This is what we have been telling; y?? for go??? time, and
we haye, we believe, been the caxwo of lots of people paying
fis cash for Clothing and saving money.
But there are lots of people who are too high-stmng or
too short-sighted to buy from us.
The Clothing man who gives them credit is their only
Mend and price cuts Ll figure.
They labor under the impression that when the bill cornea
i
due money will be plentiful, but, al&sl how often they are
^disappointed.
Thon comes the tug of war. The Clothing man insists on
being paid.
You'll then look back and see how much better it would
have been had yon paid in Cash and bought th? same Goods
for less money*
Weoan and do m^U??^SM^
*f profit than Credit Stores can afford to. a
It's a plain business proposition, and here are some of
the reasons:
We get the Cash for every article sold.
We trust no one.
We have no bad debts.;
No losses to make up.
We have Tio book-keeper to pay.
And then we always do the square thing, whether the
?aie is 25o. or $25.00.
Compare our Goods and prices with those of Credit Stores.
Then trade where your judgment tells you.
' We don't w; nt your trade unless you are fully satisfied
that y pull be better treated here.

Our Cotton Experts Blamed.
To the Editor of the News and Cou- ]
rier: Your cotton men do not know
their business. Herein Hamburg and
Horn well counties a number of farmers
are planting a hybrid cotton with a
very soft, silky libre dud New England
mills are taking it readily now at 18?
ceuis the pound.
I made a small shipment of this cot
ton to a well known cotton linn of !
your city some time ago and they class
it as ordinary cotton. Cotton planted
from ihn seed grown upon the sumo
acre last year, taken from the same
seed pile this spring, grown under the
same conditions and of no better
grade, sold hi New England a few days
ago at lay cents.
I have ordered the fuctor to ship this
cotton to Now England and unless a
mistake has occurred that factor will
open his eyes when he hears from it.
Tho name and fnme of this cotton is
spreading like a forest Uro in a dry
time. Thousands of acres of it will bo
planted uext year and every bale will
go to New England. In ten years this
cotton will bo growing up to the city
limits of Charleston and no doubt will
bo shipped direct from farm to factory.
Charleston factors I fear are too
much interested in sea island cotton
and fear that a good grade of upland
long will injure tho value of sea island.
A prominent New England firm wrote
me last spring that the above class of
?otton wns being purchased because
sea island was scarce and high and
was being consumed in the place of sea
island.
The average Yankee knows a good
thing when he sees it. Two years ago
he conld get all the Egyptian long cot
ton ho needed at Alexandria at 81-8
cents, yei he tooK all the above men
tioned cotton he could get at 14 cents
tho pound.
The ruling price last year for Egyp*
tian on tho Nile was 12 cents, yet the
New England mills took ours at 14}
cents. This season Egyptian cotton
has declined, yet Carolina upland long
sells at 18} at the Northern mills.
Therefore prices warrant mo in say
ing that we have an upland cotton hero
tjh.it is superior to Egyptian and is
being uscdin the place of sea island.
Your cotton men may condemn it, but
that is not going to stop the planting
of this cotton. The experimental stage
has been passed, the Rubicon crossed
and, as tho armies of Caesar overrun
Britain, so also is this cotton going to
invade it and drive out in a measure
the half million bales of Oriental long
cotton sold there yearly.
Can we over-stock the long cotton
mnrketT The world produces now
about 1,200,000 bales of long cotton of
500 pounds. Egypt produces' over 00
per cent of this cotton, a low grade
brown cotton. The planters there
barely can live at present prices and it
would not be a hard job to drivo them
entirely out of the cotton business.
I dc not pose as a prophet, but! pre
dict that in the next decade the South
Carolina farmer is going to drive the
farmers of the land of the Khedive out
of tho long cotton market also consid
erably cheapen the values of sea island
cotton, and that he will stand upon a
business footing as solid as the rocks
of Gibraltar. This is no dream, no
sinister scheme for personal aggran
dizement, but a fact fraught with
blessings and freighted with prosperity.

