TERMS: ONE YEAR. $1 50 SIX MONTHS-. 75 , The" practical certainty of Democratic snccess* this'fall has had a "serious effect on the temper of the Republican press. The Democracy is having some hard things said "about it:just now, but in view of the triumph that awaits it, it can ? eland it. _ _ ?The week preceding the primary elec? tion South.Carolina Brown consols were quoted at 05 to 96. Since the result of ; the; primary was announced they have ^fallen., to 92J. The fall in State bonds aince 'the election means a loss to the /State of ?150,000. ? f. On the 1st inst. Secretary Hester, of ^'tho: New Orleans cotton exchange, an i ixounced the total -of the cotton crop fl^r i the year ending August 31, 1892. His fig fores showed that the crop had reached an ;enjDrmou3 aggregate of 9,0:15,379 Mies, against 8,352,597 last year,- and 7,211,372 ?year^before last. ?~/.;Biordan'<? Co.., cotton factors of New '? York, say that the farmers have in their riTiands the only remedy for low price cotton. They must bring the production ./ flown to the demand. They think a crop - '-Of slx'and a half million hales this year \ would be all that was needed, but the ? x*por&now point to8,000,000 bales, and that means lower prices. -' mm ? ? The 'Ceremonies attending the dedica? tion of the World's Pair buildings will v take pIacepoC20,21 and 22,1892, atChi l^ago. The'civic celebration occurs the ?- first ? day; the 21st being "Dedication /Day," and the military celebration takes 'place on uhe 22nd. These ceremonies ; -will launoli the Pair, and we hope the voyage wiL be a pleasant and prosperous | one. ' _ A peculiar legal interpretation has been placed, upon the anti-screen liquor law by a Mississippi judge. Tho code abolished bur screens, and- 'the umbrella r^s since been used as a substitute, but now a judge charges the grar i jury that . it is an indictable, offence for a man to screen himself by holding an open um? brella acroai his shoulder while taking a ." drin?k in a saloon. ;, Weaver, the Third Party candidate for ? President, said in a public speech a few /'years ago that the Southern people were guilty of treason, theft and murder, and that Instead of standing up boldly and aaklo'g for their national' rights under this government they should come upon /handed knees, begging forgiveness. No " honest while man in the South can or will give his support to any snch man. It is believed that the Republicans of . Arkansas wj 11 draw their gubernatorial candidate from the race and hurriedly instruct tho Republican campaign mana? gers throughout the State to vote their followers for the people's party candi? date. Arkansas hss not received snch a thorough canvass from all political fac? tions since the war as is now going on-in the State, but William M. Pish back, the Democratic standard bearer, will be ? elected by the usual majority of 25,000. -1? mt n m The Rev. J. P. Bolen, one of the most enterprising farmers of Orangeburg County, has made an experiment of ? tobacco culture this season which has proved a complete success. The half acre which he used will yield about 500 - pounds, which will bring from 20 to 50 cents per pound. He says the land was -well adapted to cotton raising, and the fact that it will produce so large a quan? tity of the weed shows that good cotton .land is the kind for tobacco cnlture. : The following are the total figures by which the State has gone for Prohibition, the. figures for the Counties of George? town and Beaufort only being estimated on unofficial returns. The total vote for TUlman and Sheppard electors . was 87,462, and of this there was polled in the Prohibition boxes 72,246. This, the Pro? hibitionists claim, is much more an ex? pression of the whole people on the sub? ject than they expected. For Prohibition 35,932/against Prohibition 26,452. Ma? jority for Prohibition 9,500. The death of George William Curtis re? moves from political literature the ablest I and most eloquent exponent of Civil Ser? vice Reform. He was a man of the broadent culture and a master of the English language. He was born In .Rhode Island in 1824, but was from : youth up a Hew Yorker. His eloquence 'stirred the Republican Convention in 1860. A few years later he became editor :Of Harper's Weekly, which he kept Re? publican until the Blaine-Cleveland campaign. He was a model type of ^The Scholar in Politics." -:-', ,m.m? ? *? While in Atlanta we had the pleasure and honor of meeting Hon.

