Anyone wishing to see Denmark in its
beauty should be here now while it IS
mantled in its green foliage. Weeds
ranging from 10 inches to four feet high
on sidewalks and streets, and still the
street tax is $200 besides the property
tax, all being paid and about twelve hun
dred dollars in the treasur.y and no work
done. The tax payers would like to know
what they are paying out their money for.
1t is a down right imposition upon
the citizens to be compelled to pay the
taxes and have wilderness to walk in.
Never in the history of the town has it
been in the condition it is in now, and it
is certainly not inviting to strangers and
will never be as long as it is kept in this
condition. The way to advertise town
and make it inviting is to keep the streets
in a nice, clean, healthy condition, and
when that is done the public at large will
advertise it.
The rain has done considerable damage
to the cotton crop in this section. From
the present outlook there will be hardly
a half crop made.
1t is rumored that We are to have
several more new stores 60 up in our

some kind of manufacturing enterprises
and it would be of great benefit to our
little city if some of our monied men
would start something of the kind.
Denmark is located at the junction of the
three largest trunk lines in the South and
no better place can be found in the State

LIVED WITH CUT HEART.
Remarkable Operation Failed to Save William
WAITS Life.

PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-After living
since June 9 with a cash in his heart
William Wyatt, 81 years old, a negro
died this afternoon in the Pennsylvania
hospital as result of his injury.
When Wyatt was taken to the hospital
the physicians said his death was but a
question of hours, perhaps minutes, as a
knife had penetrated his heart.
Nevertheless, they took out that organ
and succeeded in taking few stitches in
it. Still, greatly to the surprise OF the
doctors, Wyatt lived, and they began to
hope for his recovery, which, had it come
about, would have been another signal
triumph of surgery.

fine GRIT, POOR JUDGMENT.
Game Rooster Fights Back at Imaginary Foe
and Dies in an Effort to Settle Things.

and Dies in an Effort to Settle Things.
"some time ago." said man connected
with the High Shoals cotton mill, in Cas-
ton county, to an Observer reporter yes
terday, "the High Shoals Company was
putting in the piers for new bridge
across the South Fork of the Catawbs
River. A Golfer dam had to be built
around the foundation space in the mid
die Of the stream, and in order to get the
water out of the inside of the dam, du-
plex pump was rugged up and steam was
carried to it in pipe which led from the
boilers 100 yards away, and lay on top Of
the ground. This pipe was very hot.
"One day game rooster, accompanied
by number Of his lady friends, came
along and, in crossing the pipe, stepped
upon it. The pipe burned his feet and
be. jumped off, but turned and stared at
the long, black thing with look Of de-
fiance in his eye. He deliberately jump
ed upon the pipe again. The pipe, know
ing no better, burned the chanticleer
again and, that time, he seemed to..think
he had been attacked, and he went at the
pipe hammer and tongs fashion, beating
it with his wings and pecking it with his
beak as though he were fighting another
cock. The onslaught was fierce and
furious and was kept up for an hour or
more. Every time he came in contact
with the pipe he was scorchedIa little,
which served only to make him fight all
the more desperately, for he seemed to
feel that his opponent was getting in 8
blow on him now and then.
"The battle continued until the rooster
was dead and the pipe all covered with
blood and feathers for distance of six
feet. Several times the chicken was
caught and carried away from the pipe,
but every time he returned to renew the
fight. No animal ever fought braver
battle."- Charlotte Observer.
