vannah Ners: Before the war Beaufort
was the summer residence Of the plan-
ters of the adjoining sea islands. AT
the fall of Port Royal in 1861 the town
was abandoned by its inhabitants to the
mercy of the invading foe. Shortly
after this the United States Govern
men. levied ''direct tax act" upon all
the States, and the property of the in~
habitants was sold under its operations,
which was, in fact, nothing more than
a virtual confiscation. The whole town
of Beaufort and parish OF St. Helena
were put Up and sold at public outcry
While the rightful owners of the land
and houses were away serving in the

could not be present at the sale, and

BARNS BURNED. On Monday last,
two barns belonging to Mr.. John S.
French. who lives on Mound Prai-
rie, about seven miles south of Te-
nino. were burned with all their
contents. Mr.. French and his men
were in the hay field and left their
vests hung up in one of the barns,
and the children finding some
matches in them made fire in the
barn, burning it up and setting
another barn two hundred yards off
on fire, and also burned that down.
The house was very near the first
barn, but the wind blew the flames
away and towards the other barn.
There was fifteen tons Of hay, har-
ness, wagon bodies and farming tools
destroyed, besides fences, etc. The
loss is probably seven or eight hum
dred dollars, and a serious one to

Victims Of sensationalism.

That in u single month at least
fifteen boys have run away from
comfortable homes in different
parts Of the country to seek
adventures is Il pretty serious
fact. That nearly all these boys
have prefaced their fight by
robbing their parents is very
serious fact. Yet these are only
the first fruits from the evil
seed that is being scattered daily
and weekly all over the country
in flashy dime novels and flash
ier illustrated story papers.
The three Brooklyn lads who
ran away while ago, one of
them stealing 1925 from his
father, had had their heads
turned by these publications.
So had the four hopeful Illinois
lads, the oldest not seventeen,
who, in q letter left for their
parents, announced that they
had gone to Kansas to "scalp
Indians so had the two Iowa
boys who stole away down the
river in skif, perhaps with
the purpose of rivaling or sur
passing the exploits of the "Boy
Pirate;'' so had the interesting
Oconomowac youth, aged four
teen, who stole enough money
to buy four revolvers, and then
left his pleasant Wisconsin
home to become a Texas Ran
GER These are only average
sample cases, not the worst by
any means. In several recent
instances, pricked on by an am
bition to equal the brilliant teats
of the "Boy Burglar" school
children hardly in their teens
have set up as housebrcakers;
in at least one instance, at st.
Louis, they have turned their
attention to highway robbery.
We repeat, this is a serious con-
dition Of things; and it Is be-
coming. more serious all the
while, because the infection of
these poisonous publications is
steadily spreading. 1t is high
time for parents to be inquiring
whether there is not some etfec-
tual means of checking it.-N!

sight for the visitor, for in the
buildings erected for the pur-
pose may be seen dead persons
waiting the lapse of three days
required by law before burial.
None Of the gloom of the grave
surrounds these remains, but
they are attired in everyday
costumes and placed IN careless

fresh flowers. To the hand of
each is attached a wire leading
to a spring bell, so that an
