The LEVI BROTHERS of Sumter, in ord6r to meet the demands of our growinx and expanding business, were forced to seek more commodious quarters. Accordingly we contracted for and leased the old J. T. Solomon store next to the court honse, and after an expenditure of considerable money we have now one of the handsomest and best equipped stores in the city, to which we extend a most cordial invitation to the readers of THE TIMES, and in this connection we desire to express our gratitude to the people for the patronage and the manifestations of confidence reposed in us. The Sumter cotton market is one of the best in the State and we reckon ourselves among the heaviest buyers; this we could not do if we did. not pay full market price, and having the very best facilities for handling cotton we can guarantee prices to those favoring us with their patronage. ny vyvyT ,,,IT T!

The Tillmanite organs, from the News and Courier, the latest convert, down to the tiniest of the toadies have been fussing themselves into a fidgit trying to determine whether the death of President McKinley would result in shearing Senator McLaurin of his influence with the adminis tration at Washington. The gen eral line of argument taken by these newspapers has, of course, been inspired by their petty par tizan spite against McLaurin, rather than by any thought for the welfare of their State. The conclusion unanimously reached with much glee has been that the Junior Senator would not longer sufficiently enjoy the confidence of the administration to secure the appointment of reputable South Carolinians to federal posi tions in this State. Tillman's in fluence in Washington being mi nus nit the greatest achievement of his henchmen according to their pusilanimous attitude would be the destruction of the Mc Laurin influence in the same quarter. Far better say these subservient supporters of Till man's reign that every federal office in South Carolina should be filled with negroes and carpet baggers than that the McLaurin influence should be credited with securing office for a respectable native South Carolinian. To these much agitated agents of the agitator we would suggest that they go way back and sit down. They will find, out in a few days that the assassins bul let has not helped Tillman by depriving McLaurin of any of his influence. The Junior Sen ator was in this city yesterday on his way to attend the Fair view Stock Show, today. He had but just come from a very satis factory visit to President Roose velt, and was as smiling as a basket of chips. In the death of President McKinley he has -lost a highly honored friend, but he has not lost as the Tillmanites have been hoping, any of his power to help the white people of his State. The following ex tract from a Washington dis patch of R. M. Larner published in The News and Courier yester day will give but cold comfort to the foes of the progressive dem ocracy: " President Roosevelt is al leged to be in friendly accord to It Happened in a Drug Store. One day last winter a lady came to my drug stre and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock," says Mr. C. R. Grandir, the popular druggist of Ontario. N. Y. --She was dissappointed and wanted to kncw what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I cauld freely recommend Chamberlairs Coug Remedy and that she could take . bottle of the remedy and after iving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the mone, to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend ir need of a cough medicine and advised Iher to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Reied, . I consider that a very good recoin mendat ion for the remedy." It is for sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. a certain extent with the theor ies of Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, in dealing with Southern policies.. Senator Mc Laurin was among the callers at the White Houge today and it is known that he had a private conversation with the President on that subject." "When Senator McLaurin ar rived at the White House the President was engaged with many congressional and other official callers in the large office adjoining the Cabinet room. The junior Senator from South Carolina waited until after all the casual callers were disposed. of after which he was invited in to the Cabinet room, where, alone with President Roosevelt, the subject of "McLaurinism" in the South is said to have been discussed. At the conclusion of the interview Senator McLaurin declined to make any statement concerning the conversation he had with the President, further than to say that his talk with the President was strictly con fidential, and therefore could not be repeated, either in detail or substance. It is understood, however, that Senator McLau rin has had considerable corre spondence with President Roose velt on this subject prior to the death of President McKinley, and their relations are such that more than two months ago Mr. Roosevelt, then Vice President. invited Senator McLaurin to vis it him at Oyster Bay and talk over the Southern situation. It is claimed that while the rela tionship between P r e s i d e n t Roosevelt and Senator McLau rin may not be as close nor the understanding between the two men as complete as it was be tween President McKinley and the junior Senator from South Carolina, the status of Senator McLaurin with the present ad ministration will not differ ma terially from that which pre vailed while President McKin ley was alive. Some of Senator McLaurin's friends assert with great post tiveness that he has assurances from President Roosevelt that the present administration is Cures Rheumatism or Catarrh in a Day.

An entirely new ship subsidy bill will be presented in the 57th Congress, and great pressure brought to bear for its .passage. The new bill contains many very commendable features lacking in the old. Among some of the es sential points are: The increased employment of Americans on vessels, and the non-employment of coolies or other cheap help. The exclusion of Standard Oil tank steamers, or any others similarly constructed. All ves sels enjoying subsidies are to carry mails free. Subsidized ves sels are also subject to acquisi tion by the United States gov ernment in time of war. The new bill carries the freight theory of subsidy so far as to include sail ing vessels. To build and oper ate a sailing ship the cost is about one-third of that of a steamship of the same tonnage. The bill, therefore, proposes paying sailing ships 33 1-3 per cent, of the amount of subsidy proposed for steamers. The new bill cuts the subsidy period down from 20 to 10 years, and the whole annual payment from nine million to five million dollars. The period during which con tracts can be made under the proposed bill, expires July 1, 1902. N o ship over 20 years old can be eligible for subsidy. There are vessels registered for subsidv under the Hanna-Payne bill tlat are 40 years old and which would be 60 years old at the end of the subsidy period. The proposed bill is better cal culated to increase the number of new modern American ships. "I had long suffered from indiges tion," writes G. A. LeDeis, Cedar City, Mo. "Like others I tried many prepar ations but never found anything that did me good until I took Kodol Dyspep-, sia Cure. One bottle cured me. A friend who suffered similarly I put on the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. He is gaining fast and will soon be able to, work.

In support of this contention a new collector of internal revenue for the State of South Carolina is to be appoint ed within a few (Lays, whose principal sponsor is Senator Mc Laurin. It is auithoritatively stated that Loomis Blalock, a prominent business man of New berry, has been selected to suc ceed th'e late E. A. Webster, who died the same day Presi dent McKinley was shot. Web ster was the Republican boss of South Carolina and was a mem ber of the Republican national committee. Since his death the Republican machine in the State has been striving to have Deputy Collector Merrill appointed to fill the vacancy, but it appears that the influence of Senator Mc Laurin and the commercial inter ests back of Mr. Blalock out weighed that of the regular Re publican organization in the Palmetto State. Senator McLaurin, although extremely reticent on this sub ject and also with regard to his interview with President Roose velt, showed by his cheerful manner, as he was leaving the White House, that his reception had been both cordial and emin ently satisfactory. Senator Mc Laurin leaves Washington to night for his home in South Carolina, where, it is understood he will confer with his political friends and resume his contest for re-election to the Senate.'!

"Down in the South," remark ed a man at one of the clubs, "there exists more of a religious atmosphere than tWere is here in the North. So most of the stor iEs they tell have a sectarian flavor to them. One that I heard while in Charleston was entirely new to me and it appeared to be so in the circle of gentlemen where I heard it.
