I LMI MUilli il, LVI DROTHMa SUMTER, S. C.

We are prepared to supply the trade with all manner and kinds of General Merchandise at prices to defy competition and at the same time give to the buyer the quality. Foreign and Domestic Dry Goods, Dress Goods, e Trimmings, Notions, Fancy Goods, Clothing, C Shoes, Hats, Gent's Furnishings and Groceries.

That we are in. touch with the exporters of cotton and we can and will pay the very highest market prices for the fleecy staple. Our store has earned a reputation as headquarters for farmers and we pro- E pose to keep it up. I I Goods Are Cheap. I Will Sell and Do Not Propose to Oarry Over . Any Fall Goods. With such a condition of affairs, the business man is put to his trumps 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 mn troduce myself to the readers of The Times, they know me. and thiey know full well that my many years of ex perience, both as a farmer and a merchant .give me 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 well as their welfare, because upon their welfare de peads my success. Every business man, to k. p 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 he cannot buy his goods to neet competition. I have made deals by which I can sell goods at prices that cannot be duplicated anywhere, and I amt 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.

YOURS TRULY, . W. fcLeod. PRESIDENT M'NIEY LAYS CORNERSTONE Federal Building Ceremonies Occur at Chicago. NANY NOTABLES PR~ESENT A Mighty Cheer Goes Up F+ rom the Ai. sembled Thousands as the Exceutiv Throws the First Truw ful of Moir tar on the Limestone Block. CHICiAo, Oct. 9. - Surrounded by men who guide the diplomatic relations of three governments, and in the pres ence of thousands of spectators, Frehi dent William McKinley today formally laid the cornerstone of the magnificent new federal building of Chicago. The event was the crowning feature of rhe week's celebration, mark-ng the annua) observance of Chicago day. Long before the hour e-t for the cere monies the streets surrounding the bloc1 on which the steel skeleton of the nev building stands were packed from curt to curb with pushing. jostling people anxious to get a glimpse of the nation'. president and the distinguished visitor from other countries, while every wn dow in the gaily decorated skyscraper; surrounding the federal building was taken advantage of. Even on the steel girders of the federal building itself were perched hundreds of venturesome curiosity seekers. In the angle formed by the south and west wings of the federal bu'ldin; al Jackson boulevard and .Uearbort street, and in front of the Uciun League club building, reviewing stands had been erected for the accommodation of the distinguished visitors, including Vice President Mariscal and party of Mexico, Premier Laurier of Canada anc other notables of that country; mem bers of President McKinley's cabinet and the diplomatic corps at Washing ton, senators and congressmen a(c other invited guests, and when Presi dent Mckinley threw the first troweifn of mortar under the uplifted block o limestone and pronounced the corner stone set, one of the most notable gath erings ever in Chicago looked en. Cheers For the President. Shortly before 10 o'clock a roar o cheers from down Jackson boulevarc announced the coming of President Mc. Kinley and his party. It was wit] considerable difficulty that the troops of cavalry and the police forming the pres ident's escort cleared a space wide enough for the carriages containing the president and members of his cabinet and other guests to pass, and as the car riages slowly made their way up the boulevard toward the federal building, the applaute became terrific and continu ous. The president frequently arosE and doffed his hat in response. At the entrance of the Union League club the president and members of hi! party alighted and after a brief recep tion were escorted across Jackson bouie vard to the platform in front of the federal building. A perfect hurricane of cheers greeted the president as he was escorted to the dais, at the side of whicl the cornerstone was suspended ready for the ceremony. The president warmly greeted the officials, then turned and bowed to the ground of brawny armed workmen whc were to complete the laying of the cor nerstone. Judge Christian C. Kohlsaat, chairman of the consmittee on arrange nents, introduced Seu:'ttry Gage as presiding officer for the cornerstone exercises. The secretary was warmly cheered as he stepped forward. At the conclusion of Secretary Gage's brief address Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus ofered a brief but impressive prayer, the president and all the members of his party uncovering as Dr. Gunsaulus asked a blessing on the ceremony. Secretary Gage introduced Postmas ter General Smith. He was also greeted with much applause. MIcKin.'-y Lays the Stone. The actual ceremonies of the laying of the cornerstone then began. 0. E. Kremer, secrotar'y of the federal corn mittee, arose and formally announced that the stone was ready and read the list of articles placed within. President Mcinley was introduced by.Secretary Gage and as the president stepped for ward to receive the trowel from the hands of Architect Henry Ives Cobt the crowds again burst forth into cheer after cheer, the applause not ceasing until the president raised his hand. The president then stepped to the side of the uplifted mass of Illinois lime stone and taking a trowelful of mortal from the board, he threw it on the base of the stone. As he did so a band sta tioned in the reviewing stand 'played the "Star Spangled Banner," and as the notes ef the national anthem were heard, the crowd again broke into cheers, the noise almost drowning the music. President McKinley then pronouncec the stone set, and resumed his. seat as the workmen settled the stone in its place. Senator William E. Mason was next introduced and made a brief address in behalf of the city of Chicago. The ceremonies concluded with the offering of a benediction by Archbishop Feehan of Chicago. President McKin e and party then arose and were again escorted across the boulevard to the Union League club, where the president was the guest of the federal committeE at luncheon.