TJuo News and Courier's Annual Re? view- of the Trade and Commerce of .Charleston for the commercial year end? ing August 31, Wiis published last Mon I day. ^The Review, as usual, contains full ' statistics of the movement of Charleston's trade in cotton, rice, naval stores, lum fert?izers and phosphates, and a jmplete summary of the wholesale and retail business of the grand old eity in avery department. Despite tho general epression in business everywhere, tho iew makes a remarkable fine show ; for Charleston. It takes big work to )llect the statistics and other informs ; contained in the Review and prepare lern for publica! ion, but the ever old eoliablo Newa and Courier ia equal to any sk it undertakes. Section 3 of an Act to '-Protect Primary Elections and Conventions of political ies," in this Stute, passed at theses of the Legislature of 1S88, reads as "ws: "Every such primary election shall be . at the timo and place, and under the , ilations prescribed by tho rules of the hy, organization or association holding ie same, and tbe returns shall be made id the result declared as prescribed by "irnles, but the returns of the man? ors with the poll lists shall be filed in office of the clerk of court for the >unty in which such election is held ithin four days after the final declara an of tho icault thereof, and shall re? gain there for inspection." The Democratic primary election was eld more than a week ago, but the above iw has not been complied with. Under ie rules of the Democratic party, the >unry Chairmen are responsible under i above law, and tbe penalty for its jfcition. is a- severe one. Why is it, lau Latimer, this law has not been wplied with ? ! SUPPORT THIS DFMOCRATIC NOMINEE. Tho Intklligenceb does not regret that it opposed Gov. Tillinan in_ the late campaign. Tbe editors well knew that in espousing the opposition to him and his methods that they were taking part with a minority against a strong and aggressive majority. In their opinion, however, it was not to the best-interests of the people that Gov. Tillman should be re-elected, and therefore they did what they co*ald to defeat him. That opinion has not undergone a change,* and we beliov-1 the great masses of the people will live to see that our views, the views of the Conservative party, were the safest and most liberal, and that it would have been best for the State if they could have triumphed at this time, as they surely will at some? time in the future. ."Be that as it may, however, we accept the result of the late primary in good faith, and will exert ourselves as vigor? ously to effect the election of the Demo? cratic nominees in November as we did to defeat Gov. Tillman and his party within the last few months. We have regarded the recent contest as a trial of strength between Demoorats within the Democratic party, which was to be decided by a free ballot and a fair count at a Democratic primary, and that the decision there reached was to be final. So believing, we .yield to the wishes of the majority of the party as expressed by the ballots cast on tbe 30 th ult. As we would have wanted all Dem? ocrats to fall in ranks to a man and sup? port the Conservative candidates' in case they had received the nomination, so we urge all Democrats to put forth their best efforts to insure the election of the Dem? ocratic nominees in Novomber, and thereby uphold not only Democratic but white supremacy and control in our State. Our opposition to Gov. Tillman and his coat-tail Bwingers has been construed by some as hostility to the interest.of tbe farmers. To those who have read our paper without prejudice we "need hardly say that such an assumption is unwar? ranted. For instance, Gov. Tillman advocates a $3.00 poll tax. We' do not believe a majority of the farmers of the State are with him on that, nor are they with him in- desiring the repeal of the lien law and a property and educational qualification for Voters. Had ho consult? ed them they would have advised against the free passes and free freights. I They do not endorse his profanity, nor j do they approve of his malignant r.ccuea tions and abuse of men they know to be aa honest and upright as he is. Many of the farmers see that he is an v. mbitious and designing politician who b as ridden their movement solely in his own inter? ests