AT FOR 30 DAYS ONLY, Existing Conditions callfor Stringent Measures. FIRST-The Existing Conditions : The Mei chants of Anderson generally, we in particular, when buying our Fall and "Winter Stock of Goods in August, bought with a view of f.ne crops and eight cents Cotton, a condition that existed at that time, as pros pects for a fine crop were never better than at that time, and Cotton was ac tually worth 8c' on our streets ; and in order to meet the prospective demand, and to supply^the wants of our friends and customers in prosperity we bought <-_tiieJargest Stock of Goods ever brought to this market, consisting of Fine Dress Goods, Millinery, .

SECOND-The Stringent Measures : The Cotton Crop has turned out to be small one instead of the monster record-breaker that we expected ; and worse than all, the price has gone down to five and three-quarter cents, instead of netting the farmer eight cents per pound that we anticipated it would last August. The farmer, therefore, is receiviog ten to twelve dollars a bale less than he expected, with fewer bales to market Now, in order to move our immense Stock of Goods, and to put them on a footing with cheap Cotton, and in the reach of all, we will cut to the quick and reduce all of the above named Goods, consisting of everything in our Dry Goods, Millinery and Clothing Departments-^ HIW HM FIRST COST fOR SPOT CASH. This is a big assertion, but we mean every word of it, as we do not pro pose to carry over our Goods. "We can afford to do it, as the people of this and adjoining Counties have been liberal with us when they had a surplus of money. Now, in their hour of need, we propose to stand by them, as we are not going out of business, but will continue at the old stand. Come early and make your selections, and take advantage of this unpre cedented offer of a $50,000 Stock of fine, fresh, new Goods at actual Cos ;, which is the rarest opportunity ever offered at any time in any place. We also have a full and complete line of GROCERIES, HARDWARE, Etc., Which we do not propose to sell at cost, but as usual, as cheap as the cheap est.
