General Assembly Convenes
1.-The Lee County Tangle.

Columbia, Jan. l0.-The general
assembly of South Carolina has begun
it's annua! session. There was noth-
ing of more than usual interest about
the opening day The new members,
clothed in black and that dignity
which always characterizes first ses.
sion men, presented themselves and
were sworn in. The personnel OF
the two bodies was most favorably
commented upon on ali sides
The Lee county contest did not
occupy much time in the senate,
where the county's representative
was seated, subject to the report of
the committee on privileges and
elections ; in the house it did not
come up at all.
In the house most of the day was
taken up with the elections for the
clerical positions.
Speaker Gary was, as expected,
reelected without opposition.
In the way of legislation signifi-
cant resolutions came up at the out
set in both honses providing for the
payment of taxes. Then there were
the resolutions Of Mr.. Bacot TO pre-
sent Victor Blue with ine sword,
and of Mr.. Blease looking to the In.
of public institutions by
business men not holding official
positions.
THE OPENING IN THE SENATE.
The appearance of Lieut.. Gov.
Miles B. McSweeney on the speakers
stand in his purple robe of Office at
noon yesterday was the signal for the
senators to hasten to their seats A
single rap of the gavel was sufficient
to call the chamber to order, and the
legislative session for 1899 had
begun Since the last session the
chaplain, Rev: Mr.. Willoughby. had
died, so the Rev. E L Archer, sena.
tor from Spartanburg, was requested
to meke the opening prayer.
The roll cali showed eight senator's
absent-Talbert of Beaufort, Rags.
dale of Fairfield, Walker of George
town, Scarborough of Horny, Wallace
of Laarens, Livingston of Marlboro,
of Oconee and Bowen Of
Pickens.
As last year was election year
there were number of new senators
to be sworr in.
THE LEE COUNTY SENATOR.
In the second group was Senator
elect R. E Carnes of Lee county,
which few days ago was declared
by the supreme court to have been
unconssitutionally formed As the

recognized and offered the following
resolution pertinent to the question

The decision of the supreme court

The decision of the supreme court
in the Lee county case seems to have
come too late to decide anything and
leaves the question in as great q
tangIe as 1t was before. We do not
know where We are at nor do the
people who reside in the country SET
off for Lee county know whethe,
B they are to-day citizens of Lee coun-
~ or Of Sumter. The supreme court
has said that the law establishing
Lee county is unconstitutional, null
and void, nevertheless the House OF
Representatives, swesrs in and seats
D. E. KeeIs, che representative.elect
from Lee county, and the Senate
takes the question of seating &. h.
Garnes, the eenator-elect from Lee
county, under advisement, and there
iis good reason to believe that he will
be seated. The effect the seating of
the senator and representative elect
ed TO represent Lee county, which,
according to the supreme court, has
no legal right TO existence, will have
IS matter of dispute. and 10 two
lawyers are agreed. One lawyer
5 says the seating of the senator and
representative viii give alegal status
to Lee county Another says the
acts OF the Legislature will be
yisiated, for the Lee county senator
and representative are not legally
entitled 10 vote 10 the Legislature j;
another says that the county will not
be given legal status nor will the
acts Of the Legislature be vitiated
The truth Of the matter no one
seems TO know exactly the status of
Lee county. and it is our opinion
that the supreme court was as much
as sea as the rest of Us We are also
Of the opinion that the supreme con:s
might as well have left Lee county as
IL was. 6 8 decision that decided
something and settled the issue
could not be rendered.
The removal of large numbers Of
negroes from Greenwood county is
attributed to terror resulting from the
Phoenix riots, bat this supposition is
probably not entirely correct, for
negroes are leaving this and other
counties 10 the eastern portion of

have been no riots to ,errify them

up near bushes where Misteh Lamont
dropped that medicine. Then | cry" he
was crying as be spoke, and weakly
swsying back and forth against the pill

what she done to Misteh Lamont. Anil

Lamont's heart in it an bring her this :"
He stretched forth his free hand, and
in it was the skin of an otter sewed into
the shape of sack and decorated with
ermine tails and eagle feathers and bits
of glass and ribbon.
The girl shrank back in terror.
''Take IL ~ he commanded, hosrsely.
But the girl still shrsnk back Yoiceless
and quiyering.
Then the haIf-breed pulled az the open
ing of the bag, and putting in his hand he
dragged forth dark, bloody object and
thrust it toward her.
In the cool beauty Of the night the girl
stood there upon the versnds staring
straight before her with unseeing eyes,
and uttering SHREK upon shrek.
For an instant the Indian watched her
with savage satisfaction, and then with
one spring he was upon his pony, and
striking the beast savage blow, dashed
forward into the darkness, the dogs yelp-
ing wildly after the retreating hoot-
| beats.

