Our friend the Press and Stand
ard, says the matter of taxation has
nothing to do with the proposed an
nexation of Warren township to Bam-
berg county; that ''the dissatisfac-
tion arises from other causes which
the delegation already stand pledged
sto remedy" We were under the i'm
preston from the remarks of. our
friend for several weeks past that
taxation, bond issue, ETC., were un-
der discussion, but if the reason -is
as stated above, why we have moth
ing to say, as we do not care to mix
up in family dispute. In this dis
scussion we have not attempted to in
terfere between the people OF Walter
Sboro and Warren township, but when
Bamberg county and it's advantages
were discussed, we have endeavoreo
Ito give correct information.

CASH DRAWERS RIFLED.
Two Stores at Branchville Entered
by Means of Skeleton Key.

Branchville, Nov. 25.-Some un-
known person early this morning
took the liberty of going into the
front doors of the Branchville Hard
ware Company and the J. R. C..
Bruce & Co.'S stores, using a skele-
ton key to open the front door locks,
and riling the money drawers and
cash registers.
The hardware company found its
money drawers broken and destroyed
and several dollars taken therefrom,
while Mr.. Bruce, who uses register,
found the alarm cut OF and the draw
er opened. However, the thief found
only a lot of trade checks and pen
nies, and seeing that they were
valueless, he left them near the hard
ware store.
Detectives are now working on the
cases.

BLEW SISTERS HEAD OFF.
Small Boy in Cherokee Kills Little
Sister with Empty Gun.

Gaffney, Nov. 23.-A little@ negro
boy named Phillip Morgan, about 10
years of age, shot his smaller sister,
Lula, in the neck with a shotgun,
near this city yesterday, killing her
instantly. Coroner Vinesett was
summoned, and at once went to the
scene, but decided that it was not
necessary to hold an inquest. It
seems from what could be learned OF
the affair that the two children had
been left in the house together, and
that the boy, not knowing that the
gun was loaded, threw it up to his
shoulder and pulled the trigger. The
child's head was almost severed from
the body. The parents were at work
in nearby field when the accident
occurred.

The decision of the United States
court in the case against F. D. War
ren, editor of the Appeal to Reason,
= Socialist paper, shows to what
lengths the government will go in
suppression and injustice against
those who expose their questionable
acts. There was no evidence that
Warren had committed any crime,
and his conviction is an outrage
which should make free people
blush for shame chat such things are
permitted in the name of justice.

Knights of Pythias Oppose Raise

- Columbia, Nov. 26-Following a
convention of representatives of the
various lodges of the Knights OF
Pythias, in this State, announcement
was made as to plans in Connection
with the efforts to have the courts
pass upon the re-rating of fourth
class policy holders in the order. That
fully $2,000,000 in benefits and a
large sum in assessments that was
raised, are involved, is the statement
made by the representatives of the
polfcy-holders.
AT the meeting. T. Hasel Gibbes;
formerly mayor of Columbia, was
made treasurer. and the executive
committee named In connection with
the matter is: s. L. Miller, F, j. Par
ham and F. NJ. Clarkson. It was
also announced that q resolution was
adopted assessing each policy-holder
in this class 81 per $1,000 on his
policy to defray the expenses OF the
litigation. The situation, as set out
by legal representatives Of the policy
holders is this: Many years ago the
Knights of Pythias issued q certain
class of policies and charged q GER
tain rate. Now the persons taking
these policies are growing old, and
the effort is to place prohibitive
assessment.
For example, one instance Is given
where mans monthly assessment
was raised from Sc to $26 on his
$4,000 policy. In the effort to stop
this raising of the assessment on this
class of policies, the policy holders are
organizing in this State. The resort
to the court will probably be for In
junction and will land in the United
States courts. The supreme lodge OF
the K. of P's., in this policy had re-
served the right to raise assessments,
but the position taken by the policy
holders will be that this procedure,
which would go into effect January
1, is a change in rating. Legal pro-
ceedings will be instituted at once.
The insurance commissioner has al
ready, practically, ruled that he can
not take a hand.

Judge r. w. Memminger is to be
commended for his efforts to conduct
sthe business of the courts with as
Iittle delay as possible. He made a
fine record in this respect at the re-
cent term of court here. While he
practically cleared the calendar, he
did 1t quietly and nicely and did not
raise the mischief with any witnesses,
Jurors, or lawyers for delaying pro-
sceedings. The judge is courteous to
. marked degree in the court room,
yet he pushes the, work at hand and
thereby saves money to the counties.
