ILEVI BROTHERS] COTTON IS LOW AND MONEY IS SCARCE, With such a condition of affairs, the business man is put to his trulmps to study out the most effectual way of meeting the people and sharing their burdens, to remedy the bad effects caused by any turn in affairs which op erate adversely to the people. It is unnecessary to in troduce myself to the readers of The Times, they know me, and they know full well that my many years of ex perience, both as a farmer and a merchant, give mec a de cided advantage over many others. I have used my ex perience that it may count for the best interests of my business. In doing this I had to study the needs and and wants of my patrons, studying their condition as wvell as their welfare, because upon their welfare de pends my success. Every business man. to keep up with the progressive spirit now pervading this country must study the markets just as a lawyer or doctor must study his books. This must be done or lie cannot buy his goods to meet competition. I have made deals by which I can sell goods at prices that cannot be duplicated anywhere, and I am going to do it. A visit to my store will convince any buyer that my immense stock has been selected with the greatest care, and contains everything that can be used in the family, or on the plantation. There is no store in this section of the State that has a more varied assortment of Foreign and Domestic Dress Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, Trimiminigs, Olothing Hats, Gents, FurnishingGoods Shoes, Hardware and Cutlery Sadlery, Harness.

YOURS TRULY, . W. fckeod. MOBLEY IS NOT SATISFIED. He Urges Negroes to Act With Demo crats In the Future. Co~raxnIA, S. C., Sept. 2b.-Rev. June Mobley, who has always been a shining light in negro Republican circles and once represented Union county in the legislature, is far from satisfied with the -resent status of negro Republicans in South Carolina. Negroes are, he says, distrustful of their white leaders. He kept quiet, he says, while the "lily whites" and "blacks and tans" were having the fight to see what would come of it. The "lily whites" got everything that was to be given by the administration, while the negroes got killed in the Phenix election riots, and now the Tolberts repudiate the negroes. He opposes the deportation of negroes, for he realized the race is treated well in the south, and he wishes to establish a plan by which negroes and white Democrats may meet on common ground, come to an understanding and "freeze I out" white Republicans who are after keeping up trouble for the offices in it for them.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 23.-Julia Mor rison, the leading lady of the farce com edy, "Mr. Plaster of Paris," shot and instantly killed Frank Lieden, the lead Ing man and stage manager of the same = company, at the opera house in this city = last night. A large and fashionable audience had gathered, and the orchestra had just concluded the opening overture, when three shots rang out on the air. Two came together, then a pause. and the third. No one stirred in the audience until one of the actors came before the cur tain and announced that an accident had occurred to the leading man, and quietly dismissed the audience. The woman and her husband, Mr. James, were immediately arrested. The tragedy grew out of a succession of bitter quarrels, the last of which took place at the afternoon rehearsal, at which time Miss Morrison-or Mrs. James-slapped Lieden's face. The coroner's jury, on the testimony of the eyewitnesses and the members of the company, found that "Lieden came to his death by deliberate and premedi tated murder at the hands of Julia Mor rison James." WESTERNERSCOME SOUTH. People of a Wisconsin Town May Colonize In Georgia. ATLANTA, Sept. 23.-A letter from Sparta, Wis., which reached Secretary of State Phil Cook yesterday, indicates that a large number of people of that town and elsewere in the state are prt paring to form a colony for the purpose of coming to Georiga. The communication is one in which the secretary of state has every confi dence, since it comes through an official of Monroe county, Wis., to whom ap plication had doubtless been made as to pthe conditions in Georgia. C. H. Stevens, registrar of deeds, in his letter asked for facts concerning the climate, soil, price of land and educa tional advantages to be found in this state.

The communication is the second of the kind to be received from the north west in the past week. The first letter * reaching Secretary Cook was from a French philanthropist, who is now in St. Paul preparing the way for sev eral colonies of French peasants, who are to be brought to America.

PARIS, Sept. 19.-The council of min isters decided today to pardon Dreyfus. tl 'he order was telegraphed to Rennes m and the prisoner left there in a few d< hours. He proceeded to Vern, where he took a train for Nantes. His departure C was completely unnoticed. The announcement that Dreyfus was P to be pardoned had already been dis counted by predictions and there way absolutely no excitement displayed alon g the boulevards when newsboys ran along - at about 3:15 p. m. with the first edi- Si tions containing the statement that the tt cabinet had decided to pardon Dreyfus. m The newspapers sold quickly, but there was no rush for them upon the part of th the boulevarders. si Those who bought the papers sat down in front of the cafes and read the re announcement without comment. Every 9 one expected it and the decision met it with no opposition. o The Droits Del Homme, the Socialist b organ, said: 1 "Our task remains the same after as before the liberation of Dreyfus, to con tinue the campaign against all thoseD' who are responsible for the lamentable i affair, and unmask the forgers, traitors hi and false witnesses, even though they may be covered with glittering decora. tions."
