C. AUG. lith 1892 Futures and Cations. /-_J- An exceedingly interesting de- ! S bate was recently wir^-d in Cob zress over Senator W-^mura's bill | "" ' 0 1 to^revent future contracts in the staple crops of the country The a; ! - gument of Senatojj While, of Louis iana", is acknowledged to be the j ablest delivered on the question. It: is certainty impressive and shows a complete mastery of the subject. (^?^fe^contends that the making of "* contracts for future delivery coun-i ? teracts tbe tendency to glut -the market and abnormally depress the prices. A. large part of the crop being contracted for beforehand ?j and the price fixed, based upoa the g best judgment o; the commercial world as*o the outlook gathered by reports from everywhere, comes ppon the market, not seeking a j* buyer, but already pro vide 1 for. A great manV tables, exhibiting ?;?. the courte of price* for fifty, both before and since tbe future system sprung up, are produced to show ' jx ?' that the effect of tne system is'to regulate prices and keen them f more uniform. There is great \ i \ plausibility in tfc^s position and' ! the effect of the argument such * that the Senate passed over the \ measure till the next session. i WHboijt having a definite jopin ? ion Object/ the vftwi <^f tbe opponents of this bill are so strik- j ing, that it seems to us very dcubt- j fol that il "from the debate question.

'?M)\ President," said the eccentric John Randolph, of Roan oke* #ie great Virginia statesman, interrupting himself in one of his Senatorial diatribes ? k,I have discovered the philosopher's stone. It consists ot fjur short wo.ds of homely English ? PAY AS YOU GO." t ^ . IIow many people to-day would be letter off ifvthey would take the above advice. There is certainly no honor and slorv * , !?? t in having your name on any merchants hooks. Thousands of mtn have been compelled to pay tor go >ds they never received, simply because th**v pui an account. S P o T CASH Is the wiiy we conduct our busines&vand we expect to travel that way in the future or elo;e the doors. 1 We are d<>ing something that lias never been attempted in Camden .before, and it affords us inucli pleasure to stilly that we are making a success of it. Low prices will d;aw every time and our spot cash system en abltsjus to give }ou goods fr< m twenty-five to fifty per cent, low er than these lung-winded ciedit fellows. We do not Rave to make up on you what we lose on some one else. You a 1 know that this is true, for yoyr old grand daddy was caught just the same way. and so will you be jus* a* lon^ as you Hflck to that miserable, rursed credit folly, or xx o ru jej s V y. jga No man on this green >artFi frys harder to conduct his busft llfiiSi^iCre honorable than we do. W'e^ have had it [honesty] (1 rille(TTn?%i^||^Mhe cr a d 1 e . Our ^ood old m.t her always said "be limn il "T \imi undertakings and Fuccess will come to vou." We do not believe in these dirt v. mean little tricks that are practiced bv. so many merchants now-n-Uays. II we can not trade with yon upon hon-st principles we do not enre to trade with you at all. You can rely upon us every time: we are too well known to the people of Kershaw county, for them to have any doubts ot this. We inmguiated this CASH SYSTEM Simply, because it is the only way of conducting an honest bus iness on business principles. No man can afford to purchase his good^on credit simply because he receives a little time ? pay day comes just as sure as the sun sets. No merchant can afford to gitfe his goods away, somebody must pay the bad debts ? and that somebody miy be you. Shun these two or three price fellows, thle^tart ycu at a dollar and come down to fifty cents. Is that honest? Is that doing business on the square? Our way is one square. fViir price to aU, big and lit tlf, rich and poor. No merchant on :his earth fcan sell goods any lower than we do unless he steals his goods. We buy where we can secure the lowest prices, planking down the almightx dollar? which gives us the benefit of spot prices, and big dis counts, all of which we give our customers the benefit of. There never was a grander piece of rascality practiced on the purchas ingqpmblic than this one day Bargain Day business. You may think you are buying chcap, go back the next day and pay two prices on your next purchases. Every day is bargain day with us. We keep nothing but bargains all the time. Nearly every article in our store is sold at a less price than you can buy else where. This question w;is once asked of one of New York's most suc cessful business men: How can a man receive happiness, good health and riches? "First, fear your God; second, keep your bowels open; third, pay cash for what you buy." * Mighty good advice? and three very necessary essentials t"> make life on this, j^arth what it should be. *r . The almighty dollar is a^owerful levejrr It is something we are nil striving for, and tht^jnly way Ho pile them dp is to save ? heitGe you must buy your go^ds for. cash. It is not what 4 man makes that makes him rich, it is what he saves. f\ lait is just what \Ve are offering you every day ? an opportunity to save, . We want your trade a:id wc believe we are entitled to it, be cause we are working for your interests. We want every man, woman and child Ir. Kershaw ceunty to n.ake our store the^r headquarters when they come t-o Camden. It will be a pleasure lor us to do anything we possibly can for them. . We do not sell paper bottom shoes, second hand clothing and 1 such trash. "-If that is the stuff* you are looking lor go some where else to do your trading. Remember we do a spot cish business only, do not credit any body, makes no difference who they are. Do not ask tte for credit, it is disagreeable to us, for we must decline. Remember us this Fall when you come tc town; you are the loser every time you pass us by. We will sell goods cheap and nobody can keep us from it. Rock bottom, spot cash always. VERY TRULY, TAtLOB ?
