STATE CONVENTION 20 BE HELD YN
MAY
Tho September Convention Has Been
Done Away With--Political.. Matters
VIII Soon DO Active
1.-THE State. 23.l

Inc otaC9, 20.
All the politicians have been un.
der the impression that there would
be no State Democratic convention
this year until September, it not
being presidential year, but an OK.
animation of the constitution Of the
Democratic party Of the State shows
that they havo been laboring under
a delusion. The truth of the matter
is that there is going to-. be a May
State convention this year. No
doubt this will be surprise to many,
for several who were members of the
convention that met in May, 1906,
which adopted the present party con-
stitution, say they have no recol-
lection of the changing of tho con-
stitution adopted prior to that time
80 as to do away altogether with tho
September convention.
The present constitution provides
for the holding of q convention on
the third Wednesday in May, and
for no other. 1t also provides for
the holding Of county conventions in
the several counties in the State on
the fist Monday in May for the pur.
pose of electing delegates to that
convention. Of course the reorgan
ization Of the precinct and ward clubs
will take place prior to that time
throughout the State.
1t is thus seen that State and
county politics will be stirring much
earlier than any one expected.
When the convention meets there
will doubtless be no end of political
logroiling. The convention will have
to elect q new State executive com
mittee, and attend to other matters
as may come before it. Those who
were talking of the outlook yester.
day expressed the view that tho H.
quor referendum plan would be laid
before the convention when it meets,
the legislature having declined to
take action in regard to it on the
ground that the proper body to con-
slider 1T was the State Democratic
| convention. How much of an issue
this will become and the probable
action Of the convention in regard to
it are purely matters OF Soonjecture
at this stage.

(Rcgistor,)

the most horrible deeds that has over
taken place in civilized community
occurred at Lake City, this county,
last night. Tho negro postmaster
and his infant daughtor wo.o killed
and thor bodies burned, and his
wifo and three other children, two
of the latter grown, wore horribly
shot.
Tho affair is undoubtedly ono Of
the most horrible that over was por-
petrated in South Carolina.
Frazier B. Baker, n black negro,
was appointed postmaster ut Luko
City by President Mckinley last
August. He was at that t;mo res
ident of Floronoo county, but moved
to Lake City to take charge of tho
Office
Shortly afterwards he was shot
and slightly wounded. Some time
later his assistant was shot but not
seriously hurt
In January the postof1ico with its
contents was burned. A fow weoks
ago the negro established tho
office in rudo hut about q milo
from town.
One night last weok q mob at
tackled the building and several
shots woro fired into it, but Bakor
held on to his job and tho noxt day
spoke in braggadocia manner
about not being scared, and said that
he would have to be killed to ret
ont of the postoffico.
Tho tragedy last night is the
sequel.
THE TRAGEDY.
Baker lived with his family, con
sisting Of wife, three daughters
and one son, in the rear Of the rude
hut used also as tho postoffico.
The coronor's inquest today
brought out the following facts:
Bakers wife was aroused about
l o'clock this morning by some un
accountable sounds. Upon arising
she discovered that the house was
on fire and Immediately awakened
her husband
Just as she did 80, there was Ii
volley of rife shots fired upon the
building and the bullets camo cloa,
through the walls and made things
hot for the occupants.
BY this timo tho entire household
was aroused and effort, wore made
to check tho flames. All this time
the firing outside was kept up,
when tho man saw that there was
no chance to check tho fro. He
! told his family to follow him and he
rushed to the front door Of the house.
Just as he opened tho door ho was
shot down.
Instantly tho woman, tho three
| girls and tho boy wero shot. A ball
passed through the baby who was in
the mothers arms and struck the wo-
mans arm, breaking it.
The little fellow was dead and the
mothers fractured limb could nc
longer support it, 40 it foil.
The dead father fell upon the
dead body Of the child.
Those of tho household who were
still able to walk ran from the burn
ing building right into tho faces OF
the assassins.
The mob quickly dispersed.
This morning tho oharred re,
mains Of the postmaster and the
body were found and examinations
by physloians showed that tho wo
man was shot in tho loft arm and ir
the right thigh.
The oldest girl was shot through
the left elbow and may lose hcl
arm.
The boy was shot through tho
abdomen and through tho right arm
He and tho oldest daughter ma,
die.
Mono of tho family recognized an,
one in the mob. II is said that SOW

says:

valuable paper of the 9th ult in regard to the gal

Matthew Schaudecker in and around Harpers

to remark, it demonstrates the wide and far
reaching circulation which your valuable paper pos
sesses 1t is waste of time, energy and printers

the soldiery qualities of Slonewal Jackson-espe-

Stonewali was military genius. We all know and
recognize that he had few equals either side OF the

take "a day off, he find abundant proof in the
War Department at Washington to verify all my
statements.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, would like to say one
word for the magnificent patriotism displayed by
our Jewish citizens note with great pleasure and
pride that many of them have already answered
their countrys call, and l know they will carve for
themselves imperishable memories in our newly ac
