A Safe Rule by Which to Distinguish the Genuine Ones. A 'great many persons flatter them selves that they are able to tell a gen uine Persian rug from a spurious ma chine made.-one by touch, but in this they deceive themselves. The best and surest way to tell a genuine from an imitation Persian rug is the following: If one will look closely, one will ob serve that in the genuine Persian rug the intricate and ,implicated pattern or design is not altogether symmetric al, the corresponding flowers, vines or geometrical figures of one side being a little out of line, larger or smaller or not meeting and pointing with fig ures on the corresponding detail on the opposite side of the rug. This is owing to the fact that in hand weaving it is impossible to obtain perfect symmetry of patterns, especially when the de signs are as complicated as they are on Persian rugs. On the other hand, let one examine closely the machine made rug, and one will find the most perfect symmetry of pattern, so much so in fact that the design looks posi tively rigid and harsh. This a pretty safe guide, and if observed one will seldom mistake an imitation for a gen uine Persian rug. Cultivating Ginger. Ginger is made a matter of scientific culture in Jamaica. It is propagated by cutting up small pieces of the root, and if possible, rich, cool soil from recent 1y c wood is selected for it It as o 2rouc nerl 32 poun 9 f 20 ew1 ThSae rotae yughusuaolly in amish An Jratay rperosatte Themar seh, eyosed ablte sun utll athor oughly Perieandugckedmin spros of chine ahuded bypoucseach in order toe deci themelapidl they aetirst toudestroay toife, of geine theromt are verytaioesa us.

There is no use closing our eyes to the tendency of the age, capital is organized to concentrate its forces, and unless the farmers organize to resist, the hope of the country is shaken. In this agricultural country of ours the merchant, must be blind indeed who does not see that if the farmer goes down the merchant, as a natural consequence, must go with him, therefore as business men, we the LEVI BROTHERS want it distinctly understood that we propose to sink or swim with the farmers, and in the purchase of our winter stock we have bought so that competition is a secondary con sideration. We have contracts with mills so that we are en abled to pay more for cotton than any house in Sumter, and when the farmers of Clarendon come to Sumter it will be. only necessary for them to leave their samples with us. We are next to the Court House in the old "Jake Solo mons " building and it is Headquarters for Farmers.

We are headquarters for Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Notions, Trimmings, Fancy Goods, Novelties, Shoes, Hate Crockery, Glassware, Groceries, and everything for the plantation or household. We are making big drives in the several branchesofour store and all that we ask is for the people to come and see for themselves.
