BT-.WILL'PAY Y?U S Our Shoe Department is full of good Shoes for Ken and Boys, and you know when we say good Shoes we mean Shoes that will give entire satisfaction to the weaber ; if not, your money hack. We are very particular when we buy our Shoes for we know now often the public has been imposed upon. Ali of our Shoes are bought direct from the manufacturer, and by that means we get inside prices. It takes the Spot Gash, but as we sell for Cash we can pay Gash. It pays us to buy for Gash and it will pay 5 ou. Kost Shoe dealers buy from Jobbers se as to get time. That's one reason we can sell you a bettor Shoe for the same money than Credit Stores, and another is they have to ask more so as to ? losses by bad debts. 8!?oe prices here begin at $1.60 and end at 83.50. At $1.50 we can give yon a well-made, solid leather, Satin Calf fthoe, the kind Credit Stores ask yon $1.75 for. At $2.00 we have a black Vici Kid Shoe that ail Shoe-wearers should get acquaint ed with. We believe it's the best value ever offered yon for $2.00. Credit Stores would make a big blow if they sold one as good for $2.50. That's mighty strong talk, especially for us, bu t it takes strong talk when it comes co tai ? Shoe. It will stand it. Our $2.60 Shoes come in Box Calf, Viol Kid and Patent Leather. Each Shoe in this line is a genuine English c:: goodyear welt. If yon have been elsewhere to look you'll think we made a mistake and priced this line 60c. too low. They do compare most favorably with most Credit Stores $3.00 Shoes. $3.50 gives you our best Shoes, and as good as most dealers brag Shoes at $4.00. These are Evans' $3.50 Guaranteed Shoes. We have them in the following leathers: Box Calf, Viol Kid, Patent Vici, Begent Kid, Enamel Calf and Velour Calf. The new styles just in. Come in and see our Shoes. ANDERSON. wS. C.

Divorce, it scorns, is very essy in Turkey,-andr?es not require a judge and* jury tb eettle mattere. All-that is necessary ia for tho injured party to say <fI divorce you" three times, and the deed is done. The husband lias to make tho wife a proper al lowance, and all is over. A case oc curred recently which is rather amusing. A certain Turkish gentle man is a keen amateur gardener, and his garden contains at all sea sons a brilliant show of flowers, to which Uo devotes most of his time, rather to the disgust of Ins wife, who is never allowed to cut them. Not long ago his chrysanthemums were in the height of their glory when a tremendous downpour of rain came on. This threatened to destroy the magnificent blooms. Seeing the danger, the gentleman j called all His servants and set to work to carry the pots into the house and arrange them np both sides of tile staircase. When they had finished, the lady suddenly ap 5eared and fell into a violent rage, eclaring that her husband thought more of bis flowers than he did of her and that he insulted her by bringing earth into, the house. Nothing would appease her. She said be was defiling her house by bringing dirt in, and she would di vorce hun. She sent for her sister ip coxae and be a witness of the di vorce and, setting to work with her women, bundled all tho flowers ont again. When the sister arrived, however, matters were settled np, and the divorce did not take place. On another occasion the same lady sent her small son down to breakfast in a pink shirt and green tie. The father was shocked at this barbarous combination and made a remark to'the Engihh governess, who sent the child buck to chango his tie. But down came the lady of the house in a furious rage, saying she knew how to dress the child, that a pink shirt and a green tie were in the best of tasia and Bhe would not remain to be insulted by his giving preference to the opin ions of an English girl. Again ,she threatened to divorce him, but again it fell through, as the husband could not find the $3,000 he would haye had to pay her until her wrath had cooled._., ' ' Hobbles Lead to Madness. That well nigh every hobby can, if overridden, bear its rider towarri insanity is proved by the lamenta ble number of cases of people whe have succumbed to the fatal influ ence of a top keenly fixed leading idea. Enjoyed in reason, a hobbj is tho best safeguard imaginabh against mental ill health, but whet followed np with undue persistence it only too often acts as a sheri route to the asylum. Witness, for instance, the case o: the brilliant French novelist/ Guy di Maupassant. This famous writer to ward middle life took up merely a ? hobby the study of occult science and spiritualistic phenomena. Orad nally the absorbing nature of tin weird research fascinated him si deeply that ho could not speak, thin! or dream or aught else. Sleep de serted him, appetite failed him, ant finally his actions became so errati that for the sake of his own oaf et; his friends were'compelled to plac the unfortunate author, under mill restraint. He ended his days short ly afterward within the wa?s of th sanitorium to which he had bee: conveyed. ?

FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL. From Our Own Correspondent. WASHIKGTOK, D. C?, Feb. 10,1002. Mr. Roosevelt's favoritism toward his friends is getting more conspicuous all the time. Gen. Leonard Wood has been guilty of a real and serious in fraction of army rules and discipline in sending letters to Senators asking ear ly action on reciprocity for Cuba-lob bying for a matter that depends upon legislation by Congress-but is not to be reprimanded or even politely told that he has done wrong, while the com mander of tho army was publicly rep rimanded and humiliated for having merely expressed an opinion of a duty that had been officially performed by another officer. There are two reasons why Gen. Wood has not been called down for his bad break. One is that he is a chum of Mr. Roosevelt's, and the other that his lobbying is in the in terest of what Mr. Roosevelt is trying very hard to bring about. But it would not change the atatas of Gen. Wood's act if his lobbying were in the interest of something desired by nine-tenths of the people. Only a week ago Mr. Roo sevelt issued an order forbidding em ployes of the government asking any thing of Congress under penalty ot" dis missal, and hore is a major-general of the army using government stationery and official envelopes to write, letters to Senators asking for legislation. Mr. Roosevelt forgets that this is a govern ment of the people, and not of the fa vored few, jut he can rest assured that he will be called to account through the ballot box for his attempts to create ti class of privileged favorites. The House devoted last week to the Oleomorgarine bill, which was passed, and will now take up the bill for the repeal of the war taxes. Representative Warner, of illinois, who was present, thus described the Republican House caucus that waa held last week to decide whether a new Force bill should be made a party meas ure at this session of Congress, and which adjourned for a week without reaching a conclusion : "When we got into the caucus all the geese began, to fly around galley, and they cackled as though they wore there for all day. lt was a very merry time they were hav ing, when that sly old fox, 'Uncle Joe' Cannon, hove upon the scene. The. sight of him made them pause, and there was much less noise in the legis lative chamber. By and hythe noise grew again and another sly old fox, Mr. Payne, of New York, came into view. He stopped the noise altogether.' It is not likely that the caucus to be held this week will endorse the new Force bill, as all of the men who are recognized as Republican leaders and who remember tho results of similar attempts hi the past are apposed to it, because they believe it would. be sure to give the Democrats a big majority in the next House. Borne of the long-headed Republi cans in Congress are trying to persuade Mr. Roosevelt to veto the intention of bis daughter, Miss Alice, to attend the coronation of King Edward. They have told him that they will have trou ble enough explaining why a special embassy was appointed at a heavy ex pense to attend the coronation without having to explain the presence there of the daughter of the President of the United States, but the result is yet in doubt. Miss Alice has inherited much of her father's stubbornness, and her season in Washington society, where the toadies have turned the heads of many older and more experienced wo men, have given ber a taste of having her own way; 8be has accepted the invitation to attend the coronation, and her father knows it will not be an easy task to compel her to withdraw that acceptance, if he were disposed to have her do so. The railroads are expecting to profit by having got Senator Elkins, a rail road mao, made chairman of the Sen ate Committee on Inter-State Com merce. Mr. Elkins has introduced bill legalizing railroad pooling of rates and abolishing imprisonment as a pen alty for the violation of the Inter-State Commerce Law, substituting a tine therefor. He would just as well have had his bill repeal the law entirely, as the fear of having to pay a fine if con victed would not influence the men who control the big railroads at all. The Republican Senators did not have the courage to vote for Senator Stewart's amendment to the bill in creasing about one-third the salaries of Federal Judges, providing for an in crease of $2,500 in the salaries of Sen ators and Representatives-that is, on ly fifteen of them '"(id-but they voted solidly for the bill without the amend ment, nt d it waa passed. Senator Bai ley, of Texas, made his first speech in the Sen J?te, and it was a . rattling good one, too, against this bill, and every Democratic Senator voted' against it. That fact will not be forgotten in this year's Congressional campaign, in which Republican extravagance will be an issue. ' Senator Hoar presented ? petition ic the Senate, signed by a number of dis tinguished citizens in all sections of this couuify, aekiugf ?vf ? Bunrnju?i?? ?f hostilities in the Philippines, and that an opportunity bo given fot a discus sion ot the Situation between this gov ernment aud tho Filipino leaders. Representative Cochran, of Missouri, enid of the resolution he introduced in o H ou pp to invite Hon. Paul Kruger, resident of the South African llepub 3, to visit the United States aa the lest of the country: "The country is >on to pay $40,000 for the entertain ent of Prince Henry. Why ahould e not extend tho glad hand also to om Paul ? We do not ueed to spend 10,000 on him. We should only need ? give him pienty of good tobacco ad furn IHU him with nf ree ride around vcr the country to see what a big pow- ag p we are getting to bo." Senator Jones, of Arkansaa, has in roduced a bill increasing from $8.00 to 12.00 a mouth the pension of Mexican 'ar veterans who are seventy years old r older. dr th ha st A Big Fire at Elberton.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Representa tive Latimer, of Souh Carolina, ha. in troduced a bill which if passed will give to free) schools the proceeds of millions of acres of land at $1.25 per sore. It isa measure providing for equalization for tho several States of the Union in the grant of public lands for sohool purposes. The bill provides that scrip for cer tain amounts of land be given to the States to which no portion of the pub lic domain has heretofore been appor tioned, or which have not received an equal share, and that this crop is to be Bold and t ho J proceeds used in main taining free public school systems in those States. Doctor to Yield 3!g QWS Body to Knife. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-As an outcome of the dispute in the medical frater nity between vivisectionists and anti viviiectiouists, Dr. James E. Rus sell, of Brooklyn, has offered to submit to vivisection. His offer is not considered seriously by physicians and it is altogether un likely that a member of the profession would attempt such a thing, even if the law would permit. Dr. Russels uffe? makes the proviso that his wife and family aro to be oared for in the event of his death. In his statement Dr. Russell says: "I will, when able, assist my vivisec tors by snob notes es may be of in? terest or value to them and to me. The experiments are to continue until I am too much exhausted to be of any use, or succumb. Should I survive at the end of a year's observations and experiment I stipulate I may elect to be released from further service should I so desire." C. &. W. C. 1000 Mila Books Good on Plant System.
