Denmark DOinss.

DENMARK, January 80, 1901.-Burglars
have been putting in some shrcwd work
in this town during the past few months.
Some bold robbery is committed almost
every week. Homes are no longer safe
from the possible visit of marauders.
Locks and iron bars are small hindrances,
when the object sought is behind them.
Detectives have been at work, but the
band seems to be able to make haul just
when they feel like it, neither are they
very particular as to whose property they
squander. When the parties are caught
the same old wOeful tale Of the idle loafcr
will again he rehashed. The last raid
was made on the store of StOrne Il
Livingston last Saturday night, AMI on
account of the tumbled up condition of
goods after heavy sales day it was i'm
possible to estimate the loss. The rob
bers first tried to bore under the floor
latch of one of the doors, but finally gave
up the plan and forced IN entrance
through rear window, which was faSten-
ed by a diagonal bar of iron pinned on
the inside. One of the money drawers
was DESTROYED. Two others were undiS-
turbed. Less than dollar in money was
taken. Mr.. Stornc discovered the work
of the thieves Sunday morning about
eight O'clock No clue by which the
guilty ones may be apprehended has yet
been found.
Mrs. s. D. NJ. Guess is visiting her only
brother, Mr.. Tom Barr, Lexington, S. c.
Out of twelve brothers and sisters the
two named above are the only survivors.
Therefore, these two representatives Of 4
once large, happy family circle will find a
varied line ofpleasant and sad reflections
as they scan together the mighty tides of
life swept out into biographical history.
Mr.. Barr will celebrate his golden we'd
ding" while his sister is with him. Mrs.
Guess will visit the forgotten and desert
ed fields of childhood around Batesburg,
and will spend few days with friends in
Johnston before returning to Denmark.
Miss Maud IneZ Tillman, teacher of
the High School, was called home last
SATURDAY to the bedside of her sick father.
Latest news indicates that this noble citi

a very critical condition. Miss Tillman's
many friends trust that her father will be
able to tide the worst
Mr.. Editor, the life of "lonely sister"
must be sad Your correspondent does
not know the experience of such one,
but upon reading and studyinga literary
diary" of local friend the following lines
tell touching tale, since the lady is
known to have loved and loved in vain:
Homes not merely roof and room,
1t needs something to endear it.
Home is where the heart can bloom,
When there's some kind lip to cheer it.
What is home, with none to meet.
None to welcome, none to greet US,
Home is sweet, and only sweet,
When there's one we love to meet us"

This newspaper has had considerable
to say during the past year or so about
: the necessity of system of waterworks
for Bauberg. We have always argued
thatthe saving in insurance premiums
alone would pay the interest on the
necessary bonds. The fire Wednesday
morning of last week was all object les
son on the necessity of waterworks. By
the assistance of the water system of the
cotton mill the house was saved. Had
it not been situated near enough for hose
to be stretched the building would have
been totally destroyed. Let us have the
waterworks and that at once. 1t will
not only be great convience but a
money saver as well.

on the legislature and is making a fight
for measures which affect large interests

Whether it wins out or not, that news

We would suggest to our contemporary
however, that it use little more diplo-
macy and less harsh language. "You

the Supreme Court, John Marshall, and
the courtroom and the streets about the
famous Capitol Richmond, which still
exists among the most vengrated of the
historic buildings of Virginia, were
crowded with witnesses, lawyers and
public men from all parts of the country.
Burr was not proved to be guilty under
the indictment and the evidence sub
mitted. His beautiful. brilliant daugh-
ter, Theodosia, radiant with JOY, appear
ed in the streets of the town for long
walk with her father, amid the admira-
ton of his partsans. She had won the
hearts of even his enemies with her
beauty and Still more with her filial de-
votion. The further proceedings which
had been meditated by the Federal Gov
ernment were dropped, for Burr's most
uncharitable foes must have been salts

The matter of equalization of taxation
is a very knotty problem, and We feel
sure that it will take hard work and q
long time before much reform is accom-
plished along this line Hon. A McIver
Bostick, of this county, has introduced a
bill in the legislature looking to the
listing of property which is not now re-
turned for taxation. If all the property
which should be was returned, the levy
could be materially reduced, even with
the present valuation. This newspaper
has had a good deal to say about this
taxation question in the past, and we
truly hope that some system can be es-
tablished by our lawmakers which will
remedy the evil Real estate does not
escape taxation to any appreciable ex-
tent-it is something tangible which can
be reached. But personal property re-
turns is the evil which needs to be cor
rected. Bonds, notes. mortgages, and
other evidences of credit-the best kind
of property, which above all should be
taxed-is the kind of wealth that does
not get upon the tax books, and Mr.
Bostick's bill seeks to improve conditions
" in this respect. The bill is step in the
right direction, and should pass. The
editor of this paper had conversation
with Mr.. Bostick about this matter last
summer, and We are glad that his ideas
have taken shape in his bill.
