Sau P. Racf For Mayor.
Since the announcement several
days ago that Mayor John J. Taylor
would not stand for re-election in the
approaching election, the friends cr
Mr. Sam P. 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. Bickley.
A stronger and a more competent
council could not be found andi it is
v understood that the above ticket will
be elected without opposition.

Mimnaugh's The Big Store.
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.

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

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.

whether it be plowing in the red hills

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.
