Anderson intelligencer. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. J. F. CLINKSCALES, \ EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, 1 PROPRIETORS. TERMS: ONE YEAR.i.fl 50' SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, OCT. 27, 1897. Dun's review states that the liabili ties of the failures for the third quar ter of this year were smaller than for any quarter of the previous 23 years. Not since 1392 has the potato crop of the United States so nearly proved a failure. Compared with the crop of last year, there is an apparent falling off of about 30 per cent. General Longstreet is said to be anxiously wondering as to the cause of delay in receipt of that wedding .giftfrom the President- that commis sion as railroad commissioner. Ex-President Harrison must have failed in getting something he asked Mr. McKinley for, as he is out with the suggestion of another man for the Republican nomination in 1900. The efforts of the United States monetary commission in Europe has met recently with much discourage ment and the progress toward inter national bimetalism seems to have a set back from which it cannot rally soon.' Governor Ellerbe has received more than.200 replies from the 800 white preachers of . the ' State to whom he t sent a circular asking certain ques tions in regard to the effect the dis pensary had on the drink habit of the people. Ue will make these answers public in some way. Dr. A. P.JMontague, the new presi dent of iFurman University, has reached Greenville [and was formally received and'inducted into office last week, for which occasion an elaborate .program had been prepsxed. This marks the beginning of a :aew era for Furman's already illustrious career. In another column we publish a communication from a ''Farmer" that contains some suggestions that are worthy the o consideration of every farmer in Anderson County. We ask our farmers'to read it, and, if they en dorse the scheme,.to let it be known. We would be pleased to publish any. communications in reference to the matuef. . Senator Jones, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is particularly well pleased with the Democratic prospects at the Novem ber elections. He states that the Democratic tioket will triumph in Kentucky by a big majority, and re gards the outlook in Maryland as promising from a*-Democratic stand point, while in Ohio the chances are . very^ood. . It is reported that the experiments which have been made by the Post office Department in the free delivery of rur.il letters have, so far, resulted very much to the 'department's satis faction. Fifty thousand dollars was appropriated last winter by Congress ?for this use. ?n tests of the feasibili ty of the-plan were made in various parts of the country. Early reports whit h have come in, especially from some districts in Maine and Vermont, tell of the satisfaction of the farmers with the new service, and of their will ingness to profit by it. - Im Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, says the trial of sugar beets thii -season has been very suc cessful. The experiment was tried in twenty-seven States. The seed were mostly procured in Europe, but next season the trials, which will be very extensive, will be . made with Ameri can seed. Twelve tons will be dis tributed, cf which Utah alone will fur nish one-fourth. Nebraska and Cali fornia will provide a large proportion of the remainder, and the balance necessary will .be procured in Germa ny. Mr. Wilson is pushing every project which promises to aid Ameri can agricultural interests. The State Fair is only two weeks off. All concerned are hard at work, and it is intimated that the list of attrac tions will excel those of all previous State Fairs. The State ball is to be revived, and is to be one of the prin cipal features of the week. There will be a wheelmen's meet, balloon as censions, and many other attractions too numerous to mention. The Fair Society this year has offered a special prize of $100, with $50 for second best, for the best bale of South Caro lina raised cotton shown at the Fair. This, the officials say, will be thc moans of bringing to the Fair one of the greatest, exhibits of baled cotton ever seen in the State. The State has decided to make its last stand and fight to save the dis pensary system from its seeming early aud inevitable death. Thc motionior an appeal from .ludgc Simouton's de cision was made by Assistant Attor ney General Townsend and granted in Charleston last Saturday, and.the case now goes to thc United States Su preme Court. Thc State authorities have selected the case of M. Ferst, Sons & Co., of Savannah, Ga., against Constables J. G-. Strobel, F. M. Kay and J. X. Dickinson, involving the maintainancc of an original package agency at Bamberg. The Attorney General has concluded that this case presented the best show of a victory for the State, and it was selected to make the test of Uncle Sam's highest judicial tribunal. An effort will be made to have the case heard as soorf as possible. Our Columbia Letter. COLUMBIA, S. C, Oct. 25,1897. It is authoritatively announced that Comptroller-General Norton will not hand in his resignation for some days yet. There are various matters that have come up in his office prior to his election, and he intends to dispose of them before his resignation. His successor could, in all probability, make a satisfactory disposi tion of them, but Mr. Norton wishes, as he