Watchman in Brookland Store m?c TT at m.:;-'- JL&iio AAM-V* State, sSept. 23. When a negro robber stuck his St^Y|^; head thro\igh a broken window pane Pjr- .in the store of D. E. George, New Brookland, early yesterday morning, he was fired on by two* watchmen, who had been stationed inside the store, and- dropped from his perch, leaving his hat behind. Examination of the hat showed that a bullet had - gone through it, though there were no signs of blood on it nor on the ground wh^e it was found. ; Mr., George's sto-e, he says, has been practically cleaned out by robbers, and this week attempts have hppn made to enter stores adjoining i his, the store of M. S. Gibson having1 i . ' been given ?attention a few nights ago. In efforts to stop the robberies. K. Corner and Cleveland DuBose stationed themselves in George's store j and early yesterday morning heard the robber preparing to make his attempt at entrance. A ladder was i f ' placed against the rear of the store, | and the window glass broken. A ne-! gro stuck his head through and' \ was preparing to enter when he was fired upon. The shotgun used snap-' ned and a pistol was called into serv- j ioe, four shots being fired.-The negro j fell to the ground and It was thought i 1 at first that he had been killed. Examination showed, howeevr, that he had escaped, leaving his hat with a _ hole through it on the ground. It is thought that he was struck by some of the bullets. . 4 The-hat was brought to the police i r station in Columbia yesterday, Mr. * George says, in the hope that it might V be of some service in finding the \ man. Store robberies in Brookland V \ have been of frequent occurrence this v summer. IT WAS MIDNIGHT ^ ./ (By V. L. Wessinger:') It was midnight on the ocean ' Not a street car was in sight. The sun was shining brightly. For it rained all day that night. s* , 'Twas evening'and he rising sun t " ' Was sitting in'the West; vAnd the little fishes in the trees. Were cuddled in their nest. ; * i ! / r 'Twas a summer day in winter And the rain was snowing fast, , A barefoot boy with shoes on, * Stood sitting on the grass. / . A warm, dp* rain was pouring down, - c The sun was shining bright, * And everything that you could see, J Was hidden out of sight. Jp&g. ; , Then the organ peeled potatoes; / Lard was rendered by the choir. i. While the sexton rang the dishrag, Some one set the church on fire. # **Holy smoke," the preacher shouted, i As he madly tore his hair. > 2sow his head resembles heaven, For there is no parting there. ? (Copied.) There is really very little economic Hifference between the man and wo- j f man of today. A woman\spends her j money for attire and a man spends j his money for a tire. More menr die of idleness than of j ' hard work. ?i ?! WHEN | - . i in Columbia, Lunch with us at Cream' Wy Lunch Room 1216 Lady Street, 1-2 block from Main.

Johns, near Chappells, the night of September 12, except j that officers succeeded yesterday in finding the money box of the aged couple, an iron box 12 by 14, weighing 50 pounds. It was found some distance back of the store and res; dence, where it had been broken open with a rock. The money, about $30, had been abstracted, but the papers remained in it. The negro John Golden, arrested the day after the robbery, told the officers where to look for the box. ?ie coniessea to Deing one 01 ine negroes who attacked Mr. and Mrs. Johns, but says the other negro, whom he described, was the one that beat the man and his wife and also took the money, giving him $5 of it and keeping the rest. But the officers have found about $25 on Golden ?$4.25 in his' pocket when , he was arrested, and since then other sums hidden in his clothes and in the mattress in his cell. It is now certain that Golden and the other negro who committed the crime were on the Chester county chaingang at the^ same time, being released September 6.

There can be no doubt about it whatever, the United States is the greatest republic on the face of the I globe and its citizens enjoy a greater degree of freedom than other nations. But there is oppression in several forms that makes it hard for the average man to enjoy his full measure of freedom. Whether we realize it or not, we are all subjects of, and pay tribute to, His Tyranical Majesty, Dollar Bill. We work eight, ten or twelve hours a day to earn a few dollars, which we immediately spend on living and enjoyment, and most of us are always bewailing our inability to overthrow the power which has kept us subjected all these years. All our complaining: will avail us nothing if we have nut the will to help ourselves. If we have this will power, and even a limited amount of foresight, there is an opportunity offering itself to each and every one of us to ferment a revolution and overi throw our oppressor.
