The Democrats h**e swspt the country; auch a tidal ware has rarely been seen in the United States. Cleveland is elected by sn over whelming majority; he carries the solid South, California, C??anecti . cut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana. - New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Wis consin, >minj? and six rotes in Michigan, wliich jzivc* him a total or 303 votes in the electoral college, and a majorH* | of 80 over both Harrison and Weaker. In some of the states the Tt.Ve is very cl?se and it will require tho official count to determine the result, but if Cleve land should not have carried one or two of ths above mentioned state*, he will still hare enough vo'.es to insure his election by a large majority. Weaver baa carried Colorado, . Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, and South Dadota ? 24 votes: while Harrison carries all the other states Uft and will have only 117 votes in the elec toral college. South Carolina has performed her duty nobly;;' Cleveland carries the State by over 30,000 majority acid the democratic congressional delegation is elecited, with possibly swery clo.-e shave in the seventh, or black district. The third parly cut a very sorry figurt . polling less than 3,500 votes in the entire State. Ia the n^rt Congress the House will lie democratic by a large ma jority, probably oyer 100, and the Senate, it is estimated, will stand 40 Republicans, 43 Democrats and Populists. Thethir<J party Sena tors will, in all probabilty, vote with j the Democrats on all economic measures and thus a reductioa of the iniquitous tariff tax is assured. It was a grand and glorious vic tor} ; a magnificent triumph uf the g'eat people* showing a deteimina : lion to he relipred of tks ?dious and grinding tariff tax and no* to submit to pernicioas Federal inter ference with elections. To us, of . the South, it is especially tiear, in snring home rule and a new era of enterprise and* prosperity. Now since Cleveland is elected, one of the most pertiaent Federal o,UMtions that interest* us here at home is : Who will get the Camden poatotfiee? There will doubtless be a sufficient number who would be willing to take it. The farmers of South Carolina, by a majority of 30,G?0, have vindicated them- j selves of ih? fou! and slanderous chary? that they would have to ho blindfolded' and backed up to the polls in ord??r to l>e made to vote for Cleveland.

Our Next President, Grover Cleveland, * 4 V SAYS: ''Let us tell the people what we intend doing and let us do it." This is upright, hon est and square dealing with the nublic. This has been our motto and it was honest ' dealing with our people for forty years tnat gave us success and made our establishment [the mam moth one in the country and pride of the up country, for we have no peer. We tell you al ways the naked truth and those who follow reap the benefit. Why is it that season after eea ;son we pack our seven floors jam up to the ceiling? It is because we require them for the [enormous business we are doing. And what other store in the up country gives) employment 'to eleven clerks the whole year around ?? none, because they have not the business for them, A little plain talk often makes the hit. Why is iL that we buy so largely and sell so many goods at such low prices? Because we buy for ca?h; that is conceded by every fair-minded business man in the country, and we give our customers the benefit of the advantage we en joy. Our experience does n<->t date back from yesterday; it is a life-ion** business study. A business experience of nearly forty years right here in the city of Caindieu among you, that has taught us to buy close, sell close and be honest with our customers, and the outcome of it i [all speaks for itself. Our motto has been: ''Live aud let live," no discrimination. We do not fear home competition and care not. We have always made it our study how to under sell other markets and how to meet the prices of other commercial cities. In this we have been successful. If you wish to get a fair return for your money, come to the MAMMOTH STORE OF BAUM BROS., and you will tin d a mammoth establishment, such as has never been in Can.den. We are now ready to show you a full line in every department. You all know it is impossible to name everything we keep in our big store. STRUCK, BY LIGHTNING!

I i \ BAUM CLWaiHD IS ELECTED! ^ow fipce tho mighty American peoplo have tpoken at the polls and it ho* beeu definitely determined that GROVER CLEVELAND whI be our next President of these United Statets, the next ques tion of most importance to tho people of Kershaw ana surrounding counties, is where, during these hard times, can t e best goods be bought for the Jeast money? That question tieieneed he no doubt about, Vfe will let the crowd, hurrying >) the many other GOOD STORES, refusing their polite and urgent requests to come in, to reach our Krn])orium and GENUINE HA KG A IN HOUSE, answer this question. We need not mention tho name, every body knows it. Put that question to Kershaw, Lancaster, Fair field, Chesterfield, Sumter and Richland counties and you will hear the answer come in a mighty chorus. FAMOUS^ \ \ The reasons are simple why we should lead. We have had an experience of 22 years as clerk and proprietor and & resi dence of over35 years here with close study ol the needs of our cus tomers, and an unbroken detemination to supply those needs, are sufficient reasons to EVEN THOSE WHO MAY BE ENVIOUS OF OUR SUCCESS.