and ha3 nearly destroyed tbe useful? ness of the organization, especially in so for as tbo original purposes for which it was effected is concerned. Opposition to Tillman is by no means hqstility to the interests of the farmers. We have said nothing during the campaign that waa cot sustained by facts, and nothing has been prompted by personal motives, likes or dislikes. We are notconsoious that we are due any man an explanation or an apology, and do not think any man expects one. Under similar conditions we would act and talk very much aa we have done. But in so for as wo can we had better quit the past and look to the future. White men are divided, and the safety of the Democratic party is endangered. Republicanism and negro domination threaten us. Let, us unite as white men and as Democrats, work for our common peace and prosperity and the triumph of the Democracy, National and State, in the November elections. Let us again be friends and brethren and united Democrats. Threats of third partyism in national politics are being made. Third partyism in our State will make a victory for the Republicans possible. We know the grievous yoke Republicanism imposes, especially if it captures the State govern? ment. It is the duty of good Democrats to fight third partyism ho less than Re? publican! sm. It should be crushed in its incipieney. The cholera has reached England, and a number of fatal cases are reported, A rigid quarantine has been proclaimed In all our Atlantic ports, and if some in? fected persons come from Europe tbey j will not be permitted to land and so spread tbe contagion. The disease seems to be of the most virulent character, and the percentage of deaths is very large.. The most stringent measures, even to ! temporary' non-intercourse, 'should be adopted to prevent the disease gaining a foothold in this country. A Card. Tillman Voters : I regret to address you again through the papers, but if you knew all the facts I think you would agree that what I have to say i3 not out of place. While I have tried to conduct this campaign on a high and honorable plan, with fairness both to my opponents and tho voters, relying on my own merit and qualifications for the office, still it seems that tb?re are people who are determined that worth and merit shall have no place in this election. Consequently, false reports and mislreading and deceptive statements have been made for tbe pur? pose of accomplishing my defeat. For instance, people who went to the polls with my name on their tickets wer? told that if my name was put on a ticket with Tillman electors on it, the ticket would not be counted, and the voter would thus ^ose his vote. Because as it was oharg?d I was run? ning on tbe Conservative ticket. This is not true, and the people who usad it to deceive voters know- it is not true. They know that I have refused to run on either ticket, preferring to make the race on my own fitness for the office I seek. Many came to nie before the election and told me I was right in my position, j but since the election some of these same ' fellows have come to me, and said i;hey could not support me on account of tbe position I took. They advised me to take that position, and not one of them had the manhood to come to me before the election and tell what they have said since. If these men had como to me before the election and told me that I would have had to take certain positions in order to get their votes, and I had then refused to take those positions, there might have been some excuse for their course. But as it is they have not treated me lairly, and I appeal to tbe people to rebuke such deception. The question of Slate politics is now settled, and since I have been told by hundreds of the voters that I am the best qualified man for the place, and that the County owes it to me, I only ask that if you feel that you can't help me, please do not work or vote against me. It is your office, hut please remember that when you defeat me you defeat one who has always worked in your interest, and one who has merited from no voters of this County anything but kindness, Yours obediently, Nelson R. Queen. - . ?a > ?? - A Second Primary, Headquarters State Dem. Ex. Committee, Columbia, S. C, Sept. 2,1802. In obedience to the constitution of the Democratic party of South.