zones and swarthy skin, while his French

bones and swarthy skin, while his French
blood cropped out in his light hair and
blue eyes, and the usual air of alertness
about him so different from Indian sto-
lidity.
There was no alertness about him now,
however. He leaned heavily against one
of the posts of the versnda, and Miss
Allyn could make out by the bright
moonlight that his face was deadly pale.
One arm hung limp at his side; on the
other the bride of his pony shifted up
and down. The poor brute looked as ex-
hausted as his rider, and stood with head
hanging down and feet punched.
"What is it z" she asked.
The boy locked at her darkly before
speaking.
"Misteh Lamont send you this" he was
tugging with one hand at some object
fastened to his saddle.
"You done kill Misteh Lamont" he
said, YEARLY and savsgely. There was
CLEAN of wild hate in his eyes as he
looked at Miss Allyn's white face, but he
was too nearly spent for many words. He
spoke between gasps.
"Misteh Lamont 60 to Indians grave
for medicine. Bad Indians fin it out.
Misteh Lamont he laughs and tells every
body he going to get Great Buffslo's medi.
cine-he not afraid" He stopped to
wipe the Precipitation from his forehead.
1t was standing in great drops on his face,
though he shook as if with cold. He
steadied himself against the post.
swell, we got it one dark night an
then we start home. Misteh Lamont he
goes ahead singing soft to himself and
holding medicine-bag. All of a sudden
near Lspierre's we hear five, ak Indians
ridin' after US, hard. 1 think they Great
Buffalo's people-Peigans, yo' know.
Misteh Lamont he drop the medicine-bag
quick in the bushes before the Indians see
it an he hollers, Get out of this, Charlie |!
but course stay with Misteh Lamont
He stopped again and pressed his hand
kerchief, blood-stained and dirty, to his
damp brow. 1--WE shot tive them bad
Indians, and the others they 20
way. But one, he shot Misteh La.
mont, and I get this" he touched his
shattered arm. "When I wake up /

they cut his heart out! The Indians do
that when man is brave like an Indian.

very soon. A month of solitude out of
two would kill me. In week or go l
fear shall feel it my duty to 60 back to
my dear, old, lonely father" and she
laughed again lightly as she went into
the little parlor.
Miss Allyn was writing letter by the
light of the lamp in the Captains little
study leading out of the sitting room.
Her trunks stood packed on the versnds
waiting for the early coach to take them
forty miles to the nearest railway. 1t
was just ten days after Lamont's note
had come and she was answering it be-
fore leaving for the East. AS she wrote
she could hear the low hum of CONVEX
sation between her sister and brother-in-
law in the adjoining room. Their voices
did not disturb her, tho she found her
letter was rather difficult to write. She
could hardly find words to make it suf-
ficiently plain to Lamont that she did
not care for him. and that he had never
had any chance with her. She would
have liked to tell him just how absurd
and presumptuous his conduct had seem
ed to her.
Suddenly the voices in the sitting.
room stopped, and Captain Kenwood got
up and went to the window.
Heavens what can the dogs be max
ing such row about this time of night
Some of those horse-trading Kootenais
must be about"
It was ten o'clock and the three dogs
in the Enclosure were barking as II
whole tribe OF Indians were trying to
force an entrance. just then the orderly
appeared at the door.
TITS the 'alf-breed Charlie, cir J" he ex-
planned, sand e says e as message
for Miss Hallyn."
Mics Allyn looked up from her writing |
and through the open door to where the |
orderly waited near the piano. A sudden
curious sense OF impending evil fell upon
her. She rose slowly. and passed into
the sittipg-room.
ssTell him I will see what he wants. |
Dawson she said.
Outside in the veranda stood the half |
breed. He was tall, rather welI-feat-
ured boy with that look peculiar to mixed /
races. The Indian showed IN high cheek |
