"THERE ARE NO TRUSTS," Says Mark ilainna. "TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLA(G," Saybs McKinley. TilE LEVI BROTHERSmter Haven't the time to investigate either of these assertions, they are too busy handling the tremendous amount of cotton that is flowing into Sumter by reason of the high prices paid. This firm is largely responsible for the great influx of the fleecy staple to Sumter, by offering a better price than the producers can get elsewhere. Their stock of DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, SHOES, HATS & GROCERIES Is in keeping with their advanced methods of doing business. In this establishment everything is measured by business rules, and no customer is permitted to go away displeased. For many years the Clarendon farmers have made their headquarters with us and have given us a large share of pat ronage. REMEMBER That we do not permit any house in Sumter to undersell us, and that our stock of General Merchandise was never more complete. We ask our friends in Clarendon county, when they come to the Sumter market to buy, to make an inspection of our immense stock which was selected with great care in the very best markets. 00rDon't forget that we pay the very top prices for cotton.

ATTORNEY AT LAW, Calls promptly answered day or night Polite, but Embarrassing. A pretty little miss of about 14 sum mers nearly broke up a wedding party at Linwood a short while ago. It was about the first wedding that she had ever attended. and she felt the impor tance of the occasion very much. After the ceremony she noticed that the peo ple went up to the bride and groom and made remarks to them. She supposed that they wert words of congratula i on or condolen.e or somethi:ni of that sort, but her ideas of the proper thing to say under the circumstances were a little vague. Finally she whispered to an old friend of the family who was near by: "What shall I say when I go up there?" she faltered. "Oh, just anything to show them that you are glad they are married. Just something complimentary. you know." In a few minutes the little miss had made her way to where the happy cou ple were receiving the congratulations. There was quite a crowd around, but she didn't mind them one bit. She marched straight up to the bride and. extending her hand, said: "I wish you many happy returns of the day." The remark convulsed every one in hearing, but the little miss left the church with the consciousness that she had observed the proprietles.-Cincin nati Enquirer. How the Carving Was Done. "When& I was a young man," said a San Francisco artist, "a friend of mine who returned from China brought home a lot of pearl shells beautifully etched or engraved with figures and Slandscapes on the inside of the shells. I did not marvel so much at the en graving as I did at the cheapness of the shells. I couldn't help thinking that some of the engravings must have taken a day or two to make, and yet they sold for little or nothing, my friend said. "On my request he made an investi gation of the subject and discovered that the Chinese had used the follow ing plan: Instead of graving the pic ture into the hard shell, an operation that would have been laborious and slow, the Chinese drew the sketch on a little scrap of tea lead and inserted it into the pearl oyster shell when it was tender. The inside of the shell in this manner got an impression of the sketch from the tea lead picture, and as soon as it was sufficiently well printed the Chinese would take the lead out and insert it in another shell, and so on. That's how the carved shells came to be so cheap or at least that was the explanation that was made to me by my friend." A Defender of Black Snakes. The reporter was advised not to kill a black snake under any circum stances. An old, honest, reliable man explained this: "Only a few days ago I saw a black racer whizzing around in a circle, his flaming eyes distended. His attention seemed riveted on something not far away. I advanced, and, to my aston ishment, I saw a large rattlesnake coil ed up in battle array. The black snake continued his circuits, getting a little nearer to its victim each time. After 10 or 15 minutes the rattlesnake drop ped his head on the ground. Almost instantaneously the black snake pounc ed upon its victim. After securely fas tening his teeth in the back of the rat tesnake's head he began his deadly coling. Within five minutes that rat tesnake was dead. So don't kill a black snake." The color came in the old gentle man's face as he was relating the above, and he said: "Boys, black snakes are game, but they won't hurt you, for I had one for a pet for years. and because my old woman woke one night and found the snake in bed she r'aised an awful fuss and killed it."-Lebanon (Ky.) Enter prise. _______ __ Boy and Woodchuck. The joy of p)ursuing the woodchuck is a part of the happiness of rural life. The boy is lacking in physical develop ment and in numerous mental and moral qualities growing out of the ex perience wvho has not spent a day pour ing water down a woodchuck hole on the hillside with a view to drowning out the occupant. This is said to re fresh the woodchuck, and, as for the boy, It toughens his muscles as no com pulsory labor could do, and it cultivates patience, hope and persistency. Given a good brook, an ample hole and an in dustrious boy, a full day's work on the outside and a complacent woodchuck on the' inside may be safely guaran teed.-Hartford Courant. A Complication. Mrs. De Kanter-You said you were going to be detained at your office all evening, but you weren't there. Now, where were you? Mr. De Kanter-My dear, there's no sense in your getting excited. It real Mrs. De Kanter--Why don't you an swer my question? Mr. De Kanter-My dear. I would answer your question If I was sure you wouldn't question my answer.-Phila delphia Press. Cracks In the Range. Filling for cracks in a range is made by taking common wood ashes, adding an eighth or more the quantity of salt, mixing the whole to a thick paste with cold water. Fill the crack and usually the filling will remain until the stove is useless. Should it crumble out, "try, try again." Blacking can be applied to it as well as to the stove.-Good House keeping.________ Why She was might. Haydn had a peculiar way of deter mining the time~ in which a piece of music should be sung. On one occa sion a female singer in high esteem at court had been appointred to sing one of Haydn's compositions. At the re hearsal she and the conductor differed as to the time of the music. Th'e mat ter was to be settled by referring it to HIaydln himself. W\hen called en to decide, he asked the conductor if the snger was handsome. "Very" was the reply, "and a spe cial favorite with the prince." "Then she is right," replied Haydn. Nosebleed. To stop bleeding at the nose, cut some blotting paper about an inch square, roll it about the size of a lead pencil and put it up the nostril that is bleeding. The hollow in it will allow the sufferer to breathe. The blood will fill the space between the tube and the nose and will very soon coagulate and cease to flow.. A Contractor.
