Baby Inherits Fortune.

Baby Inherits Fortune.
A Columbia dispatch says: A tele-
gram received from Chicago announces
that Mrs. Mitchell, wife of DR.. Mitchell
of that city, had given birth to girl
baby. Ordinarily this would be OF no
special interest as matter of news,
but the circumstances of this case
render it decidedly interesting bit of
news. 1t dashes the hopes that an
in "even half dozen" persons in
Spartanburg county may have had of
inheriting quite comfortable fortune
for this part of the country.
To begin with, Mrs. Mitchell is the
daughter of the late Mr.! F. NJ. Trim
mier, who for years was clerk OF court
for Spartanburg county. At his death
he bequeathed to her his property, an
estate involving $4,000 at least. In
case of her marriage and an issue
springing therefrom, this large amount
of property would be hers, and then
at her death go to her child or chill
dren. If she died without issue it
would revert to six persons, nieces
and nephe rs of the late Captain Frank
TRIMMER, one of whom, Mr.. T. r.
TRIMMER, is administrator of the
estate. The daughter of the late Mr..
TRIMMER, Miss Minnie TRIMMER,
about three years ago married DR..
Mitchell, of Chicago, ILL.,, and they
have been residing in Chicago for
some time past. So this newly born
girl will be the heiress to nearly $780,
900 worth of property in Spar anburg
county.
Date For Democratic Convention.
The state Democratic executive COM
mittee met in Columbia the past week
and the meeting was the most remark
able in many years for its own event
fulness and the fact that not a single
political issue was raised. There vas
not the semblance of political dis
cussion, and sublime harmony pre-
vailed. There was no wire pulling
going on inside or outside the room,
and no one talked of the possibilities
of the coming campaign. It was real
" difficult to believe that it was a
gathering of political party managers.
The question OF doing away with the
ampaign by counties did not come up;
practically all the committeeman con-
sidered that this is matter for the
coming state convention and no one
suggested it.
The few formal resolutions looking
to the reorganization of the Demo
cratic party were adopted, the mem
bers drew their pay, and the prelimin-
ary by-play to the opening Of the po-
litical circus of 1900 ended abruptly.
After making an address to the
meeting, Colonel Jones announced
that according to requirements they
had met to call the state convention.
The convention was called to meet
Nav 10th, and the following circular
letter has been sent out:
In pursuance of the constitution OF
the Democratic party the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee, at meet
ing held on April II, 1900, by reso'
| luton, directs that you call the Dem
ocratic clubs of your county to meet
on the fourth Saturday in April, 1900,
to elect delegates to the county con
vention, which meets on the first
Monday in May next, to elect delegates

which meets on the third Wednesday
in May next, to elect delegates to the
National Convention; and for such
other purposes as the constitution dl
rects and the welfare of the party re-
quires.
Every club is entitled to one dele