Wild, Eamor? About the Purposes of the People's Party. Hugh. C. Middlcton,in Augusta Chronicle, September 1. Pass into South Carolina and talk and you will soon get a good understanding of the political situation there. Every [ body talks politics in the State, and you will therefore have little trouble as you proceed in studying the situation. As you go you will meet men of as many variod views and, interesting to know, varied political tendencies?that is to? wards varied parties?almost as Joseph's coat had many colors. Five years ago this was not the cose. The Democratio party was as strong-footed then in South Carolina as the Blue Hid^e that overlook? ed the State. To-day thousands of white South Carolinians are ready for any party. Now, let it be stated that a Third Party electoral ticket will be put in the field in South Carolina as soon as possible, within two weeks. This is news. I found this I out yesterday in Columbia. This action is decided upon. The Republicans, chance i are nine to one, will put out a State and electoral ticket before Novem? ber?indeed it is almost certain that they will do this. There is a large indepen I dent feeling and sentiment in the State also in addition to the above tickets. This comes from the Tillman opposition, I out of which grew an independent move? ment and candidate for Governor in 1890. This movement is by no means dead. And then the people have learned so I much of their woes within the lost two or I three yoars, and sre in such an unsettled state of mind that they are ready for as I many more parties 03 they have at present. A campaign of education is a I good thing, but at the same time it is the I truth that "a little learning is a danger? ous thing." Governor. Tillman has won the fight. He is the Democratic nominee for next 1 Governor by a largo majority. He stood upon the Ocala Alliance platform which I was adopted in the May Convention in I Columbia as the platform of "the Demo? crats. He said to me yesterday, -"Say for me that if this Third Party movement starts in this State I shall fight it to the death." Senator Irby said the same thing. They were sitting on the veranda I of the Governor's mansion together. I went down to the office of Mr. J. W. Bowden, the managing editor of the Cotton Plant, the Alliance organ of the I State, edited by Dr. Stokes, until recently I the president of the State Alliance and a candidate for Congress in the elections I just concluded. Mr. Bowden is a very agreeable and intelligent gentleman. He it was who wrote the famous Third Party editorial in the Cotton Plant during the I late Chicago Convention declaring that LSouth Carolina would not support Cleve f land. I I catechised Mr. Bowden and he sub? mitted pleasantly. "Mr.Bowden, will the Third Party do anything in South Carolina this year?" I Mr. Bowden: "We will put an elec [ toral ticket in the field now within two weeks, that is by the 15th of September, I suppose. We may wait until after the Democratic State Convention." (This Convention occurs on September 31.) "I auppose this is an above board busi? ness, Mr. Bowden. You will tell me. I then, if yon are a Third Party a?vocate 7" Mr. Bowden: "Yes, I am a Third Party or People's party man." I "Will you have a convention ?" Mr. Bowden : "I think not, Conven? tions ore two expensive. We will name an electoral ticket by a committee most probably." "This is straight?" "Straight." "Certain to be done?" "Absolutely* certain. We will oppose Cleveland. We shall run a Weaver elec? toral ticket" "Will you put out a State ticket in opposition to Governor Tillman and his ticket?" "No; the People's party people are satisfied with the State government. I am as strong a Ben Tillman man as there I is in the State. I am a Democrat, and so are all our people when it comes to State politics. And that is the way I want our party to stay. But in regard to national affairs we must divide. There are thous? ands of our white people in South Caro? lina who will not support Cleveland. They are determined to support Weavor. Therefore we are obliged to start the party and put out a ticket. We do this to keep these people from breaking away from the Democratic party altogether. We will contrive to support Governor Till? man." y "Will not the Governor oppose tho Third Party?" "Oh, I suppose so," "You will get your Third Party sup? port for tho electoral ticket largely from I the Tillman supporters?" i "Yes, but they will come from both sides." I "Will you put out Congressmen ?" "No." Mr. Bowden was not very firm In this declaration. He continued to talk about I the feeling the Third Party had and would exert toward national affairs. I reminded him that the office of Congress? men was a uational office, but he did not I answer further in regard to running I Congressmon, but said the People's I party in South Carolina would for the I present Interest itself only in national affairs.' So I am in doubt as to what Mr. Bowden thinks positively in regard to I Congress. I "How many Third Party men have you in the State?" "I believo about 30.000." "Who will bo the leaders of the party I over here?" "I