DOUTHIT GETS A HEARING. Writ of (Cert1irr -,ni.d by Judge Adchat Co:t.unbia. COLv~im A, S. C., Oc t. 9.- A writ o: certiorari has bocen iss3ued by Judge James Aldrich in the case of ex-Com, missioner Douthit. and today week the state boa:rd of control is required to pre sent a return to the writ in this city, certifying the entire proceedings. The wiole dispentsary sensation thus gets into (curt and MIr. Douthit will have his side of the case heard.

C., Oct. 7.-After sev eral months of sparring, the Western Union and the state railroad commission have come to an amicable agreement about rates. At cne time it seemed that suits against Bhe company and much litigation wuun.i result Irom the position taken by the commission, which was that the rate on 25 cent messages should be reduced to 24 cents. This was to go into effect to make the company pay the " revenue stamp. Ater holding consultations with the commission and the attorney general, the legal representative of the Western Union made another proposition which has been accepted. It does not affect a large part of the state. The substance of the agreement is that all messages in South Carolina will be at the uniform rate of 25 cents. Heretofore there have been a number of points between extreme sections where the charges have been 40 cents. The Western Union objected strenu ously to making a precedent of paying for revenue stamps. BIt. OF EXCEPTIONS FILED. Suit Against the Central Goes Before Supreme Court. ATLANTA, Oct. 7.-A billof exceptions in the case of the state against the Cen tral Railroad of Georgia has been filed in the Putnam superior court by Judge Turner of the prison commission. The bill of excebtions was filed by the counsel for the state since the judg ment of the court was rendered in favor of the Central railroad and against the contention of the state that the Central had violdted the constitution in defeat ing or attempting to defeat competition. The bill, it is understood, does not allege any specific error in the decision of Judge Hart of the Ocmulgee circuit, but is based on the broad ground that in deciding that the Central railroad had not violated the constitution by the 1 purchase of the Middle Georgia and Ea tonton branch road, the court was in the wrong and had committed error. The effect of this, it is said, will be that before the supreme court the entire case will come up for revision and not any one particular point in it. 1 BRUCE NAMES A RECEIVER. Talladega Light and Water Company Is In Trouble. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 7.-A bill has been filed in the United States court here by the State Trust company of New York against the Talladega Light and Water company, asking for the ap pointment-of a receiver for the defend ant company. Judge Bruce of the United States district court, who is in Montgomery. was apprised of the na ture of the bill and appointed T. L. Bil lingrath receiver of the company. This suit is upon certain bonds issued by the defendant company, and it prom ises to prove an extensive and impor tant piece of litigation. The complain ant is represented by Root, Howard, Winthrop & Stinson of New York. The Root at the head of this firm is no other than Secretary Elihu Root. About $60, 000 in bonds is involved in this suit. REGISTRATION TOO LARGE. New Orleans Books Show A bout Fort y Thousiand Voters. NEW ORLEANs. Oct. 9.-The regis tration books for the municipal election, which closed Saturday, show a white registration of 38,226; negroes, 1,358; or a total of 39,584. There is an impression that the regis tration roll as it stands is larger than it. should be. This is based on the sup posed white population of the city. It indicates that there is a registration of more than one voter in five, or five and a half of the population, the common average, unless the total white popula tion has been underestimated in the past. Of course, the revision of the books will cut the number down, but the erasure of many names will riot indi cate that .vaud has been attemiptedl. The dead, for instance, will amount to a considerable figure. Then there are those who have removed. A Nap ha Lannach Explodes.
