BY CLHSTKSCALES & LANGSTON.
The Statement is made a Hundred Times a Day
if
vr
. - JLl OW, thi8 is all wrong in every sense that it is intended to convey?what would
yon call it ? I claim it is untrue, and I consequently brand it as false.
Of coarse a man can sell his goods for half what they cost, cr give them away
if he wants to. Bot it appears to me this town is not very well slocked with the
half-cost or giving away kind of merchants. Goods disposed of in this manner
are hard to find.
? - Ever since the Indian warrior roamed at will through the ancient forests of
Carolina the trader's and merchant's object was always to get as much as he could
. for bis goods. Bat now, at the closing of the nineteenth century, during which
science and art have made such wondrous strides, all these old fogy systems have
been gradually crowded out, and in a few years will permanently disappear from
the mercantile records of this generation.
Now, the perplexing question of the hour with me is, How low can I sell and
live? When this will be accomplished I know I will commence rapidly to ascend
the ladder that leads to success. People may hold back and be a little cautious for
a time, bat my sledge hammer prices will work like magic in the end, and my Store
being strictly a?
" ONE-PRICE STORE,"
It is gaining ground as rapidly on the others as an Express train on an old stage
. coach.
Advertise I Advertise I Advertise 1 The public have been fooled bo long by
flaming advertisements they have justly lost confidence in them and scarcely read
them, because the parties advertising never do what they claim in their advertise?
ments, but I herewith strike the bogus advertiser a home lick, and offer
A REWARD OF TEN DOLLARS
To any person that can prove I do not sell just what I advertise. I also offer a
reward of Ten Dollars to any person that can match the following matchless prices,
for they are stunners:
Pretty Calicoes at 3$c. sold elsewhere for 5c,
Good Calicoes at 44c, sold elsewhere for G.]c.
Beautiful Calicoes at 5c, sold elsewhere for 8c.
Nice .Torchon Lace at 1c, sold elsewhere for 2*c.
Nice Torchon Lace at l$c, sold elsewhere for 3Ac.
Nice Torchon Lace at 2$c. sold elsewhere for 5c.
BestPins, "needle points," at 2c, sold elsewhere for 5c.
Best Sewing Needles at 2c, sold elsewhere for 5c.
Prices like these strike terror into the hearts of other merchants, as high prices
have received their death blow, and people who want to buy are happy. Bead on
488 Buttons for 5c, sold elsewhere for 20c.
Hairpins for lc, sold elsewhere for 5c..
Yardwkle Sheeting for 5c, sold elsewhere for 7c.
Irish Linen Towels?my importation?at 10c, 12>}c, 15c, 20c, 22?c,
sold elsewhere at 20c, 25c, 80c, 35c, 40c.
Irish Linen Napkios and Dc&iies'at 75c, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 per
dozen, would be considerad-?jisap>^l3e^eT^for double the money,
My Linen.Ta~Ele Damask will beautify any dining room at or little over half
' the price>5sked in other Stores.
My Black and Colored Henriettas and Cashmeres should be Been to be appre?
ciated. They are marvels of beauty.in richness of shade and superb finish, and
the.only thing that is wrong with them is the price, which is 25 per cent less than
'they can be bought in the up country. I import these., goods myself, and therein
lies the mystery. My stocks of?
(nothing, Hats, Shoes, Overcoats and Jackets
Are immense. Iu these goods you can save from 10 per cent on coarse Brogans to
35 per cent on Clothing.
Dress Goods in all the Fashionable Shades,
And prices from 5c per yard up, with trimming to match, are much admired by all
, ladies of cultivated tastes who have examined my stock, and to examine is simply
to purchase.
Ladies and gentlemen of good taste who are in need of something stylish and
fashionable at much less than it can be bought elsewhere, need never leave the
Store, of

Belton, 8. C, Nov. 11, 1890.
IT was stated a few weeks ago that several
families wished to come to Belton.
Some to go into business, and others to
get the advantage of better school facilities,
but as there was no homes to rent thoy
could not come. I have also heard it
stated that there is no vacant lots for sale.
