The millinery establishments are
beautifully decorated for their open
iucs, and their supply of those "ds.rlloe
| hats" is suficientto furnish the county,
therefore there is no need to 60 to other
counties for that spring hat. Buy al
home.
The county board OF equalization met

have been found who have never paid a
cent of tax on their property.

The dynamite demonstration atAlcolu
last Wednesday came off in the presence
of a large number Of witnesses. quite a
number from this town. The results
obtained were satisfactory, and in the
hands of an expert there is no doubt
that the use Of this powerful explosive
is great aid to those desiring TO clear
their lands of stumps, or to loosen the
earth for ditching.
Do not forget the millinery openings
in Manning The woman so forgetful
wilt be a rare creature, indeed, and II
she happens to be married so short q
memory would be very mortifylng to
her husband, if single, the father would
feel there was something wrong With
his girl. Therefore do not take chances
but turn o, : with the push and look at
the hats in the millinery shops.
There was a peculiar accident at
Guido lake last Thursday. Thomas
James, colored, got one of mis- hands
blown off with dynamite while 1t Is sup.
posed by many he was in the act OF
using the explosive to kill fish. There
is a severe penalty for killing fish with
dynamite. but if the penalty is to be
visited by the violators Of the law 1t
NAV be more effective than the courts.
St. Peters Lodge of Masons had a

to confer with Mr.. Weinberg with re-
gard to the plans.
Mr.. and Mrs. ". J. Turbeville spent
Saturday in Manning on their return
from convention at Georgetown. Mr..
Turbeyille says that several lots were
sold to persons at Turbevllle who con-
template building stores and residences
in the near future. He also says a
sales stable in that community is need
ed, and he believes there is a good
opening for one TO do a fine business.
He thinks the bank is an assured sue
cess.

Fork, after a short, but severe. illness.
Mrs. Fanny Tindal, wife OF J. B. Tindal,

the love of all who knew her.
In order to obtain information as to
the increase Of tax assessments II this
county for the past ten years we looked
over the auditors abstracts and CLEANED
therefrom the following amounts assess
ed for collection:
1900, SIS, ,433 SO; 1901, s3S, ,S92 IS: 1902,
s39, ,S32. II; 1908, 81, 200 96; 1904. SAC, ,503.-
IS: 1905. S4S. ~. SIS; 1906. So. .S93.9S: 1907,
s51,3O5. .9S: 1905, s6S, $3.50: 1909. ST.
99S.24; 1910, sS2.064.S5.
The assessments have been gradually
Increasing each year, which show more
property, and the increased valuation.
II the township assessors come up to
the expectations of the taxing authorl-
ties under the new Act. 1t IS thought
there will be q considerable increase
over last wear, as there will find its way
to the tax books much property which
has heretofore escaped taxation entirely.
