Mr. Editor: The inauguration
of the new governor took place
yesterday. Your correspondent
was unable to attend, so cannot
giye you an original description
of it. The ceremony was said
to have been very impressive.
After the oath had been administered
by Chief Justice Y. J.
Pope, the newly elected governor
road his inaugural address. Then
Lieutenant Governor T. G. McLeod
was inaugurated. The new
officers are:

Ansel succeeds tlie Honorable
DuncanClinch Hey ward. Lieutenant
Governor Thomas G. Mc
Leod succeeds Col. J no. T. Sloan.
J. Fraser Lyon, Lsq, is the new
Attorney General. He succeeds
Mr. Duncan C. Kay, who has
acted in that capacity for only
short time, having been appointed
to fill out the unexpired term
of the late Col. LeRoy F. Youmans.
Secretary of State Jesse
T. Gantt turns the duties over to
Mr. R. M. McCown. Col. John
C. Boyd was able to take the
oath of Adjutant and Inspector
General, Lut still he is not
well. He could not walk alone,
but he is now Adjutant General.
Comptroller A. W. Jones sue
ceeds himself. Mr. A. B. Martin
was one of the State Officers
who was elected or re-elected
^ "on flowerv beds of ease". Mr.
Martin whb unopposed in the
recent primary. He is beginning
his third term, having de
feated Mr. John J. McMahan six
years ago, since then being re
elected twice without opposition.
(J apt. K 11. Jennings, who has
possibly the most responsible of
all the offices, has never had opposition.
This is his third or
fourth term as state treasurer.
In his last letter this correspondent
unintentionally omitted
from his list ot Lancastrians
in Columba the name of Mrs.
J. N. Spann. There are also
others here whom I cannot either
remember or whom I do not
know. Mr. C. N. Hutchinson,
who instructed the Lancaster
Orchestra for awhile, is also here
He is the teacher of the Olympia
Mill Band, a very fine musical
organization.
A doubly singular "thing"
happened recently to two of
Lancaster's young people, who
are at'ending one of the colleges
in our city. We shall not say
which college they aie attending
or of which sex they are. Last
Saturday someone nave these
young students an equal amount
^ of "substance." It was in two
pieces of currency. Before
t hey had gone far one discovered
that his or her money was gone,
T AM
A Jl? 1
LEDGER 1852
KLY. LANC
j the other felt for hi9 or hers and
found it gone also. They were
"teased" about losing money at
the fame time. But, Mr. Editor,
there is another side to this
tale. Sundav morning they were
walking along b.- the skyscrsper
and one of the ''Williams" was
found. The other was found
at Wrights hotel. They missed
their money at the "Skyscraper"
and was given them at Wright's.
I declare the above to be a true
story. So you see, Mr. Editor,
Columbians are honestThe
new tourist hotel, "the
Colonia," opened last night. The
annual dinner of the chamber of
commerce was given in this beautiful
palace.
Col. H. G. Mcllwain, former
ly of Lancaster, now of the Metroplis,
Rock Hill, was on our
streets Tuesday.
Col. J. E. Norment, private
secretary of our distinguished
Ex-Governor, will engage in the
life insurance business. Col.
Norment has made a very competent
private secretary. Mr.
A. J. Beatha of Darlington is
Governor Ansel's private secretary.
In addition to being President
of the new bank, Governor
Heyward is president of a large
warehouse. Col. Norment was
from Darlington, a newspaper
man, as is Mr. Beatha.
A prominent gentleman from
a prominent section of the State
w?u uere me omer day and had
occasion to auy something about
CaptJno. P. Hunter nd added
the clause, "who is cue of the
best Sheriffs in the State." The
gentleman to whom he was talking
said : "Yes he is." This is
not only their opinion but that
of the whole State.
Yes, Mr. Editor, 1 am quite
sure that that Legislative poet is
either Mr.Jones or Mr.Robinson,
but which one is it? If The News
and Courier would give us the
poetry possibly we could tell
which one it is.
Well, we will not weary your
readers any longer.
