The President Said to be
Greatly Disturbed.
Washington, March 1.-The atten?
tion, of the cabinet was engaged to a
great extent at to day's. meeting with
the recent morder of the colored post?
master, and bia infant ohiid at Lake
City, S. C., by a mob of a hundred or
so white men. It was remarked by a
member of the cabinet af er the dose of
the meeting that this most heinous
crime had been passed by almost un-j
noticed by the public in the excitement
caused by the wreck of the Maine, and
that thoughtful men might profitably
.giTe a share of their attention to this
great wrong committed by our own
people.
Another outrage oo a Republican
postmaster, wbiob wa* considered, oe j
curred at Ada, Ga. Freeman, the post*
master at the latter place, was assaasi
ottsd before be enterad on the dis?
charge of his duties as postmaster
The President, ie is said, is very
much disturbed by th ?se act?, though
he views with satisfaction the fact that
the whole southern press bas expressed
irs indignation. The first impulse of
the officials io oases like those cited, it
is said, it to ?abolish the office where
the. outrage ooourred, although it is
realized that such a step would de
prive large numbers of ( citizens who
have nothing to do s-Ub the killing,
of their postal facilities The Presi?
dent, therefore, finds it difficult to lay
down any rigid rule that could be ap?
plied in all cases The office at Lake
City has been abolished, but so far
nothing has been done regarding the
case at Ada. The lather presents some
unusual features. Freeman bad been
appointed postmaster, but not having
assumed his duties, was not ao officer i
of tbe government. Unofficial reports
which have reached the department are
not clear as to the precise cause for his
assassination Coe is that he waa kill?
ed because he bad been appointed, and
another is that his death was the result
of a quarrel S The department, how
ever, will make ao inquiry into the
facts and be guided in its future course
by what this ioquiry develops

SAMSO?FS BIDDLE.
The Southern people thought they
were undone when the fifteenth
amendment waa declared adopted,
and some of the imm?diate results
weat far to justify fheir alarm But
the mills of the gode, that grind
slowly, grind also exceeding fine ;
and io the measuring of the grist it is
found that the South bas gained
mor? than she by the adoption of the
fifteenth amendment, lt is Samson's
riddle in a new setting.
Admitting all the evils resulting
from that ameodmopt, it is mot to
be denied, nevertheless, it hah been
the means of giving, to tbe South a
political strength that this section
would not have enjoyed otherwise'
It has increased tbe repr?sentation
of the Southern states in'congress
aod has thus enabled thia section to
co operate most powerfully with the
friends bf good government in other
parts of tbe Union.
But the fifteenth amendment did
great damage to the whole country
It has retarded the progress nf the
negroes for rot re tban a generation
by teaching them to depend on poli?
tics rather than on individual effort.
It bas aroused race prejudices where
none existed before. It was the
means of exasperating the whites to
such sn extent that tbe thooghless
aod reckless sought to wreak ven?
geance on hapless blacks -Atlanta

He replied that it would never do. as

The Shooting in Spartanburg.
Special to tbe State.
Spartan barg, March 2 -Oar whole
city is mourning to-day over tbe most
tragical event that hss occurred, within
ber borders io maoy a day. Yesterday
morning two friends were joking to
g ether, apparently as intimate as two
men could be. Before mid-evening one
was slain by the other without a mo?
menta's warning. The testimony at
che coroner's inquest, which is given
below, states all tbat is yet known io
regard to the terrible deed.
W. I. Gray, sworn, says: "I live at
Glendale, Spartanburg county. I was
at T J. Trimmier'* book store when
ths difficulty took place, Maroo 1st,
1898 I eotered Mr. Trimmier's store
at about 20 mioutes of 3 o'olock in the
afternoon for the purpose of paying a
bill for prioting matter which I owed
Mr. Trimmier. Having settled the ac
count I then proposed for the arrange?
ment of some additional work-print
?og;. He replied. Please step back
here with me sod we will fix it sp.'
He then led the way to tbs small office
in ubo rear end of the store. He select?
ed % blank letter bead and begao to write
to my dictation. I stood facing him
and partly with back to the entrance
to the enclosure. I saw * young man
eotsr the onolosure, pass, by me and
thea enter the prioting room. A mo?
ment later I saw another gentleman
enter and pass by. I supposed he was
going to. the printing room also and
paid no attention to him. The next
instant I caught a glimpse of the mos
zle of a pistol io close raoge of my left
cheek. Then came a flash and report.
Tbi iking the shot was fired at myself
I Bwncg back, and as I did-sn the man
stepped forward to the place I bad oe
oupied and fired two more shots in
quick suocessioo. Mr Trimmier step?
ped backward", dropped his hands to bis
side and bent slightly forward. The
man then said, 'I will teach you better
than to speak insultingly of my wife '
He then turned and left, the offise en
clostnre and passed to the front of the
store. I then beard bim say 'Keep
away fromme, Scrap, 1 don't want to
burt you ' Then I heard another shot
fired. As the mao turned to leave the
office enclosure Mr. T. J Trimmier
walked ? forward after bim. As be
passed me I heard bim say, 'What is
the matter with you V As he reached
the cntraooe of |be enclosure be fell
forward opon his knees and elbows Io
that position he remained until I, with
the assistance of another gentleman,
raised him up and placed bim in a
chair >
*'l do opt think Mr. Trimmer no
ticed ;be entrance of this man, because
be did not raise hts head until after the
first fi bot bad. been fired.
J W. McA.bee, sworn, says: "I
was ntaoding at the monument. * i
turned, to go to the bonk store aod ?aw
Dr Bivio gs coming out at the door.
After be left the sidewalk I met bim
with ii. pistol in each hand He paid
'MoAbee, I surrender ; no darn man
shalt insult my wife and live ' [ said
'Doctor, what i* the matter ?' he said.
1 have shot T. J. three times.' I then
went vrith him to the telegraph office
As he went down he saw -Mr. Robert
son, tbe operator. He 'said to Mr.
Robertson, * You koow what caused
this.' Mr Robertson made no reply.
Io going to tbe guard house he said to
me, 'MoAbee, yon cr any other good
game coan would have done what I did
under !.he same condition " He said
oo mao could say toast over beer about
bis wife 99
Other testimony as to j>r. Biviogs'
talk and actions before the shooting
gave no clearer explanation of the
cause of his actions. The following is
the verdict of the jury of inquest :
We, tbe jurors assembled io the cape
of tbe State vs the dead body of T. J.

