We I
Are
Told
THAT our competitors consider themselves lucky when
tiipy lose no more than from live to lil'teeu per cent, of
their i otal sales eaeh year by bad debts. Of course some
body must stand this loss. 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
-rand all these losses, by simply paying much more than
wc ask tor the same Good*, and merely to secure credit-a
few weeks credit.
lt isn't a (puestiou of honesty with us. We credit no
one. We keep no books. We give you more value for
7*ic. cash than our competitors would for 81.00 ou credit.
If you are displeased with any purchase you make here,
let us kuow and we will give you-YOUR MONEY
BACK IF YrOU WANT IT.
?lose $1.00 Jeans Pants we are selling1 for 75c.
The number we put on sale was luckily larte, else you late
emilers wouldn't have the selection to choose from. These
Pants are worth 81.00 at any credit house.

Twenty-five dozen NEGLIGEE SHIRTS, with two

CONSTABLE KILLS A WOMAN.
Mrs. Stuart of Columbia Shot in
thc Ureas! hy State Constable
Crawford*
Coi. t*.MI ii.^ S.e.. LVh. S?.-Mrs. John
Stuart is lying at tin* point ol'death,
shot hy State Constables; John Stuart
ia shot itt the month and NV. ll. Craw
ford, ehief State Constable, is shot in
the arni, all about tho dispensary law.
Crawford and the State Constables
went to St uart's home to make a search.
Protests followed. Mrs. Stuart asked
leave to semi for her husband, who
clerks at Miinnuugh's.
When Stuart esme he and Crawford
got into a dispute about the righi to
search. Stuart said the house could
not he searched. Crawford said it
would he as he had a warrant.
Crawford says he reasoned with
Stuart and told him he must he a fool.
Stuart says "You're a damned fool."
Crawford struck Stuart in the face
and later pulled a pistol and struck
Stuart twice in the faire with it.
Mrs. Stuart cann' out ami begged
that there he no trouble. Constables
Dorn ami Coleman bemired Crawford
ti? leave. Then, the Constables say,
Stuart opened the door and tired at
Crawford. Crawford says he then
banged away, tiring three times.
The second hall, a ll. hit Mrs. Stuart
just below thc nipple.
The Constables say Stuart tired twice
while they were retiring and that
Crawford returned the tire.
Crawford ?lid all the firing from the
Constables' side.
The house is within a stone's throw
of the Governor's mansion. Crawford
has a wound on the arm.
The Shel itt'and Chief of Police Daley
arrested Cooley, who was along, and
the three Constables are now at Magis
trate Smith's court room under arrest.
In response to a telephone message
Governor Ellcrbc has directed the local
militia company out to protect the men
and ordered that they be taken to the
Penitentiary.
A crowd is outside crying "take 'em
out," "lynch 'em," and the like.
There is much feeling in the city and
much hurrahing.
The Sherill"has addressed th?' crowd,
saying that he will protect the prison
ers'as he is sworn to do.
Mrs. Stuart is expected to die tit any
minute.
Crawford has been iu two previous
killing affairs as Constable, it seems,
including a Negro in Greenville.
He says he has proof that liquor had
been sold in Stuart's house tor some
finie past and had all th?' necessary
papers.
Crawford admits hitting Stuart on
the face before Stuart went into the
house and returned with a pistol which
he tired.
Mrs. Stuart fell over on the door step
of her home.
Stuart opened the ?loor before lirinj;.
The physicians will allow noone at thc
Stuart House.
Coi.L'MUiA, S. C., Feb. 20. 1 a. m.
Mrs. Stuart is not dead and has been
taken to the hospital. A big mob is
yet in front of the magistrate's office
calling for the Constables to be brought
out.
As the Richland Volunteers are on
the grounds no further ?rouble is ex
pected. The Governor's Guards have
just come up to reinforce the Volun
teers.
Coi.I'M nt A, S. C., Feb. 20.-Mrs. .lohn
Stuart, the woman shot lust night hy
Dispensary Constable (.'lawford, who
was attempting to search her house for
whisky, died this afternoon at 5::i0
o'clock from the effects of the wound.
The woman's husband, who was shot
at the same time, will recover.
The four Constables, v were kept
prisoners in a magistrate .. ollice until
5 o'clock this morning, guarded by two
militia eonipnnii.-s, were at that hour
escorted hy the troops and a force of
policemen and sheriff's posse to the
State Penitentiary for safe keeping.
Good Advice.
The Washington lJont, which seems
to understand conditions of the South
better than any other newspaper pub
lished north of the Potomac, says:
"The South does not and never will
pretend that it ?fters the negro politi
cal domination, otticial control or
substantial ascendancy of any kind.
The South is frank enough to proclaim
faith that the negro represents an in
ferior race and shall not he permitted
to rule. But the colored people will be
wise to consider that the white South
erners are their renl friends and sym
pathizers. The time has come for the
negro to choose between the 'lender'
who promises much and does nothing
for Ids welfare and the Southern white
who promises nothing and does much."
No truer statement of the position of
the white men of the South has been
made ; no better counsel has been otter
ed to the negroes in this section. The
"leaders" of the negro have gotten
him into most of his troubles and are
responsible for mistakes- whieh have
cost him very dearly.
We are glad to believe that , a ma
jority of the negroes in the South have
learned wisdom by experience and
cheerfully accept the position which by
laws and instincts beyond tho control
of man they now hold and under exist
ing conditions must continue to' oc
cupy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.- The follow