Now, I will relieve this trouble, to some
extent, by offering for sale two lots, one
containing twenty-five acres, eight in cul?
tivation, one in meadow, remainder in for?
est and nice building site on Williamston
Street?all inside incorporation.
One tract containing about sixty acres,
thirty in cultivation, four in meadow and
remainder in forest. This place has a
comfortable tenant house; also a nice
place to build on public road. Now if
this strikes you in the right place and you
want further particulars, you can call on
or address me at Belton, S. C.

A trip to the all-healing spring8.
Me. Editor : On my return trip from
the Synod of South Carolina, I took
in a flying visit to the All-Healing Insti?
tute, for the education of Southern white
girls. The All-Healing Springs are lo?
cated near King's Mountain, in North
Carolina. These springs, five in number,
are celebrated for their medicinal proper?
ties, such as white sulphur, iron, &c.
The entire property, land, buildings, &c,
was purchased some years ago by a
wealthy gentleman from Minnesota, by
the name of Jones, and beneficiently en?
dowed 83 a Female Seminary for the ed?
ucation of white Southern girls, in the
higher branches of intellectual training,
whose parents may be unable to send
them to the higher educational institu?
tions of the country, by reason of the
heavy expenses incurred. This institu?
tion has been appropriately denominated
"Jones'Seminary," as a living testimonial
to the generosity of its great benefactor.
The prices of tuition and board has been
reduced to the lowest minimum, only
eight dollars per month, and now over a
100 girls, mostly from the middle classes
of society, are now filling the halls of
learning of this noble institution. The
mental and moral training of these pupils
are committed to the care of Rev. C. A.
Hampton, with hiB noble coterie of fe?
male assistants, five in number. The
whole school occupies toward the princi?
pal and his amiable wife, the relation of
one large family, boarding and Btudying
together, under their parental supervision.
Strange to say, of this large number of
girls, there is but one servant employed
to wait on them, and he a colored boy
about 15 years old. The girls are requir?
ed in this institution to do all the house?
work themselves, taking it by turns, in
squads. And all this minutia of work,
study, and sleep, or rest and recreation,
is under a complete system of control, by
the principal and his wife. Every item
of study and work and recreation is ar?
ranged by the President, in the most sys?
tematic manner. The Sabbath, especial?
ly, is observed in the most reverent and
pious manner. No visitation allowed,
but all the school required to meet in the
chapel at 10 o'clock a. m. for preaching,
or expository services, followed immedi?
ately by Sabbath School services. Din?
ner at half-past 1 o'clock, and then pray?
er meeting at 4 p. m., attended only by
the girls, and led by one of their own
number. And this strict moral oversight
is continued throughout the entire week.
No communication is allowed with the
outside world, except through parents,
brothers and sisters. This moral train?
ing is of the first importance and then
due preparation is made for an equally
rigid and strict intellectual training.
One basic principle governs all the stud?
ies?the pupil is never advanced to a
higher study until they have thoroughly
mastered those in band. Due regard is
had for the recreation of the pupils, in
music, Bioging and other innocent
amusements, although we heard of no
calisthenic exercises, as we suppose the
daily physical exercises required, in
cooking, washing, cleaning of rooms,
making up beds, &c, will be amply suf?
ficient to develop the bodily frame.
Mr. Hampton informed us that he ad?
vises only a course of three studies at
once, but always including reading and
spelling as an adjunct to every course.
Indeed, Mr. Hampton regarded the much
neglected practice of correct reading, as
one of paramount importance in all the
phases of education. So you perceive in
the corriculum of the Btudies of All
Healing Institute, the heart, the head, and
the hand are all trained so as to bring out
from that institution Christian womeu,
eqjipped for all the realities of human
life. Although endorsed by Northern
capital, and taught by Northern teachers,
we have no hesitation in recommending
the institution to the patronage of our
Southern friends. Hid away in the
shadow of the mountains, Bhut out from
the temptations of city life, there is ab?
solutely nothing to direct the attention
of the girls, from their intellectual, moral
and physical prosperitv.

