THEY could pay Cash as well as uot, but ?t's so con
venient to just step iuto a Store, get what is wanted,
ami tell the Store-keeper to chnrge it. Yes, it's con
venient, but let's see how much you have to pay fur
your so-called convenience. You buy a Suit at a
Credit Store for-say 810.00-aud it's charged to you.
You could come to us and get the same quality of
goods for 88.50, but you would have to pay spot cash.
It costs you, in this instance, 81.50 to say charge it.
Sometimes we eau eave you even more ou 810.00.
No oue undertakes uowadajs 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.
Clmrlestou Pinns tu Tare for the Con*
federate Veteruus.
CUAUI.KSTON, S. C.. April 1.-Prepa
rations I'm-tin- Confederate Veterans'
reunion have now entered upon tin
detail stage, hut six weeks remaining
ho fore the big occasion. Theexocutivc
committee and thcsuh-cninmittco have
been at work for several months laying
out plans with great ear?', ami these
arc now being put into execution. The
prospects ar?' that the artair will be ex
cellently managed and that the Charles
ton reunion will be marked as the most
successful and enjoyable id' these fa
mous gatherings yet held. The task of
entertaining the vast numbers that are
expected is no light one for Charleston.
YVlieu it is considered that at least 40.
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.
Thc question of accommodation for
tins 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 bein?; for
thc time turned into public hostelries.
Tlic committee in charge ol' this feat tin'
lui? made a thorough canvass of the
city and has induced nearly every
householder to undertake the enter
tainment of as many visitors as eau be
stowed away. The response bas been
generous, because it is appreciated that
in no other way can the crowds be
handled and the people are willing
to sacrifice their personal convenience
to sustain tlie reputation of the city.
It.is believed, therefore, that the ma
jority of visitors will timi bed and
board at reasonable rates in private
families. The overflow will be pro
vided for at public dormitories tobe
administered by tin? committee, the
various school buildings, publie balls
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 the" water front,
where sanitary arrangements can read
ily be attached.
The "Confederate. Hotels" for indi
?eut veterans unable to pay board will
e established on the water front, near
thc principal streets of the city, but
sufliciently remote to accord privacy.
Commissary arrangements have been
made and the veterans will be excel
lently cared for.
THE AUDITORIUM.
The auditorium in which thc conven
tion will hold its sessions is rapidly ap
proaching completion, lt is a very large
and au 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 about 7,000
people. It will be formally dedicated
on the evening of May ti, thc day be
fore the reunion opens, a prograni of
special services having been arranged
for the occasion. Thu auditorium will
be used for a big reception to the spon
sors and fora Confederate SOUK service
on different evenings during thc re
union, and possibly aseries of war tab
leaux will he given there. It is admi
rably adapted for all these purposes.
OI'ENIN<? THE ItEUXIOX.
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 in procession to the audi
torium, in departmental formation.
The procession will be reviewed by
General Gordon as it passes Marion
square. General C. I. Walker, com
manding thc South Carolina division,
U.C. \ ., has been appointed by Gen
eral (Jordon chief marshal of thc pa
rade.
Thc convention will be called to
order by General Walker. He will in
troduce lirst Hon. K. It. Gary, sneaker
of the South Carolina house* of repre
sentatives, who will read the resolu
tions passed at the last session of the
general assembly inviting the veterans
to Charleston in tho name of the State.
General Walker will then present thc
governor of South Cand?na to welcome
the veterans on behalf of the State. It
is feared that Governor Kllerbe, be
cause of his ill health, will not he able
to attend and - discharge this duty, and
Lieutenant Governor M. H. McSweeny
will probably act in his stead. Mayor
J. Auger Smyth will extend the city's
welcome, and General Walker will
speak for tho veterans. The conven
tion will then be turned over to (le?e
ral Gordon.
KNTERTAIXIXG THE VISITORS.
Resides the. oiliciai receptions and
j the reunions of various commands dur
! iug thc reunion, there will be much to
entertain thc visitors, both veterans
and others. Charleston alfords great
interest froth a historical view, the
surrounding country, the bay with its
forts and batteries being rich in mem
orable scenes. A commit tee has been
1 charged with marking the battlefields
around the city, and those points will
he visited by many who bore an active
part upon them in the g.eat defense of
Charleston under Beauregard, Lee and
Ripley. Fort sumter will bc open to
visitors, a special order from the secre
tary of war liaving been secured where
by the usual military rule barring visi
tors from forts is suspended. It is ex
Kectcd that ono or more warships will
o in thc bny during the reunion, the
secretary of tho navy having promised
to detail any available vessels to the
purpose. Special effort will be 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 battle at Manila under
Dewey.
There will be many private enter
tainments during the week, and plans
aro being made far in advance for re
ceptions and dances. Many visitors
are expected to take in the seaside re
sorts and some special entertainments
are being arrangea at tho Isle of Palms,
the beautiful ocean suburb of Charles
ton.
