We don't hesitate to put our reputation back of the claim that the ma terial of our Overcoat is better and the prices we sell them for are lower than your experience can recall, and tue reason we can sell Overcoats for less than the other fallon* io because we sell for Spot Cash. Don't have any bad debts to make up on our trade. Don't have any book-keep ere to pay, and don't have to boy our Gooda on credit. We pay Cash for our Goods, and by doing so wo save mousy. You can do the same if yon trade here; : Our Overcoats are priced from $5.00 TO .50 And at every price there is ? saving for you- Other Stores can copy bur prices, but the Goods are different, and you'll see that the difference is in our favor if you will but investigate. Should you fail to see our line of Goods before buying you will have only yourself to blame, for we are anxious to prove what we've said. Strong talk, maybe ! But-ur Goods and Prices will convince you that every bit of it is true. . 0. Evans & Co, THE SPOT GASH CLOTHIERS. WHITE FRONT. My Cash Plan Pays My Patrons. CAN'T help it. No other way out of lt.

IMcOULLY BROS. ^pSJiEETHINA SHS '^IfflfflfWffT o-~????T*? -" ?* -?srsisMP^ BS D., GT. LOUIS* BftOj FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL. i ] From Our Oicn Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 29,1900. President Cleveland has registered and presumably intends to vote. But he does not intend to advise any body else. He has given out an authorized statement on the subject, which rends as follows: "I am surprised that i?y opinions and intentions as related to the pending canvas should nt thto stage so suddenly be deemed import ant. I am daily ?nd nightly sought out by newspaper reporters aud politi cians with all sorta of nu^-st'on?; *on: of which seem quito senseless. If in good nature I say a few harmless words, they ore so padded before publication as to be unrecognizable, or are made the pretext for utterly unau thorized presumptions. It seems to me that my situation ought to be suffi ciently understood and appreciated by thoughtful friends to justify in their minds my determination to remain silent during this exceptional and dis tressing campaign." This means, of course that Mr. Cleveland is still op posed to free silver as he has always been, and that he is also opposed to the imperialistic politics of the Repub lican party. His views on the li n an ci al question are parallel with those enter tamed by thousands of Democrats who are this year supporting Mr, Bryan on the issues of imperialism and the trusts, feeling that those issues are paramount. President McKinley has undoubtedly done well to keep silent in this cam paign and to refuse to rorke any speeches, os thereby he avoids tho necessity of making any explanations, leaving this to his second in command, Governor Roosevelt, who can better afford to insult and browbeat any one who asks for information. Among other questions that Mr. McKinley might ftnd hard to answer if he were making addresses, is one sent to him in writing by Senator Jones, Chairman of tho Democratic National Commit tee. Mr. Jones says in his letter "The instructions given to the Com missioners on the part of the United States to negotiate the treaty with Spain in Paris in 1898 have never, so far ns I know, been made public. When the treaty was before the Senate for ratification there was a great de mand that these instructions should be made public. BIM; for some reason and doubtless not an unimportant one, this desire was not gratified. The President in his letter of acceptance quoted a part of these, as I understand; secret instructions. I addressed him ina note on Octobers, calling hi? at tention to this fact and requested that as part of the instructions which he considered favorable to the position of his politico1 party was so used by him the remainder should be made public Conceiving it impossible that the Presi dent of the United States would use part of a secret document for the ad van cement of his personal fortunes and the interests of his own political party and at the same time refuse to the publie the remainder of this docu ment, I expected to have a prompt answer from the President. I have now waited for more than two weeks and have not had the honor of an ac knowledgemeut even of the receipt of my note." Of course, the President can ignore this as long as he is not on the stump. He undoubtedly wishes to do so because he knows that there mainder of the instructions would show a lamentable caso of wobbling on his part. Attention has recently been called to a most remarkable statement by Governor Roosevelt, who boasts, with details, how he shot a Spanish soldier at the battle of San Juan, while the latter was running from him and uns only some thirty feot away. The Governor says: "When we reached the trenchc3 we found them filled with dead bodies in the light blue and white uniform of the Spanish regular. Lieu tenant Davis1 first sergeant, Clarence Gould, killed a Spanish solf ier with his revolver just as the Spaniard was aiming at one of roy Rough Riders. At about the same time, I also shot one. 1 was with Henry Bradshor, run ning np at the double, and two Span iards leaped from ?ho trenches not ten yards away. As they turned to run ? closed in and fired twice, missing the first and killing the second. At the time, I did not know of Gould's ex ploit and supposed my feat to be unique." Certainly the Governor's action in telling it is unique. So far as known no officer in modern war fare has heretofore boasted of shoot' ing down a flying enemy in cold blood. American officers and men have ac cepted the duty of fighting and killing the enemy as one of the sad neceser ties of war, bnt have sought to win no glory by gloating over the widows and orphans they were forced to make. Other "great" warriors have been forced to speed the fatal bullet or thrust the deadly sword, but they have sought to forget it. They certainly never boasted of it. Anyone who ? qnes?css thc accuracy ot this state ment will find it related in Colonel Roosevelt's book, "The Rough Riders," printed immediately after tho Spanish War. The "foll dinner pail" is not every thing, even if Mark Hanna thinks it is. At Sing S?sg Peu?loati?ry, Mt. Bryan I called attention to tho fact that the nave full dinner pails and yet are not tiappy. Some of tho inmates, those cvho aro there for the more serious crimes-ave assured of their full dinner pails for a long period of years, some Cor lifo. Yet they aro not contented, although Senator Hanna thinks '.hat they should he. Those that entertain Buch ideas of tho all-sufficiency of the fall dinner pail, and who think it is the only thing that need bo promised to a workingman to win his vote, gen erally have very well Ailed dinner pails of their own. They generally have some good, liberal salary from the Government office bestowed hy Mr. McKinley or fat trust dividends made fat by sp?cial laws enacted by the Republican party. These are not clamoring for a change. Why should they? Wi J. Bryan hus answered the qnery of the Republicans as to his course, if elected, in regard to silver, and it is to be hoped that ?hey are satisfied witli the reply. Like Lincoln, Mr. Bryan refuses to cross a bridge until he conics to it, nor to construe before it is neces sary a Republican law in regard to which Republicans differ so widely as they do on the gold law. He says: "I want the Republicans who nsk that question first find ont-what the law re quires, and then I want them to know that if elected President I will enforce that law j ant as I will enforce the law against trusts, and nut striped clothes on-big thieves as well as little thieves. But if you ask me to construe a Re publican In '.?, I reply that I shall not construe a law until it becomes my duty to enforce it." Tillman Stiojr*. JOLIET, 111., Oct. 28.- Senator Till man, of South Carolina, has been mak ing some hot speeches in this section of the country. Here the other day he said: "I am not here to make any apolo gies for South Carolina. We are giv ing to the negro ju?t such a share in the Government of our State as he is capable of exercising-and that is d-? little. We were forced to do some wrongs, perhaps, in dealiug with this question, and 1 admit it. There were more colored people in South Carolina than there were whites and wo wero forced to get down the shotgun when they attempted to have these blacks dictate to us what form of government we ehould have. You men of tho North would have done tho same. You would not have stood it one year. "How many men are there in this audience who believe that there is a black man living good enough to make laws for a white man? If you people want to see black heels on white necks then yon try it on yourselves first be fore you attempt to force it on ua. There is not a colored man living that should dictate to the white citizens of this country. "Yes, we occasionally lynch a nigger down our way. The only difference between our way and yours up here is that when one of those niggers rav ishes a wife or daughter we hunt him down until we are sure of the right man and then we shoot him down as you would a rattlesnake or a wolf. That's our way. Up here you people get excited, as you did at Akron, Ohio, and kill a couple of innocent specta tors and burn up a couple of millions of dollars' property. Some of you make a lot of noise about our not giv ing the bk k roan a 'fair trial' down our way. Why don't we let tho Courts try the case? Because we men of the South are not white-livered enough to permit our .rives and daughters to go before the Court and publicly rehearse the details of the crime; that's why. And wo are going to keep right on doing just as we have done as long ns we have any shotguns left. What do wo want of any more black men in this country when we cannot trent decently those we already have here?. "The Republican party n. w wants to have free citizens here and subjects on the other side of the sea. We will not have it, and unless you people vote it down next month wo will be forced some day to shoot it down with our rifles. Let's kill the snake in the egg before it is hatched out." Tillman said ho did not want it un derstood that he hated the negro. As a matter of fact, he said, he had color ed servants in his family, and he trusted them with his keys and his pri vate business. They were gentlemen, he declared, and worthy of respect. But he did not think the illiterate and the ignorant negro should have any voice in the Government. Sneezed to Death.

