The Leaders Are Not Going to Run Any
Risks by Forcing Vote.


Washington, Jan. 18-Chairman Davis
of the committee on foreign relations is
credited with the statement that vote
on the Hawaiian annexation treaty will
not be reached for month. The friends
of the measure are eager for a vote but
the leaders are holding them IN restraint
until the sixty votes necessary for ratlfl-

admission of weakness on the part of the
annexionists and many claim that the
votes necessary can't be mustered. The

rT HAS INJURED BUSINESS.
The Lake Civ Affair Said to Have Hurt
Values.

To show to what extent the re
cent outrage at Lake City has hurt
the community at large, We will
give a synopsis OF a conversation
we had with prominent business
man of Kingstree few days ago.
"Speaking of the occurrence at
Lake City," said the gentleman
$ let me tell you some Of the ef-
fects that it has already had upon
our country; For some months
there has been going on between
a prominent Kingstree lawyer and
wealthy parties at the north cor
respondence relative TO the pur-
chase of several large tracts Of
land in this and Georgetown coun-
ties by the nor herners referred to.
The moneyed men we're, to use a
trite phrase, wild to close the trade.
They..intended buying up an enor
nous amount of land down here
and improve il and speculate. The
lawyer has received several letters
urging him to close The contracts
for the property, and to let the
spectators know when to come
here to take charge of their pur-
chases. Several telegrams passed
between the northerners aud their
attorney, the men being IN such a
hurry to gain possession OF the
land. The trade with me for tract
of land that own was abou. COM
pleted, as were several other
trades of like nature, when this
Lake City affair occurred.
"Well, 10 make a long story
short, the attorney received a lie,
ter day before yesterday from the
northerners saving that after read
ing an account of the horrible af-
fair at Lake City, they did not
care to own any property in this
section at all, AMI instructing him
to call off all options that had be- n
formerly offered.
"This will give you some idea OF
the enormity of the offense com
mitted against the innocent pub
lie by the Lake City mob. Not
only did they commit one of the
most horrible crimes that the State
has ever known against the State
and moral laws, but their offence
to business is almost irreparable." "

peddlers near Salters iu April last,
He will be held until some of the

after buying provisions opened fire
on the clerk with Winchester rifles
and pistols. In the scrimmage
the negroes dropped a small book
which contained their names, and
told of their recent deeds. The book
was evidently the property Of T b
Davis. 1t was generally believed
around Salters that the murderer'
of the Italians were the same mer
who had committed so many out
RACES in the small town near Sal

RELIEF FOR THE BAKERS.
A RESOLUTION TO PAY THE Wlo'

Representative White. Of North Caroli-

ton in Congress.

WV w
Representative Geo. 81. White
has introduced the following reso-
luton in the lower house of Con-
gress:
Whereas, on or about Feb. 81 100
or more armed men fred upon and
killed the postmaster at Lake City,
S. c., killing one Of the family and
wounding several others and burn
ing all they had: and
Whereas, the said family Is now
suffering even for means for medl-
cal treatment and for other neces-
saries of life; therefore be it
Resolved, by the senate and house,
That the sum of 81, 400 is hereby ap-
propriated and made Immediately
available for the relief Of the said
family.
Congressman White is the only
negro in the present house, and it
was very appropriate that he
should offer the resolution looking
to the reliet of the family of Lake
City's late postmaster. The res
olution was referred to the usual
committee, and will no doubt be-
come a law pretty soon.
