after a pleasant visit to relatives and friends in Yorkville. Misses Jessie Alexander and Mamie Lewis, of Lincolnton, X. CM stopped over last Friday night with Mrs. H. H. Beard, on their way to Camden. s Mr. J. P. White, of Gaffney City, has returned to Yorkville. This year he will represent the Augusta Cotton and Compress company, ofAugusta, Ga. Miss Mary Chapman, who has been assisting her brother, Mr. H. R. Chapman, at Hoodtown school, has returned to her home at Halsellville, in Chester county. Major T. C. Beckham and Captain Iredell Jones, of Rock Hill, were in Yorkville last Monday, by special invitation, to assist in the organization of the camp % of United Confederate Veterans. In recognition of Mr. H. F. Adickes's ability in insurance work, the great Mutual Life Insurance company, of Xew York, has appointed Mr. Adickes as an executive special agent, and has assigned him to his field of work which embraces Canada and the United States. THE SOUTH TO THE FRONT. Mr. M. F. Jones, of the Ganson Dry Goods company, returned from the Northern markets a few days ago, and a representative of The Enquirer called on him Wednesday to see whether he had learned anything that would be of interest to the people down this way. He said : t, ''I never bought a stock of goods so cheap before since I have been in business. Last fall the market was demoralized, and goods were low in anticipation of the operation of the new tariff law that was shortly to go into effect. Since then trade has been settling down to a rock bottom basis, s. and the general impression among those who know, is that rock bottom has been reached. From now on the tendency of New York prices is likely to be upward. "But," continued Mr. Jones, "I noticed something else which, to my mind, is of more interest to the people of the South than the future price of goods. I refer to the fact that the mnitnlisis North are becoming more interested in this section than ever before. Wherever you go among them, it is easy to see that they are full of the idea that this is the coming section, and if I am not badly mistaken, nine out of ten of them are just itching for ' a good opportunity to invest their money here." "And how do you account for this condition of affairs ?" "There is a very plausible theory, and I have no doubt that it is pretty nearly correct. After the close of the war, on account of sectional prejudices, our advantages and resources were more or less obscured from the view of the Northern capitalist, and, consequently, the tide of emigration and capital were turned in the direction of the West. The West was built up rather more rapidly than its resources would warrant, aud a few years ago ^ there was a collapse. The whole country felt the shock to a greater or less extent; but beyond a pretty severe tightening up in money matters, the South was not phased. Our Northern friends could not help but notice this, and when they inquired for the reason, it was easily to be found in our tremendous resources, agricultural and otherwise. We have proved that we have the greatest section of the whole country, and that is why our;Northern friends now want to put thoir money here." ; LETTER FROM BETHEL. i Cotton Opening Slowly?The Singing School Closed?Notes About Teachers. Correspondence of the Yorkvljle Enquirer. Bethel, September 10."-Cotton does not seem to have been Opening very rapidly during the past few days, and the work of picking is progressing very slowly. The closing exercise^ of Professor James Collins's singing' school took place at Bethel last Friday and Saturday. Many of the bes!t singers from Clover, Tate's Chapel aiid Union were present, and rendered some line music. Good judges said that it was as good as they had ever heard; Mr. Lee Wilson bas completed tne term for which he agreed to teach at Point, and left Monday for Louisville, Ky., to attend the Theological seminary at that place. Mr. Tom Johnson has turned over his school at Chestnut Oak to his sister and gone back to Davidson. Mr. Milton Jackson has moved his saw mill to the Wallace Bros, place, Dear Bethel, and will commence work there at once. The chills have broken out in this community anew. They are oven worse than last year. v. e. c. The Committee Chairmanships. The chairmeu of the various constitutional convention committees, are as follows: J. L. M. Irby, Declaration of Rights; J. A.

SOMETIME AGO We advertised that we would continue to sell 20 pounds of Standard Granulated Sugar for $1.00 until further notice, and we have not advertised any change.

