THEY could pay Cash as well as not, bul it's so con
venient to just step into a Store, get what is wanted,
and tell the Store-keeper to churge it. Yes, it's con
venient, but let's see how much you have to pay for
your so-called convenience. You buy a Suit at a
Credit Store for-say $10.00-and it's charged to you.
You could come to us and get the same quality of
goods for $8.50, but you would have to pay spot cash.
It costs you, in this instance, $1.50 to say charge it.
Sometimes we can save you even more on $10.00.
No one undertakes nowadays to claim to tell better
Goods than we do, or to sell good Goods so cheap as
we do, but our competitors rely upon giving credit as
an inducement for thoughtless people to pay them
much more than we ask for the same Goods. We sell
GOOD, HONEST CLOTHING, and if you become
dissatisfied with a purchase you make here, we will
give you-your money back if you want it.

THE GREAT REUNION.
Charleston Plans to Care for the Con
federate Veterans.
CHARLESTON, S. C., April 1.-Prepa
rations tor thc; Confederate Veterans'
reunion have now entered upon the
detail stage, but six weeks remaining
before the big occasion. The executive
committee and the sub-committee haye
been at work for several months laying
out. plans with great care, and these
are now being put into execution. The
prospects are that, the altair will be ex
cellently managed and that the Charles
ton reunion will be marked as the most
successful and enjoyable of these fa
mous gatherings yet held. The task of
entertaining the vast mitnbers that are
expected is no light one for Charleston.
When it is considered that at least 4.0,
000 people, and probably more, will
visit this city, and that the white pop
ulation of Charleston is far short of
that number, an idea of the undertak
ing can be grasped.
The question of accommodation for
this great crowd has been the most
serious problem presented, but it is be
lieved that it has been solved. The
housing and feeding of the visitors will
be accomplished chiefly by the citizens
generally throwing open their houses
to the visitors, all residences being for
the time turned into public hostelries.
Tlie committee in charge of this feature
has made a thorough canvass of the
city aud has induced nearly every
householder to undertake the enter
tainment of as many visitors as can be
stowed away. The response has been
generous, because it is appreciated that
in no other way can the crowds be
handled and the people are willing
to sacritice their personal convenience
io sustain the reputation of the city.
It is believed, therefore, that the ma
jority of visitors will lind bed and
board at reasonable rates in private
families. The overflow will be pro
vided for at public dormitories to be
administered by the committee, thc
various school buildings, public halls
and warehouses having been secured
for the purpose and now being fitted
up for use. Charleston is particularly
well equipped with warehouses suited
for these needs, having many exten
sive buildings along the1 water front,
where sanitary arrangements eau read
ily be attached.
The "Confederate Hotels1' for indi
fent veterans unable to pay board will
e established on the water front, near
the principal streets of the city, but
sufficiently remote to accord piivacy.
Commissary arrangements have been
made and the veterans will be excel
lently cared for.
THE AUDITORIUM.
The auditorium in which the conven
tion will hold its sessions is rapidly ap
proaching completion. It is a very large
and an extremely handsome building.
The exterior is finished, except the roof,
which is now being laid, and the in
terior work has been started. The
building will accommodate a*bout 7,000
people. It will be formally dedicated
on the evening of May ii, the day be
fore the reunion opens, a program of
special services having been arranged
for the occasion. The auditorium will
he used for a big reception to the spon
sors and fora Confederate song service
on different evenings during thc re
union, and possibly a series of war tab
leaux will be given there. It is admi
rably adapted for all these purposes.
Ol'ENINfi T1?K REUNION.
The reunion will be opened formally
on May 10. The veterans will be
formed in line of parade at the corner
of Broad and Meeting streets, in front
of the historic St. Michael's church, and
will march iii procession to the audi
torium, in departmental formation.
The procession will be reviewed by
General Gordon as it pusses Marion
square. General C. I. Walker, com
manding the South Carolina division,
U.C. Y., has been appointed by Gen
eral Gordon chief marshal of the pa
rade.
The convention will be called to
order by General Walker. Ile will in
troduce lirst Hon. F. IL Gary, speaker
of Die South Carolina house of repre
sentatives, who will read the resolu
tions passed at. the last session of thc
general assembly inviting the veterans
to Charleston in the name of the State.
