THE PRESIDENT.
Lingered for a Week After Fatal
Bullet Hit Him.
BEAUTIFUL DEATH-BED STORY
• Cod's Will. Not Olwb, Be Done,”
Were the President's Last
Words
Buffalo; N. Y.. September 14. —
William McKinrley, president of
the United States, is dead.
The nation awoke this morning
to a realization of its affliction,
stunned and shocked.
His death came painlessly at
2:15.
He died the death of a hero.
There was no sudden ending of
it all.
Death came slowly, like the eve
ning time.
He had no fear. For the suffer
er who has so patiently borne the
hard struggle of the past week, the
bitterness is past.
The aching hearts are left to
those who mourn him.
Just in the sunniest, happiest
hour of all the voyage, while ea
ger winds were kissing every sail,
he dashed against the unseen rock,
and in an instant heard the billows
roar oyer the sunken ship.
It was a tragedy as deep and
dark as can be woven of the warp
and woof of mystery and death.
As his soul reeled for a moment
on the brink before its final disso
lution, there must have come to
him that fleeting period of time
wherein the memory of his long
life cf good deeds and thoughts,
his wife, his children and his
friends, passed before him like the
phantasmia of a dream, and with
that vision in his already death
glazed eyes, he murmured slowly:
“Goodby, all goodby. It’s God's
way, His will, not ours, be done.”
Mrs. McKinley last saw her hus
band between 11 and 12 o’clock.
At that time she sat by the bedside,
holding the hand of her dyi*g hus
band.
The members of the cabinet
were admitted to the sick room
singly at that time.
The president had been uncon
scious over three hours before he
breathed his last.
Mrs. McKinley did not see him
die. She bade him goodby some
time before. The other relatives
were in the room at the time.
These are the words which he
spoke: ‘‘Goodby, all goodby; it is
God’s way. His will, not ours, be
done.”
These were the last connected
sentences that the president spoke.
Now and then for half an hour or
so afterward he would whisper a
few words, at one time repeating
some disconnected sentences from
“Nearer, My God, To Thee.”
DIRECT CAUSE OF DEATH.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 14—The
Bird-Shot
For Tiger.
No use to hunt timers with
O
bird-shot. It doesn't hurt the
tiger any and id* awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. It is stealthy
—but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to go hunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
It still advances. Good heavy
charges of Scott’s Emulsion
will stop the advance. The
disease feels that.
Scott's Emulsion makes the
body strong to resist. It
s(C;thes and toughens the lungs
and sustains the strength until
the cisease wears itself out.

following report of the autopsy
upon the remains of President Mc-
Kinley was issued at 5 o’clock:
“The bullet which struck over
the breastbone did not pass
through the skin and did little
harm. The othet bullet passed
through both walls of the stomach
near its lower border. Both holes
were found to be perfectly closed
by the stitches, but the tissue
around each hole had become gan
grenous.
“After passing through the
stomach the bullet passed into the
back walls of the abdomen, hitting
and tearing the upper end *f the
kidney. Tnis portion of the bullet
track was also gangrenous, the
gangrene involving the pancreas,
“The bullet has not yet been
found. There was no sign of
peritonitis or disease of other or
gans. The heart walls were very
thin.
“There was no evidence of any
attempt at repair on the part of na
ture, and death resulted from the
gangrene which affected the stom
ach around the bullet wounds as
well as the tissues around the fur
ther course of the bullet.
“Death was unavoidable by any
surgical or medical treatment, and
was the direct result of the bullet
wound.”

the south The founder and pres
ident, Prof. Cabell, is a relative of
Mrs. J. H. Vivion, of this city, and
has been a visitor to Cartersville,
from which his institution has
drawn a number of pupils. We
have just seen a letter from the
president wherein he states the at
t -tidance this year is far above
what it has ever been; in fact the

That such sterling educational

their merit is gratifying.