sons the Oregon should be sent here al

arrived on the 13th. (Inn TIN.
Mr. Critlin is dispatch agent of tho
deiiar* mont.
The cablegram from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received
willi surprise by the otlicials here. No
one knew, or nt least would admit that
be knew the nature ol' the political
reasons which the admiral says de
mands the immediate presence ol'the
peerless battleship.
The cablegram was taken bef ore t lu
cabinet and 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 ele
ment among the Filipinos that is be
lieved to be restrained with dillie ul ty
from joining fortunes with Aguinaldo,
with whom their sympathies lie. would
be gund. Hut there is au underlying
doubt whether or not the admiral may
not be keenly sighting a gathering
cloud in the east, and is looking to the
prevention of any possible intervent iou
or interference by F.uropcan 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 be that some
of the loreign naval commanders in
the east ure 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 Vnited States
and likely to encourage tin- insur
gents.
With such a strong naval force as
would be afforded hy the reinforce
ment of Dewey's licet by the Oregon
there could not be any sound reason,
nor even a plattsable reason, for any
such action on thc part of third parlies.
It is said here that up to this moment
there has been nu intim?t inn on t In
part ot'any foreign government to lile
any claims for pecuniary remuneration
for the property of their citizens de
stroyed in the tires and lighting ut
either Manila or Hollo. .lust what dis
position would be made of any such
claims is not indicated here. There is
ground for the belief that if it eau be
shewn that our military und naval olU
eers practiced the precautions required
by international law in the matter of
giving due notice to foreigners of any
action iu the way ol' bombardment that
might injure their property, and other
wise did everything that could be done
to protect the foreign interests equally
with our own, then there is little foun
dation for u sound claim for damages.
The Oregon arrived nt Honolulu on
the ?tli instant, according to the tele
graphic report that came to the navy
department this morning. No mention
waa made of her being in need of re
pairs as hud been stated in press dis
patches.
Assuming that the battleship should
need ten days repairs, she should have
started n way from Honolul? on her
long run to Manila mi the 15th instant.
Allowing for detention on account of
coaling at (iiuus or sume other port
between Honolulu ami Manila, it is
estimated that the Oregon will reach
Manila about the 10th of March.
The Cabinet gave some attention to
Dewey's cubic message relative to the
political importance of sending the
Oregon at once to Manila. The de
partment reached the conclusion that
too much importance should not be
attached toit; that Dewey wanta the
big ship to influence the Filipinos
through fear.
Secretary Long when asked for an
explanation of the reference to politi
cal reasons in the dispatch said:
"1 am sure that it has no international
significance. You muy state that pos
itively. Probably he wants a lino ship
there as the American commissioners
are about due and it will give weight
to the American representatives."
It is suggested from other naval
sources that Dewey wants the Oregon
to release a number of the smaller
ships of the fleet for other work. He
has been planning a tour muong the
islands other than Luzon with the pur
pose of establishing the authority of
the United States among them.
lt is also necessary to establish a
close blockade to prevent the insur
gents from.receiving supplies. Mean
while the war department otlicials were
agreeably surprised this morning to
Irani that Gen. Otisai Manila hail ir-i
reived (lu* first ul" his reinforcements