"I Want to Die in Harness." Tho survivors of Jenkins' brigade will recall tho name of Rev. John N. Craig, who was tho chaplain of the Fifth S. C. Regiment, mid who was earnest and faithful in tho discharge of his duties. Ho was highly esteemed by tho soldiers, and thc othcers with whom ho was associated for ?everal years had a strong nftcction for him. After thc war lie was presented with a copy of tho Bible, neatly bound in three volumes, by his former comman der, Col. Asbury Coward, and on the Hy-lenf was this inscription. "Towy friend and former chaplain, Rev. J. N. Crnig, this book is presented as a token of my esteem for him ns priest and patriot, and of my affection for him as a friend." Ho was pastor nt Lancaster, S. C., when the war began, and re mained in that vicinity after the sur render until 1870, when ho accepted a call ti Holly Springs, Miss. For tho past sixteen yonrs Dr. Craig hat, been tho general secretary of homo missions for tho Southern Presbyte rians, and his residence W?IB in Atlanta, Ga. He was in attendance this week upon tho synod in session at Newport News, Va., and while ho was making an eloquent address upon home missions Dr. Craig was seized with sudden pain, fell into tho nearest chnir, and there was no need of an earthly physician, for he had passed into the confines of tho eternal world.

This wish was fulfilled, and tho brave chap lain of tho gallant Fifth has gone to rejoin many of his comrades on the other shore, where "nation shnll not lift up n sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more," for pence hath won her eternal victory. Dr. Craig had un appointment to ad dress tho synod of South Carolina the next day at Florence, and no doubt there were joyous anticipations in his breast of reunion withformor comrades and friends, but tho reunion awaiting him was of a differentcharacter, reveal ing tho glories and mysteries of the heavenly world.

FLORENCE, Oct. 29.-Tho capture of a whiskey still on the hanks of the Pee Dee river in lower Florence County Saturday, proves the existence of nt least a few moonshiners in this County. Constable W.

Constable Rowell brought the outfit including the kettle and worm to Flor? ence Saturday night, and unless the United States authorities interfere, it will be shipped to headquarters in Co lumbia.

The moonshiners had so iii-ranged things that they could lower the still into the river at the ap proach of any intruder, and pull it up again when the scare had passed. The constable and his assistant had no trou ble in bagging the still and they are proud of their work. No arrests have been made.
