1t was Il beautiful day. All nature
smiled bcningly upon the good old
state Of South Carolina, and the adj
ministration of Martin Frederick An
sci waS started auspiciously. All ma
; ture was peaceful and in the bosoms
OF men there was no strife.
AS the legislative clocks announced
the hour Of high noon yesterday, the
procession was formed and the inau-
guration ceremonies were begun
There was no wild enthusiasm. Merely
a quiet, placid feeling Of satisfaction
among all good citizens that--though
the man of their choice might not have
been electcd-the affairs of the state
will be in good hands.
1t was an impressive scene. There
was the retiring governor, man
young in years, but ripe in wisdom,
with a career of which any man, of
today or of the past, might be proud !;
there was the broadshouldcred, kind
ly gentleman who is about to take up
the burden of state. There are the
officials of the supreme court in their
stately robes, and there the officers
or the State, those whose terms have
expired and those who are approac,i-
ing the threshold of official cares and
worries. And the proceedings are di-
rected by the officers of the general
assembly III their gowns Of royal pur-
pie.
The galleries were crowded with in
! tcrcstcd spectators. On the floor of
the house were seated the legislators
and 4 space was reserved for the fam
lies of tue governor and the COVER
| norelcct.
Every attention and every courtesy
had been shown Gov. Anscl and his
family and the executive mansion had
been made ready for their arrival.
There was Il hush over the entire
assembly as The scrgcant-at-arm an
nounccd "thc governor and governor
elect and their escort" and the pro-
ccssion came slowly up the aisles OF
the house headed by the sergeant-at-
arms Of the senate. The following was
