We can sell you a small, light weight, poorly mounted stove for a little more than nothing, and hardly worth that; or we can sell you a medium grade Stove at a medium price, but when it comes to a good Stove at a fair price you save money, for we guarantee every one of them to cook and bake right or you get your money back. You stand no chance to lose anything. The above illustration represents but one of the styles we handle in several sizes and is guaranteed in every way. If this kind don’t suit you we have others in almost endless va riety and styles, and will take pleasure in showing you through our new Sample Room, for we believe we can suit you both in quality and price. Experience Proves that the Tax Rate is Lowest in New Counties. The argument is put forth that in the event of estnhliehing a new county it will raise taxes. It is proper that our people should study this question. It is proper that they should discuss it among themselves. \Ye would feel like a criminal should we advocate a policy which we knew to be injurious to the greater num ber of our citizens. We believe in that democratic form of goverment that assures to the greatest number the greatest good. If we did not honestly believe that the new county would benefit more of our people than it would injure we would not advocate it one moment. Hut as it is we do not believe it will in any sense whatever injure a single person in the proposed boundry, but on the other band that it will help every one. It will necessarily help some more than others. It would be im possible to inaugurate any new idea without it benefiUing some more than otliers. The establishment of a new county will not injure a single per son unless it be several of the office holders at the different county seals of Spartanburg, Union and York. It would decrease their fees some what. And it might hurt (he circu lation of one of the county seat papers whose editor has not the ability to make it entertaining enough to be subscribed for except for the court house news and ollieia! advertisements. Hut it would hurt no one else. It would not raise taxes a single cent. On the other hand we believe they would be lowered. As it is nearly every county uflicerjs paid in fees. The business is gener ally so large that ho is compelled to have an assistant who is also paid out of those fees. Reduce your county and your officers, the persons ilected to transact the business, can atti nd toit personally, thereby| Icing away with assistants. When a man tells you it will increase taxes ask him why it is that Florence county, one of the youngest counties in'lie state, pays less taxes than any other county. These are facts that cannot be disputed. The tax rale of this county islower than any other county in the state. Don’t be gulled by the argument that it will increase taxes. It is not so and the man who says so is either very ignorant of the true slate of tilings or else thinks you are v- ry ignorant yourself. Say for in- .-tau.ce liio fees paid into the auditors offi-e at Spartanburg, Union and York amount in round numbers to $1,(00. Incase a new county was established that $1,000 would be di.idid among four auditors insten l of three. That would not increase your taxes. And that is the case with the treasurer, the sheriff and every oilier county officer except the supervisor and the school commis sioner. Can it possible hurt you to compel these fees to be divided among four instead of throe officers? We can’t see where it will. No, it cannot possibly increase your taxes to establish a new county. In this mutter don’t he carried away with thf idea that in voting for a new county you do so to help other peo ple alone. It will help you as well as anyone else. Resides, we were created to help one another, and have divine command to do it. THE STATE FAIR. Reduced Rates Will be Granted by the Southern. The approaching State Fair bids fair to he a successful one, and in quiries for stock accommodations come daily to the officials, indicating a deep interestst in having a splendid exhibition in all departments. In the absence of an appropriation by the legislature since 1890, except the $2,400 for 1890, the management has been forced to lessen the amount of premiums prior to 1892. amount ing before that time to $d<X>0 which went directly into the pockets of farmers. By a united effort upon the part of the press and to friends of progress generally it is confidently believed the fair of 1890 will be equal, if not surpassing all others in the past. Relying on the patriotism and public spirit of which South Caro linians are noted, success is assured. The rates of passage for the fair as announced by the several roads will receive the immediate atttention of the officials of the society to the end that the rates of 2c a mile for the round trip may be secured. All persons wishing a premium list will apply to either of the under signed. Respectfully, L. D. Chilus, President. Thoh. w.
