lie farmers.
It is to be hoped that the farmers
will not over-do in planting
cotton, as a big crop will probably
mean 5 cents cotton next tall. It
should be the mot to of every farmer
to make a plenteous crop of
:fain. If the grain crop is negected
and all cotton planted the
zrain will have to be bought,
rims it is indispensable we should
look well in that direction and
plant largely ol grain and less of

GOOD NEWS FOR LAKE CITY.
An Authentic Report that the Post >fhce
will be Reopened Soon.
Washington. March 1 ? Special.]
Senator McLiurin has received!
the iollowing letter from At torney
General Griggs, which will be ;
interesting reading to the citizens]
of Lake City:
UI have this day advised the ]'
Postmaster General that there is |
no objection on the part of this j
department to the re-establishing j
of a postollice at L ike City, S. C.,
I trust this will be satisfactory to
...
von.
This decision of the Attorney 1
General practically ends the pro- '
traded struggle over the Lake (
City post office and opens the way -1
lor Postmaster General Smith to)'
carry out his original intention of !
teopening the oflice with a lady as]
postmaster. The whole South'1
Carolina delegation has lent a willing
hand to secure relief for the
law-abiding citizens of 1/ikc City,
but Senator McL uirin has been 1
consistent and persistent in his el- ;
torts to have the office re-estab.
I
listed, and the result is paftiou-,
larly gratifying to him. l'ostmas- '
ter General Smith has been in 1
sympathy with Senator McLiurin
in this matter from the very be- 1
ginning, but he was handicapped 1
by adverse reports from his 1
subordinates in the department
of* jus!ice.
Senator McLaurtn to-day secured
the establishment of anew
postoflice at Outwood, with W. C.
Hemingway, postmaster.
Washington, March 3 Special.
Senator McLauriu had a long interview
with Postmaster General
Smith to-day relative to the opening
of the Like City postotfice.
The interview lasted nearly an
liour, during which the subject
was hilly and freely considered.
As a result rostmaster (ieneral
Smith promised that the office
should be opened without delay
and the appointment of Miss
Jones is assured. Postmaster
General Smith reasserted his desire
to remove this office from the '
realm of partisanship and to have j
it conducted in the future as a |
non-partisan office, in the interest .
of the law-abiding people of Lake
Jit v. Senator McLiuriu assured
the Postmaster General that the
appointment of Miss Jones would
be entirely satisfactory to the patrons
o/ the office and lie expressed ^
I lie hope that there would he no 1
further difficulty in the ad mini.-:- :
tration of the L ike City office.
In this connection it is due to
Liepresentatire Norton to say that
lie lias rendered valuable assistance
<n bringing about the solu- .
tion of this problem. Mr. Norton ?
was also at the postoilice depart
inent to day, and has been inform-!
e<l that the case has been disposed i
of substantially in accordance with ] i
the wishes and desires of lite patrons
ot the ollice. Kepresentative
Norton wdl leave here to-morrow
to spend some time in his district,
looking to the establishment of a
rural free delivery, system, in
which he has taken such an active
and effective interest. While at
home ho will look after other in- '
teiests in his district and at the
^inie time look over his political T
fences and see thai they are all in
good order. 11. M. L., in News ;

An Example to His Race.
| r
I?. A. McCullough, one of the'
best colored citizens of Williams- .
burj; county, died at his home near! I
Hreens February 25th, in the 53rd ~
year of his age. He died within i
three miles of where he was born ^
ami raised, and had spent all ol his I
life in ihis neighborhood, where'"
i \
he had gained (he friendship, con- [
lidence and respect of both white j
and colored, and had accumulated j
considerable property for a man ;
of his race. His estate is worth
from $2,000 to $2,500, all of which
lie earned by industry and econo- j
my. lie made his will and divided
his properly among his|^
children. The iviiter knew him It
well, having <ion? more or leso j
business with him for twenty o
vears, and always found him lion- j
est, upright and prompt to pay *?
any aiul all debts he contracted. 4
lie was never known to be in a
m
lawsuit of any kind, always attending
strictly to his own business.
lie belonged to Mr. J. A. J
McCullougb, who taught him good j
iv.An..a? >.. f- ...I..'.!. U~l

i ]
never departed, and which made 1
lor him many friends, f?is life
was constantly an example for the
rising generation of his race. If
they will let their lives be such
as was K. A. McCullough's, we
would have no use for jails and
court nouses, nor would we ever]
hear ol' another colored man being' ^
lynched in South Carolina. He
was a great sufferer for some time (
before lie died, but bore his sufferings
with patience, and told the
writer several times that he was
ready to die, that all was well
with him and his Master, and 11
trust it was.