There will ho a great pyrotechnic
picture of thc battle of Mannssas, which
will certainly arouse the veterans to
enthusiasm, and there will also be a
representation of some naval battle,
whether of the civil or of the Spanish
war has not been determined.
BATTLE OF FLOWERS.
Probably one of the most attractive
features of the week will be the battle
of Howers, to be held on thc battery on
May ll. This will be an exact repro
duction of the famous carnival held
each year in Nie? and imitated ?ti many
cities af southern F.uropc. Leading
society people will take part in thc
cornival, all elaborately costumed and
in mask, beautiful dont? ami deco
rated equipages will pass in procession
around llie battery ami alter being re
vio wed the occupants will engage in a
battle of llowets and compete With
each other and with the maskers on
foot. Handsome prizes will be tillered
for the best costume and the most
beautifully decorated vehicle.
Tlie tintinee commit tee has been very
successful in raising funds for the re
uni?n. The response ot the eiti/.ens
lias been very generous and then-will
be no lack of money to earr\ out the
plans that have bein made. Tile
whole city will he illuminated ami in
festal garb, business generally will be
suspended dilling the week, ami
Charleston will he stirred up as she
has not been in years.-.1 llanta

lu Camp Near Augusta.
Sen's ami ( 'mirier.
Headquarters .Second South Carolina
Volunteers, Camp Mackenzie, Augusta,
tia.. March' ?1.-The entire 3d South
Carolina is again united ami is now in
ea inp near t he city of A u trust ti, Georgia.
The members at e all happy to be in t lie
United States sixain ami so near their
homes, but the best tiling is the neat -
ness of muster-out day. The olticcrs
in charge of this work want to appoint
April SO as the time, and it is thought
that all the work necessary can be
done within the next three weeks.
Our term of service now is short and
all want the end to come, so that the
uncertainty will be over and prepara
tions for civil life may be made.
The camp weare now occupying is
the one vacated some time ago by thc
loth (lido, and is a very pretty, clean
place. The tents for the men are cir
cular ami are in good condition, but
the ollicers* tents are all old ami full of
holes, livery one of them leaks, and
all have been condemned by inspectors
long ago and so marked. The camp is
about live miles from the city, but the
street car line runs very near. The
ground is white saud and makes a very
incl ty camp. Some of the tents have
stoves in them, left by the ohioans,
and they are badly needed, for the
weatheris rather cold, lt is particu
larly cold for these men who have just
come from a tropical climate.
The Augusta people seem to be glad
to have our regiment here if the city
papers express the sentiments of the
citizens.
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,
fresh from Cuba, rest within its con
lines.
"The :id Georgia and thu Sd Carolina
enjoy the distinction of being the only
troops from their respective States who
have seen service outside the national
confines, and i ut crest in them is in
creased thereby. Soldiers have been
{dentiful in Augusta for several months,
nit the fact does not serve to lessen
the welcome i ii the hearts of Augus
tans for the boys of (Jeorgia and Caro
lina. Hot li regiments have done well,
and both are appreciated by Augus
tans.
I "The Sd is South Carolina's 'slow but
sure' regiment, lt was gotten together
at Columbia and from all pat ts of the
State, of which it is thoroughly repre
sentative, and of which, needless to
say, the State across titi' river is proud.
And, moreover, Augusta, too, is proud
of this regiment. Conting 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 State proud in the consciousness
of iluty well done.
"The Sd bas an excellent re] mt at ion in
discipline, gentlemanly conduct, and
health. Not a little of its good Hann
is due to its corp:- of ollicers. Col.
Wilie Jones, its hem!, is as proud of it
as his men are proud of him. Genial
and kindly, he has always been a
friend, tis well asan oltlcer, and the
parting will be on? of mutual regret.
"I n a brief chat with a Chronicle man
last night be spoke words of praise ba
the regiment and then branched oft'
into expressions ol' pleasure at being at
Camp Mackenzie, which he said, was
ideal.
"'Wc have, never,* said he, 'hada
more beautiful or better located camp
than this; not. even,'he added altera
moment, 'Camp Liberty in Cuba, which
was also very tine. We like Augusta
and we like Augusta's people. Tho
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 torus
that we think Augusta's girls tire very
beautiful. Ah ! the senoritas we have
met arc pretty but thc girls hen- ur?
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.
"The Sd was mustered in by degrees.
The first battalion, ns ti nucleus, went
into service last May, and around it
were gathered other companies taken
from every part of thc State until, as
Col Jones said, there was scarcely a
county in the. State that did not have
on? or more members in the regiment.
It went to Cuba about three months
ago. being one of tho four Southern
regiments in the 7th army corps, under
Major Qen. Fitzhugh Lee.
