Roof have urged him to become a candidate. That he has decided to let his name be used will be received with genuine pleasure by his friends here and elsewhere. There is no more popular young man in this entire section than Sam P. Roof. As manager of his father's great department store he has been eminently successful and has won for himself an enviable position in the business world. Energetic, progressive and capable, it goes without saying that he will make a fine executive officer. The following gentlemen have been suggested for aldermen, each of whom arc well known and popular: Thos. P. Meefcze, Samuel B. George, H. N. Kaminer, Chas. A. Geiger, C. E. Leaphart and Capfc. J. J.

Mimnaugh's?the big department store in Columbia?has never presented such a busy scene as at present. Ever since the early fall began people have come from far and near to get a glimpse of the new ideas, the new fashions and the new styles, which j are always in evidence at this store in advance of the season. Somehow, and in some manner unknown to the writer, the Mimnaugh store has this season made the greatest showing it ha9 ever made. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the genial owner, Mr. John L. Mimnaugh, has just exerted a little more energy, and has put some more of his hardearnod cash to working, in conjunction with his big brain and sound business judgment. Years ago Mr. Mimnaugh saw in Columbia a brilliant future, and he has kept pace with the city's rapid progress by adding to his mammouth storerooms year by year. During the present year he has completed an annex, wnieh makes his store the largest and most complete department store in the Carolinas. In anticipation of the completion of this great annex, and before the price of fall goods made an advance, Mr. Mimnaugh stole away to the great fashion marts of the north and east, where, with an unlimited bank account, he purchased for spot cash, thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of fall goods. Opening^ has sui s been crowdedjw linery is the best e leading styles, s lion centers of this you will find just t prices. Come h< QIIITQ A 0 w \ Department has a.ttra i.

The prices at Mimnaugh's j are always most reasonable, and you j can secure a hat here at great savings. I Suits, suits, suits, never saw the j like of suits in all the days of my life, not even at Mimnaugh's. Such beautiful styles, such lovely colors, such graceful cuts, has never been brought ! to Columbia, and the prices are won-! derfully cheap. The clothing, gent's j turmsmng ana snot; department cue full to overflowing. We saw suits at Mimnaugh's the other day that actually made us feel like thirty cents, because they were marked at such prices that it seems like any man? even a newspaper man?could afford to have a new fall suit. Shoes for every kind of "tootsywootsy." for every kind of occasion, whether it be plowing in the red hills of old Saluda or cutting logs in Sandy Run, whether going to church in Batesburg or attending a dance in New Brookland, and. at prices that are bound to please you. Now, if you don't believe what J tell you about the Mimnaugh store, just go and see for yourself. "Seeiug is believing." If you go to Mimnaugh's and tell him, or any of his clerk's, that you read his advertisement in the Lexington Dispatch, and they don't sell you goods right, we'll pay for lying. Mr. Weeks, general manager, with a large force, of competent and painstaking salespeople, will be ever glad to serve you. Masonics.