"Why Eggs Spoil.
In reply to the query, "Why do eggs
spoil? " American Cultivator says:
"Whenever a fertilized egg is raised
to a temperature of 92 dega. the hatching
proceaa begins, and when temperature
falls much below this point the process
ceases. These conditions are found in
the warm days and cool nights of summer.
During the long, hot-days the hatching
process is at work; during the short, cool
night it ceases. After three or four al?
terations of this kind the embryo chick
die3 and the rotting process begins. Now
it is evident that if the eggs were not
fertilized the hatching would not begin.
Neither would the rotting, and hence
there would be an absence of rotten eggs.
The remedy, therefore, is to prevent fer?
tilization of the eggs, and this can be
done by the destruction of roosters. Ev?
ery rooster not intended especially for
breeding should be killed or sold to the
huckster as soon as big enough to eat.
Not over one good rooster should be kept
on any farm, and that one cooped and
mated with not to exceed ten hens, and
the eggs from those hens should be kept
or sold expressly for hatching. The
other hens should be kept especially for
eggs for market or table use, and no
rooster should ever be allowed among
them."_
Old Nursery Favorites.
There was Tom, the Son of the Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
Aud the Three Wise Men of Gotham,
Who went to sea in a bowl,
The woman who ?ode on a broomstick,
And swept the cobwebbed Bky,
And the boy who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some of the old favorites,
but they have been supplanted by the
"Pansy" and "Chatterbox" stories, "Lit?
tle Lord Faunterloy," and "Five Little
Peppers." The old fashioned pills and
physics have been superseded, aud wise?
ly, too, by Pierce's Purgative Pellets, a
mild, harmless and effective cathartic.
They are pleasant to take?so gentle in
action that tbc most delicate child can
fake them, yet so efl'ective that they will
cure the most obstinaate cases of consti?
pation, stomach, liver and bowel troubles.
They should be in every nursery. As a
gentlo laxative, only one for a dogo,

BILL ARP'S CHAT.
Atlanta Constitution.
"Let no*- him boast who putteth his
armor on like him who taketh it off,"
"Let those laugh who win," "He laughs
best who laughs last," and other maxims
to that effect. We have had a little epi?
sode up here in the mountains, and the
way it has turned out it looks like some
of us laughed at the wrong time. But it
is all over now, and we can all laugh,
except those sanguine individuals who
staked their greenbacks and lost. They
are not yet calm and serene. It is right
hard on a feller to lose his man and his
money, too. If a man will bet on an
election, I have always thought he ought
to bet against his desires, and then if he
wins he has got his money, and if he
loses he has got his man, and so comes
down easy.
Well, it did look like the old doctor
had everything in a swing around here
and all along the railroad for 130 miles.
Just think of a congressional district 130
miles long, and a great railroad splitting
it in two, and sixteen towns along the
line, and the city of Rome red hot be?
sides, and almost everybody hollering for
Felton. "He is bound to win," said his
friends, "the devil can't beat him," and
so they staked their pocketbooks until
they were empty, and they are empty
still.
But these farmers?"these Alliance
men"?they made no noise, they kicked
up no dust, they waited until they could
see the whites of the enemies' eyes, and
then they fired all along the line. The
woods were lull of them. Where did
they all come from 7 It reminded me of
the old _ times when Dr. Miller used to
run against Lumpkin in this same dis?
trict. They Btumped it together, p.nd
had big barbecues, and the sovereijTjs
came out by the thousand and eat the
meat and drank*the eloquence, for Dr.
Miller had as much reputation then as
Dr. Felton has got now, and he was call?
ed the Demosthenese of the mountains.
Lumpkin was a big, beefy, thick-tongued
man and couldn't elocute very much, but
he was a democrat, while Dr. Miller was
a whig. He made Lumpkin Bick on
every stump?so sick that sometimes
when he had the conclusion he wouldent
take it, and the boys all shouted for Mil?
ler, and toted him around like the old
Virginians used to tote Patrick Henry.
