Another new firm is opening business iz Sumter in the handsome building recently erected three door below the court house. Over the door in letters of gold appears th< firm name of DesChamps Brothers.

These genitlemer are Clarendonians, ant went to Sumter few years ago to establish for themselves business that any firm in the State would feel proud of. To say they have succeedeo would be putting it mildly. Tiheir store it one of the largest in the city, and they do:e business second to none. Their immense trade was built up by having the advantag< of a large capital and by giving their busi ness the strictest kind of attention. Noth ing that will prove advantageous to then escapes their attention. They keep a mag nificent line of goods, selected with the ut. most care, and have a full corps of experi enced salesmen. Honest goods and busi. ness principles are the pillars upon whici hisestahlishwnet solicits patronage. The Cotton Market. The outlook for very low prices in cotton is not so gloomy as it was two weeks ago, a result of the great damage to the crop by the heavy rains. The loss is put down at one third, though this is probably overesti mated. Tle market, anyway. is at present firm, and the better grades will bring a fair price. Inferior grades will bring a low price and should be sold at once as the market is already overstocked with inferior cotton, while the better grades are in de mand. Two weeks ago, Aug. 25. middling cotton sold in Charleston for 7.621; one week ago, r Sept. 1, it sold for 7.6Sf: and yesterday, Sept. 8, it sold for 8.121,-showing a gain of fifty points in two weks. Manning has now a reguhlir cotton buyer from one of the largest export houses in the South, besides all our merchants also buy cotton, thus making this a first class cotton market, and we think our farmers will make money by bringing their cotton here. e Give this market a trial anyway. L-ension Checks. The clerk of the court informs us that he received last Monday a check for $564, for the pensioners of this county, and that he commenced disbursing the fund to-day. Each of the pensioners receives twelve dollars in cash instead of a check as here tofore. Those pensioners entitled to pen sions can get the money by calling on Mr. Davis at his office . The last pension checks were for eleven dollars each, making twenty-three dollars a in all paid this year to each Confederate pensioner. a t] Tom Asked to Explain. S EIrroa THE M irNxo Tims:-In your issue of 20th August last your correspondent "Tom" speaks of the suffer ing of Panola section concerning a foul deed that had been committed, etc. He h calls no names and I imagine that many people in the county are at a loss to know - who he has reference to. Now, Mr. Editor, I write to ask if it is fair for "Tom" to write from o:ur section in such general terms. May there not be an object in this? ( Why not call names, and let the people know all about it? I have been informed that "Tom" told a reliable gentleman in our section that he had been too hasty in writing and inten ded to correct it in the next issue of your paper. I find that he has not corrected it. Now the question arises, Why has he not done so? Is it not his du ty as a fair reporter from our section to do so when he finds he is mistaken? Let us hope that he will do so at an curly day. CITIZEN. Panola, September 7, 1891. Salem News. Died last Monday near New Zion Mrs. Martha McIntosh, aged about forty-tive t years. Died last Friday at Pine Grove Mr. W. L. McDonald, aged about seventy years. Mrs. W. 0. McIntosh, formerly of this county but now of Florida, is on a visit in the New Zion section. Mr. B. B.

Brockington's drug store is f not only a good place to get the best and purest medicines, but the young people will find a large selection of the choicest kinds of candies, warranted pure. Then he has a selection of perfumeries and other toilet articles, that will please the ladies. And the gentlemen can always find a cigar i there that will make them think life a glo rious dream full of all love and beauty and happiness. And as to chewing gum, the little ones say it is mighty good. Dr. B3rockington is determined to please the people, and all he asks is an examina tion of his stock. Advertising Indicates Success. The estimate of a town is often made up from the progress its merchants are mak ing, and there is no better way to show the outside world the progress of its merchant~s than by advertising their business in the lecal papers. Every progressive town attributes the greater part of its success to thorough ad vertising. Every successful merchant ac knowledges that advertising pays, and there is no better time to advertise than wher your stores are full of goods. Let the peo ple know what you have for sale, and the inducements you have to offer. Competi tion is the hfe of trade, and by announcing special and liberal inducements in the pa- e pers that the people read, you attract them ' to your stores. The consxgience is that C your stocks are sold, your sales increased, and the people are satisfied. The MAxase TIMES claims to be a first lass advertising medium, and has a circu lation among the people that you expect patronage from. Place your advertise ments in its columns and let the readers know that you are soliciting their patron age.- Advertise. Low IPrices in Manmtng. In conversation with Mr. M. Levi, the oldest merchant in this place, wve were pleased to hear him predict that the busi ness of this fall, from a force of circum s'.ances, will be conducted upon a basis of the strongest kind of competition, and that this is one season the farmers will have no cause to complain about high prices for their winter supplies. As far as he is concerned, he says that goods will have to be sold, and the merchant that clings to old-time ideas will have his goods left on his hands. He further said that he would stake his repu tatiort as a merchant that no other merchant S has bought a better stock of goods than his, or is better prepared to meet competition. Without a doubt, Mr. Levi's store presents the appearance of having been carefully stocked. His dress goods department is t filled with a handsome line in everything belonging to that department, and we be lieve that the most fastidious lady can be suited there. He has an immense stock of shoes from somle of the best manufacturers in the United. States, and his clothing coun- . ters are piled with everything in the cloth ing line. Mr. Levi says these goods must be sold, regardless of the price of cotton, and the people that give him an opportu nity of supplying them with their winter's oods will secure race bargains.
