Hill,in elegant and appropriate language, thou introduced tho <llHiiuguisho?l orator of the ?lay, Mr. W. C. McGowan, who for more than an hour hold tho undivided attention of tho audience. Paying a glowing tribute to tho history ?if ?lld Pen dleton and Andersan and to the distin guished mon who had adorned the legal profession-Judges Orr, Reed, Whittier and thc members of the Andersen Bar J. Tyler Whitfield. Peter Vandiver, J. W. Norris. J. W. Harrison and others he selected for his subject "Obedience to Law," and drawing from the life of Socra tes a grand lesson of subordination to law, he pointed out the duties and high privileges of American citizens as makers as well as enforcers of the law, and referring to the histories of A.thens and Rome, pictured the results of insub ordination. He emphasized the necessi ty of enforolng the law by an upright ex ercise of tho Jury privilege and the unin fluenced uso of the ballot and against that disregard of law which must inevitably bring about a state of anarchy. Ho re minded his hearers of the prediction of Macauley that, when we had reached the .J ?th century and the fow had amassed minions while tho toiling masses strug gled with poverty, growing poorer aud poorer each day, this grand Republic would crumble and decay beneath the tread of anarchy. He referred to the markets being cornered and the prices being dictated by the few on the articles used for the dally food by the masses, and admonished his hearers that the utmost caution by the body politio and complete .subordination of ina individual to law could alone avort the fulfilment pf Ma cauley'a prophecy. Turning from this, he spoke of the homes of our country, the Influences of parents and the necessity of inculcating obedienoe in children, dwelling upon the fact that au obedient child made an obedient oltizen. He closed by paying a glowing tribute to mothers. The address waa appropriate, forceful and eloquent. Io short, it was a great speech. The inscription ou the northern face of .the atone is Jacob T.

Since we moved into our New Building, considering the work that was necessarily compelled to be done, the hot, unseasonable weather and the low price of Cotton, our business has been everything we could expect. We stocked our pretty, new room with the choicest Stock of Merchandise that was ever shown in the Cijy of Anderson. We never gave more time to the selection of styles and quality than at this time, and with boldness, and without fear of successful con tradiction, we makfi the assertion that we have the best selected and prettiest Stock?of Dry Goods, Millinery, Notions, Shoes, Clothing, Hats and Gents' Furnishings in the City of Anderson. We announce a?ain that we have never allowed any competitor to undersell us, or to oner better,values than we will. Let them make all the claims they will, and use all the persuasive powers at their command, but we "will meet them at Fhillipi" on prices and quality. Listen to us. We mean every word we say. We don't want you to trade with UB unless you feel that we are giving you full value for your money, and offering at least as great inducements as any of our compet itors. Wc verily believe, and think we can demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt, that from one end to the other of our Stock that we aro offering as great, if not greater, advantages than any other establishment in the city. ' This is not boasting. We give our entire time, thought and attention to the Dry Goods and Clothing business. We have experience in these lines, and that gives us^great advantages. DRESS GOODS. No one in this city shall you a prettier or more stylish Dress or give you better value than we will. . MILLINERY. Ladies, no one in all upper Carolina (not alone in Ander son) shall sell you a prettier Hat, combining the essential qualities of quality, style, workmanship and price than we will. Not a bit of it. We are strictly in the Millinery Busi ness, and will not be outdone. LADIES' SHOES. No house in the city shall sell you a better Shoe for the money than we will. From what the trade tells us no house in the city can show as large a stock, of Capes and Jackets than we can, nor shall any of them sell you for less money than we will. CLOTHIN ?Ul No house in the city can show a larger or better selected Stock of practical, well-made, good-fitting 'Clothing than we can. We have Clothing for the Men, Boys and: Children, and remember we will not be undersold. GENTS' FURNISHINGS. No house in Anderson eau give you a- larger or more up to-date Stock to select from than we can. , Men v>nd Boys, no house in the city shall sell you a nicer Hat or better pair of Shoes for the money than we will. When Goods are to be sold we are right there. With undaunted energy and determination, and with an abiding faith in our ability to give full value for your money, we expect to push our Goods to the front. We believe that the people will appreciate our selections, our styles, our values and our prices, and that our friends and customers will give us au opportu nity, as always of yore, to prove to them that we can merit their patronage. Don't fail to come to see us. With best wishes and kindest feelings to every one, we are in the fight for business. Tours very truly, IT IS NOT SO ?HJCH THE COST OF THE GOODS But it is the benefit you derive from using them and the good they do you which marks their worth. Are the most deceptive things in the world. A 75c. Shoe may sometimes h ita exterior so polished up and its style be such a good counterfeit that from its appearance you would judge it to be as good as a ?1 50, possibly a $2.00 Shoe. Ia fact, they might be siviiieu into two classes :.. Shoes that are made simply to sell, and Shoes that are built to give service. It is the latter which we prefer handling, as lfe know that nothing tends so much to dissatisfy a customer as to be deceived in the looks of a Shoe. We h?ve satisfied custom ere iu this line, those who come back to us when in need of* Footwear. ??et us make n customer of you. We want you to look-at*our line of- ?.. JEANS And compare prices. We know that you will save money by going to this much trouble. We have beautiful styles in On which there will'be a saying of IO to 15 per cent to you in buying. There is no harm in looking at them, and we will be glad to prove to you tho truth of this assertion. MoCTJLLY BROS ?ate TO THE PUBLIC OF ANDERSON SO.
