When passing thiough Newberry the other day, the writer struck up with his old friend, C. H. Dudley, who got aboard for Columbia. Dudley j made his home in Anderson some fif-; teen years ago, when he was employed j by the C. A. Reed Piano & Organ Co., I leaving here for government service' during the Spanish-American war.! u,-> ttto- eorif n-aot hnv hnpcoc fnr lie Vf CL?> Otut V* CV kj LA J ?v* JV/w use in the Cuban campaign. Having been born in Mexico, where his father owned a large ranch, Dudley was thoroughly familiar with the ranches* in that country and Texas. After serving his enlistment in the Spanish-American war, Dudley went to South Africa, where he fought in the Boor army. Drifting about for some time, he finally landed in Newberry, where he was made manager of a large mercantile establishment. His business is a unique one in that| but little is sold for cash. A 'dollar down" buys a suit of clothes, a suit of furniture, a kitchen range or most anything in that line. A dollar a week payment must follow or the goods returned. For this reason Dudley is known in Newberry as "Dol- i lar Down." Few people know him as| C. H. Dudley. In fact, very few peo pie would know who you were talking about if he was addressed as Dudley. In Anderson a number of firms sell household goods on the installment plan, but we have never heard of clothing being sold that way. Dudley says if a fellow buy* a suit of clothes from him and fails to show up weekly with a dollar until the debt is paid in full, he pulls the clothes off his customer, regardless of where he finds him?at home or on the streets. "Dol lar Down" seldom loses a dollar by trusting customer?. "The Sooner the Bett?r.,,, Kingstree Record. Senator Tillman says that if the lowering or abolition of tariff rates is to bring about "soup houses and a general shut down, the sooner the better." That is tiie most sensible utterance we have heard from Senator Tillman since many moons. The democratic party's tariff doctrine is on trial and if it be a failure, the sooner the country at large find it out the better for us all. But we do not believe that tariff revision downward will be a failure. Did as She Was Told. Dr. Woods Hutchinson was once called upon by a young matron who had read his article on "Fat and Its Follies" in a popular magazine, and "wanted him to help her get rid of some of her fat. After a few questions he handed the lady a diet list, telling her to come back in two weeks. The good doctor's consternation can scarcely De imagined wnen ne saw ui? patient again. She weighed 20 pounds more. He was puzzled. His list contained no sweets of any kind, nor any fat producers, yet it was putting flesh on at an enormous rate. "You are sure that you ate the things on the list?" the doctor questioned severely. "Voc rtru^tnr " -ccac fhA "firm ATI swer.