The Tolbert* Must not Tarry In tireen
wood.
l.ha:i:\\vooit, Keb. SS.--Last night
about n o'clock a body nf men variously
estimated al from 7"> to ino in number
lode into the Si j un le ami stopped in
front nf Kiley's hotel. They were all
on horseback and all were armed. The
men were all. or nearly all from the vi
cinity of I'ho-iiix, in this county, and a
number ol'the best citizens nf that sec
tion were in the party. None nf the
crowd wore masks, and there was un
attempt at concealment. Hon. .1. M.
Caines appeared to be in command and ;
did most nf the talking. Inquiry was
made if .Inc Tolbert wasat the hotel.
On being tobi that Tolbert had left the j
city several days ago. the crowd, with j
possibly one or two oxeoptions. seemed
glad of it. They said they did not waul 1
any blond shed, and wen* glad Tolbert
was out of i he way.
The object of tile visit to C reen wood j
the men composing the party stated,
was to make u demonstration showing
the attitude of the people of the I'llo -
nix section toward (hose of the Toi bert s
win?were to blame for the recent polit
ical troubles in this county. Two of
these Toi berts, it was known, had been
in this eily, and the citizens stated that
the object of their visit, was to protest
against the presence of these menin
the county, and if they weie still
there, to insist on their imm?diate de
parture.
On finding that the men they were
looking for were not in the city, the
citizens spent about two hours around
town before starting for their homes,
liefere leaving they mad?: urgent re
quests of Mr. T. K. Kiley and otlu-rcit
izens not tn allow any ?d' th?- Tolberts
now under proscription to again take
up their resilience in the city for any
length ?d' tim?-. Tin- people in t In- lower
portion ol' th?' enmity, it was repre
sented, had suffered for many years at
tin* hands of th?- Tolberts, ami they
have resolved that they will not sutler
from this cause any longer They do
not believe that pence and good order
can be maintained with the Tolberts in
the county al present, and they ?lo not
propose to run any risk-.
They said that if the Tolberts had
shown any sign ol' rogr?U for their past
conduct ami th?' ronseipicuces ?if it, ami
had made any pletlgcs as t?? g<?i>?l ?*?>n
duct in th?- tuturi', their return might,
have boen tolerated, but that until the
Tolberts slmwcd some ?l?-sir?- to have
th?' friendship ami good will of the peo
ple of th? county they wouhl mit li?'
allowed to live in this county again.
Th?; ?'itizenssaid t hey thought tin*soon
er this was known the bet ter it wouhl
he for all parties concerned, and that
the object of their visit here was to
make that fact known in the most-un
mistakable maimer. The crowil, during
the two hours" stay in th?* ?'?ty, was
generally quiet and orderly. Some ol'
the men had bren drinking, and one or
two were disposed to be quarrelsome
arni uiuke asses of themse.lv?'*, but the
gri'iit majority wein sober men, amt so
ber men w?*ie certainly in ?rhtirge of thu
crowil ami directed its movements.
The leaders were using every ?'Mort to
keep ?l??wis any disord?*iiy ??r unseem
ly conduct.
Thc crowd started out of town in the
direction ofl'luenix about ll ??*clo?'k.
A stop was made at the home of Mr.
W.H. Napier, in the outskirts of the
?.itv. Mr. Napier isa brother-in-law of
.las. \V. Tolbert. Tolbert has beim
then- for two w?-?'ks, but l?*Ft, it is saith
sevi'ial ?lays ago. Mr. Napier was tobi
not to allow Tolb?-rt to return. Mr.
Napier stated y?'ster?lay that the crowd,
during th?' s!??p at his house, was quiet
and orderly : that no threats were ma?te
and that nn abusiv?- language was
used.
Tho Stute correspondent talk<M with
Hun. .I. M. Gaines over thc telephone
