' ^^^^^ z^^/^^ * ' BY CLINKSCALES & LANGSTON. ANDERSON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. JULY 3. 1901. VOTJTMR Y*YVTi___i?n ? ll ' . Our business for March, 1902, was Forty-five per Cent more than for the same month in 1901. This is by far the largest sales we haye ever had in any previous March. Last year we thought business pretty good in March, too. Now there must be some good reason for this increase. People don't come here to trade because they like us. They wouldn't come here and pay us Cash in advance if they could get the same Goods at the same prices on Credit. They have found out that the Credit Clothiers' prices for good Goods are much more than our Cash Prices. Some of you still think that you are receiving a great favor from the Credit Clothiers when you buy on credit, and that you are nuder moral obligations not to go elsewhere when you have the Casi}. You never stop to consider the enormous rate of interest you pay for the accommodation. %&?f **% Ssa?' 1? W ?T'\ % .^M for Spot Cash! And give Credit to none. We play no favorites. That's the reason we CAN and DO nt ft BBS ES ill d Than Credit Stores can afford to. Eather than take the trou ble to Investigate our Goods *S? AND Our Gash Prices, Many men continue to Ml the coffers of Credit Clothing men, who are sensible enough to nurse a good thing when they catch it. You know a good thing when yon see it. All we want is for you to get your eyes opened. Sometime at your leisure come in and let us show you. our Clothing and quote you the prices we ask for good Suits. You'll see that there's a difference between our pri?es and the other fellow, and-you'll i bay. We give a dollar's worth of Goods for a dollar? and if | cor Goods are not found as represented we ehe?rfa??y buy them feaek. and Cash Selling, honest Goods and fair treatment will win oat.

From Our Own Correspondent WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28, 1009. Democratic satisfaction is the most conspicuous feature in Congressional circles at this time, and there is ample reason for it. The victory that the Democrats of the House won when they got the amendment repealing the differential duty on refined anger, which official a of the Sugar Trust admit would cut their profits $8,000,000 a year, put on the Cuban reciprocity bill be i fore it was passed, has been made effectual by a conference of Republican Senators, which has decided that the Senate shall pass as n party measure a substitute for the House bill and that it shall not contain the repeal of the differential duty. That is j nat what Democrats hoped for, although they doubted whether the Republican lead ers would be short-sighted enough to give it to them. By killing the differ ential repeal the Republican Senate will show that it cares more for the interest of the Sngar Trust than for che interest of the sugar consumers, and the showing will bo so plain that it will be useless for Republican editors and stump-speakers to try to deny it. That showing should of itself be suffi cient to elect a Democratic majority of the next House. Is it any ' onder that Democrats in Congress sm tie and are well satisfied with the situation? The latest move of tho tariff reform Republicans in the House is nn agita tion for the appointment ot' n tarin commission to sit during tha coming summer and report to Congress next December. The chief agitator in this matter is Representative Roberts, oi Mass., who made an unsuccessful at tempt to get an amendment placing hides on the free list attached to thc Cuban reciprocity bill before it passed the House. The principal argument ic favor of a tariff commission is that il would keep the Republican tariff re formers in line during the coming Con gressional campaign, because it woulc be a sort of proifiise that the Republi cans intended to revise the tariff Democrats are not uneasy over such t method of evading the very live ques tion of tariff revision. They know that the voters of tho country are in telligent enough to know that if th? Republicans really wish to revise tin tariff there is plenty of time to do i at this session and give tho people i . chance to pass on the work at th? Congressional elections, and that tin appointment 0? a tariff' commissioi would only bo an attempt to dodge th? issue until after the Congressional elec 1 tions. Republican Senators, in addition t< telling Mr. Roosevelt that it would b< a costly mistake to forcibly retire Gen Miles, are giving other and more prac tical evidence of their sympathy witl Gen. Miles. For instance, Sennto Hawley, chairman of the Senate com mi tte? on Military Affairs, has intro duced a bill to "increase the efficiency of the army," the most important clausi pf which makeB the lieuteLfint-genera the actual commander of the army instead of the figurehead he nowie and which is clearly intended to be ii the interest et Gen. Miles, by givini the position he holds a better lega statue than it now has. Senator Patterson in a warm speed against what ia known as the Unioi Depot bill, which, he said, in additioi to giving ene corporation a perpetua monopoly in railroad terminal facilitie in Washington, gave it in cash am real estate nearly $0,000,000, took occa sion to put in a word for governmen ownership of public Utilities, a system which, he said, must ultimately prevai or else the power of corporations wil increase until all who dwell in citie will become thoir serfs. Representative Stevens, of Minn, who was recently in Cuba, doesn't en thuse over the prospect of Americai trade with the island. He tells tin following personal experience: "Ther< is a native prejudice in Cuba agoins American goods. At Santiago I met i Philadelphia man traveling for a linei house, and went with him to the va rious merchants of Santiago. Not om of these merchants would consider an: trade with the United States. The; would not examine the goods, thougl the prices were as low and the travel ing man claimed the quality and term as good as wonld be furnished ty European competitors. At Cienfuegoi 1 met a Boston traveling man wh< represented a boot and shoe house Ha had a similar experience. Only on? merchant in Cienf uegos would examin? hie goods. The articles were the bes that could be made and the prices wer? low, but the native taste preferred th< cheap Spanish product." Senator Rawlins, in his speech ogains the Philippine bill, rubbed it.on th Republican Senators, who have ahowi a disposition to avoid listening t< speeches against the bill, when h said: "This bill is fastening on 10, 000,000 people the greatest oligarch: that over existect. It is a crimo and i frightful travesty, ?md while it is bein j discussed Senators slink away to lol in their cloak rooms." Representative Shaffrotb, of Colo, presented some strong arguments t< the House Judiciary Committee ii favor of amending the resolution pro viding for a change in inauguratioi day from March 4 to tho last Thursda; in April, so as to provide for the as Eovnbling of Congress on January V VT JU following the Congressional elections. He thinks that for a Honse to continuo to legislate after a majority of its mem bers nave been turned down by the people, as frequently occurs under present laws, is misrepresentation. Representative Richardson, the Deni I ocratic leader of the House, thinks Congress ought to do something to bring the Beef Trust to book. Heh; introduced a resolution directing the Ways and Means Committee to inves tigate the recent extraordinary rise in the price of meat and provide, if pos sible, some legislative relief.

The State Pension Board was i session last week, and has requeBte the newspapers to publish the follow ing statement. "While the law provides that th pension money shall be disbursed o the first Monday of April of each yea: owing to tho delny on the part of cei tain county pension boards and thei failure to make reports to the Stat board on the first Monday of March, o required by the rules of tho Stat board, the State board has been un able to examine new applications an dispose of them until to-day-thei second meeting. The reports fror some counties have been received sine the 1st of April and the straggling ur plications from counties have beo coming in np to the present; som( in fact, were received by th board today. The members eonipot ing the State board are anxious to die burse this fund at the earliest dat possible, and any delay in disbnrsin the.atme cannot properly be charge to them. It is a fact that if the board had held their meeting the 0th day c April, for instance, which was b yond the date the last regular Iii was received and disapproved, a those applications that were not in du form-several hundred deserving pee people, who, as it io, will receive pen sions, would have been left off the Ul entirely; but tho board having return ed them for correction, the delay cane ed has resulted in their being on."