General Walker will then present the
governor of South Carolina to welcome
the veterans on behalf of the State. It
is feared that. Governor Ellerbo, be
cause of his ill health, will not be able
to attend and discharge this duty, and
Lieutenant Governor M. 1>. MeSweeny
will probably act iii his stead. Mayor
J. Auger Smyth will extend the city's
welcome, and General Walker will
speak for the veterans. The conven
tion will then be turned over to Gene
ral Gordon.
ENTERTAINING THE VISITORS;
Besides the official receptions and
the reunions of various commands dur
ing the reunion, there will be much to
entertain the visitors, both veterans
and others. Charleston affords great
interest from a historical view, the
surrounding country, the bay with its
forts and batteries being rich in mem
orable scenes. A committee has heeh
charged: with marking the 'battlefields
around the city, and those points will
be visited by many who bore an active
part upon them in" thc great defense ol:
Charleston under Beauregard, Lee and
Ripley. Fort sumter will be open to
visitors, a special order from the secre
tary of war having been secured where
by the usual military rule barring visi
tors from forts is suspended. It is ex
pected that one or more warships will
be in the bay daring the reunion, tin;
secretary of the navy having promised
to detail any available vessels to the
purpose. Special effort will he made
to secure the Raleigh, which is now re
turning from Manila, as one of these
ships. The Raleigh will have particu
lar interest as being one of the vessels
engaged in the hattie at Manila under
Dewey.
There will be many private enter
tainments during tin; week, am'plans
are being made far in advance for re
ceptions and dances. Many visitors
are expected to take in the seaside re
sorts and sonni special entertainments
are-being arranged at the isleof Palais,
the beautiful ocean suburb of Charles
ton.
There will he ;i great pyrotechnic
picture ol' the liai I le ot* Mhha.ssa.s, which
will certainly arouse the veterans lo
enthusiasm,, and there will also bea
representation of some naval hattie,
whether ol'the civil or ol' Hie Spanish
war has not heen determined.

In Camp Near Augusta.
Xctcs (tuil Courier.
Headquarters Second South Carolina
Volunteers, Camp Mackenzie, Augusta,
Ga,, March- 21.-The entire 2d South
Caroliua is again united and is now in
camp near the city of Augusta, Georgia.
The members are all happy to bi- in the
United States again and so near their
homes, but the best thing is the near
ness of muster-out day. The officers
in charge of this work want to appoint
April 20 as the time, and it is thought
that all tlie work necessary can be
done within the next three weeks.
Our term of service now is short and
all Avant the end to come, so that the
uncertainty will be over and prepara
tions for civil life may be made.
The camp we are now occupying is
the one vacated some time ago by the
10th Ohio, and is a very pretty, clean
lila ce. The tents for tlie men are cir
cular and are in good condition, but
the officers" tents are all old and full of
holes. Every one of them leaks, and
all have beeii condemned by inspectors
long ago and so marked. The camp is
about five miles from the city, but the
street car line runs very near. The
ground is white saud and'makes a very
pretty camp. Some of the tents have
stoves in tneni, left by the Ohioans,
and they are badly needed, for the
weather is rather cold. It is particu
larly cold for these men who have just
come from a tropical climate.
I The Augusta people seem to be glad
to have our regiment here if the city
papers express the sentiments of the
citizens.
i The Chronicle this morning said in
part :
"For the first time in its brief history
Camp Mackenzie harbors home troops.
For the first time Southern soldiers,
j fresh from Cuba, rest within its con
fines.
"The 3d Georgia and the 2d Carolina
enjoy the distinction of being the onfy
troops from their respective States who
have seen service outside the national
confines, and interest in them is in
creased thereby. Soldiers have been
plentiful in Augusta for several months,
out the fact does not serve to lessen
thc welcome in the hearts of Augus
tans for the boys of Georgia and Caro
lina, lioth regiments have done well,
and both are appreciated by Augus
tans.
"The 2d is South Carolina's 'slow but
sure' regiment. 11 -was gotten together
at Columbia and from all parts of the
State, of which it is thoroughly repre
sentative, and ol' which, needless to
say, the State across the river is proud.