Good gracious, what a racket they made,
but when election day came the wool
hats came slipping out from their log
cabins and hollow logs, and from under
the clay roots and other hiding places,
and just everlastingly auowed the doctor.
I hadent forgotten those memorable cam?
paigns, and henceldident bank my faith
in a sanguinary manner upon Dr. Fel
ton's success. I kept one ear open to
hear something drop, and it dropped.
But we can all laugh and rejoice now,
for there are bigger things than the
seventh district. The nation is safe, and
that is victory enough to satisfy anybody.
We did think that we were just obliged
to have Dr. Felton in coDgress to fight
the impending battle, and lead the forces
and electrify the democracy, and swing
his Damascus blade and put in his halle
lula licks and save the nation, but the
news of our victories have come over us
like the sounds of many waters, and hope
has revived and freedom has quit shriek?
ing, and now maybe we can get along
without the doctor. Maybe we can. 1
expect the old man Eloquent has fought
his last fight, and he fought it nobly.
He fought to save the pure democracy,
but maybe it is not to be saved. I see
that Mr. Gorman, one of the Alliance
leaders, says that democracy is dead and
Republicanism is dead and the people's
party are going to run the machine.
Colonel Polk said that long ago, and so
did Livingston, but it was all smothered
until after the elections. It will come
out now, and it ought to. There are as
many republicans in the Alliance up
north and northwest as there are democ?
rats, and they are obliged to have a new
name. Mr. Gorman is right, and if the
new party will do right that is all we
want- But right now, when the demo?
cracy has won these signal victories, we
think the southern Alliance ought to fall
into line and let the good old dog wag
his tail a little while longer.
But I reckon we will all stand aside
and let the farmers have their own way.
Fighting them don't seem to do any
good.
It is like Colonel Patterson, of North
Alabama, who, at his first battle with the
yankees, was ordered to take his regiment
and charge a battery that was away over
on a hill and wat. throwing an occasional
shell down in the valley. "Boy3," said
he, "you must shoot a chargin', and
charge a shootin', and we'll get 'em."
And they did, but when they got within
about a quarter of a mile the battery
suddenly turned loose a terrific volly of
grape and cannister upon them, which
demoralized the colonel and he waived
his sword and shouted: "Boys quit
Bbootin' at 'em?quit shooting I say, for
it just makes 'em madder."
We will just quit shooting at the far?
mers, and if they can get the subtreasury
and run it, let thorn do it, If they can't,
then let them get something better. Let
us all wait and see. If the good old
democratic party has got to die, let them
kill it. Our Georgia farmers are not in
any desperate condition and will do
nothing rash or unreasonable. They
are better off thau they were a year ago.
The tax returns ;ind the cameled mort?
gages prove that. The fat-iers of Bartow
were never in so prosperous a condition.
Just contrast them with the farmers of
Kansas, where, out of 7G,000 farms,
69,000 are under mortgage. Just think
of that. And 2G.000 of these mortgages
have been foreclosed, and the farmers
who once owned them are tenants at will,
liable to be turned out at any day. What
is the matter there? If the laws are op?
pressive, why don't the same laws bring
ruin here, too? There is not but
one farm in twenty-four that has a mort?
gage upon it in Bartow County. What
is the cause of this great and alarming
difference between the farming interests
of the North and the South ? Why is it
that Maine and New Hampshire and
Vermont have been partially abandoned
by the farmers ? Why h it that so many
of the farms in New York and Illinois,
Kansas and Missouri are under mort?
gage ? I wish that we did kuow. It it
is the laws, please let us know what laws.
