between five and six thousand
bales, but the crop will be short

holding for ten cents. Saturday
the staple reached nine cents.
The citizens of Pickens have

Mrs. V. A. Ferguson died on
the 19th inst., at the home. of1
he l sa.nd, Var ry FrN*i-,
after a lingering illness of seve
ral months' duration, aged about
65 years. Mrs. Ferguson was a
daughter of the late Jesse E1bs,i
and was a consecrated Chri?tian

mother and a faithful friend.

leave next 'week to work on the

half per cent. grade sduth an4
one per cent. north. Its cars
wvill have twice the capacity of
our l(ading Southern roads and
its locomotives will pull twice
the number of cars. Harriman is
building this new trunk line and
the company only . asks of the
sections it penetrates the good
will and friendship of the people.
This line will make of Spartan
"burg a great city and greatly
benfit our entire section. This
r'ailway company owns large
coal fields and it is predicted that
the price wvill be reduced $1.50
per ton.
The Atlantic Electric Co., of
Greenville, S.'C., which is builld
lng the plant for Pickens, sounds
a timely note of warning in the
Sentinel-Journal, andlwhich our
citizens should read and heed.
When properly controlled elec
tricity is one of our greatest mod
ern utilities; but when taompered
with by unskilled men is both a
menace and danger. A mnispla
ced wire may .cause the loss of
your building or perhaps a more
extended conflagration. Do not
trust your work to any hobo so
called "electrician," 'but give
such canvasters a cold potatoe
and call your,yai'd dog. To se
cure connections and safe and
satisfactory. service yeu must
first consult the Atlantic Electric
Co., that is putting in this plant
and therefore responsible for its
successful and satisfactory oper
ratlom Then you are sure tohe
right' and*'can diahea'.

late, when there had been Breaks in Prices. I found sellers
anxious to sell, and offering extra inctcemetits to cash buyers.

means you can buy your dry goods for less money than you
did last year. My prices will be based on 8c cotton. No
more 7c. for calico but the best branded goods wlli be sold for
5c. Goods that sold last season for 1 2 %c. and 1 5C. now x oc.,
