/ ' ' t'i c II Mill !Hlis THE APPOINTMENT OF CAPT. MELTON, A "LILY WHITE." * The Wa^alk in The Capital City? ^fcvernor Filerbe's *?Y Plans. . ? o]ut*ibia, S. C. March 19th,? ^ The \vh^?s'ate has been interested in the Ij^Bkntment of Lawson D Melton as Unite ' Slates Marshall. Mr. Melton is a represen^ r tative oT the faction ?hat has tried so long to make Republicanism, less of an offense to the white men of the state, and which has been ! 1 i termed the "li'y white*' faction | as opposed to the "black and j tan,''or the old limers-vihe relics! ' of 187ti. Heretofore the president ha? ignored the "lily whites" in j his distribution of patronage and that faction was likely to slarve to death. The faithful were just about to stampede back to the Democratic party, which with all its strictness is so big as to bej good natured and disposed to for- j give and forget. JSo these erring! tons ot Carolina were about to put j on sackcloth and ashes and sit,j someofihem have actually sat j betore the doors of the house upon which they had turned their back. Had they been readmitted there is no doubt but that the sackcloth and ashes would have'soon been discarded and they would have been asking lor the purple ro^es office and demanding that the fat^ t ted calf's be killed for their return.! This appointment made and?! present change?stock in the "Lily While" faction is begining to mount up and the faint?tyearted are taking strength and scattering back to their tents beyoAd i the outer wall, How much the; Lake City affair has had to do wit h J, this appointment no one can pos-jl itively say, but it is thought that i [the administration is beginning to! ^ realize that'he South is a white man's country as well as the ; North, and that politics is unwhcle ' ? some for negroes in this section. Al all events we may expect to see the "Lily White" ranks tilling up with some of the dissatisfied politicians from the Democratic ranks, which are really so large that every man can't be a colonel or a major, and some have to car ry the guns.and knapsacks of the high privates. The Republicans promise to make it lively for us in the next election. There reaJlv is % no telling what fun there is ahead, but there certainly will be a large and varied assortment of sports in the political arena in the coming summer. The war talk continues to be of ' an exciting natur, but so far it has not visibly affected business and the extension of improvements' and enterprises along the coast.; It looks like every body is ready ! to fight, and ev-ry body is fully j confident of the strength and abil- ( ityofthe Federal goverment to > amply protect its coast line. There j is, howeuer, little probability of a war. The war spirit in Spain is ^?fot surprising for the people of the old j world cannot realize the imtnens-: ity of the United States or its pow j er. The people of Spain especially are ignorant and have an idea that they are the greatest people on tlie earth. They know notkiug except what the govennenfc-permits. them to learn, but later indications j seem to be to the effect that a slight *glimmer of the truth is; dawmng'unun the goverment ofj Spain and there is a great deal less of blunder than formerly Spain is really about two thirds the size; of Texas, has a population ol about i 18,000,000,*n^ can only prepare ^ itself for further war through liberaLcontributions of rich and patriotic citizens, of whom there are many eager to help the goverttffcnt,j both at home 'and abroad. \et with all her combined resources; Spain cannot raise so much mon-j ey as the business men of Massachusetts, New York. Pensylvania, T New Jersey and Ohio. Assecre-' tary Herbert has expressed it,< one fight might settle the question.; The people of the United Slates have always been ready for war- j and the goverment has always opposed it untill yielding to popular pressure the nation has asserted J her rights by declaring war. Governor Ellerbe has said that! he is ready to conlmand the South! Carolina troops in the event of war, but the chances are that he will not be called <>n to expose his; person to display patriotism. It is J not at all unlikely that the im?! probability of war has prompted j many brave soldiers to oiler the J nation ther services, while many j others are really itching for a fidit, and it does look like people have to go to war overv generation or two to work off their accumalated steam.

I v [Continued from first page] was anyone present who knew any thing about the killing before the jury retired No one replied and j the jury then retired and found jj the following verdict, after the us- | ual legal form: j j "That the said Frazier B Baker j came to his death 011 the night of Feb. 21, 1S98, in?rn gunshot wounds fired by parties unknown ( to the jury." The same verdict was brought in the case of the little infant. There was a great deal of in- j ferest manifested throughout the inquest and everybody is g ad: ?n <t it i< l:^ over. There was !! a shadow over the entire community until the verdict was rt-n- ] dereil, but that now effectually removes any suspicion as to the people of Lake City having had anything at all to do with the killing. The coroner's jury was altogether , an unusually intelligent one and j 1 the members thereof made every (1 effort to ferret out the mystery. Had there been the slightest clue i as to who prepetrated the deed it ( would have been followed up to ! the end.