And, moreover. Augusta, too, is proud
of this' regiment. Coming from adja
cent territory, it seems like one of our
own, a feeling heightened by the num
ber of menin the regiment who have
friends in this city. The regiment is
glad to get to Augusta, glad to be once
again in "the States," and glad to know
that soon they will go home to their
own Slate proud in the consciousness
of duty well done.
"Tho 2d has an excellent reputation in
discipline, gentlemanly conduct and
health. Not a little of its good name
j is due to its corps of officers. Col,
Wilie Jones, its head, is as proud of il;
as his men are proud of him. Genial
and kindly, he has always been a.
friend, as well asan officer, and the
parting will be. one of mutual regret.
"In a brief chat with a Chronicle man
last night he spoke words of praise for
the regiment and then branched oft'
into expressions ol' pleasure at being at
Camp .Mackenzie, which he said, was
ideal.
'.'Wo have never," said he, "hada
more beautiful or better located cam])
than this; not even,'he added attora
moment, 'Camp Liberty in Cuba, which
was also very fine, v.*e. like Augusta
and we like Augusta's people. The
men have many frsends in the city,
whom they are again glad to be near."
"Just then some one in the little
group gathered in front of the Colonel's
tent said: 'Don't forget to say for us
that we think Augusta's girls are very
beautiful. Ah ! the. senoritas we have
met are pretty but the girls here are
far prettier.' And all this was said
with the soft Southern accent, so dif
ferent from the clearer enunciation of
the troops who lilied the camp a few
weeks ago.
"Tlie ?2d was mustered in bv degrees.
The first battalion, as a nucleus,Vent
into service last May, and around it
were gathered other companies taken
from every part of the State; until, as
Col Jones said, there was scarcely a
county in the State that ?lid not have
one or mon; members in tlie regiment.
It went to Cuba about three months
ago, being one of the four Southern
regiments in the 7th anny corps, under
Major Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
"Both these regiments are tlie last
either State has in the national service,
and it is fitting that the Governors of
South Carolina and Georgia should
embrace this opportunity to have them
pass in review. Governor Candler has
long been promising toc?me to Augus
ta on a visit, and it is urged now that
his presence is more than usually de
sired. lt is hoped that he and Govern
or Kllerbc will lind it possible to come
to Augusta on som?' day in the near
future and review both regiments.
And in this the citizens are. joined by
the men at: camp. They feel justly
proud of their co III mauds and want lo
have one more parade in Augusta."
Major Wagoners battalion reached
I camp from the.train early this morning,
Col. Jones met Hie battalion wit h the
band this morning, and escorted it to
cam]), which is about a mile from the
railroad track.
The rations are ?ow better (han ever.

Uncle Sam's Commissary Was au Easy
Prey.
A Hanta -Journal.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., March :)().
The tiling of a snit in chancery hy J. K.
Forrester; ol' Albany, Ga., against
Adolphus Horn, of Chattanooga, has
given rise to many rumors here involv
ing one of the biggest and most sensa
tional army scandals growing out of
the late encampment at Chieka manga
national park.
The suit was hied several weeks ago,
but pending its healing in the court of
chancery, au investigation was quietly
inaugurated and the rumors growing
out of this investigation, if true, show
that thousands of pounds of beef, liam
and bacon were condemned by both
commissioned and non-commissioned
officers and thousands of dollars were
reaped in by parties both outside of
the army and in the ranks.
lt is a matter of general comment
here that many cars of bacon were con
demned when as a matter of fact the
bacon was absolutely good, but in
order to secure its condemnation, it
became necessary for the officers and
outside parties to become engaged in
the wholesale trahie of skippers and
maggots, which were purchased and
placed on the bacon in order to In ve
it condemned.
Thousands of pounds of bacon, con
demned in this manner, were carted
out of the camps, sold to outside parties
and shipped to Chattanooga, where it
was sold to wholesale meat houses and
then sSiipped to all parts of the State.
In fact, it is said that vast amounts of
this meat, condemned by being tempo
rarily covered with skippers, found its
way to Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus
and even into the most remote comers
of the State, leaving the army officers
and outside parties interested with an
independent little fortune as the result
of the irregular and shadowy deals in
army rations.
