"In men whom men condemn as ill, I rind so much of goodness still; ir. men whom men pronounce divine, I rind so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw 'the line Between the two?where God has not" Danger. . The glad Christmas time is at hand. It is an occasion laden with its joys and good things. But it is unfortunately not without its dangers through sports that attend it. To two of these dangers, we'would call especial attention. First, there is the parlor rifle,that Is fast attaining a place of prom fV>Q cnrlrlon mer.ee as a weapon iui n.t destruction of of human beings, most frequently without ever sound of warning. Even its click is not heard, but the work is none the less deadly. Parents in placing this supi>osed innocent toy in the hands of their children are inviting the death of some one, they know not whom. Kingstree has had a full share of sorrow from this death-dealing instrument that it would sure-; ^.m tiiat nn narent hereabouts! would ever permit one of these parIt. r ridles to be brought upon their \ premises. Second?There is a law upon the statute books of this State that firecrackers shall not be more than three inches long. This season toe manufacturers have evaded the letter of the law by bringing out a cracker that is of the required length, and yet is very much heavier loaded than were formerly the larger crackers which were considere 1 .^o deadly. We do not know whether any of these crackers will be offered on this market this season.but if they are. most serious accidents may be looked for. Parents may well caution their children . 1 ...w;?u against tnc* uciiuiv uacM~idt >\mvu though shortened will widen their sphere of destruction. Any merchant. in town, who may have thoughtlessly purchased these illegal crackers, out of due consideration to the welfare of his neighbor's! child, could well afford to drop his! stock of these into some well or! other place that will put them forever out of sight. j Before the fire Saturday we had j clipped the foregoing from The i Winnsboro News and Herald, substituting Kingstree for Winnsboro, as the advice given fits our town equally well. We had intended supplementing the article with a warning against the indiscriminate sh " .ting of fireworks in the business streets. With the severe object les-j son of the potential destructive I pr.ver of fireworks thrust upon is; Saturday, it is time to.stress the J fact that there is an ordinance j against shooting fireworks on the | two main business streets. This or-, dinance seems to have fallen into innocuous desuetude since the holiday I season commenced and the detonation of cannon-crackers, bombs and the j smaller pieces of ordnance has reverberated through the town at nights, suggesting at times a mini- j ture Waterloo. It is hoped that the I authorities will ptit the lid on the ! shooting of fireworks in the business parts of Main and Academy streets and try to curb the reckless spirit urKii/?V? (aipmj tn rvtac?>c& Hfitne nponle ! in jeopardizing other people's property. Far be it from our intention to ' to try to check legitimate, wholesome fun and frolic, without w^iich the gladsome yuletide would be stale flat and unprofitable, but there is reason and moderation in all things and the law holds good at Christmas as well as the rest of the year. We j do not think that a legal holiday was ever designed as a day of unbridled license, which would of itself be an illegal holiday. The safe and sane Christmas is the best preliminary for a happy new year. i Dr. Cook, who reaped a harvest of shekels telling how he discovered the North Pole, is now gathering more coin tolling another yarn explaining how he came to make a claim that he half confesses to Ik* a fake, pure and simple. , In this day of fast living precocious youngsters are the rule rather , than the exception and scarcely anything they do is incredibly startling. Yet the story from Koch cster, Pa, that a six-year-old mail ' robber was caught in the postoffice is suflieiently out of the ordinary to excite some attention among neusjKjjK-r readers. The youngster when caught had his arms full of mail that he had stolen and was in 1 the act of carrying it off. What pity ' that such initiative and ingenuity should take a sinister trend.

