This is the month when most Bien need Seasonable - - . - If yon are one of the needy ones you f should look at the line we *how. IT WILL PAY YOU ! ! ! OUR Shoe Department is fall of good Shoes for men and boys, and you know when we say good Shoes we mean Shoes that will give entire satisfaction to the wearer ; if not, your money back. We are very particular when we buy our Shoes, for we know how often the. public has been imposed upon. All of our Shoes ?re taught direct from the manufacturer, and by that means we get inside prices. It takes the Spot Gash, but as we sell for Cash we eau pay dash. It Pays Us to Buy for Gash, and itu Pay You ! Most Shoe dealers buy from jobbers so as to get time. That's one reason we can sell you a better Shoe for the same money than Credit Stores, and another is they have to ask more so as to make up those losses by bad debts. Shoe prices here begin at $1.50 and end at $3.50. At $1.50 We can give you a well made, solid leather, Satin Calf Shoe, the kind Credit Stores ask you $1.75 for. At $2.00 . We have a blaek Viol Sid Shoe that all Shoe wearers should get acquainted with ; we believe it's the best value ever offered you for $2.00. Credit Storks? would make a big blow if they sold one as good for $2.50. That's mighty strong talk, especially for uo, hut it takes strong talk when it comes to -this Shoe-it'il stand it. Our $2.50 Shoes Come in box calf, viol kid-and patent leather. Eaoh Shoe in this line is. a genuine English or Goodyear welt. If you have been elsewhere to look you-.U think we made a mistake and priced this line 50c. too low. They do compare most favora bly with most Credit Store $8.00 Shoes. $3.60 gives you our best Shoes, and as good as most deal ers' brag Shoes at $4.00. These are i Keith's Konqueror $3.50 Shoes. We have them in the fellowing leathers: box calf; patent vici, vic! kid, regent kid, enamel calf and velour calf. The ? new styles just in, ?ome in and see our Shoes.

"Whatever you vraat if you wish for it long, With constant yearning and fervent ' desire: If your wish soars upward on wiugs so strong That they never grew languid and never tire, Why, over the storm clouds and out of ; the dark It shall come Hying some day to you, j As tho dove with the olive branchview to the ark, And the dream you have cherished it shall come true." We presume had the editor asked for a million dollars instead of news and correspondents it should como "Hying to him." Piedmont is proud as well as gener ous, and she says: If we are worth having we are worth asking for, and this week, as representative of the In telligencer, the. correspondent's ears were attentive to all our friends wished to say. Since the retirement of the Sun-Her ald, a weekly once published and with regret discontinued l>y Mr. A. S. Row ell, whose duties as postmaster, libra rian, student, etc., precluded a publi cation which he termed a "labor of love," the people of Piedmont have not interchanged largely in print the little accommodating news which happily S-eats andie received by neighbors, oreover, that vainglorious and busy being known as a gossip is not indi genous to the streets ol Piedmont, so that her nows has lain coiled on the top of grandfather's clock or foi gotten bet?re it is repeated. A few of our estimable citizens have left for Anderson. Piedmont in her , regrets thinks, in point of value, it ' must have in return twice as many An der8onians to secure her quota of citi zenship.

Now Oscar Callahan!, a compe tent young business mun, URB gone to enlist his energies in management of the dry goods department-of Horn Bass Co., Anderson.

The opening millinery sale at Trow bridge Co. proved a clearing sale, so competent is the head milliner, Mrs. M. W. Goldsmith, and the younger artist, Miss Qenevive West, to appre ciate and please the tastes of custo mers. Miss Emma Johnson, of Greenville, superintended the millinery opening at the Mahon and Arnold branch. This di y goods honpo, under the manage ment of G. C. McEacham, is proud of its selection of agreeable clerks in the Sersons of Miss Anna Charles, Messrs. ames Cal In ham, R. W. Henderson, J. D" McNeil, Henry Ashmore. A new friend in the senior member of the latest mercantile firm, Wiging ton & Alexander, proved to be an old correspoudent of the Intelligencer-J. E. Wlgington. As "Ned Needle," about three years ago, the young mer chant was ono of the proudest contrib utors in Brushy Creek. For many years "Ned Needle" expended the force of his energetic genius on that letter in the Intelligencer which gave him so much pleasure and his friends enter tainment. Of Mr. Langston, the edi tor, his memory cherishes the purest and loftiest regard; -nd as citizens of Piedmont have him now, th?t *&ine appreciation will endear, and sustain him in business relations. Mr. Wig ington's partner, J. F. Alexander,ls reliably known and highly respected in business circles in Piedmont. Octobers R. R. L. A Card. Auton, S. C., October 6,1003.