"Both these regiments are the 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 Lave them
fiass in review. Governor Candler has
ong been promising toc?me to Augus
ta on a visit, and it is urged now that
his presence is more than usually de
sired. It is hoped that he and Govern
or Ellerbe will lind it possible to come
to Augusta on some day in the near
futtirc and review both regiments.
And in this the citizens arc joined by
the men at camp. They feel justly
proud ot' their commands and want tb
have one more parade in Augusta."
Major Wagener's battalion reached
camp from the.train early this morning,
Col. Jones met the battalion with the
band this morning, and escorted it to
camp, which is about a mile from thc
railroad track.
The rations are now better than ever.
Capt. Fuller and Lieut. Newman, who
mustered us in at Columbia, are here to
muster us out.

given risc to many rumors hort* mvoh
mg ono ot'tilt1 biggest ami most sensa ?
tioual army seamlals growing mu ul I
the late encampment nt Chi?-knmuiiga
national jiu rh.
The sun was tiled several weeks ago. |
but pending its heating in th*- court of i
chancery, au investigation was quietly
inaugurated ami thc rumors growing
out of this investigation, il true, show
that thousands of pounds of beef, ham
and bacon were condemned by bot li
commissioned ami non-commissioned
officers and thousands of dollars were
reaped in liv parties both outside of
the army and in the ranks.
lt is a matter ol'general comment
here that many cars ?d' bacon were con
demned when as a matter of tact the
bacon was absolutely good, bill in
order t?? secure its condemnation, it
became necessary I'm-the otlicers and
outside parties to become engaged in
the wholesale (rallie of skippers ami
maggots, which were purchased and
placed on the bacon in order to have
it condemned.
Thousands ?d' pounds of bacon, con
demned iu this maimer, wen- carted
?mt of the camps, sold lo outside parties
and shipped to Chattanooga, where il
was sold to wholesale meat houses ami
I hen shipped to all parts of the Stale.
In fact, it is said that vast amounts td
this meat, condemned by bein^ tempo
rarity covered with skippers, found its
way lt? Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus
anti even into the most rent?te corners
of the State, leaving the army officers
ami outside parties interested with an
independent little fortune as thc result
of the irregular ami shadowy deals in
army rations.
SKIl'IMCItS std.li HUI .*1 \ lit i r I I !..
lt 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 und energetic creatures found the
anny remunerative prey and an easy
victim.
Tim story that is told in Chattanooga,
retold again at Chickamauga park ami
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 nittch as SOO per cent, being mude in
the deal.
According to rumor, principally ne
groes were engaged in thc manufacture
of skippers, which were sob! to parties
wishing meat condemned. The, ne
groes could supply any order for skip
pers that was left with them, nu the
weather was burning hot und 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 oat the jillie channels
ami furrows tu the oily substance; these
skippers were cheap in tho market, as
they practically destroyed th?^ meat on
which they were placed unless quickly
removed. Another class of skippers
did not enter the meat, ami as soon as
the meat was condemned, could be
shaken ott', leaving the meat in perfect
condition.
It is said on good authority that these
skippers were in great demand und the
market price for them was >M per bot
tle, ami even then the most desirable
skijipers were ditlieult to be obtained,
VAST ?O A NT IT I KS CONHKMXF.U.
li is impossible to ?'vcr know how
much good meat was condemned. Th?
records show how much meat was cast
aside, but it was supposed that all ol
it was bad. It is now said at the par!
that nearly all the condemned bool was
good.
According to several who lived at
the park during thc presence ol' the
soldiers, ii was necessary lo first secure
the confidence ?d' cooks or non-commis
i sioned otlicers before it was possible
for outside parties to do any business.
It will be remembered that hundred."
of persons were hanging on at I ho park,
watching every opportunity to make
money, ami Chickamauga * I'ark, at
Lytle station, looked very much lik?'
tlii* pictures of Dawson City in th?5 first
days ?it the gobi fever. Afore than :?K:
'stores and shacks sprang up in a night
! and farmers became merchants and
? tramps assumed the role of peddler*
and army otlicers, it is said, seeing theil
golden opportunity, closed their eye*
to the situation "ami counted theil
profits at night after taps sounded,
Whether all these rumors are true ot
not is speculation, but the fact that tin
same story is given by all who saw the
operations of the army at thc camp Ino
given them at least the color of trtitli
und branded them worthy of conside
ration, if indeed not. belief.
When thc merchant contractors al
the park wanted bacon, it is said they
would carry n bottle, of skippers to thc
oo?ik or to the person whose cnnlidcuci
they enjoyed. The cook would throw
the skippers on the pile of bacon, th?
officers of inspection would condemn
the meat; it would ho carted away,
gathered up by th?' purchasers, tin
cook would receive his take-out ami
more, money would come to all inter
