Letter to ?. J. George.
Lexington. S. C.
Dear Sir: "He's a very good man
as men go, he's only about fifteen per
cent tricky."
What do you think of that?
There are eight paints not-adnlterated
and full-gallon; there are more
than two-hundred in all; some adulterated
threequarters, some two-thirds,
some half, onetbird, a quarter; and,
when you get down to fifteen per cent,
they seem very good as paints go;
they're only about fifteen per cent
tricky.
How much is it fair to cheat in a
gallon, by measure; and how much
by water in milk; or whitiDg. chinaclay,
ground ston?, barytes, benzine,
and water, in paint? Fifteen is the
least; it isn't worth while to cheat for
less than fifteen; they seem to think
so anyhow. Maybe, it isn't worth
while at all.
Devoe is the strongest of all. A
gallon goes further: 10 gallons Devoe
is enough for a job that takes 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 IS 10 20 21 22 of the rest;.
and a gallon costs $5 when painters are
paid.
Now reckon the costs. Devoe $50;the
rest $55 $60 $65 $70 and so on.
How long will they wear? The
strongest wears longest, of course.
Is it worth while to cheat when an
honest paint costs least and wears
longest?

The forty-first annual state fair, to be ^
held iu Columbia November 1 to 6, promises to
be the best in the history of the South
Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical So- *
eiery. Not only are the premiums offered 1
larger than ever before, but the officers of 1
Ihe organization have arranged a program i
that will bring hundreds of visitors from

This was one of the features last ^

Another feature last year was the bench

W. D. Batss's Big Sale.
Perhaps no merchant of Columbia,
ias made greater strides along the
ine of progress during the last few
ears than has W. D. Bates, the man
vho ''sells it for less." During the
ast few weeks n- has made a change
11 his store which, for convenience
tnd attractiveness, is unexcelled.
Che large petition has been removed
mdthe buiiding transformed into one
nam moth store room.
Going into business in Columbia a
;ew years ago in a rented building Mr,
Bates has gradually grown in favor
with the people until today he owns
fciis own store honse and carries a
3tock of goods second to none in the
Carolinas. With no rents to pay Mr.
Bates announces that he is in position
to sell goods cheaper than ever before.
Bates success from the jump has been
nothing short of phenominal.
Reared on the farm and being possessed
with a world of pluck, energy
and determination, he is always seeking
those things which pleases his
customers most. Bates has always
made it a rule to sell goods at a small
margin of profit, realizingjthat is it far
better to make quick sales and small
profits than it is to have old goods on
the shelves.
Bates bought ail domestics, he says,
long before the rise in cotton, and will
save you money on every purchase,
whether large or small. He has just
returned from New York, the greatest
trading center in the North, where he
scooped in thousands of dollars worth
of seasonable goods at prices far below
their real value, and he is offering
these goods at prices that will
cause his competitors to look on in
amazement. Bates is a clever buyer,
and has plenty of cash to back up his
purchases. He has a $50,000 stock to
make your selections from, and you
will find everything that is new, stylish
and up-to-date.
Big Ten Days' Sale.
In order to give his thousands of
customers the benefit of the many
har?ains he has recently acquired,
Bates has decided to inaugurate a big
ten days's sale. This sale begins this
morning, as will be seen by reference
to the big advertisement on another
page, and if you need anything now,
or expect to need anything any time
soon, it will pay you to go to this big
Bale, and go right now, for when Bates
announces that he is going to put on
a special sale there is always a mighty
rush, a stupendous race for his store.
It means a saving of many thousands
of dollars ,to the people. That the
sale which starts to-day will outclass
all previous sales, is not doubted.
It is not often that a merchant puts
on a sale just at this season?right at
ihe beginning of fall when trade injall
Jne9 is brisk. But Bates, who purchased
his stock before the ri9e in the
price of all fabrics, can afford to giye
lis customers the benefit of his buyng
genius.
In thi9 sale you can buy dry goods,
lotions, shoes, hats, ladies* suits,
ikirts, waists, millinery, men's suits
indpants, in fact everything for men,
vomen and children. If you miss
ihis big sale you'll lose moneyGo
to Bates and tell him that you
ead about hi9 big ten days' sale in
Che Disphtch and its dollars to-doughluts
that you will get goods cheaper
han you have ever bought them beore.
Auction Sale of Town Lots.
Next Wednesday, October 27th,
?has. W. Cromer & Co., of Columbia,
vill conduct a big auction sale of tots
n this town. The property is that of
}ol. G. T. Graham and is located in
me of the most beautiful as well a9
lealthful localities in town. This
>roperty will be sold, regardless of
>rice, to the highest bidder on very
iasy terms. This is undoubtedly the
greatest opportunity the people of
his section will ever have to buy deirable
town property, and it goes
rithout saying that there will be a
arge crowd in attendance. Read the
>ig ad and don't forget the date.