Pomaria. March 3.-"The bottom
baa been knocked'* oat of Pomaria,
and the war in Cuba is placed in the
background for the time being. It
is well known the most daring rob
beries, wanton burning of buildings
have been going on here for several
years and little attention seems to
have been given it, as ali thought it
was a band of "heme raised Jesse
James," and none cared to strike for
fear of being struck back So bold
and daring had this become that good
white men saw parties drive in the
place in the bright moon light or
early dawn, rob and leave without
even reporting the matter or names,
however well were the parties known,
for fear of bodily injury or secret
hurt
First, E R. flipp'? store was burn?
ed, robbed first it was thought. Then
the railroad'depot was forcibly enter
ed, and wagon loads taken, theo
Seizer ?cilo 's store robbed ef seve?
ral hundred dollars' worth
Then again the Southern railroad
At this time detectives - came, se?
cured a large lot of the stolen prop
erty, bot by a pernicious practice and
methods of the railroad, "better com
pr^mr and get money than to pun?
ic. . culprit,'' the matter was bush
ed. auhough some of the "best citi?
zens," or so supposed, were impli?
cated
' Then came the bun?:-?g of Col.
Holloway's gin house ana other build?
ings
Theo the fast, by wbich it is hoped
the parties are trapped and broken
op, was that two weeks ago D.
Hipp's large store of plantation, sup?
plies was robbed. Mr. Hipp Hay ap
parently quiet, but a detective, in the
guise of a ' picture enlarger,*' came
upoo the sceoe. He found a wagon
load aod two boggy loads of the
stolen goods in the boose of Mr A
F Riser, a former clerk ; also in the
baro 40 kegs of blasting powder be
longing to the railroad TM? was in
a bouse near the railroad built for
that purpose. The house was burn?
ed, and, it was supposed, the pow
der, too, until its finding. Mr Riser
lived with his father, a most estima?
ble citizen abd a strict chorcb mem?
ber ; a well-to-do farmer. Goods of
a smsU nature were found in other
booses of men of good repute So
far, the authorities have arrested A
F Riser and brother, a Mr Bickley
aod several negroes, one the renown?
ed "blind tiger" and "dispensary en?
emy," Villio8 Baker. There ie no
particle of doubt that there are a
large number interested, and what is
BO astonisbrog, so much so, as to
borer, ou disbelief, is that some of
the most well-to do farmers, men of
families aod strict church members,
somej even of wealth, are thought to
be implicated aod should any one
"peach" on bis pals, then, in that
case, I can only say "the end is not
yet." The question the good people
are asking each other is : "Whither
are we drifting," when some of oui
best men are turning robbers and fire

who woo ld, if they could, forget the
existence of Valeriano Weyler, that tbe
crimen of this man in Coba elioted de
oonoiatory oomrueot from President
McKinley io the latter's m?a*age to

called that Weyler objeated strenuous?
ly to being thus piliored, and protested
vigorously to the Queen Regent that
the Spanish Government should de?
mand an explanation of the President's
course. Naturally nothing eame of the
matter, bot publie curiosity ooneerning
the text of the Weyler pretest was
never gratified
Now c unca the allegri text, by way