And this remiuds me of what I have
just read in the Andover JRcview for No?
vember* It is the organ of New England
orthodoxy. It is now lamenting the de?
cay of religious interest among the farm?
ing population of the north. ~ Dr. Dun?
ning says that there are ninety-five towns
in Maine where no religious services are
held, and there are more country villages
in Illinois without the gospel, than iu
any other State in the union. Just
think of that 1 The great Slate of Illi?
nois that has two Counties that make
more grain than all Georgia. This great
State that stands fifth in the scale of ed?
ucation, and fortieth in the grade of
religion. What do you Bay to this you
advocates for education? Education
regardless of moral training. Dr. Dun?
ning says that the Presbyterians have
1,200 churches without pastors, aud the
Baptists have over 10,000 ! Nearly all
of these vacant churches are in the coun?
try town3, where farming is the principal
occupation of the people. They once had
pastors or religious services, but not^ now.
The number of educational men in the
northern pulpits is steadily decreasing,
and the young men who aro graduatiug
in the theological seminaries are seeking
other callings because there are no invit?
ing fields for them to work in. The city
churches aro full, and the country
churches will not pay enough to keep
body and soul together.
The fact is that farmers whoso hornet
V0LU1M
are under mortgage don't take much
stock in preachers or preaching. Noth?
ing bows a man down like debt?a debt
that he knows he can not pay. The best
index of the prosperity and the morality
of a community is the standing of their
preachers. If the people are doing well
they have got preachers, and they pay
them, and they tixup their churches and
take a pride in them. Poor people, poor
pay; poor pay, poor preach, and hence
the young men who want to preach are
discouraged.
But, thank the good Lord for his mer?
cies, this ia not the case at the South.
Our small towns are generally supplied.
You can hardly find one that does not
have preachiog in some church every
Sabbath, and Sunday schools are almost
universal. Go to Pine Log or Euharlee,
or oiu Ccssville, in our County, if you
want to see Sunday schools. These are
all country settlements, and some one of
them always takes the baunc-r at our
union celebration. On the whole, it
does look like our people are prospering
and our sunny South is looming up.
So mote it bo. Bill Aitr.
THE BALANCE OF POWER.
The Farmers' Alliance In Folitics to Stay.
Washington, Nov. 9.?No feature of
the late election has caused more genu?
ine surprise and consternation in the
Republican ranks than the results
achieved by the new element in the poli?
tics of the country?the Farmers' Alli?
ance.
The advent of this new party was hail?
ed with delight by the Republican lead?
ers. They knew its strength would be
mainly confined to the South and trans
Mississippi States. Confident of their
enormous majorities in such States as
Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, they
thought the Alliance could not work
them serious harm, and they viewed the
movement as one well calculated to break
up the existing political lines in the
South. At last, they exclaimed with one
voice, a political force has been found
which will destroy the Democratic solid?
ity of the South and which will split the
Bourbon cohorts in twaiD. How sadly
they deceived themselves the results of
the recent elections fully demonstrate.
While in the Southern States the Alli?
ance men, almost to a man Democrats,
went in to control Democratic primaries
and conventions, their brethren of the
West, largely Republicaus, held aloof
from the old party, and decided to make
their own nominations and go it alone.
The reason for this difference in the pol
I icy of the organization iu the two sec
1 tions was doubtless due to tho fact that
while in the South the Democratic party
was already committed to many of the
principles advocated by the Alliance,
tho Republican party in tho West and
elsewhere was committed to no single
one of them. The Alliance in the South
was satisfied in the main with Democrat?
ic policy, and only aspired to control
that party so as to shape its legislation
in certain directions, but in the West the
Alliance was heartily disgusted with
Republican policy, and it realized that
the record of the party in Congress left
no hope of securing any of the desired
reforms at its hands.
In Alabama the Alliance nearly suc?
ceeded in nominating the Democratic
candidate for Governor. In Georgia,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas it
did succeed in controlling the Demo?
cratic State Conventions and in placing
its men at the head of the tickets, and
they have been elected. In some fifteen
Congressional dietricts in the same
States Alliance Democrats secured the
nomination over "regulars," and in
many others, where they failed, the
Democratic nominees, since elected, are
pledged to the Alliance platform, with
the single exception of the sub-Treasury
scheme. In at least two States, Georgia
and South Carolina, it is believed the
Alliance will control the selection of the
United Ststea Senator. The Alliance in
the South has not injured tho Democrat?
ic party; it has mere dominated its nom?
inations in certain localities.
