THE LAKE CITY POSTOFFiCE.
Good Chance of its Being Reopened
Before Long.

Good Chance OF ITS BENG heope"eo
Before Long.
Washington, Dec. .2S-Speclal-
The matter of the reopening of the
Lake City postoffice is again ex
citing some discussion. Congress
man Norton, in whose district the
office is located. has worked hard
to get the Postoffice Department
to consent 20 the reopening of the
office, and few months ago 1t
looked as if his efforts might be
successful. 1t was even SAID at
the time that the Postoffice De-
partment was considering the
matter of the appointment OF the
postmaster at the office, but moth
ing came of it. Mr.. Norton is sslill
working for the granting of the
mail facilities 10 the people OF
The town. 1t is thought TO be
doubtful, however, if anything can
be done in the matter for the
present. AS tar as can be learn
, d here the matter is now out of
the hands of the Postoffice De-
parlment IN a measure, and is IN
the hands of the Attorney Gen
erals office. This is because of
the fact that the indictments pre-
senled against certain citizens CT
Lake City ior the killing OF Post
master Baker and child, are still
pending, and The Department of
Justice fears that the reopening
of the Office might interfere with
the bringing of the alleged guilty
parties TO justice. The Congress-
man from the district has had fire.
quent talks with the President
and the Postmaster General re-
garding the matter. and they seem
to be willing to open the office
provided the Attorney General
does not object.

THURSDAY, JANUARY a, 1900.
a SENSELESS SCREECH.

We are entirely in accord with
the refusal to re-establish the post
office at Lake City, in Williams
burg county. A negro was appoint
ed postmaster there, which was a
criminal blunder. Nevertheless,
many southern c0mmuni ] have
had negro postmasters forced upon
Them and have submitted to the in
Fiction. If some enraged citizen
of Lake City had walked out in
broad daylight and killed the Of
Tending Official it would have been
bad enough. As it was, the mans
house was set afire at night and he
and his wife and children were shot
down by concealed asssasins as
thew ran out. When no attempt
was made to punish this crime by
process of law, the entire communi-
ty showed its sympathy with the
criminals by combining to protect
them. The government says to
Lake City: HYou have undertaken
to force the government by incend-
iarism and murder to conduct the
Dostoffice at your town according
To YOUR wishes. Therefore you
shall have no postoffice." That is
right. 1t is rather cheeky for peo-
ple who have murdered govern
nent official and his baby in q
peculiarly cold blooded and horri-
5le way TO complain because an
other official is not sent to be mLr-
dered, or because the government
declines for them the purpose they
ostensibly had in committing the
murder.-Greepville News.
The foregoing screech from the
Greenville News is one of several
gibes by that newspaper at the
unfortunate town of Lake City, in
reference TO its postoffice troubles.
TO one who has read the News ed
itorials of late the mean spirit OF
the above extract is by no means
surprising. for they have contain
ed the strangest doctorine ever
advanced by a white editor in the
State of South Carolina. Posing
as the only democratic daily in
the State Our misguided contem
porarY seems completely satura
ted with McKinleyism, Imperial
ism and every other ism upheld
by the republican party. In
voicing its sentiments it has de-
generated into a common scold,
blindly striking at everything moi
in accord with its, own erratic no
tionS.
When the whole State is in
sympathy with a town deprived
of its rights by a despotic govern
ment simply because it has the
power to thus oppress, the atti-
tude OF the News is a slap in the
face to its native State; and (Which
Heaven forblGY If influential
newspapers pursued its course our
most sacred institutions would be
imperiled.
The News admits that the. ap-
pointment of the negro postmas-
Ter was a criminal blunder. ItI
denounces his murder as an our
agas. And the government COM

The Red Cross and the Indian

rings for the former. and four for
the latter. The promised and ex-
pected speaker, from your city,
Mr.. H. w. Wilson, having failed
to appear, no attempt at oratory
were made by others, so that very
important part of the programme
had to be dispensed with. We

fear of the crowd and boiling the

are said to have been stolen from their
hiding place under their owners bed.

man he suspected last night, and as soon
as he had done so his intended captive
lit out for other scenes. She scrambled