Colony of Consumptives.
Denveu, Col., Nov. 20.?The Rocky
Mountain Industrial Sanitarium, or
ganized by Denver professional and
business men last spring, is now in
successful operation.
On a 10 acre tract, 5 miles from Den
ver, 15 or 20 patients in the early stages
of consumption are under the plans of
the promoters, virtually taking care of
themselves. The. rules of the institu
tion compel a continuous outdoor life
to be maintained summer and winter.
Each patient is provided with a roomy
tent, plenty of warm clothing and
blankets and :i small stove to be med
in extremely cold weather, Expe
riencehas proved that with proper food
and clothing and a life in the open air
and sunshine, artificial heat is unnes
sary and becomes absolutely unbeara
ble to the patients, who, without ex
ception, aro gaining rapidly.
The hope of the physicians and oth
ers back of the enterprise is to form a
great colony of nil consumptives who
come to Denver and thus take them oft'
the streets of the city and out of the
hotels nnd boarding houses where they
conld never recover and where they
are a constant mennco to tho public
health.
An*Original Suicide.
Denver, Coi?, November 24.?News
has just reached here of tho suicide of
Judge M. A. Rogers, formerly of the
Snpremo Court of Colorado,and one of
the ablest lawyers in tho State, on
Wednesday last at Steamboat Springs,
Colorado, where he had been all sum
mer with his wife.
The manner of suicide wan unuanal.
ludgo Rogers lay dews on th?? ground
with a stick of dynamite under him,
and lighting a cigar, fired the fuse
from it and calmly smoked until the
shock of the explosion ended his life.
Tho act was committed among some
willows near Bear River, jost inside
the town limits. No cause is known
for his taking his life.
Another Narrow Escape.
Legislators and other public authori
ties, who insist that the danger of liv
ing burial is too much to require care
ful and specific provisions to prevent
the possibility of such Beeret horrors,
will be instructed, again, by the report
of the nreidentr.l aversion of au iucl
dont of the kind which was telegraph
ed from Decatur, Alabama, yesterday.
The dispatch rends that James Winn*,
a blacksmith, narrowly escaped being
buried olive at that pln.ee two days
ago. "Ho was supposed to he dead,
and after tho funeral services his colli n
was oponcd at the grave?when he was
seen to moy?. He was hurried back
home, wboreVho revived, and ho is now
under treatment. Ho had been pro
nounced dead by physicians, and lay
apparently dead for two nights nnd a
day."
It was nobody's fault that he was not
consigned to tho most dreadful of nil
deaths. He was "supposed to ho
dead," ami "pronounced to bo dead"
by the physicians, who were supposed
to bo infallible in their judgment in tho
matter, and that was enough. His
friends and his family accepted the
judgment?at his risk. Ho was coffin
ed aud borne to tho edge of tho grave.
A few moments moro nnd all would
have been "over"?for his sorrowing
friends and relatives. His revival and
tho horror that followed would have
remained forever an unsuspected secret
to disturb nono of those whom it con
cerned. He was supposed to bo dead
and had boon pronounced dead. Why
take any measures?why wait a few
hours, even?to make suro that ho was
dead?
It is a question of some interest, nnd
it concerns every mortal man, how
many such incidents with less acci
dentally happy ending, occur in this
country every year ? A few have como
to light, here und there. In the nature
of the caso not many can come to light,
and some "narrow escapes" are rcpoi
ed nearly every year. How many
occur, in the darkness and silence to
which thoy uro'committed by loviug
indifference and legislative or other
official incompetence?
There is' one way nnd ono only, it is
to be repeated, by which those who
are responsible for tho determination
of tho fact of death can determine it,
in existing conditions of law and
knowledge on tho subject. The begin
ning of the process of dissolution is ah
unerring and Unmistakable evidence.
It should bo required, nothing lens
should fee accepted, ih ev< ry case of
death Where a shadow of doubt can

The Unitod Daughters of the Con
federacy closed its eighth annual con
vention Saturday, 10th inst., in Wil
mington, N. 0., to meet next year in

The monument will cost not less than
$50,000 nnd will bo in the form of an

Corner Creek Comments.
In our recollection we don't remem
ber ever having seen a more beautifnl
fall. It hnB been fair weather for
about two months, and the farmors
will doubtless never see just such an
other lovely autumn for gathering
their produce. We have not had any
rain scarcely since August, but now the
dark clouds seem to bo coming-back
again, sp wo may expect a lot of rain
this winter.
Our fanners have put a considerable
amount of wheat in the ground, and
we must note right here that Borne of
them have taken no little pains with it
either. Several of our farmers have
turned their land with a two-horse .
turn-plow," .followed by a subsoil with
two horses to it. After going through
this process, they harrow thoroughly,
then put in their fertilizer and sow.the
oafs and then harrow again. We firm
ly believe that thoBe who have pre
pared their land this way will make
more grain to the acre than the way
they have been putting it in. Yes, Mr.
Hunnicutt, we have broke the "hard
pan." ,.
' lost of our people will observe
Thanksgiving, which we deem very
appropriate, and think all should rest
and give thanks on that day, but some
work on just the same. ,
We very often hear yonng people re
mark, "I got lef t,y or "I got it in ihe
neck." Well, yve all get left more or
less, but the best joke we have heard
recontly was on two of Calhoun's prom
ising young lads, who had engage
ments with two of our fair young la
dies a few evenings previous. It was
a very blustery evening and th? lads
didn't venture out, bo you see it was
somewhat of a disappointment to the
girls, who were "diked" and eagerly
awaiting tho arrival of the young gents,
b;*t, alas, they did not come. Say, boys,
ib chat tho best you can do?
Wister Bigby, of Greenwood, was
here last week visiting relatives.
There will be quite a number of vis
itors in our midst on Thanksgiving.
There will also be a party and a gay
time is anticipated.
Misses Helen Latimcr and Lou Aus
tin, two of Broadniouth's charming
young ladies, were in our midst Sunday
