Denmark DOingS.

DENMARK, April 2.-The most inter
esting happening in the social circle dur
ing the past week was starlight picnic
gotten up by the young men OF the town
as special entertainment for the young
ladies and gloomy bachelors. The pleas
ure grounds were on the banks OF the
Edisto, although merry-making seems to
have been in order on the way to and
from the river A delightful supper was
served consisting of an abundance OF tlsfl
and delicacies of many kinds, after which
music was rendered by number of ladies
and gentlemen. The wind was blowing
cold, making the night rather disagree
able, but the entire party reports having
had very pleasant time.
Mr.. NJ. |. krawchek has disposed OF his
stock of merchandise at this place, and
will in the course of few weeks open
up bottling works in the town of New
berry. The friends of Mr. Krawchek re,
yret to see him leave. His stay at this
place has been the means of pleasant as
sociation, and all will bid him goodbye
with the hope that he will return often
II. B. Daniels, colored, will very likely
receive the appointment of census emu
mcrator for FiShpond township, of this
county Daniels was postmaster at this
place about six years ago, and is said tC
have made most excellent officer. Hi:
work as enumerator will probably receive
a like commendation from his superior
officers.
Rev. Paul F. kister occupied the pul
pit at the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing. A large congregation greeted the
great soldier of Christ and listened very
attcntivelv to a well delivered sermon
Mr.. Kistlcr is living monument OF the
past history of the church to which lit
belongs. He is old and feeble, but ht
can preach 4 better sermon to-day than
the great majority of ministers in the
South Carolina Conference.
Denmark is we'll situated and will very
likely have added to its busy marts OF
trade before the close of the year large
wholesale grocery store.
Farmers have finished planting corn
and have begun to put in cotton.
Mrs. Marie Cole, who has been visiting
her father, Mr.. H. G. Rice, returned to

Senator Tillman is out in a letter which
seems to oppose the county-to-county can
vass by candidates for State offices. He
will no doubt have the endorsement OF
many politicians in this, as a canvass OF
the State is very expensive. We don't
care much one way or the other, but we
rather incline to the opinion that the peo-
pie will demand to meet the various can
didates face to face on the stump, and
the plan of having campaign meet
ings in each county is likely to be in op
Grafton for some time TO come. We might
as well return to the convention plan o!
nominating if there are to be no public

NOTE Is FINALLY SIGNED.
Last Obstacle to the Picking Agreements
Is Removed,

Peking Dec. 24.-The last obstacle hav.
ing been removed. the joint note was
signed Saturday by all the foreign minis
tiers, including the envoy from the Meth
erlands, who arrived only recently. The
note will be delivered to Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, the Chinese phnipot-
entiaries as soon as the former shall have
sufficiently recovered from his indisposi-
ton. The Chinese close to Ii Hung
Chang still prefer to believe, despite the
signing of the note, which they did not
believe would take place, that the princi-
pal negotiations must be carried on in
Europe or America. They resent the Brit
ish modification of the note, fer, as they
say, some power or powers might not be
satisfied until the indemnity had been
paid in full. which would mean the oc-
cupation of Picking for an indefinite time,
as it cannot be expected that Chinese
;an raise what would be required-possi-
bly, l,000,0o0,000 taels-at once. As a
matter Of fact, it will take several years.
The cavalry and infantry attachments
which have been investigating the re-
ported troubles near HUI Shin WI, have

to cause alarm. All the trouble, they say,
is on the other side of the river, which

covered that a party of Catholic Chris
tians had started on an expedition, but

CONFESSES TO HIS CRIME
John Freeman. of Webster City,
Burned His Wife to Death.

Estherville, Dec. 20.-John A. Free.
| man, before the coroner's jury yes
terday, confessed to having pounded
his wife into Inconsistencies, sat.
urated the bed upon which she lay
with gasoline and setting fire to it
When Mrs. Freeman's body wac
found 1t was burned to a crisp.
Tuesday morning, about $3.50 a. m.
Freeman, who lived with his wife in
the northeast portion OF the city
came hurriedly to his neighbor, A
Severson, and told him to come to
his house, only few rods away,
that his house was on fire. On be
ing asked by Severson where his
wife was, Freeman said he did not
know; but supposed she was in tina
house. The two then made repeated
efforts TO rescue her, but could eff
feet no entrance to the bedroom on
the first floor, where she was sup
posed to be.
After the house was nearly burned
to the ground the flames were put
out and it was then discovered that
Mrs. Freeman was bucned to a crisp
as she lay in an apparent natural
position in bed. Freeman was plac-
ed under surveillance and at the cor
oner's inquest he was on the stand
for full four hours. He maintained
his nerve and told an apparently con.
sistent and straight story, though
he was pressed hard by the rigid
examination given him by Acting
County Attorney n. j. Lee.
The inquest was adjourned until
yesterday morning when after hear
ing the testimony of neighbors OF
the Freemaas, the husband was
again brought from his cell to an.
swer further questions concerning
the death of his wife and the burn
ing of his house. He then announc.
ed to the coroner's jury that he had
decided to tell the truth.

ings with gasoline, set fire to the
bedclothes and went to the barn.
When the fire had made sufficient
Roadway to prevent any rescue anG
anything that would lead to any de
lection of the crime he called his
neigh5ors as already related.
He stated also he and his wife had
engaged in disputes recently oveI
many matters and that she enter
tanned recently a fixed belief that
he intended leaving her, which he
said, in fact, he did intend. He had
planned to go in the country for
day or so, he said, on the morning
of tha crime and she demonstrated
with him, and becoming angered at
her, committed the acts stated.
The couple had been married but
six months and both were near the
age of fifty. Freeman is unusually
intelligent.

ENGLAND is ALARMED.
The Turn In South African Affairs
Causes CONSERVATION.

London, Dec. 23.-Proof that the
British government is decidedly
alarmed over the turn of affairs in
South Africa is amply and officially
given in this seven-fold manner:
Ordering of achievements to
Kitchener post haste.
Quadrupling of pay for the Imper-
ial Yeomanry to induce them to stay
in the field.
Increasing of the colonial police
from a comparative corporaPs guard
to force of 10000.
Requests that Australia and New
Zealand send more troops to the
scene of war.
Proclamation of martial law in the
invaded and disaffected districts of
northern Cape Colony.
Ordering of General Baden-Powell
and General Brabant to the front
from Cape Town.
"EXplanation" from Kitchener
which, whiie denying stories of NUT
my among troops in the field, admits
that many in the South African corps
have rebeHed against longer service.
To these are added the semi-of1icial
assertion that revolt more or less
open exists all along Cape Colony's
northern border and the announce
ment that the rainy season is on in
full force, greatly impeding the move
ments of the British troops.