feels it to be his duty, to settle them bofore turning his book3 over to the suc cessful aspirant for bis place. However, the State Board has not met and declared the result of the recent election in which the Comptroller-General was the only candidate for Congress. The delay is due to Attorney-General Barber'e illness, he being confined at his home in Chester. Just as soon as he returns to the city the result of the election will bo declared and Comptroller-General Norton will receive his commission as Congressman from the Sixth District. The committee appointod by the Legis lature to investigate the books of the Dis pensary met last week and has made Its report. The profits have fallen oil* very much, and in several places the dispen saries aro actually losing money, So far as the management of the chief rum shop is concerned the committee found no dis crepancies. A few suggestions aro made in regard to insurance and the bonds of the various dispensers, some of which bonds, in the opinion of the committee, being entirely too small when compared with the stock carried by the local dis pensary. Governor Ellerbe is extremely reticent about the replies to the circulars he sent to the various ministers of the State In. regard to the dispensary law. Many ministers have replied, and what can be ascertained fxbm fairly reliable sources, the digest of the reports is for prohibi tion. It is safe to say that His Excellency has received a large number of temper ance lectures and sermons, and that here after he will probably be able to detect one in the dark by simply feeling it. A special from Washington to the Rich mond Times says that a prominent Caro linian, in the course of an interview, told the reporter that Senator Tillman would. never again be Been in the U. S. Senate chamber-that he was now suffering from that draadful malad3r-Bright's disease. Senator Tillman'was in the city for some days for treatment of jaundice, but there was no intimation of bis having Bright's disease. When he left last week he was apparently in good health. Noth ing could, be learned to-day here about the truthfulness of the report. A. B. S. Kind Words From Our Contemporaries.

LEWIS, Belton, . ?. / $90,000 THE ALLIANCE STORE will go out of business at the close of this year, if not earlier. My physicians have advised that I cannot stand the strain of the mercantile business any longer. The Directors of the Store are unwilling to accept my resignation as Manager and elect another man in my place. So the only alternative left is to close out, and we realize fully in order to do so speedily it will be imperative to offer great inducements in prices. Unfortunately for our Stockholders we bought a much heavier and better Stock of Fall and "Winter Goods than ever before. It was an error in judgment, but I thought in July and August that we were making a big crop in this country, and would get a good price for it, 'out it is cut both ways, and our idea is the first loss is the easiest borne. Wo have a cash offer from a party in New York to take our entire stock at so much on the dollar, but it is so much less than real intrinsic value for fresh, new, desirable Goods, we have decided that where we are forced to give away anything we prefer that our own people shall get the benefit of it. Hence we inaugurate A SLAUGHTER SALE All through the Store. Heretofore we have endeavored-to maintain the oue price system, but-now in order to close out in a short while, quantities will necessarily be something of a leverage in prices, as it is necessarily less ex pense to close cut quickly than to take a long time to do so. ' Again, it is impracticable to sell all lines at a uniform cut rate. It is im portant to reduce the steck uniformly, so as to keep a good assortment intact, thereby enabling us to fit up every customer. Any articles we are specially overetocked in we will naturally cut lower at first, and afterwards we may make further reductions on lines not moving so rapidly. For instance we are OVERLOADED in Shoes, Men's (Clothing, 1 Hats and Furnishings, And Ladies' Fine DFPSS Goods, Millinery and Notions, And we have CUT PRICES on many f these Goods TO THE QUICK; Remember, these Special Prices are for PROMPT CASH only. An early visit to our Store will handsomely pay any would-be purchaser. Very respectfully, Manager. N. B-All who are indebted to us will confer a great favor, by prompt payment. WE WONT DECEIVE YOU ! .We are in Business for the Money that is in it, and not for our health. During .these panic times we propose to not only meet but beat any price on anything in our line ! WE have a new. slick, nobby line of And everything in the line of GENERAL MERCHANDISE needed for fam ily use. We have the best line of Hour, Sugar, Coffee, Tobacco, Lard, Meat, Hams, Eice, Grits, &c, To be found in these parts, and "COST" isn't the word to express how cheap we are selling these Goods. * We do a large business with a small force, and have been fairly success^ ful ; so if some men, with heavy expenses hereabouts, can sell for "Cost," we can sell for less, even if we have to drink branch-water while we are at it. So if you want to buy your Fall Shoes and Dry Goods WHERE YOU CAN DO THE BEST, Don't fail to see us, for we are in the ring, and in to stay, "Cost" or no "Cost." We have made up our mind on some things in regard to selling Goods for less money than other people who do a small business on heavy expense.
