LANE CITY, WILLIAMSBURG CoUH-
TY, Feb. 22.-On the night Of the 10th
inst. the small building just outside
the corporate limits Of Lake City,
which was formerly Il school houss
and which had been converted into =
dwelling and ~postofice, jointly oeeu-
pied by Postmaster II. b. Baker (col-
orcd) and family, was we'll ridalad
with bullets from the guns Of un-
known parties. No harm was done
TO the occupants Of the house.
This failing to prove a sufficient
warning to Baker, was followed This
morning just before | o'clock by an
other attack upon the house by a mob
which shot it IS or a hundred times,
setting fire to the building in the
meantime.
Five Of the children and Baker,
wife escaped death, but al! Bit two
children were wounded by gan shots
and arc MANNED for life.
Baker was shot down just inside Of
the door as he was attempting to come
out Of the building.
An infant baby was shot out Of it's
mother arms as she vas about pass
ing ont Of the door.
Bakers body and that OF the child
were crcmatcd in the flames.
The building and the entire postof-
flee equipment were consumed by the
fire. and tho citizens of Lake City are
without IL postofiicc.
1t is certainly one Of the most hor-
riblc crimes ever committed in the
State.
She of Bakers girls is thought to
be fatally wounded.
The coroner held an inquest over
the dead bodies this afternoon. The
verdict is to be rendered next Satnr-
day.
The feeling in Lake City among the
whites is n Of deep regret at the
horrible deed committed so neartown.
The best citizens deeply dcplorc that
they have been placed in a position to
receive the ccnsurc and bear the dis
grace of the awful tragedy. when it is
not generally believed that citizens of
the town helped to make up the mob,
though as yet the guilty parties are
unsupported.
Feeling is running high among the
negroes and trouble is feared to. night.
as the negroes believe that the crime
was committed by whites.
Frazier Baker was Il black negro,
about 40 years of age, and was APP
pointed and took charge of the Lake
City postoilicc about six months ago.
Tic was Il native of Florence .'n~nty
and had never lived ut Lake CITY un-
til he went there to take charge Of the
postoftice. The people Of lake City
protested against the appointment.
Twice within the last two months the
man has been shot at.--2He STATE.

Wilborn Wishes Wisdom TO Win.

President Wilborn, of the State
Farmers Alliance, who is also cxecu-
tive committeeman of the National
Alliance, and president Of the South
crn Cotton Growers association formed
in Atlanta, is determined to use every
means in his power to induce the
farmers not to dcludc themselves
again this year and plant as much or
more cotton than ever. lie realizes
that the situation is likely to be for
gotten when planting time comes
along and he proposes to have the Al
iianccmcn stand to their colors il they
will.
Mr. Wilborn yesterday issued the
following, which explains how he in
tends to keep the matter before those
whose interest centcrs therein:
l have pledged the Alliance Of
South Carolina to unity Of action in
the matter Of cotton-its production,
sale and marketing. Now, therefore.
in order that the whole matter may be
fully discussed and active measures
may be inauguratcd looking to relief,
the 10Th day Of March. 1888. is here
by selected, named and designated as
Alliance "Rally Day whereby every
sub-Alliancc in the State is requested
to meet at its regular meeting place on
that afternoon, there 10 consider the
cotton situation and other matters
that may pertain tn the good Of the
order.
The officers are urged to be Oh hand
in dine time and are directed to inform
the members Of their respective sub
Alliances Of the Rally Day This
call to apply to every Alliance that
has cvcr been in existence in this
State. The secretaries are requested
to notify me of their action in all mat
ters .hat pertains 10 the good Of the
order.
l would suggest that you make one
of the leading questions for discussion
at this meeting the efforts Of every
South Carolina farmer TO have his
farm sclf-sustaining. IF he does this
the matter of cotton acreage will set
tie itself.
Be not deceived by the small adj
vance in the price of cotton, but at
planting time, with Il crop like the
one just marketed you cannot hope to
get more than > cents a pound for it..
All Alliancemen are earnestly urged
to cooperate with the cotton growers
organization in their efforts in this
matter. j. {. WILBORN,

State Convention 10 lie Heidi in May.