cannot say yot. Indeed we haven't I any leader yet, as we are not yet organ I ized, but will be within a few weeks." I "What position do you hold v 'th the I party?" I "None. I suppose my being here at I Columbia gives.mo a apeoialprominence, I and letters sre sent to me every day from I all over the State from Third Party peo I pie. This explains my position." I "You are a South Carolinian, Mr. Bow? den?" V ! "Yes, raised in Anderson County." Mr. Bowden said that Talbert was the I ohoice or preference of the Third Party people in the 2d district for Congress. "Well, Mr. Bowden " I asked, "if you I are Third Party and support Talbert, how about his being Third Party?" I "Well, to be perfectly frank with you," Mr, Bowden said, "Talbert in his prlnci j pies is with us; he stands with us on the I Ocala platform." I Mr. Bowden is a handsome gentleman with a strong honest face. He was read? ing a Century Magazine when I found him, and I left him to it to catch the train. J "How aro 3'ou all on Torn "Watson?" I asked. "Oh, we aro all Tom Watson men." The leading men In Columbia of both* I factions of th-j Democratic party told me j that Bowden was the chief Third Party I man in the State. I ???**.???.* I Judge Melton is reported to have said within the last few days that he would be the next Governor of South Carolina. Judge Melton is the biggest Republican in South Carolina. Will the Republicans put out a State ticket, then ? In answer to this it may be said that it has come pretty, straight from a number of Republican 'sources that they will, and the leading Democrats are apprehen? sive about the matter. Judge A.C. Haskellsaid to me while the eleotlon returns were coming in, but before a result was indicated: "If Till? man is nominated the Republicans will put out a State ticket, but if Sbeppard is nominated they will not." j "There is a serious trouble in the camp. If a Republican State ticket is put out (and there Is but little doubt that one will be) there is too good an opportunity for one to be discarded. I say upon my own authority, upon good information, that it will be the most respeotable Re? publican party ever held in South Caro? lina, for hundreds, if not several thous? and, white men of the best families of the State will go to tho Republican party. This is not to Bay tbo loaders of the Con? servative or Anti-Til)man element would go with this party, but the opposition to Governor Tillman is very bitter and many Conservativo or Anti-Tillman peo? ple in tho State will go into the Republi? can party if it is started this year in South Carolina on a respectable plane. Some Anti-Tillman people will join the Third Party. I heard a number of Conserva? tives declare on tbe streets of Columbia that they would not vote for Governor Tillman. In addition to tbo Third Party and tbo Republican party, which will soon shake themselves and their shaggy raanos on ?be soilof South Carolina, there is a very large element of the Conserva? tive faction who are in favor of running an Independent ticket, as was done two years ago. One of iho leading and wisest md best Conservatives in the Stato gave me an earnest talk. He said there were men all over South Carolina who loved and hon? ored Judge Haskell who ran as an Inde? pendent two years ago, and they consid? ered him as sound a Democrat as there was anywhere. Thoy believed in Dem? ocracy from principle?that is, they believed in the principles of Democ? racy. They considered that the par? ty which was called the Democratic party in South Carolina was not Demo? cratic, that tho principles of Democracy were discardod from it. Those Conser? vatives wcro in favor of starling a new party in South Carolina?any kind of a party as far as name was concerned which could oppose Governor Tillman and the present nominally Democratic party. These gentlemen want to hold the Democratic banner as they see it stainless, and claim that it needs raising now. "One of my nearest relatives," said my informant, "entertains these views, though I oppose them." From this material may be derived interesting speculation. May not tho Republicans come in arid carry the State for Harrison under all thede conditions with the Third Party in the field against Cleveland ? and the State Government to boot with the adhorence of a few good white men and the unreconciled opposi? tion to Tillman ? The nexth month will bring forth interesting developments. "Reform" and the Lawyers. Editors Intelligencer: "Reform" would have us believe that Lawyers have not been sitting in the Commons for live hundred years. Therofore, wo ought not elect Lawyors to tho Legislature "B" says that "Reform" must be mis? taken. "Reform," replying, admits that they have been sitting there, but they , were naughty, and we .shouldn't elect them to Congress. That Parliament had forgotten or neglected to exclude them. He suggests that "B" go deeper into the subject. Now "B" was already familiar with Judges Cuke and Blackstone and Dr. Paley, whose works are quoted as authority. Judge Coke, when in full practice 1593, was elected and "made Speaker, and twice elected later in