We with to say to these people that if we charged Goods to any one we would be glad to have their names on our books. We don't wish to make enemies; on the other hand wc wish to .make friends. We have refused to sell on credit eonie of the best people in Anderson County ; not because they would not pay their debts, (some of them could buy us out and not feel it,) but because we do a SPOT CASH business, as we eau sell Goods cheaper that way. So you see it isn't a question ot' how good you are for your debts. We want these good people ( who ^_'ot ollended) to come in and let us show them the prices we make on &ood Goods They will quickly see that we couldn't make such LOW PRICES if we sold on credit. No, we charge Goods to no one. We sell strictly for Spot Cash, and if you are not satisfied with any purchase you make here, we will cheerfully ?jive you-your money back if you want it.

Washington, Feb. ll.-Con. this had another victory to record this morning and, though Ute action before Caloocan did not result in as heavy a loss to the American side as the bat tlc of last Sat urday and Sunday morning, it is be lieved to have been quite as important in results. Caloocan is on the line of railroad connecting Manila with Malu los, the insurgent capital, and it may bo that this capture of thc lirst named town will make it possible to advance ; rapidly by rail upon the insurgent headquarters if it shall bc deemed ne cessary to force tin- lighting and under take the capture of Aguinaldo. Thc Ollicials here wer?' encouraged to-day \ by* (?en. Otis1 quotation of tin-opinion of credible persons. Filipinos, it is un derstood, to the effect that Aguinaldo no longer has the power to keep the insurgents under his lead, as this points to an early submission of the insur gents to the American government. ' .None will lie allowed to come to Manila, however, until they haye laid down their arm-- for good. As for Aguinaldo, it is now believed that he will ref use to the last to make terms that would meet with the approval of (Jen. Otis, ami that when the insurrec tion falls through he will make his escape to the continent rather than re- j main in Luzon. SOME M<?ui: |-|?illTIN(i. Manila. Keb. ll, 2:'M)p. m.-Karly to day the monitor Monadnock and thc cruiser Charleston began dropping shells into tin; rebid camp between Ca loocan and Malaboii. Tin* enemy's sharpshooters in the jungle on the American left had been particularly annoying since daylight, so the Third artillery drove the rebels out of the jungle at noon. Bass, an artist representing Harper's Weekly, was shot in the arm yesterday. Thc loss of the enemy is estimated at fully .10 killed and wounded to one American killed or wounded. TI IK I NT KN SK lt KAT. Manila, Feb. ll, 3:25 p. m.-Tho heat to-day knocked out many more of our men than did tin* Filipino bullets, espe cially in the marsh lauds north of Mala bou, where the Kansas Regiment was stationed. Fully a score of them were taken to thc hospital. Among the incidents of the da j-, it is claimed that Privates Hartley and Fitch, of the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment, were both wounded in the legs by the same bullet, and Private Mitchell of Co. B of the Kansas Regi ment, while assisting a couple of men to the rear, was shot in the left arni. The railroad is now open to Caloocan and supplies for the troops are being forwarded by rail. THE CAl'TCHE OK CALOOCAN. Manila, Keb. ll, 11:13 A. m.-Tin- fol lowing additional particulars regard ing the capture of Caloocan have been obtained: The insurgents had been concentrat ing their forces for days at Caloocan, and Maj. Cen. Elwell S. Otis, the American commander here, determined to attack them. He instructed his commanders accordingly and requested t tho assistance of the naval forces under the command of Rear Admiral Dewey. Maj. Cen. MacArthur reported that all I was ready, and at *1 o'clock he received 1 the following message: The commanding general orders you ? to go ahead with the programme. (Signed) BA it uv. The attack began immediately. Thc monitor Monadnock and the cruiser Charleston shelled Caloocan and thc country north of it for half au hour. Gen. MacArthur's artillery also did effective work from a hill in the rear. Brig. Cen. Harrison Cray Otis, with his brigade, consisting of the Kansas Regiment, the Montana Regiment and the Third artillery, regulars, acting as infantry, advanced handsomely, push ing forward in the face of the Filipino bullets as cheerfully as if they had boen snow balls. The enemy was utterly routed, and fled to the mountains. At tl o'clock "cease firing" and "re call" were sounded. The troops were then well through Caloocan and north of it. Gen. MacArthur established his left at Caloocan and strengthened his lines for the night. By the. capture of Caloocan the con trol of much of the rolling stock of th?' Maniln-Dagupnn Railroad was obtain ed. The city is now quieter stud business is better than at any time since the outbreak of hostilities. The American losses yesterday were three men killed and :12 wounded. Among the latter are gallant Lieut. Col. Bruce Wallace of the Montana Regiment and a lieutenant of the Second ca vally, who was shot through the lung while leading a charge across the open ground. . The enemy lost heavily. MANILA, Feb. 12, 4:30p. m.