Had to Levy for Taxes.

Sheriff Greenberry Barrickman
states that he has had to use some
measures more or less harsh to col
lect taxes from people in different
parts of the county. In several in
stances, he has been compelled to
levy on property, in order to get
amounts promised him time and
time again. This procedure has
had wholesome effect however, and
many that we're behind with their
taxes are now coming forward to
pay up. The money is needed badly.

Dispensary for Winnsboro.

Winnsboro, Special will
have beer dispensary unless some
thing is done to prevent the carrying
out Of the decision Of the county board
Cf control to the effect that beer dis
pensary be opened at an early date. 1t
will be recalled that this matter came
up several months ago when petition
was presented by Samuel Simpson to
the state board Of directors asking for
the establishment Of beer dispensary
at this place where a regular dispen-
sary was doing a thriving business. A
counter petition was also presented at
the same meeting, and the authorities
OF the State machine referred the mat
ter back to the local board with the
authority to establish said dispensary
unless petition against it should be
presented bearing the signature of
majority of the registered voters OF the
township in which Winnsboro is 10
Gated. The said petition was presented,
and with the records that the county
board had before 1t they decided that
It contained the necessary majority and
so the instructions Of the State board
were not carried out.
The next step was Summoning OF
the members Of the county board to
appear before the State board and
show why their instruction had not
been carried out. The whole matter,
however, was referred back to the local
board with the result that 1t yesterday
reversed it's previous action. Those
who have opposed the establishment
O. the said dispensary will now take
out an injunction against its establish
ment till certain facts can be decided
by the courts. The issue is in regard
to who are voters. According to the
registration board there are a great
many names there Of parties who do
not now reside in this township and
who have been away from it long
enough to be entitled to vote elsewhere.
Those who oppose the dispensary hold
that these are not now entitled to vote
in the township and their names can
not therefore be counted in making up
the list of registered voters. Those
who favor the dispensary not only
want the names Of those stated above
counted, but they also claim the names
of those who are registered elsewhere
and who have been here long enough
to have REGISTERED If thy had only at
tended to it. Both of these points have
been submitted to the attorney gen.
eral. but for some reason he has de-
ferred giving an answer In the mat

An Exchange Suggestion.

The school board of London has pro-
posed to Superintendent Martin that
a sort of correspondence school be
opened up between the children at
tending the London schools and the
children attending the schools OF
South Carolina. The boards idea is
that the children here write compost
tions and descriptions of the country
and exchange these with the children
of London for similar compositions.
The idea is good one, Superintendent
Martin thinks, and it will be submitted
to the school authorities Of Colum-
bia. Greenville, Charleston, Spartan
burg and other towns, and in the mean
time should any Of the schools desire
to take it up the adress Of the board is

The Brunson Bank Robbery.

Brunson, Special.-For the robbery
Of the Bank of Brunson six suspects
have been arrested so far, but only two,
Ed Parker and Mike Brady. have been
bound over for court; the other four,
having proved an alibi. were released.
II is sincerely hoped that the perpetra-
tors of this crime will be speedily
brought to justice. The two now held
for trial wer seen around Brunsoa for
several days preceding the robbery,
which fact they admit, and yet give no
plausible reason for being here. 1t
would be wise for the town council to
enforce the vagrancy law more rigidly,
thus perhaps preventing such crimes.

house and uttered the name Of Pierre
Rlposa. Mrs. Vernon, Pauline and
Mademoiselle de Sezannes began to
shriek, rushing together into one an
others arms.
Colonel Loring entered, followed
by two or three ill-favored men. If
he was surprised at seeing the three
ladies so frightened at the mere men
tion of his name-the name he had
come to like best-he did not show it
in his calm, cold face, or by even the
slightest movement.
He stood moment as if to make
sure of his vision and then stalked
forward in his peculiar hslf-graceful,
haif-dogged way to whore the group OF
frightened and crying women stood.
"Why, Madame Vermont" he cried.
's.Is this you? And you, Miss Pauline!
And Mademoiselle de Sezannes!"
He looked at them askance, but
with no particular interest.
"Oh, it is Colonel Loring" cried
Mrs. Vernon, springing toward him,
almost as if to embrace him, IN her
sudden sense of relief. 'I was fright
ened nearly out of my senses; oh, I'm
30 very glad!"
The man smiled so that his face for
the moment flashed forth fascina-
ting light from its almost stolid eea-
lures. He took Mrs. Vernon's hand,
and at the same time looked at Pauline
and Mademoiselle de Sezannes.
'I am making my way to my
FRIEND" he ssid, 'and came in here
thinking to get some information: !
did not dream cf the pleasure of find
ing you here"
He told the lie with consummate
ease and naturalness.
The young ladies now came forward
smiling through their tears and greet
ed him warmly. For the moment even
Mademoisale de Sezannes forgot that
he had made himself odious to her.
Meantime Lapin stood open
mouthed and wondering to see that
terrible robber received so consider
stc,y by his mistress and Pauline.
