 burglar appeared at the home of Boyd Buchanan in the western part of town, and in attempting to raise window close to the bed of Miss Lii Buchanan, he awoke the young lady, who, peeklng out at the side of the curtain, discovered a heavy-set black negro, wearing a slouch

 Realizing that the negro would finally gain entrance, Miss Buchanan stealthily made for the room of her father adjoining, and awakening him secured his pistol. They went to the young ladies room, but the negro had moved to another window on the back side of the room, and the curtain being raised he could easily be seen, and Mr. Buchan- an fired three times through the window, but the shot evidently passed too high, for there was no evidence after the smoke had cleared away that the burglar had been hit. However, it is most certain that fragments of glass from the shattered pane must have struck him in the face, and the officers are today looking for a black negro with long hair who may possibly hay e peppered face.

THE DOMINATING WHITE RACE

If there is anybody who be- lieves that white people should be dominated by a colored race a visit to The Clansman" will convince him of the utter absurd ity of the idea.
 This famous play which will be seen in this city at the opera house on December 9th, pre- sents picture of South Caro- lima after the civil war when the state was under negro rule. In a most intense and vivid manner it describes the shaking off of this terrible yoke by the dash ing, chivalrous members of the noted Ku KluX Klan, who rode at night in defense of their home and State.
 The Japanese menace in Cana da and the West is regarded by many as threatening in it's char acteristics as the negro peril in the South in 1866. "The Clans man" is reported to have conclu sively proved the white race should be the only dominating element in the civilized Western hemisphere and that its prero. gatives must not be usurped by any other race, black or yellow
