Notwithstandmng the low price of cotton the people seem to be fairty weli supplied 'with cash. This is the result of buying .sparingly on credit during the crop muating seascn. It is a common sight these days to see men bring cotton to market and return home with the money in their pocket-, but a year or so ago such was not the case; it took all they could sell to pay debts. A railroad offcial was at Foreston last 'Th ursday receiving a lot of railroad tie~s and those he rejected wiere marked so with chalk.

The con mereial .whirligig of Manning was set in motion last i'hursia by l rviu & Barron, and some of the other merrchan:s on our -Broadway" i"iught the inspiration and joined in to make things lively. Etriy in the morning the front, of the stores b came imitation oriantal bzars, the siie walks were filled with goods and the awn ing braces were converted into Langig places for all kinds of wartes. To aitiiet the attention of tle passerby, yellow, red and green streamers we:e ilying in front of these stores where "special sales" were be mng offered. Harvin & Barron were the pt cneers in this special bargain basines, bat the ever disturbing lacket man was hit with the-exeiteiuent and he, too, proclaitm I "special bara:us.' Jeukinson, at the ol h"r end of the block, put out a "nigger" with a bell, another unigger" with a drum, another "nigger" with a transparency, and with this combination of noise he orga.,ized and put into execution a street par-ade, directing people to his store, where he was going to give them never-before-heard-of-bargainis. All day long crowds of people from every section of the county wre in town tking advantage of the opportunities to buy goods cheap. and, it the merchants tell the truth, the cash sales of the day excelled any pre ':ous dav of the season. It was a dv of hugtling,and the store that oifered the big gest bargains sold the most goods, tat it proved what enterprise can do. H:avii & Barron, determined to start this mioveme:t.., they advertised their intentions. The re suit was, it broutght great crowds to town to spend money, and as another result, a most active competition set in by those other merchants who saw the opportunity to sell goods. These young merchants certainly have in stituted more progressive ideas here, and young active, energetic, up-to-date blood has been infused into our commercial veins. Thcse merchants who are chging to the old order of things will either have to renounce them or get out of the way, be cause these young fellows have caught the idea that smuiber prenits bring larger sales. The ild tity per ceut. profit manner of do ing basiness is being forced off the bus nes track and the w:nner now must come to the small profit ra,:ket. The people who have the money to spend take the newspa pers and in this day of getting almost noth ing for their produce they are compelled to spend their cash where the most can be ob tained for their money. The question then to a business man is how to reach the peo ple, and offer them such inducements as will attract them. The man with the cash in his pocket is as indepencient as a wood sawyer. He does not, after he has raid his lien, feel under obligations to spend his cash at the same place unless that merchant will sell him what he wants as cheap as he can buy else where. He picks up his county paper and reads where another merchaut is offering goods so much cheaper than he was paying all the summer, when his waole property was ti d up in a z.ortgage, and as soon as he pays off his debt, like a prisoner treed fro:u bondage, he seeks the place where tne most advantage is given him. Human na ture is the same the world over, and people are going to throw aside all sentiment when it comes to spending their money. No man is going to give a merchant more for goods because he had a lien with him in the sum mer, when the other merchant will sell him for less; these young merchants realized this. They did not do a lien business the past summer, and, of course, tae leading public cannot score against theni "summer prices " Therefore they th:nk they have an advantage and whether it is imaginary or real, they are trying to convince the pub lic through the county paper and over their counters. It is quite common to bear these new merchants talk to their customers in this way, "I bought a very heavy stock and my bills must be met. I must sell these goods with or without a profit; they cannot stay on these shelves" Then a very telling argument now .being made is, "TIhis is a cash store and I cannot afford to carry over my goods to force on people who are com peled to buy on credit in summer. The credit man is not satisfied with a small profit because he can carry over his goods and make his lien customers take wh'. be chooses to let them have. If a lienor in te month of June wants a linen duster and his merchant has carried over a lot of over coats he can force off the ordicoat and the lienor cannot help himself." It is real funny to stand around and hear what is told "in order to push goods off. Every scheme and device is resorted to to create a demand for goods,and the old-time quiet, conservative manner of doing business has tae"' up its quarters at the cross roads shot.s as the push, vim, thrift and enter prise of the town has sent it into hiding. The practical object lesson exhibited in this town last Thursday of how business must be doing made some of our less push ing merchants stand in their front doors with their hands rammed away down in their breeches pockers, smiling with one of Brete Hart's grins; their faces warie looks as if a surprise party had struok them and inwardly they manufactured maledictions upon the heads of their wide awake com petitors. Let the ball roll, nobody wilt be hurt except that hard-headed set who will not more along w~ith the procession of pro gress, and if they will persist in standing in the way they will have to take conse quences if the small profit juggernaut crushes them out of existence. Thbe Fellow That Looks LIke im. Some fellow was in Charleston last week, got himself fiiled up with "red eye" and proceeded to '-do the town." He got tan gled up with a vile creature in the Tender loin district and when pulled he represent ed himself to be one of our citizens in order to shield his own identity. Mr. Pouncey of this county was not in Charleston last Wednesday-. Here is what the Sun day News has to say about the affair: '-A man fromn up in Clarendon county, namied J. 31. Pouneey, and Bertne Shea, a warm little member from MIazyck street, will indulge in a little legal bout before the recorder to-merrow morning. The case will be a hot one if some unforseen event does not turn up which will cause the miii to be called off. The bone of contention is either three or five dollars, Pouncey can't say exactly which. The Claren don man had the woman arrested yesterday morning on a charge of swindling him out of a unoal big pile of change. Pouneey says he be lieves B3ertie ileeced him out of five dollars. but rather than overdo the thing he will just split the ditlerence and call it three. "Pouncey struck tiie toivn with a pocket full of cotton noney t.nd a red paint bra h last Wernesday Like Oild Dog Tray he fe! in with otet coaaoy,and as a matter of cour-e cameo-ut at the little end of the horn" A Nove-l t'ase.

Major Handy is accompanied by his wife and Lieutenant A. C. Baker, his assistant. Thence the party will sail for Southampton and will start for home on Saturday. The friends of the major say that anxiety to complete his mission previ ous to the reassembling of congress and the final effort he made to attend the banquet tendered him by the American chamber of commerce on Wednesday last, caused his break down.
