Yesterday evening about 5 o’clock a rumor reached our
streets that the president had been shot. At once the greatest
excitement prevailed, but it was hoped it would prove
to be a mere rumor. The Citizen phoued the Augusta Chron
icle who answered that it was true; that the president had been
twice shot At once a bulletin was posted and placed on the
street at our"front door, that the excited citizens that gathered
might know the truth.
Feelings of the greatest indignation was beard on all sides
| and the foul attempt to assassinaie the president cast a gloom
iover every face. There was exhibited the true respect the peo
ple of the South always have for the head ot the government, and
hatred for the wretched creatures who so cowardly and brutally
attempt to destroy the rule ot the people.
Politically those who read the bulletin had opposed the
president, but outside ot politics Mr. McKinley is universally
popular and respected. The tacts as they came to us over the
wires are given in the following dispatches.

The state house officials are nominated in
that manner; the county officers are nomi
nated in like manner. Every town to say
nothing of the cities of any size in the state
have adopted the white primary. Now why
not. Waynesboro. This is the time for the
matter to be started for it will not be long

lleve every citizen in the city will favor it
and would suggest that the registration be

Tha t’s a dead issue, so
all the big dogs tell us and
what they say must un
doubtedly be true. Still we
can’t help from teeling sad
over the funeral of so val
ued a friend, for from our
earliest memory of money
silver and that only has
been our constant and
faithful companion. Gold,
we have never known per
sonally, but we have read
that Capt.Kidd and his free
rovers had it in piles and
that W all Street keeps it as
an “Open Sesame”, to work
the government bond vault
and that the national treas
ury now and then gets a
surplus on hand for what
use no one knows unless it
is to hold it for the rich.
Greenbacks or Bank
notes ive have used in our
later life to pay debts with.
but the shining, glittering
silver is the thing we have
always used to buy bread,
to purchas our garments
and buy Santa Claus for
our little ones; the only uses
Oj poor man has for money.
What a, death that
was! Then the poor man’s
help and aid died, and for
long years to come as pro ■
ducts become lower and
lower in price and money,
the medium of exchange,
gets higher and higher in
value then we all will look
back on our youthful times
and sciy “what good old
times there were once.”
Silver is dead and
alas ! those who seemed to
love her most while living
are the f?~st to turn their
backs and whisper words
of contempt over her last
resting place.
Here’s to your ashes
dear, departed dead ! and
may those who traitorously
assisted in slaying their
best friend reap the reward
all of the Brutu.
THE CASH CONCERN
in passing the grave must
needs shed a few tears over
