M'SWEENY TAKES OATH
AS Governor Of South Carolina.
Funeral Of Governor
Ellerbe.

At 11:15 o'clock Saturday night in
the parlor Of Wrights hotel, in Co
lumbia, S G., M. B. insolvency was
administered the oath Of the Office of
governor of South Carolina The oath
was administered by Chief Justice
McIver and Associate Justices Pope
and Gary.
Governor insolvency said only q
few words. He fully realized the re-
sponsibilities of the Office, and he was
going to be the governor of the whole
of South Carolina; that was his aim.
He sincerely regretted the death Of
Governor Ellerbe and most heartily
sympathized with his family. He
had been urged, he said, to come to
Columbia weeks ago and assume the
duties of governor, but he had not
done so, knowing that it was the wish
of Governor Ellerbe to die while actual
governor of the state.
At the conclusion of his remarks the
state officers present, in turn, assured
the governor that he would have their
hearty cooperation.
L. H. Ault, editor Of The News and
Herald, of Newberry, S. g., and pres
ident Of the South Carolina Press AS
ISOLATION, has been appointed Gov
ernor McSweeney's private secretary.
Governor Ellerbe's funeral occurred
at Marion Saturday afternoon and was
attended by all the prominent state
officials.
The services, which were very sim
pie, were. performed by Rev. J. q.
Beard, Methodist preacher. There
was no eulogy. There were probably
300 people present, chiefly neighbors
of the governor. The interrment took
place in the little family burying
ground in a secluded grove.
During the day the statehouse, court
house and dispensaries in Columbif
were closed. It was the first time il
the history of the state a governor haC
died in Office.

An interesting side issue of the in
transitional differences centring in
Samoa is the known but futile ambi-
tion of Germany to secure possession
of Che Tonga or Friendly Islands,
which are small but numerous, and
lie some $50 miles southwest of the
samoan group. Germany's threat to
annex these islands furnishes circum-
stantial evidence of her desire to out
wit Great Britain and the United
States at Apia; but the promptness Of
British action, in sending a cruiser and
reaching thorough understanding
with the king, appears to have settled
German schemes. The natives of the
Friendly Islands, being Christians
and dominated by missionary influence,
are much more readily dealt with
than are the Samoans.