All the politicians have been under
the impression that there would be no
State Democratic convention this year
until September, it not being presi-
Dental year, but an examination of
the constitution Of the Democratic
party Of the State shows that they
have 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 n
surprise to many, for several who were
members Of the convention that met
in May, 1896, which adopted the pres
cnt party constitution, say they have
nc recollection Of the changing Of the
constitution prior to that time so as
to do away altogether with the Sep
TENDER convention.
The present constitution provides
for tho holding of Il convention on the
third Wednesday in May, and for no
other. it also provides for the hold
ing of county conventions in the sew
crai counties in the State on the first
Monday III Nay for the purpose Of
electing delegates to that convention.
OF course the reorganization of the
precinct and ward clubs will take
place prior to that time throughout
the State.
1t is thus seen that State and coun-
ty politics will be stirring much earlier
than any one expected.
When the convention meets there
will doubtless he no end of political
.log-rolling. The convention will have
to elect Il new State executive commit
tee and attend to such other matters
as may come before it. Those who
we're talking of the outlook yesterday
expressed the view that the liquor
referendum plan would be laid before
the convention when il. meets, the
Legislature having declined to take
action in regard to it on the ground
that the proper body to consider it
was the State Democratic convention.
How much Of an issue this will be-
come and the probable action of the
convention in regard to it are purely
matters Of conjecture at this stage

Explosion Came From Underneath.

New YORK, Feb. pa dispatch
to the Herald from Ilabana Y
There is no longer any reason to
doubt hat the explosion which
wrecked the Maine came from under
meath the vessel and that her maya
zines had nothing to do with the mi
tial explosion and played a much
smaller part in the general disaster
than was at first supposed.
The evidence that has served to
convince the board was obtained by

Newberry College Gets $4,000.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2G, 1895


Mr.. EDlroR The people of the
Third Congressional District will be
glad to know that the Trustees Of
Newberry College will soon get from
Congress the sum of $15, 900 for dam
ages done this College building during
the late war.
The Ncwberry College was incorpo-
rated by the State Of South Carolina
on the 10th of December, 1856, and
dedicated as an institution Of learn
ing. 1t was endowed, and the sum of
SIC, 600 vas expended in the compile
ton Of the buildings. In July, 1865,
the building was taken possession Of
by the United States Army, and used
as a barrack until December of that
year. During this occupancy the
building was rendered totally unfit for
use, and in 1877 was rebuilt by the
Trustees at a cost of about $17 600.
In January. 1878. Representative
Aiken called the attention of Con
gress to the damages sustained by the
Trustees, and the matter was referred
tc the Committee OIL War Claims.
Hero the matter rested for fifteen
years, when Representative Latimer
investigated the claim Of the Trustees
and introduced Il bill in the House or
Sept. II, 1893, providing for the pay
ment of $4,000 to the Trustees in
payment of the damages sustained.
The bill passed the Senate, but was
objected tt in the House, although
favorably reported by the Committee.
In the 54th Congress Representative
Latimer introduced the bill and press
ed it for consideration, but it failed Of
passage by a lack of four votes. The
matter vas rcintroduccd early in the
55th Congress, passed the Senate May
II, 1897, and passed the House Feb.
q, 1898, and is now ready for the ap-
proval of the President.
The management Of this claim in
behalf of the Trustees of Ncwberry
College, and its passage in the lower
branch CT Congress is quite a victory
for Representative Latimcr, who has
watched with keencst interest, and
furthcred with Intelligent effort. every
stage Of its progress. 1t must be
remembered that the present House
IL not Democratic, and the work done
for its passage is worthy of
daticn.
In no p5sition in public life does
long service so increase 4 mans infu-
ence as in Congress. The recognition
OF this fact has in many instances
given the North an advantage over
the South by giving their Representa-
tives rank by seniority in both par
ties on committee in Congress, which
control legislation. Southern dclega-
tions in Congress arc now composed
largely Of new members, which makes
it all the more important that the
people should return to the seth Con-
gress those men Of experience who
now represent them.

san FRANCISCO. May lO.--A special
to The Examiner from Victoria, 3. c.,
SAYS: On Monday last the ice covering
a stream in a defle near Crater lake
gave way under the passing throng OF
hlondlkers, and more than q score
Of men were precipitated into the
water and carried to certain death be.
meath the rivers frozen coating.
DR.. J. F. Frizella Of Los Angeles,
who came down on the Al HI, who
brings the news, passed the scene only
a few hours after the calamity occurred.
1t was on the other side Of the summit,
between Linderman and Long lake, at
q point in the canyon some ii miles
above Stone House. where an ice slide
over a mountain stream had been util.
lied as a path for sleds by
the fortune seekers. \ number
Of men were advancing in almost
unbroken rank, each hauling a heavily
laden sled, when at 5 o'clock in the
morning there was a crash. The ice
opened for 30 feet or more and in an
instant ~ men with their supplies We're
whirled down and under the smooth
surface of the stream to drown without
even the chance of battling for life.
The names of the victims of the ice
break Frizella cannot give. There is no
possibility Of identifying them now, he
says, nor can the names be announced
with positiveness until the bodies are
delivered by the stream at the lake, on
the Disappearance Of the ice. Four
Montana and two California men are
thought to have been among the vic.
tins. while the others included an
Eastern party of seven. almost all being
remembered only by the nicknames
which Western freedom had gwen