August 28 57 3tw ' STRAUSS HAS AN INTERVIEW, ! In Which Mr. Broadway Wholesaler ? Tells Him a Few Things That Will Interest Folks at Home. .Strauss?Hello, Wholesaler, how's business ? Wholesaler?Why, hello Strauss, the very sight of you is good for sore eyes. r Business, that is the credit business, has been tine; but I was beginning to think that I wasn't going to sell any goods for cash from your section of the Palmetto State, as your competitors have all been here a few days ago and all bought goods 1 here on from (iO to 90 days time, and if there is one thing I do like, it is to sell a man a 1)111 of goods of a couple of thousand dollars, and give him 8 per cent, off ' for cash. Strauss?Why is it a pleasure? Don't you make more money by selling on time with good security ? Wlw.lounlnr?Oh vou hilt, vnu SPP it is this way : We like for our customers to make money themselves, and to save their , home customers money. Let me give an ' illustration of the difference between a , credit buyer and you. Suppose you buy $2,000 worth of goods, and as you always pay cash, you get a discount of 8 per cent, which amounts to 8160. Now, Mr. Credit ' he buys 82,000 worth of goods, doesn't get | any discount, but pays 8per cent, interest ! for 90 days, which amounts to 8*0. You see you have 8200 advantage on your competitor. Now, when you come to profit, you put on 10 per cent, on the original bill, which will make you a profit of 8200, added to your cash discount it will be 8360, less 8100 for freight, making actual profit 8260. Now, Mr. Credit puts on 10 per cent, and makes a bare profit of 860, just 3 per cent, on his money. Now you can take8100 ' off your profit, selling your goods for 840 less than Mr. Credit pays for his, and still make a profit of 8160, or 8 per cent, on the 82,000 invested. Had you thought of that ? Strauss?Well, no I hadn't figured it out ; so far as that; but I knew it was to the in terest of customers and myself; in fact, all connected, but my competitors, for me to . pay cash. How is the styles, varieties, qualities and prices on imported goods this fall ? ; Wholesaler?Well, the styles are just simply out of sight, in fact, they are so new and elegant as to fairly dazzle a Fifth avenue belle. The varieties are as numerous as the races represented in the population of New York. The Qualities are just simply superb. In fuct, the qualities are better than I have known them in all my 25 years of importing. As to prices s I can assure you that the prices are so low , as to cause many of the great importing houses to tremble, ourselves not excepted. ^ Some of them have toppled with a crash, 1 and we would have come down too, had ; it not been that we were well loaded with i goods bought for cash, besides having a good pile of cash on hand. As it is, we are losing hundreds and thousands of dollars on account of having to sell goods at a price equally as low as the goods of our less fortunate brothers are being sold by the sheriff; but we are doing it, and are letting the devil get the hindmost. While 1 we are losing thousands of dollars, the /.uul, Knvino- morr>hnnt.? of South Carolina. with her remarkable crops, ought to make lots of money, and they will. Strauss?Well, I am certainly obliged to you for your kind information. And as it is rather late, I will go back to my hotel and come around in the morning early, as I want to buy at least $2,500 worth of the best qualities of ladies' dress goods. Wholesaler?All right, Mr. Strauss; just come in about 8 o'clock, and I'll give you my personal attention, and assure you the , lowest prices. Good evening Mr. Strauss. Strauss?Good evening, Mr. Wholesaler. KENNEDY BROS! & BARRON. We Call Special I Attention to SAMPLES of suits of men's clothing made to measure by Lamm & Co., of Chicago.

BAGGING & TIES IS not the mime of any tirin doing business in this community, that I know of; but for a long time 1 have noticed that they were closely associated together, ' especially at this season of the year, when the tieeey staple has "squared" itself and is preparing an "opening" for market. In fact these two commodities are almost inseperable. Where you find BAGGING, , there you will find TIES. Especially is this true at KIDDLE'S, where 21,000 ! pounds?nearly ELEVEN TONS?have settled on their own grounds and as for; BAGGING, I have yards, yes hundreds of yards, verily I believe miles.
