This heading means a great deal. for it is no easy task to per feet every department of an establishmer.t 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, and 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 figured on as close a basis as is consistent with in telligent merchaidising. 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, oi 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 position 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 felds, new customers, and keeping fully in touch with the spirit zand progress of the city in which we take such pride.

It stops the cough, heals the lungs and prevents serious results from a cold. . N. Patterson, Nashua, Iowa. writes: "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least half a dozen ad vertised cough medicines and had treat ment from two physicians without get tingany benefit. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and two-thirds of a bottle cured me. I consider it the greatest cough and lung medicine in the world." The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop.

A liver cooked and rubbed up line or put through a sausage mill and then mixed with the feed is good to keep chickens in good health, and will keep them laying the year round.-Abbe ville Medium. It is said that a mind-reader re cently, in Meridian, having dem onstrated to a party of ladies and gentlemen his ability to read a newspaper through two thick nesses of horse blankets, one of the girls left the room with the remark that "she was not going to stay there any longer with just that calico dress on. "-Ab beville Medium Mr. W. H. Folk has on his place a rather strange phenome non which is only a goose. This goose, deceived by the mild wea ther, has proceeded deliberately to lay six eggs, with the full in tention of beginning the year 1906 ahead of all competitors. Now the strange thing about all this is that from the first day of the year no one has ever heard of a goose laying in the winter. We are c-)ustrained to believd this bird is the biggest goose on record.-Newberry Herald and News. Among those who went from Newberry to Oklahoma was Mr. J. B. Setzler, of Ponaria. On the return trip. while the train was stopped at Little Rock, Ar kansas, Mr. Setzler pulled an old gentleman off the track in front of a moving train and saved his life. The old gentleman was wealthy and out of appreciation offered to pay Mr. Setzler. He refused to accept anything, and the old gentleman insisted upon ending him a lunch. This he lid, and after the train started ind Mr. Setzler opened his lunch he found a $20 bill and a $5 bill. The name of the old gentlnman is unknown.8-Newberry Herald ind News. A. W. Kennerley. an industri :us colored farmer of the Fork, Lost two mules under very pecu iar circumstances some short time ago. He says he went with i two mule team to haul some thing from the woods. He hitched his mules on the edge of the Ed isto swamp and went down into the swamp. While he was away ome person or persons slipped ap to the wagon and set fire all iound his mules, burning one of hem to death on the spot, and injuring the other so bad that it will die. Kennerley does not know who did the meanness nor why they did it. It is nothing but an outrage, and if the parties who did it are caught theyfshould be severely punished.-Orange burg Times and Democrat. Walker Swett died in the Smithville s e c t ion yesterday from the effects of a wound on the head with a gun barrel by Duncan Grant Friday. The tes timony at the inquest shows that Swett, Grant and S. H. Laviner were coming from Cheraw in a buggy. On the way Swett and Grant got into a dispute and got out of the buggy to fight. Lay iner persuaded them to make friends and they went on. Grant ried to take the lines, but Lavi aer refused to let him drive. He ursed Laviner for taigsides with Swett and Laviner made him get out of the buggy. Laviner and Swett drove to Laviner's house. Grant afterwards came up and Laviner went out to meet im. Grant greeted him by knocking him down with his gun, breaking it out of the stock. While Laviner was lying uncon scious Grant seized the gun bar rel and turned upon Swett. They hard a scuffle, and Swett in trying to back away stumbled and fell. Grant hit him several times while :own and then got on his horse and rode away. Swett was car ried into the house unconscious and lived till yesterday.-Pee Dee Advocate. The Rext Legislature And Prohibition. ditor The Mannine Times: In the course of a few weeks the Leg slature of South Carolina will convene L its accustomed annual session, and it is surmised by some, that during the ession there will be a. sweeping prohi: ition act passed, and by a stroke of tatesmanship of this kind the people >f South Carolina will be put on notice,| hat in the future they must not touch,; aste or handle john barleycorn or any >f his substitutes, but for any beverage [n the future, they will meet no moles ation whatever in gratifying their orn thirsts with Adam's ale. The next Legislature may be suflici nty deficient in wise statesmanship for all we, on the most at least, to pass n act of wildcat legislation, as an act af prohibition will prove, in the free ivh'ite man's primary election the last Tuesday in August 1906. Not a great while since a correspon ient of the News and Courier, after canning the horison of the next Legis tture, seems to think the Pzrohibi tionists will have the stacking of the cards in their own hands, and among themselves, will be dealt all the trump ards and the game will easily be won. Correspondent .has singled out two members in particular to be right and left bowers in the expected coming crusade against the Dispensnry, and think the two singled out, will be heavyweight champions in the fight that is expected to come off, and these advantageous additions in behalf of Prohibition will be certain death to the Dispensary. Correspondent's hopes through the right and left bowers. and 'Ns expectation to see so much good accomplished along this line for the cause of Prohibition, carries with it, a good deal of amusement, for one of the members he has singled out goes from Clarendon and he was elected on th dispensary platform in the last priary election held. During the last county canvas, and at all the county campaign meetings in Clarendon, every candidate for legisla tive honors, with hut one exception, stood for th'e dispensary, and the gen tleman singled out to be at. and to take a part in. and to hasten the death of the dispensary, ere long, expressed without any qualification of words ex pressed. He indulged in no ifs and ands, in regard to so called future de velopments for not a single utterance entered his vocabulary against the dis pensary, but instead, expressions in its faver. The next session of the Legislature will be no place for, neither will it be the time for men who was elected on the Idispensary platform, to hedge and, to back water, and to abuse the con fidence reposed in them by a confiding constituency. We believe correspondent has calcu lated mistakenly, for we believe the delegation from Clarendon, to a man, will stand by and support the dispen sary solution, and .we will so continue to believe 'tili we are reliably informed to the contrary. We think the Legislature at its next session will show a marked talent, and will display an unlimited amount of statesmanship, if they will forthwith repeal and regulate to the shades of oblivion the act known as the Brice bill. The Brice bill is a fraud, a political trick, and a thrust at the franchise. of many white men South Carolina, and the action of every Legislator must be closely noted in regard to this Brice bill and every member that votes for its retention. should and will be, re pudiated,at the polls in the future. Let the question of Dispensary or Prohibi tion be settled at the next primary election, and let every white man vote at that election for we are one that be lieve that every white man in South Carolina is a qualified voter and should vote on this question.

