Special to the Journal.
CHARLESTON, S. C., Fell, 22—
A special from Lake City, South
Carolina, to The Evening Post says:
‘•About 1 o'clock tins morning
Postmaster Raker, a negro, and his
child were shot to death and their
bodies cremated. It is said that a
mob numbering several hundred sur
rounded Baker's house, where the
postoffice is kept, set tire to the
building and opened lire with guns
upon it. Raker was killed and his
wife, his two daughters and one son
were seriously wounded.
The woman had a baby in her arms
and she says that the ball that went
through her hand passed through the
baby, killing it, and it fell from her
arms.
Tlie house was afire and the occu
pants who were able ran out, but the
cremated bodies of Baker and the
child were found in the ruins of the
building this morning.
All the wounded are maimed for
fife; the two girls may lose their arms.
All of the mail matter was totally
destroyed.
There is no clue to the com posi
tion of the mob.
Another Big Trust.
The leading manufacturers of pa
per in the United States have found
eil a trust with a capital of $55,
000.000.
This combination will monopolize
the business, raise the price of pa
per to $8,00 per ton, and impose
upon the newspaper and book read
ers of the country, a tax of not less
than $4,000,000 a year.
There are seventeen mills in the
combine and it is their intention to
shut out all other mills, so that they
can compel newspapers to pay the
exorbitant price they demand for
paper.
This is another instance of tl e
baleful effect of the Dingley tariff,
