife, and with her hand 111 his, he said "Goodbye, all goodbye. It is G oil's way. His will be done." j Then chanting "Nearer my God, | to Thee" he lapsed into a state of unconsciousness to awake in a better world. This most touch ing and pathetic scene will not be forgotten but will touch and in fluence millions in the years to come. It will teach them that j God's way is best, that the only j truly great are they who love God and try to serve Him. Never in the annals of our his tory have the people had such a lesson?William McKinley, the private citizen, the tender and devoted husband, the friend of the people, the great statesman, the wise ruler of the greatest na tion on earth, and the faithful Christian dying a death worthy to be placed with those Christian martyrs of the darkest days in the history of Christianity! Veri ly, he gave his life for his coun try! Though he died at the assas sin's hand, in the midst of a life of usefulness, we feel that he died not in vain, but in his death left a lesson of such great import that its influence will reach into the remotest future. "God works in mysterious ways. His wonders to perform." CzoJgosz, the assassin of Presi dent McKinley, will be put on trial for his life. The country expects a speedy conviction and execution of the scoundrel who has brought such a calamity on this nation. ? In this hour of national be reavement the hearts of the na tion turn towards Mrs. McKinley with the deepest sympathy. The brave woman who for many years has been an invalid, has borne up remarkably well through all these trying hours and every where prayers are ascending to the Father that He may sustain and comfort her in this darkest hour of sorrow. The nation has lost a safe and honest ruler?Mrs. McKinley has lost a tender and affectionate husband whose devo tion to her through a life of in validism is one of the most beau tiful on record. Married. At the residence of A. E. Surles, near Benson, on last Sunday j morning, Sept. loth, 1901. Mr. J. J. Holmes, of Benson, N. C., and Miss Arlena Hudson,of John ston, were happily united in the, holy bonds of matrimony, A. K. Surles, J. P., officiating. A good many of Benson's young people attended the ceremony. After the marriage the bride and groom returned to the groom's brother in-law where a sumptuous dinner j awaited them. After spending a happy afternoon they returned j to Benson, where they intend, making their future home. We bespeak for them a happy and prosjierous future, as the groom is one of Benson's bright and, prosperous young men, and the uride possesses all the charms and beauties that go to make life and home pleasant. A Friend. SEL11A NEWS. Mr. L. I). Debnam, of Clayton, spent Snuday in our town. Mr. W. H. Hare spent Sunday with friends near Clayton. Mr Geo. 1). Vick returned from a trip to Cbapel I till. Wednesday. The repair slioy of the Selnia Manufacturing Co. is doing well. Mt-ssfH. It. 1$. Whitley \ Co. moved into their new brfek store Thursday. Miss Fannie M< Kov, of Man chester, N. C., is visitiug Miss Margaret Ktheredge. Miss Ola Youngblood, ??f the Wilson's Mills section, is visiting Miss Xola Mitchener. Messrs. Itolrert Millard Nowell and C. W. ltiehardson, spent Sun day at their old homes, returning via Clayton. Miss Mattie Gill, of Wake For est, returned to her home Mon day. She has been visiting Miss Margaret Ktheredge. Our people were distressed to hear of the death of President McKinley and look to our excel lent Congressman Ed. W. I'ou to assist in passing such hews as will drive all anarchists from this free land of ours. Run them out root and branch. on last Saturday our raintan was seven tenths of an inch. On Monday it was five tenths of an inch and from Tuesday at 1 o'clock p. ni. till Wednesday night the fall was five and one tenth inches. This is the heaviest rainfall that has been in that length of time since a record has been kept. Dr. W. H. H. Cobb, of Glolds boro was up to see Mr. Thos H. Atkinson last Saturday, in con sultation with Dr. Wade H. At kinson, of Washington, D. 0., who was here with his parents. Dr. Atkinson is looking very well, like his new home agrees with him. He returned to Washington Monday night. There is no doubt about it, Selma is the place to sell cotton. Last Tuesday cotton sold here for 8% cents cash?not on ac count. Other markets may have more regular buyers, but they can't begin to compete with Buck Hudson for high prices. The farmers know that Buck always gives the highest prices and are satisfied with what he offers. The telephone system here is a perfect nuisance. The phone here has not worked for three days. | About two weeks ago the central office was moved to Smithfield and since then the service has tieen miserable: it was bad enough before, but it is a great deal worse now. Our county has given the phone companies avaluablefran I chise in allowing them to use our roads free and they ought to give good service or the right to use the roads revoked. We hope the County Commissioners will look into the matter at their next meeting and see if they cannot be forced to give better service. Lightning struck the kitchen chimney of Mr. D. E. Wallace, who lives about one mile north of here, last Saturday afternoon. No great damage was done, but Mr. Wallace was slightly burnt on the leg and Mrs. Wallace was knocked down. Why Mr. Wal lace was not seriously hurt we cannot see as he was within three feet of the stove at a south door. Mrs. Wallace was in another room at an east door of the kitchen about eight feet from the stove. A ball of fire ran down the stove and out of the east door they say, Put no thunder was heard. There is a small hole in the roof near the stove flue. Bird-Shot For Tigor. No use to hunt tigers with ird-shot. It doesn't hurt the r any and it's awfully risky ' you. v.