-Contra ry to general expectations, all is quiet along the entire line. Not hing has hap pened up to this hour to disturb the pence of Sunday. In Manila the inhabitants have gen erally recovered from the alarm occa sioned by the fear of a native uprising, and are resuming their ordinary busi ness. Thc shipping interests arc naturally suffering, since there have been no clearances for PhilipiTino ports for a week, but on the other hand, foreign shipping has increased, especially for i Hong Lou*;, every sternum* It-omul I thither being crowded with timid refu gees. ricirr ri'i'M TIM .II s < 11. i . Despite this i|uietude matty are ask ing whether the prohlein is nut still lar from solution. A week ugo those who took nu optimistic \ lew predicted that the terrible lessons jn>t administered to the rebels would mdt le the question ol' Filipino independence in short or der. Hut this prediction luis not boen fulfilled As a matter ol' fact thc reb ids aro now scattered throughout the country bushwhacking, except al Mai lt holli where they are gathered In lore?*. Kven there their methods savor more of guerilla than of civilized warfare, every bush and clump of trees furnish ing a cover for their sharpshooters. l*nfortunately, for miles around t In landis studded willi bamboo jungle and open spaces are few and far be tween.

Weare sn wo un ?led with beautiful gv?'?'ll hills covered with great tall palms, and in the valley they are now rut ting suga rca ne timi hauling it to lite Illili. I nilen wished fol a camera large enough to take in the w hole scene. The climate is I believe unequalled anywhere. Righi now we go wit bout any coat. lu I he m iib Ile of the day it is very hoi, still in the shade it is delightful, as we have a ginni breeze right oil' the Cull of Mexico. and at night one blanket is suHicienf, except inst Indore day two is often re quired. Cuba will eventually knock Florida out as a winter result, and soiiu' enterprising niau can make a for tune by building a hotel on one of the many hills surrounding Havana. The boys an- delighted so far. and you can see crowds with their knap-, sacks going and rambling, for any way j you go there is something pretty to I se?'. Right near usan- immense ha milla and pineapple orchards. The pineapples arc planted between the rows of bananas. Von cannot imagine how delicious a pineapple taken ripe from the tree is. Italianas are scarce, as old Weyler destroyed all the farms he could lind. Oranges arc plentiful and better than those from Florida and are ?-heap. Within sight of our camp, which is upon a beautiful hill, nine miles from Havana and one-fourth mile from (?neniados and Mariano, can be seen th?* retule/.vous of th?* Cuban soldiers. A great many are quartered there now. Within a mile can be seen a couple of the famous Spanish block houses, and wir?; felice. They are certainly works of an ingenious brain, and cadd never be taken with infantry, bul a little artillery could knock them out in short oilier. The 7th Corps Chief F.llgiiiecv says their block house system around Havana is one of the finest pieces of j engineering he ever saw. Von must not believe every! liing y?ui see in the papers in regard to Havana ? and Cuba. For instance, the corres pondent of the New York 'hutmill tele graphed his paper t hat one of our boys had died of yellow fever. Asa matter of fa?'t he is still living, and has never had yellow fever at all. The health of the boys is as good as it was in Savan nah, ami far better than Jacksonville, in my Company w<- have only one man in hospital. There is mit a case of yel low fever in thc Regiment. Mut hers and fathers should not worry on that account, for I believe, where we are located isas healthy as anywhere we could be. The boys are not allowed to go to Havana except with au ollieer. Anderson County is pretty well rep resented by ollicers in our Regiment, and they an-a credit to their ib-gi ment. There is Captain and (JitarhT Master C. C. Sullivan; 1st Lieut. K. Ii. Cox, Co.