life. Blackstone, in the full tide of practice, in 17G1, aud again in 37GS. Both these great Judges in their Commentaries refer to the Single Parliament of Coventry in 1404, u Henry IV, excluding Lawyers. But, says "Reform," they excluded Law? yers forever. Blacks ton o says it was unconstitutional. He says that one Par? liament cannot bind one subsequent. It bad no such power. The laws of the Modes and Persians, which chaugoth not, are not of force. Dr. Payley in 1785 names Lawyers as eligible. Now, as Coke and Blackstqne refer to this in particular against Law? yers, and as they sat there, one as Speak? er, and Dr. Payley makes them eligible, and "Reform" says they have been sit? ting there it would soem needless to go deeper. Yes, there are eight Solicitors to pre? pare bills. It is a mere matter of (infer? ence of opinion as to having more. But there are no Solicitors attending the ses? sions of Congress to prepare business. After all, perhaps it depends on which side the Lawyer is on. Tbe late primary suggests it. No objection if he is on your side. They were all vendicated. B, Governor Tillman Collecting bis Beti. Governor Tillman has won enough fine hats on his election to last him long after he has retired from the gubernatorial chair. They are not "wool hats," either, for the governor has stuck his opponents for the finest felt hats, ranging from $3 to 86.' There is no telling how many hats he has won in other parts of the State, but two Greenville men, who were red hot Shepprrd and Oxr supporters are now paying for head wear for the governor. One of them bet Governor Tillman a hat that he would not carry Greenville coun? ty. Of course he lost and yesterday he . received a bill from M. L. Kinard, the Columbia clothing dealer, for S3 for a hat purchased by the governor from him. At the bottom of the bill, in Governor Till man'8 handwriting, was this: "You can remit to me or Mr. Kinard, and be a wiser man next time." The gentleman sent Governor Tillman a postal note for the amount, enclosed in a letter. He told the governor that he (tbe writer) was now a Tillman man, but if the governor was a candidate for office two years from now he would vote against him then. A post? script added the defiant "Hurrah for Sheppard and Orr." Another gentleman received a bill for 86 from Kinard. He rnude a bet in the Mansion House dining room with Gov? ernor Tillman on the day of the campaign meeting here, that Spartanburg county I would go for Sheppard and Orr. Govern? or Tillman refrained from comment on the bottom of .this last bill. At tbe time the bet was made the. governor said he had a number of other bets on the elec? tion. Tbe governor remarked at the time ! that he would carry Spartanburg'by 2,000 J majority. He was only "blowing," as the returns show.?Greenville News. Improbable Story. Sklan, Kansas, September l.?Two years ago last Spring John S. Frazer and WUHam H. Gibson, of Pan Handle, brought a herd of Texas steers into this county to feed them. The native farm? ers became greatly indignant, fearing the introduction of Texas fever, and tried to induce the Texas men to leave. The latter declined to go. Soon after Gibson was poisoned by the contents of a whis? key flask given him by a chance acquain? tance. A day or two later Frazer's body was found in a pool near tbe place where his catttle were feeding. J. T. Davis and S. N. West, farmers, appointed themselves detectives to run down the murderers, and yosterdny Frank Kinzey and Jerry Hutson, Farm? ers' Alliance leaders, were charged with the crime. Warrants are out for the ar? rest of a dozen other mombers of the Al? liance. Davis says tho murders were the result of a conspiracy headed by a joint committee from thirteen Sub-Alliances. The murder of Frazer, he says, was par : ticularly atrocious and was accompanied I by extreme torture. Treasure-Troye. Citt of Mexico, Sept. 3.?A few w eeks ago a rumor b?camo current here that a I sister in Conception Convent had discov? ered an old document which stated that 33,000,000 in gold was buried at the time of the war with the French by the Lady Superior of the convent. The location of the treasuro was given as House No. 5 of Progreso street, which was formerly a part of the convent. Tho work of exca? vation for the money was begun a few ! days ago. by workmen undor tho direc? tion of the priests of the convent. The news of tho aifair reached President Diaz, aud ho immediately ordered the priests to suspend operations, and the I -work was placed in chargo of the Gov# eminent. The treasure was unearthed I yesterday and it will bo turned into the general treasury. ? The Rev. A. N. Keigwin, a Presby? terian minister at Wilmington, Del., prophesies the end of the world in 1897. He expects that in that year the Jews will be restored to the Holy Land, and they will build anew the temple against the second coming of Christ. He draws these conclusions from several much discussed passages in the Book of Reve? lation, and has been preaching sermons for some time past with the special ob lect of preparing his flock for the ovents of 1897. _ Guaranteed Cure for La Grippe.