SKHTEUS SOLU FOB Si A BOTTLE.
It is said on good authority here and
is generally believed that a wholesale
traffic in skippers and maggots was
necessary in order to carry out the
wholesale condemnation of provisions
of a perishable nature and that those
engaged in the manufacture of these
wiry and energetic creatures found the
army remunerative prey and an easy
j victim.
j The story that is told in Chattanooga,
retold again at Chickamauga park and
that comes from the lips of all the farm
ers and peddlers who did business at
the park, is that when meat was de
sired it was one of the easiest things
imaginable to get it condemned, sold
and then resold, sometimes a profit of
as much as 800 per cent, being made in
the deal.
According to rumor, principally ne- i
groes were engaged in the manufacturo j
of skippers, which were sold to parties j
wishing meat condemned. The ne
groes could supply any order for skip
pers that was left with them, as the !
weather was burning hot and skippers
were in abundance everywhere.
Two classes of skippers were in ex
istence; one class was the regulation
skipper that would bury itself in the
meat and carve out i belittle channels
and furrows in the oily substance; these
skippers wen; cheap in the market, as
they practically destroyed the meat on
which they were placed unless quickly
removed. Another class of skippers
did not enter thc meat, and as soon as
the meat was condemned', could be
shaken oft', leaving the meat in perfect
condition.
lt is said on good authority that these
skippers wen; in great demand and the
market price for them was $1 per bot
tle, and even then the most desirable
skippers were difficult to be obtained.
VAST ijL'.VNTITIKS COXOKMNKD.
Ir is impossible to ever know how
much good meat was condemned] The
records show how much meat was cast
aside, hut if was supposed that all of
it was bad. It is now said at the park
that nearly all the condemned beef was
good.
According to several who lived at
the park during the pr?sence ot thc
soldiers, it was necessary to first secure
tile confidence of cooks or non-commis
sioned otf?cers before it was possible
for outside parties to do any business.
lt; will be remembered that hundreds
of persons were hanging on at the park,
watching every opportunity to make
money, and Chickamauga* Park, at
Ly tie station, looked very mitch like
t he pictures of Dawson City in the first
days of th?' gold fever. More than 300
stores and shacks sprang up in a night
and farmers became merchants and
tramps assumed the role of peddlers
and army officers, it is said, seeing their
golden opportunity, closed their eyes
to tin." situation and counted their
profits at night after taps sounded.
Whether all these rumors are true or
not is speculation, but the fact that the
same story is given by all who saw the
operations of the army at the camp has
given them at least the color of truth
anil branded them worthy of conside
ration, if indeed not belief.
When the merchant contractors at
the nark wanted bacon, it is said they
would cany a bottle of skippers to the
cook or to the person whose confidence
I they enjoyed. The cook would throw
the skippers on the pile of bacon, the
officers of inspection would condemn
the meat; it would be carted away,
gathered np by the purchasers, the
cook would receive; his take-out and
more money would come to all inter
ested.

against a wild man from Greenwood,
when he struck Mr. Arnold. The fight

Last fall he fell through the cellar of
Robertson & Gilder's drug store and
broke his right shoulder, from which
he suffered long and painfully, finally
going north for recovery. Not long
since, in crossing a fence on his place,
the step of a stile on the other side
gave way and threw him backward
upon th* fence, which resulted in the
breaking of the other shoulder blade.
- S^me time since Constable R. M.
Wright and others, accompanied by
Sheriff W. W. Moss, searched the
premises of Seek Reed, colored, of
West Union, for contraband liquor.
After searching some time, a jug con
taining about a gallon of corn whiskey
was discovered. In ostfer to be sure
that it was the genuine stuff the State's
professional samplers tasted the whis
key and were thoroughly satisfied that
it was what they were looking for.
Rena Reed, the wife of Seek Reed, de
clares that this whiskey was prescrib
ed by Dr. D. B. Darby for bathing
purposes during the illness of Seek,
and that it was used frequently to bathe
his back and limbs, and that she had
used the same whiskey for herself in
