FOR 30 DAYS ONLY. Existing Conditions call for Stringent Measures. FIRST-The Existing Conditions : The Merchants of Anderson generally, we in particular, when buying our Fall and Winter Stock of Goods in August, bought with' a view of fine 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 85. 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 the largest Stock of Goods ever brought to this market, consisting of Fine Dress Goods, Millinery, Cloaks and Jackets, Rugs, Carpets, Hassocks, And Staple Dry Goods of all kinds, Shoes, Rubber Goods, Clothing for Men and Boys, Overcoats, Trunks, Lap Robes, Hats, Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods, In fact, everything to make a complete Stock of an up-to-date Dry Goods Store, amounting to the grand total of- * $50,000 WORTH OF FRESH P-TO-BATE GOODS, Selected with the greatest care, and we invite your inspection to convince you of the superior quality and latest styles and. finish of our Goods in all department?. SECOND-The Stringent Measures : The Cotton Crop has turned out to be a 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 receiving ten to twelve dollars a bale less then he expected, with fewer bales to market. Now, in order to move our immense Stock of Goods, and to put them 012 a footing with cheap Cotton, and in the reach of all,.we will cut to the quick and reduce all uf the above named Goods, consisting of everything in our Dry Goods, Millinery and Clothing Departments temi ii nu FIRST COST rn SPOT cia. This is a big assertion, but we ineaii every word bf it, as we do not pro pose to carry over our Goods. Wc 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 an: not going out of business, but will continue at the old staud. Come early and make your elections, aud take advantage of thia unpre cedented offer of a $00,000 Stock of fine, fresh, new Goods at actual Cost, which is the rarest opportunity ever offered at any time iu any place. We also have a full and completo line of GrEOCERJES, . Etc. Which we do not propose to sell at cost, but as usual, as cheap as the cheap est. " We will buy your Cotton and give you the highest cash price for it, and x remember our Great Slaughter Sale began on Monday, October 25th, 1897, and is limited to thirty days only. So come and get your Bargains. Yours truly, Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Greneral Merchandise. ANDERSON. St. c: TA >CA.ZJ NEWS. WEDNESDAY, NOV. IO, 1897. THE COTTON HABEST.