Mr. Editor : "Wo bog to call the atten? tion of our friends and p&trons to the fact that we have moved our stock of Boots and Shoes and entire business from tho Hotel Chiquola Store to ono of the large and elegant Store-rooms under tho Ma? sonic Temple, formerly occupied by the Alliance Store. We were forced to inako this move for the want of spaco to store the largo block of goods which we will carry in our Wholesale Department. We also neoded more apace for tho largo and well assort? ed stock which wo havo bought for our Retail Trade.

Gossett is con? nected with the Kay State Shoe and Leather Company of New York, one of the largest Shoo manufacturing estab? lishments in the United States, and the advantage of his knowledge of the quali? ty of stock and workmanship alone is worth a groat deal to uu, to say nothing of the great opportunities that bo L s for picking up special bargains in the Bhape of odd lots of goods coming through the factories. His connection with tho Day State S. & L. Co. placea him on an equal footing with the largest New York whole? sale houses in the purchasing of goods from other manufacturers, and it goes without saying that with these advanta? ges there aro but few who can compete with us in prices, and none can undersell us. We are determined to lead Upper Carolina in the Boot and Shoo business, and we propose to do it fairly. Our com? petitors, so far ob we know, are all hon? est men and good merchants, and we do not want to make the impression that you cannot get bargains from them, but we insist and claim an advantage over them in the Boot and Shoe business which we think they will admit. To prove our argument we will sell 100 Cases of Shoes by tho single pair at the regular wholesale factory price. We do not mean to say that wo will sell the Shoos at first cost to us, but wo will guarantee to sell them at the exact first cost to othor merchants. This will give you an opportunity to supply your fami? ly for the Winter with Shoes at whole? sale prices. Wo can prove what we claim by the manufacturers from whom we buy goods, and will guarantee to do bo if our statement is questioned. We challenge, competition, and havo thrownour banner?a United States flag? to the breeze, and our war-cry is, "One price, fair and square deal, quick sales and short profits." JAS. P. GOSSETT & CO., Ono Price Wholesale Boot and Shoe Store. ?NOTICE. THE Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Anderson Cotton Mills will be held in the Court House on Tuesday, 20th inst., at 11 o'clock.

INSTEAD of a jury of twelve men, we propose to empanel the whole public, men duel women, and simply ask them to read the testimony and make up? THE VERDICT. Now for the testimony. Dr. Martin, of Atlanta, testifies that he has used? Stuart's Giii and Buchu In his practice with fine results, and that he has oven cured Bright's disease of the kidney* with it after all other remedies failed. Dr. Fontaine, of Rex, Ga , testifies tuat he has been prescribing Stuart's Gin and Bucbu for some time, and that it is the best remedy he knows for kidnsy, urinary and all bladder troubles. Mr. E. D. L. Mobley, of Atlanta, testi fies that he suffered tor years with some obtcure kidney trouble, which at times gave him great pain and suffering. Al? though he tried all manner of remedies, both regular and irregular, he found no relief until he took STUART'S GIN and BUCHU. It made a perfect cure. Wecould add much of same kind of testimony, but space and time forbid. If you suffer, try a bottle?it will not disappoint you. SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS. SOMETHING NEW ! EVERYTHING NEW!