This last named booklet is a strong Temperance tract and should be scattered broadcast throughout the land. Of - Danger Signals." Mr. Edward J. Handley. one of the oldest and most respected printers in the Government Printing ;Oflce. Washington, who worked alongside of its author last Winter. says : "I read your - Danger Signals' with much interest. It is a pity that such information as it contains copld not be properly impressed upon the youthful mind. Then manhood would be improved and many of the nervous disorders which now d.,t would disappear.'' The People's Recorder, Orangeburg, S. C., says of it : "We regard it the brightest jewel for youth coming before our notice." Mrs. Electra Mershon Craig. Editor of The Southern Poultry Courier, Waycross, Ga., says of it : "It is indeed an excellent., well written work, and shows much intense thought on the part of the author.- He relates his experience for the benefit of others, who by following his teaching will escape many snares and pitfalls." Professor R. Means Davis of the South Caro lina College say of it: "Its advice to the young is good." Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Corwin. Managers Nerve Force Remedy Co.. Twelfth Ward Bank Build ing, New York City, say of it: "-We thank you for the noble little book you send-it is indeed a wonderful piece of work. and should do a great deal of good." Hon. I. H. Jennings, State Treasurer of South Carolina, next door neighbor of Mr. Calvo and an honored Steward in the Methodist Church, respected and loved by all. says : .Dear Friend: I acknowledge with thanks receipt of your little book Danger Signals. I have read it through, and am now preparud to say that it contains some very wholesome advice to young people, There is much truth and good advice in the little book with which I am in hearty sympathy." Mr. Herman Zadek, Manager Gonzales Book Store. Columbia, S. C., says of it: "I read your book with great pleasure and think It should be read by every young man. The benefits he will derive will be of great help through his young life. He can only be good and converted to bet ter living if he reads and understands your book." Rev .Maurice Bertrand Ingle. an honor gradu ate of Harvard. Pastor of the First Christian Church, Columbia. S. C.. says : " There are many things In your book that are good for the young to know, There is too much false mod esty in the world anyhow." Right Rev. Ellison Capers, Protestant Episco pal Bishop of South Carolina. says: " There is much truth and some good counsel to the young in it." but he depi-ecates its being read by those whom it will benefit. and they would be most unlikly to acquire the information from any other source. Mr. Benn Pitman, the well known phono grapher. says -It contains much useful advice which young people must know and live to be healthy and happy," but he does not want the girls to read it, and yet girls are entitled to the knowledge which only Danger Signals imparts. --Danger Signals " also contains the author's analysis of the Fourth Commandment, showing that it has never been comprehended, even by the Jews, and that it is equally a violation of it to labor at night as on the Sabbath, and that not a living soul is properly observing the com mandment relative to the Sabbath. Of "Am I My Brother's Keeper ?" Mr. Thomas Jefferson LaMotte, a leading South Carolina Prohibitionist, to whom it Is dedicated, says; " It is worthy of the head and heart from which it emanated and of the cause it is meant to pro mote." And Col, J. P. Thomas, Superintendent S. C. Military Academy, one of the most schol arly of men, says: - I have read your boor, with interest." ;W'Agents for these books wanted every where at 40 per cent. commission. Address CHARLES A.
