' ^^^^^ z^^/^^ * ' BY CLINKSCALES & LANGSTON. ANDERSON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. JULY 3. 1901. VOTJTMR Y*YVTi___i?n ? This is the Spot Gash You have heard so much about. The Store where Credit is unknown. The Store where Reliable Clothing is sold at a small martin of profit, smaller by far than any Credit Clothier can afford. We have told you this before, and we mean every word of it. If we weren't doing this very thing, instead of a large and prosperous Clothing Store you would find here simply an empty place. i ? The trade wouldn't come to us and pay Cash if they could get the same Goods at the same prices on a credit. People don't come here to trade because they like us. They have found out that it pays them to trade here. And it'll pay you, too. More customers are coming every month, and our busi ness is by far the largest we have ever known. Our Fall Clothing is here, ready for your inspection. . Here are some of the values we offer : Hart\ Schaffner la i loy* Clothes $5.00 Istfce lowpfioe we^lace onabigline of Men's and Young Hen's Suits. Blue and Blaok Cheviots, also Cassimers in Checke and Plaids. Every ono of them excellent value, and we doubt if a Credit Store can match them for a dollar more. $7.50 Is the small price we place on an excellent lineo? Hen's Suits in Bine and Black Worsteds, Blue and Blaok All Wool Cheviots. Also, Cassimers in Stripes, Checks and Plaids. These Suits are not usually sold at $7.60, but here you save at least a dollar to a dollar and a half on them. At $10.00, $12.50, $15.00, $16.50, $18.00 and $20.00 you will find an assortment that would do credit to a much larger ?ity. These Suits have to bo seen to be appreciated. But you can take our word for it that there's a saving for you at ?ach puce. * ?NM*?

Columbia, Sept. 12.-The State Dem ocratic Executive Committee met to night and officially declared the result. A sub-conimittee, consisting of Gov ernor Mcsweeney, J. G. Richard. Jr., J. M. Grier, A. J. Parrott and Cole M. Blease, was appointed to tabulate the vote. While they were out Col. .Jones called the attention ot tho committee to the fact that there were two or three constitutional amendments to he voted upon in the general election and I suggested that the committee print tickets therefor. This was agreed to. No one seemed to be very familiar with the purport of the amendments, except that allowing special legialation as to highways. Col. Crews made a motion that here after when a voter made a mistake in depositing a State ballot in a county box, or vice versa, that it be counted. Messrs. T. Y. and L. J. Williams and Governor Mcsweeney warmly opposed this motion, declaring that it would | open the way to fraud. Governor Mc sweeney said that instead of making the rules lax they should be made more stringent and, on a viva voice vote, Col. Crew's motion was lost by a large majority. Mr. Blease offered a resolution call ing to the attention of clubs that they must organize previous to an election according to Article 2 of the Constitu tion. It was stated that a number of violations of this article had occurred. After the tabulation committee had reported Governor Mcsweeney offered resolutions thanking Chairman Jones and Secretary Park for their splendid, untiring and fair work in conducting the primai/ and irr their uniform courtesy to members. Col. Jones replied, thanking the committee for the resolution and their expression of esteem and added that he had been born a Democrat and ex ?ected to die one. He spoke highly-of iv. Parka's assistance. The following is the official count of the second primary : Latimer 58,800, Evans 80,871; majori ty 17,010. Hey ward 50,880, Talbert 40,404; ma jority 10,880.

Those receiving a majority were de clared the nominees and the commit tee adjourned.-Special to News and Courier. Again the Short Line to the West. Again a project is on foot to utilize the gap through the Blae Ridge Moun tains on the northwestern edge of South Carolina in order to make a short railroad line from the west to the South Carolina seaboard. And on the face of it the pian looks more feasible than those that have been heretofore presented. The route in dicated by the projectors would make almost an air line from Memphis and Chattanooga to Columbia and from Cincinnati to Columbia. Many miles will be saved. Furthermore it looks from the connections at each terminus that the Southern railway might be more or less interested, though noth ing is known here as to what interests are concerned. Tho application fer a charier for the new company was filed with the Secre tary of State yesterday. The company ie to be known as the Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina Railway Company, and is to be capitalised at (250,000 with the privilege of increas ing to $1,000,000. The corporators are Wm. B. Frink, of Chicago, Merrill Skinner, of Bine Ridge, Ga., and Co lumbus B. Baugb, of Mineral Bluff, Ga. In this State the proposed rail road line ia to have the city of Ander son as one of the termini and tho other at some point on the Chattooga river in Oconee county, passing through the townships of Centerville, Anderson and Fork in Anderson county and Center, Toogaloo, Wagner and Chat tooga in Oconee county, going on via Clayton in Rabun county, Ga., through Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee to Charleston, Tenn., just outside the city of Chattanooga, a point on the Southern's southwestern main line from Lynchburg, Va., to Chattanooga, Tenn., and below. Anderson, West minster and Walhalla will be points touched in South Carolina. It will be noted that at Anderson the connection with the Southern via the Columbia and Greenville division will be made, and at Charleston, Tenn., the Memphis divisions of the t>ame line will be made, and the link will be almost an air line through the mountain walls, enabling trains to come throogb without going around by Knoxville on the one hand or Atlanta and Spartanburg or Augusta on the other. Here nothing is known of the corpor ators whose names are attached to the application for the charter tiled.-Co lumbia State, 14th inst. Extremely Low Rates By the Southern Railway to Wash ington.