K jLiiiii: JLK Charles Carroll,a marine stationed at the Port Royal naval station, arrested for drunkenness and aisorderliness Saturday and confined in the Port Royal g-uard house, met with a horrible death Saturday night when the prison house was destroyed by fire. He cried aloud for help but it came too late. He was burned to a crisp. John T Anderson,a fifteen-year-old Charleston lad. lost his life Saturday from a wound inflicted by a toy cannon. The boy,with a number of companions, was playing with the deadly toy,loading it with slugs, nails, or any old thing, and firing at a "mark". In some way the contents of the cannon when fired struck young Anderson in the leg. tearing it nearly off. He survived only a few hours after being shot. Adjutant General John C Boyd, whose second term of office would | have expired January 10, succumbed Saturday night to a stroke of paralysis which he sustained Friday on the train en route from Charleston to Columbia, his home. He had had several similar attacks within the past few years. He never gained consciousness from this final stroke. He died at his home in Columbia on Hampton avenue. General Boyd was 62 years old. being one of the young est soldiers in the Confederate army; he was only fifteen when he ran away from home and enlisted. Twelve killed and thirty wounded is the toll taken by the Grim Reaper | in a double explosion of gas and dynamite on the New York Central railroad last Monday. The dynamite blast picked up a trolley car, sent it up in the air and it fell upon a passing automobile,with the direful consequences above stated. R T Parnell, Coroner of Darlington county, died at his home at Dar lington Sunday morniug after a linden n? illness. He was a Confederate soldier. Governor Ansel has appointed Mr B J Rhame.of Sumter,bank examiner to fill the place made vacant by the recent resignation of Mr Giles L Wilson of Spartanburg. Mr Rhame has been for some time the assistant examiner. W T Grain,a white employe of the saw-mill at Robbins, Barnwell county,was crushed to death Saturday by a log rolling over him. The town of Woodruff" suffered a | instructive fire Thursday^lorning of j last week, causing about $30.000j damage. Among the property destroyed was the printing outfit of The Woodruff News & Herald, valued at $2,100 with no insurance. At Pinewood, Clarendon county, a four-year-old girl named Annie Belle Wilson was burned to death December 14. The child had a box of matches plavin? with them in the yard of her parents' home. Conductor W M Francis,in charge of Southern train No. 44, died of acute indigestion Tuesday morning near Senaca while aboard hi> train. He was 57 years. Three murdered? father, daughter and grand-daughter, and home burned was the work of a fiend near Durham, N C, Monday night. A negro is suspected of being the perpetrator of the diabolical deed and is in the State Penitentiary jiending investigation.

Hemingway C Our town was saddened Tuesday j when it was learned that Mrs ^ Mary Rebecca Hemingway had C passed away at 6 o'clock in the morn-! * ing at her home on Railroad avenue, j Although she had been an invalid v _ $ for a year or two th? end came unexpectedly and was a shock to all *" her loved ones. About 4 o'clock c Tuesday morning she complained to j I the nurse of feeling bad and the fam- 8 ily were aroused, but the sinking ~ spell passed and was thought to be q over. About 6 o'clock she took some ^ nourishment and lay back on the' bed. In a few moments, almost as if in gentle slumber, her spirit passed j a awav from earth into everlasting j life. i o Mrs Hemingway was the youngest ? daughter of Capt John EhScott of il Cedar Swamp and was 58/ears old last November. She wa^Farried to j Dr Theodore S Heminaway, a well- " known physician of the Rome sec- j tion of this county, where they lived ' until after her husband's death some j vonrc no-n Their union was blessed i with four children, two of whom died in childhood; the surviving ones are Mrs Lila Burgess and Mr Theo- ^ dore Hemingway, of this town. i ii About ten years ago Mrs Hemihg- ? way moved to Kingstree, bought C her present home and engaged in the ? hotel business. "The Hemingway t Hotel" enjoyed a fine reputation for j its excellent cuisine and even yet o L veteran commercial traveling men t hark back to the days when they relished the appetizing fare provided jj by Mrs Hemingway. b The deceased possessed in large ? measure the sterling qualities and C inherent graces that are associated ? with the highest type of Southern k womanhood. She managed her busi- ^ ness affairs?ofttimes arduous and trying?with great tact and infinite q patience which disarmed the most captious fault-finder even among a class of patrons who are often devoid of courtesy and prone to find cause for complaint without reason. She was mild-mannered, gentle in spirit, yet when occasion required, showed an inflexible spirit and a clear-cut sense of duty. She was for many years a consistent membed of the Methodist church j and in th^ church yesterday morn- j * ? A 1>A?. ^nnorol COriTPPQ ! inK at il U L'lUUA IICl lUHWioi ^4 ?ivvw ^ were held by lier pastor, Rev W A | Fairy, in the presence of a number of relatives/and friends, gathered to pay the last sad tribute that frail mortals can bestow upon their beloved dead. Mr Fairy spoke feeling- i ly of his personal esteem and friend-, ship for Mrs Hemingway and com-1 mended her many noble attributes. ' His remarks were listened to closely , and reverently and many heads were bowed in grief at the close of the touching and solemn service. After Mr Fairy's remarks the body was r taken to the Williamsburg cemetery | 2 and tenderly laid to rest. i t Besides her two children and! r grand-daughter,little Elizabeth Bur I ATvo Hamintrtt'wv Ipjjvps a stPTl- ! r i?lo r ^ son, Mr J A Hemingway, of George-| town; two brothers, Dr D C Scott j i and Mr Thomas M Scott, and one ! sister, Mrs Julia E Kennedy, besides I many others of more distant kinship, who sincerely mourn her loss.
