ASKED THIS QUESTION:
How can you aff >rd
to Sell Goods at such
Low Prices ?
OUR ANSWER IS . . .
WE don't credit any one, and do not lose anything on
bad accounts. We know (and so do you) that a part of the
Goods sold on credit is lost, and you who pay your bills are
paying for those who do not. Therefore, if we give no credit
ve can sell Goods at the very smallest per centage that they
m be handled for. We will sell you
A 25c. Men's Heavy Cotton Undershirt at 19c..
A 25c. Men's Heavy Cotton Drawers at 19c.
A 25c. Work Shirt at 19c.
A $1.25 Alpine or Railroad Kat at 98c.
A $1.75 Mackintosh at $1.29.
A $2.25 Mackintosh at $1.49.
A $4.00 All Wool Mackintosh at $2.98.
A $5.00 Overcoat (all wool) at $3.75.
A $7.50 Overcoat (all wool) at $5.63.
No credit house can possibly meet our prices. You save
money every time you trade with us, because

1 'lr, thc people of South Carol i nu:

, Fortunately or unfortunately, however, 1
i have aspiialious and hopes beyond I ho
mero routine ot ofiicial lite. I have been
inspired by au aitibitiou to be ot practical

have never entertained for a moment the
thought that being a public officer de
barred nie from the privilege exercised
by every citizen of attempting to iullu
euce fur good the affair? of my State, lu
fact, 1 have felt as a public servant that
tt was my duty to do all iu my power to
better the condition of public affairs. I
have firmly aud cousisteutly, without
regard to the effect ou my individual
fortunes, supported the best men for
otlicu aud the policies that 1 belie veil
Mould bent conserve thu public interest.
There io such a greed for office in South
(.'.trotina that it makes cowards of most
of those holding or seeking office. I have
earnestly striven to not allow this blight
to wither my m luliootl or patriotism.

Captain Fredell .loues, of Hock Hill,
has written to I he* Newa and Courier, a
letter in which he shows what a haiul
some thing it will he if every county
in the State will contribute to the suc
cess of thc Confederate reunion in
Charleston, Here is what he says:
The follow i II jr resolut ions were adopt
ed by the executive committee of the
United Confed?rale Veterans at. their
meet i 114; in Columbia, November, lt),
1 80S :
.. iteHuhietl, That the members of the
executive committee and all thc com
manders of the. luca cutup, IJ. C. V.,
in each county, be. appointed ti commit
tee to solicit assistance in provisions
for the entertainment, of the Confede
rate Veterans in f Heston during
May, 1800, und that each county the
committee shall use the best means in
their judgment to interest the people
to contri bute to this laudable under
taking- That the committee in the
respective, counties communicate, by
February 1, 1800. to the chairman of
the executive committe in Charleston
what their county will probably do to
wards assistance in entertaining thc.
Veterans."
Having been appointed chairman of
the committee which reported the
above. I feel it incumbent, on ute to
edi public attention to the resolutions, J
ait id to urge the citizens of the various
counties to assist in making theoccn- '
sion a grand success. I am sun- ii is |
only necessary to properly advertise
and manage this appeal for assistance
t ? secure l he most ample contribu? ions.
lt would be a most becoming and ap
propria te tribute to the patriotism of
our people if they should now oller
help to the citizens of Charleston who
have Hil generously taken upon tlu in
8 Ives the burdett of providing for this

Logically, Smith Carolina is the
proper Stale to go forward ns the pio
neer ?d' textile education in the south.
The. little 1'almctto State has one
third of all the looms und spindles of
the south. Uer peuple have unlimited
confidence in cotton mills as divideiid
makitig institutions. This confidence
is hosed upon the experience of the
past. Though leading all other south
ern States in textile manufactures, thc
cdtou mill industry is hut in ita in
fancy in South Carolina. With 1,000,
011.) horse-power running into waste in
the streams that flow from thc lillie
Ridge mountains to the Atlantic ocean,
with a conservai i ve, intelligent labor
ing element; willi the raw product at
the doors ol' I lu-mills: wit h a popula
tion that has an instructive genius for
manufacturing, there is no reason why
the textile industries .should md quad
ruple in South Carolina during tim
ilex I quarter of a century.
Impressed with tim present import
ance and the future possibilities nf
cotton manufacturing, the auf hoi it ii s
of the largest Stale institution in Som h
Carolina have added a textile depart.
lueiil to train young men in thc nut tl tr- '
fad nie of cotton goods,
We may pause to ask ?ind answer
this question: is it right lo use mon? y
derived from general tax?t iou for I he
upbuilding of a special industry? llave,
md men in other pursuits as much
right to demand of a State a school for
special training as the colton mill men?
The government is established for the
greatest good of the greatest, number.
During the last seven years cotton
mills in the south have doubled in
number. There are now 48 mills, rep
resentingnenpitalof!>120,000,fKH). Fac
tory populations ure inflamable. Edu
cation brings conservai ism. An ex
pressed willingness on thc part of (he
Slate, to dignify labor, tn provide,
means to educate, nial elevate ambi
tious youths for a special line of work,
j will do much towards stemming the
socialistic tide and towards preventing
labor strikes. When the State pro
vides textile schools the factory opera
tives feel that flu' sympatheticnrm ol'
the government is thrown around
them.
Tim south hus had few, if any, scii
ons labor 1 roubles in t he col ton mills.
The reason is obvious. Our opera
lives, as a class, arc respectable, sober
natives from the farms in the vicinity 1
of the mills. .Most of I hem have been
accustomed to managing labor of their '
own on u small scale. Thc superinten
dent is usually a native, who under
stands the peculiar sentiments and
prejudices of the operatives. About
the same relationship between I he
superintendent, and the operatives as
that found in the country store, bet ween
the merchant and his clerk. Common
interests, and common feeling prevent
friction. We cannot hope, however,
i hat this happy coud i I ion of mutual
contentment will continue for com ii lg
years. A factory population will grow
up, alienated from the. farms, having
no deep-mored sympathy with other
vocations-a population that will bo
from the factory, in the factory, and
for the factory. This population will
form a very influential percentage of
the census of the south ill 103*1 A.D.
The State, therefore, that takes hold
of this social and industrial emblem in
time may reasonably hope to find some
solution for thu vexations questions
I hat will arise.
lt should bc borne in mimi. too. that
the textile school is not established for
the mill nun alone. Abale of cotton
weighing ."ino pounds will bring the
farmer .*Bno to lu: distributed between
the rent of the laud, labor, fertilizer,
cost of implements, etc. Now let a
cotton mill be established in the vicin
ity of that farm. The mill pays the
same $:i0 for the bale of cotton and
manufactures il into sheet inga a yard
wide. The sheeting will sell to th''
jobbers for *f?sso. The d irte renee of
f is paid out in the community for
labor, supplies, dividends, taxes, in
HUliim e. etc. ls it not the part of wise
Statesmanship to encourage, by build
ing textile schools, if necessary, an in
dustry that will bring to the soul li-*.VS
for every bab* of cotton, instead nf.*.IO,
to say nothing of new mat kits created
for truck lu rilling, of the increased
value of real estate, of opportunities
opened up for men now idle?

Indeed lhere ure smue who think that
the southern uiiiid has no aptitude or
capacity for uieclianiial. scientific or
technical pursuits. This is the faull
of our weak, one-sideil, defective sys

has been minimized in our schools.
Shall we develop our marvelous re

The industrial coliges must answer the
