This heading means a great deal, for it is no easy task to per fect every department of an establishmert like ours, to handle the volume of trade that we have every reason to expect will be ten dered to us this season. September so far has shown a very lib eral increase over the corresponding period of last year. and if "Coming Events Cast Their Shadows Before" THIS PROMISES TO BE OUR BANNER SEASON. It is indeed gratifying to note the unusual increase in the vol ume of our business, a.nd to say that we appreciate the confidence reposed in us, gives but a faint idea of our feelings. We regard the interest of every person that does business with us as ours, and will do everything in our power to protect them. We cannot give away gold dollars for ninety cents, no reason able person expects that, and wherever you find a merchant offer ing staple merchandise at less than cost, his object is to attract you to his store with a view of selling you something the value of which you are not familiar with, and make up his loss on the lead ing article, as well as a comfortable profit on the other items. Nothing of that character will be tolerated in this store; we de spise it. Our business is based upon a legitimate percentage of profit, and that tigured on as close a basis as is consistent with in telligent merchandising. It is true, we sometimes sell goods at and below cost, but that only occurs at the end of a season, or when we have erred in buying something that did not prove to be as good a seller as we expected, or bought too freely of certain lines, then we make our loss as quickly as possible, for experience has taught us that the first loss is always the lightest. Our ambi tion ought to be satisfied for we are said, by those who are in a positi6n to know. to be The Largest Retail Dealers in the State. And while we might be satisfied to remain just in the position we are, that would be practically impossible, we must go backward or forward, and our mercantile pride will not permit of a backward step, and each year will find us in the front rank, seeking new fields, new customers, and keeping fully in touch with the spirit and progress of the city in which we take such pride.

C. Smothered Pig. There is a fish in Hawaiian waters which is known by the native name of humuhumunukunukukuapuaa, which means literally "sewing up tb.e nose." The Hawaiian method of killing a pig to be roasted is to smother it, tot cut its throat, and it Is smothered by sew ing up the pig's mouth and nose. This fish with the long na-me has spines which in ancient times were used as needles to sew up the pig's mouth; hence the name more fully means "the fish that provides the needles for sew ing up the nose of the pig." A Liquid Cold Cure. A Cough Syrup which drives a cold out of the system by acting as a cathar tic on the bowels is offered in Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar.

Tiere is a very striking instance of religious toleration in Heidelberg, an ancient city of Germany. One of the most important buildings of that town is the Church of the Holy Ghost. Trough the middle of this building a partition wall has been run, so that services according to the Roman Cath olic and the Protestant ritual may be held at the same time. In the year 1719 an attempt was made by Charles Philip the Elector to deprive the Prot estants of their half of the church, but the townspeople made so strong a re sistance that he was obliged to desist and even to remove the electoral court from Heidelberg to Mannheim.--LOn don Mail. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Humble Pie. There is a queer twist of language in the phrase "to eat humble pie." The word "humble" is a corrupted form of the original "numble," which Is an in edible part of the carcass of a deer and would make very poor pie. The words "humble pie" have the same original meaning as "to eat crow," a phrase common in political life. There Is an enforced humility in this process, and the change from "numble" to "humble" introduced a thought which harmo nized with the Idea sought to be ex pressed. The last form of the phrase has entirely supplanted the original. How to Avoid Pnumonia. We have never heard of a single in stance of a cold resulting in pneumonia or other lung trouble when Foley's Honey and Tar has been taken. It not only siops the cough but heals and strengthens the lungs. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar and refuse any substi tute offered. Dr. C. J. Bishop, of Air new, Mich., writes: "I have used Fo ley's Honey and Tar in three very se vere cases of pneumonta with good results in every case." The R. B. Lor yea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Bnkiepur's Grain Golah. A. curious instance of the miagn1ifi cence of eastern ideas and admiration for things that are large is the grain "gola," to be seen at Bankipur, In Bengal, India. It was built as a gran ary in 1783, but never used as such. Its walls are of masonry twelve feet in thickness, and it stands ninety feet high, with a circumference of forty three feet at the base, and would con tain about 130,000 tons of grain- Ac cess to the interior is obtained by a stircase on the outside leading to a platform on the top, where there is a stone placed in the center, which can be removed. Now it Is perhaps the finest wflispering gallery in the world. Bilious Attack Quickly Cured. "A few weeks ago I had a bilious at Itack that was so severe I was not able to go to the office for two days. Failing to get relief from my family physician's treatment, I took three of Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, and the next day I felt like a new man." -H. C.

The Shoninhr Timer Miss Sophie Fleming is visiting rela tives in Charleston. We were all grieved to learn of Rev. James McDowell's illiness. Mr, McDow cll was taken suddenly ill last Sunday at Midway Church. H1e was attended by Dr. Hagood Woods. who happened t6 be present. and he was afterwards removed to the home of Mr. W. T. Rose, where every attention was given him. I hope his illness will not prove serious and that he will be spared for many years to come. Jack Hicks had better keep an eye out on somebody fromu Turbeville or he might lose one of these pretty teachers. Mrs. E. has been it Manning lately. and she is pleased with the results of her trip. There is very little news over here, but every one is in the cotton tight to the flnish. I think everybody should contribute towards aiding the officers of the Cot ton Association to carry on the light. The Association has been the means of raising the price of cotton at least $15 the bale, and if every farmer gave one dollar his contribution would be small. Mr. Editor. we voters are going to re member those fellows who when seek ing office have a great love for the farmer, but now that the farmer is mak ing a fight to benefit his material inter ests so that he can take his place with other men the fellow who gets office or wants to get office is not seen or heard from. The voters are going to keep a sharp lookout for such, and when next summer comes along they are going to be tabooed if they haven't given mate rial aid to the Cotton Association. We farmers give up our time, which is mo ney to us, to go to the primary to send men to the Legislature and to give sal aried offices to, and yet, when we ask them to come to our aid in this great struggle we are engaged in. they skulk away and don't give a cent. I notice where you have made an appeal for con tributions, and we are going to watch the columns of THE TIMES to see who it is that has patriotism when there are no elections at hand, and every man who comes before the people for an office next summer who has not given our cause substantial aid we will re member him when he wants aid. B. In Time of Peace. In the first months of the Russia-Ja pan war we had a striking example of the nesessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs in dry weather." The virtue of prepara tion has made history and given to us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be treated much more quickly when treated as soon as it has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds, and it should be kept at hand ready for instant use. For sale by The R. B: Loryea Drug Store. Turbeville Sparks.

A Thousand Dollars Worth of Good. A. H. Thurnes. a well known coal operator of Buffalo, Ohio, writes : " I have been affected with kidney and bladder trouble for years, passing gravel and stones with excrrelating pain. I got no relief frm medicine until I began aking Foley's Kidney Cure, then the result was surprising. A few doses started the brickdust like line stones, and now I have no pain across my kid nes and I feel like a new man. It has done me 81,000 worth of good." The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M.
