BY CLINKSCALES & LANGSTON. ANDEESON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1. 1899. ~ VOLUME XXXIV-NO. 36 e Are THAT our competitors consider themselves lucky when they lose no more than from five to fifteen per cent, of their total sales eaeh year by bad debts. Of course some body must stand this lo3s. It's not the intention that it shall rest on the credit merchant. The old-fashioned credit system of charging much more than the Goods are worth provides very nicely for even 15 per cent, losses. The men who pay their bills and buy of credit houses stand all these losses, by simply paying much more than we ask for the same Goodt, and merely to secure credit-a few weeks credit. It isn't a question of honesty with us. We credit no one. We keep no books. We give you more value for 75c. cash than our competitors would for S1.00 on credit. If you are displeased with any purchase you make here, let us know and we will give you-YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU WANT IT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Keb. 2:!.-The Ore gon arrived nt Hilo Kel). -Ith and at Honolulu Keb. nth. iris and Seandia arrived on the 12th. Omi-KIN. Mr. (Griffin is dispatch agent of tho department. The cablegram from Admiral Dewey asking for thc Oregon was received with surprise by the otlicials here. No one knew, or at least would admit that lie knew the nature ot' the political i reasons which thc admiral says de- ' mands thc immediate presence of the peerless battleship. The cablegram was taken before the cabinet aud fully discussed. The ad miral, it is said, possibly feels that the moral effect of the presence of the big ship upon the insurgents themselves, ; and particularly upon the large ole [ ment among the Filipinos that is be , lieved tobe restrained with difficulty from joining fortunes with Aguinaldo, with whom their sympathies He. would bc good. But there, is an underlying doubt whether or not the admiral may not bi* keenly sighting a gathering cloud in the east, and is looking to the prevention of any possible intervention or interference by European powers in the struggle now in progress in the neighborhood of Manila, lt is believed that in the big tires much property of foreign residents and business concerns was destroyed, and it may lie that some of the foreign naval commanders in the east are disposed to seize upon the pretext that their interests demand protection which we cannot afford them, to make a landing, or do some thing obnoxious to the Knited States and likely to encourage the insur gents. With such a strong naval forceas would la- allbrded by the reinforce ment of Dewey's licet by the Oregon there could not be any sound reason, nor even a pluusuhlc reason, for any such action on the part of third parties. It is said here thal up to this moment there has been no intimation on rhe part of any foreign government to lile any claims for pecuniary remunerat ion for the property of t heir citizens de stroyed in tlic tires and fighting at cither Manila or lloilo. .lust what dis position would, bc made of any such claims is not indicated here. There is ground for thc belief that if it can be shown that our military and naval otli cers practiced the precautions required by international law in thc matter ol' giving due notice to foreigners ol' any action in the way of bombardment that might injure their property, and other wise did everything that could he done to protect the foreign interests equally with mir own, then there is little foun dation for a sound claim for damages. The Oregon arrived at Honolulu on the ."iih instant, according to the tele graphic report that came to thc navy department this morning. No mention was made of her being in need of re pairs as bad been stated in press dis patches. Assuming that the battleship should need ten days repairs, she should have started a way from Honolulu ?rn her long run to Manila on the loth instant. Allowing fm- detention ?HI a econ wt ol: coaling at O mun- or sonic other pori between Honolulu and Manila, it is estimated that the Oregon will reach Manila about (lie I Or li ol' March. The Cabinet gave some attention to Dewey's cable message relative ii? thc political importance ol' sending I lie Oregon al once to Manila. The de partment reached the conclusion that, too much importa ncc should not be attached toil; (hut Dewey wants the big ship to influence the Kilipinos through foiir. Secretary Liing when asked foran explanation of the reference to politi cal reasons in the dispatch said: "I am sure that il has no international sign i li cu nee. You may state that pos itively. Probably hf wants a line ship there as lin- American commissioners are about due and il will give Weight to the American representatives." lt is suggested from other naval sources that Dewey wants thc Oregon to release a number ol' thc smaller ships of the licet for ol.her work. He has been planning a four among the islands other I lian Luzon with I he pur pose ot establishing the authority of i he Knited States among I hem. ll is also necessary to establish a close blockade to prevent Hie insur gents from receiving supplies.