How different the result in the West!
In four States hitherto regarded as veri?
table Gibraltars of Republicanism the
Alliance has fairly overwhelmed the
Republican ticket. In Kansas a Repub?
lican majjrityof S0,000 has eifher en?
tirely or practically disappeared. Five
out of seven districts return Alliance
Congressmen, and the Legislature chosen
will retire Ingalls.
In Nebraska the Alliance has almost
elected the Governor, and at any rate h?.B
compassed the defeat of the Republican
nominee by letting in the Democratic
candidate. Two Alliance men and one
Democrat are elected to Congress. The
Republican party has been, for the time
at ieast, obliterated.
Iu Minnesota, while the Republicans
apparently elect their Governor by an
apology of a plurality, they have virtu?
ally suffered defeat, for as > gainst the
two opposition parties they are in a
hopeless minority, and they have lost the
five Congressmen and the Legislature.
Iu South Dakota tho Alliance contested
with the Republicans on equal terms.
Iu Michigan and Illinois the Alliance
did not put a ticket for State officers in
the field, but the organization has elected
legislative candidates and generally con?
tributed to Republican defeat. It may
hold the balance of power in the Illinois
Legislature and control the election of a
successor to Senator Farwell.
Such is the outcome of the Alliance
movement in the campaign of 1S90.
The deductions therefrom are pertinent.
It has shown itself to be a power in
American politics, and in future elections
it ia likely to be a very important factor.
No political movement has ever shown
such amazingly vitality in such a short
space of time.
As it looks now, the Democratic party
seems likely to be the immediate benefi?
ciary of the Farmer Alliance "idea."
The returns from the West show conclu?
sively that united the Democracy and
the Alliance can carry nearly every large
Western State, and even when running
separate tickets the Alliance draws so
heavily from the Republicans that it
jeopardizes the success of that party in
all the great agricultural States of the.
Mississippi Valley. There is no question
that the Alliance holds the balance of
power to day in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and prob?
ably in the two Dakotas.
Whichever party secures its support is
sure to win in 1S92. Without its sup?
port or with its hostility- the Republican
party is in a hopeless minority. The
States it promises to control have always
been considered Republican strongholds,
and they have been added up iu the Re?
publican columu as certainly as Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi are put in the
Democratic column. With some of these
States voting for a Democratic candidate,
or eveu casting their electoral vote for
an Alliance candidate for President,
New York ceases to be pivotal and the
issue becomes much involved.
The Republican party can hope for
nothing at the hands of the Alliance.
The latterjowes its creation to the pro?
tective tariff policy of the g. o. p. and
to its indifference to the needs of the
masses. Its aim is to alter and annul the
very legislation in which the Republican
party avers its absolute belief.
The Democratic party is much nearer
to the Alliance iu its sympathies and
tendencies. Both advocate tariff reform
and low taxes. Both are against mo?
nopolies and trusts. The thing which
will be likely to keep them apart is the
now famous "Sub-Treasury scheme,"
which would make a pawnshop of the
United States Treasury. This "Alliance
article of faith" is somethiug the Demo?
cratic party never can and will endorse.
DE XXV.--NO. 20.
It is one of the wild schemes which al?
ways arise to mar reform movements,
and it seems to be very dear to the Alli?
ance heart. It remains to be seen wheth?
er the Alliance members in the Fifty
second Congress will make the adoption
of this project the price of their support.
Had they held the balance of power,
they would doubtlessly have done so, but
as it is, the Democracy, with its monster
majority, is independentof them, were they
threo times their present number. Still
the Alliance is likely to figure for some
years to come in the politics of the coun?
try, and it is not unlikely that its adher?
ents may control the United States Sen?
ate at ? not very distant day. Under
such circumstances it will unquestionably
make itself felt in the political arena, and
for some time it promises to be a quanity
not to be despised or ignored.?Ncxo York
