story has the British displaying a white flag over the town. The only thing that was certain about the matter as indicated in the dispatches published Wednesday, was that there had been rt _l*: uguuug. The German steamer Kaiser left Hamburg a few days ago with a cargo of ammunition consigned to the Transvaal. It was the intention of the shippers to have the ammunition landed at Delegoa bay from the shore of which it would be transported to the interior. The British government, however, got wind of the shipment, and for fear of seizure by British cruisers while passing through the Red Sea, the Kaiser unloaded its cargo at Suez. It is understood that another German vessel will reship the cargo and try to carry it on to its destination. The British parliament convened in extraordinary session on Tuesday to consider the Transvaal situation. The speech from the throne said that the condition of affairs in South Africa was the sole reason for calling the extra session, and the most vigorous action was urged. A resolution condemning the course of the government was overwhelmingly voted down 322 to 54, showing that there is but little difference of opinion as to the desirability of conquering the Boers. The Marquis of Salisbury, prime minister, made a speech in which he laid all the blame of the war on the Transvaal government. He said that the Boers desired above all else to get rid of British suzerainty, and that they bad been oppressing the Outlauders with a view to forcing this concession. He claimed that war was entirely in behalf of the liberties of all the whites of the Transvaal. Dispatches of Wednesday, published Thursday morning, indicated an important engagement to come off in the vicinity of Ladysmith, in Natal, south of the Transvaal. General Sir George Stewart White was there with 12,000 men and 46 guns, and the Boers were centering on him from all sides. The British professed that tbey were not at all uneasy about the situation. They did not tbiok that the Boers could bring to bear a superior force, and they also claimed that the country was not especially favorable to Boer tactics. General Joubert, however, has personal command of the Boer forces in the vicinity, and it is probable that be will push the figbtiog with great energy. The papers of yesterday morning publish dispatches from Cape Town, by way of London, which give a rumor to the effect that the Boers met with aD overwhelming disaster at Mafeking. The story is that the Boers attacked Mafeking furiously, and were forced to retreat. The British followed for some distance, when the Boers turned and the British went back. The Boers followed until they were over some mines of Lyddite that had been laid by the British for the protection of the town. The manoeuvers of the British was to get the Boers over these mines, and it is claimed that 1,500 Boers were killed by the explosion. It is quite probable that this story is an invention. The town of Kimberly is now isolated from any hope of immediate help. Railroad bridges have been burned on both sides, and the telegraph wires have been cut. As to whether the Boers have captured the town is not known. Killed His Brother. A. J. Pittman killed his brother, N. T. Pittman, a prominent merchant of Gourdin's station, in the Hotel Calhoun, in Charleston, last Wednesday. The killing was done with a revolver and is supposed to have been caused by a family affair, the exact nature of which is not known. The deceased was about 60 years of age and the slayer about 50. A. J. Pittman was a student in the King's Mountain Military school in Yorkville, in the early seventies. Death of Fagan Martin. Fagan Martin, the Greenville philosopher, died last Thursday aged 78 years. He was a printer by trade; but during the last years of his life lived on a small farm near Greenville. He was a frequent contributor tothe Greenville News, and many of his contributions were characterized by striking force and originality. The old man's last years were passed in extreme poverty, alleviated to a greater or less extent by the contributions of friends and admirers. Greenwood Don't Want It.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of-testimonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY & CO., 0.

Tiiey can't understand how one store like ours can be jambed and crowded with in- ^ telligent and anxious buyers every day in aJ the week. They can't understand why peo- *b pie come for miles to buy our goods. The y* reason is plain and simple and there is 110 secret about it. The people far and wide ^ know that we handle only the best quality mi of goods in all branches of merchandise ?! and that our stocks are always full. They if, know that our goods are JUST WHAT WE ni REPRESENT THEM TO BE, and that if they & should turn out differently they know that it is 110 fault of ours, and that we will cheer- su fully make them just what they should be ?? without muttering and moaning as if our an very life blood was ebbing away. They know c that the great American wnoiesaie nouses ; are jealous of our trade on account of its d?> volume, and they know that we have had *3 experience enough to get all the benefit out of the fact that WE DO BUY IN GREAT P, VOLUMES; and further, that we buy at & prices that they can't, and they know by actual experience that we never quibble or w hesitate about marking our goods at the lowest per centage of profit. They know J that WE BUY BARGAINS and that WE SELL BARGAINS, and in a word they know ne( that we are merchants and whatever is n] to the interest of our customers is to our p* interest also. They know that we don't pat an them on the back with one hand and rob J them with the other. No, they know that WE ARE RELIABLE and they don't care to experiment with those whom they know ? not. They know that we treat everybody _ alike, and that our prices stagger all com- ~ petition. The people know that we can furnish other merchants their goods, and x they know that our prices cannot he shaded. h; They KNOW that we do not have to cut below our marked ^ prices to meet competition. They know that when we offer a discount sale that we mean to give them the profit that we are entitled to. Yes, the people know that our prices are the jus lowest and that our goods are of the highest quality and cot greatest variety, and what more could they expect ? GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE! .i jus We placed our orders with the manufacturers last summer J* for our Gentlemen's Fine Clothing, since which time this class of goods has been steadily advancing until now they are worth from $2 to $4 a suit more than when we bought. nt 1 11 _c i ; j \ u?

NEELY, County Treasurer. September 16 s tf L TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING! rHE following is a copy of a circular letter which is being seut out by one f the largest mercantile establisments f the great northwest to their customers hrougnout the country on the importance f keeping insured against loss by fire: s Dear Sir: During the past few months tie losses sustained by merchants, brough fires, in that part of the country ributary to the St. Louis market, have een so unusually large and disastrous as s suggest to us the advisability of adressing our customers upon the IM ORTANCE of keeping fully insured t all times. Within the past few ,-eeks four of our own customers have 3st their stocks and buildings entire, without insurance, or so nearly so, that tie amount carried was totally inadquate to the risk assumed, and in two r three instances, when the fire came, it /as found that policies for considerable mounts had just lapsed. Men rarely lake a second mistake of this kind, but ae comm onest feature of the first, is be wiplmr out of the results of years of ibor and thrift and leaving those who ommit the folly of eailing to insure, a a position whereby they have to face be world in a condition far worse than .'hen commercial life was first begun, 'hink of the possibilities of having the ruits of 20 years of labor swept away dtbin a few minutes, with no other legay than smoke and ashes and vain regrets ar what might have been prevented by little foresight! To the wideawake, onservative business man, the expense icident to keeping his goods fully insurd is just as legitimate and necessary as bat of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire. Ve may escape the consequences of failre to insure for five, ten or twenty ears, but we are just as certain to be rought ftice to face with it, sooner or iter, as we stay in business: therefore. e say to you, if you are not now inured, attend to It before the sun oes down ! With kindly assurances of regard for nr mutual interests, we are. Very sincerely, your friends, I represent a number of the leading re insurance companies of the world ana in come up to your requirements. L. GEO. GRIST, Agent. P.
