8 THE WEEKLY LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 17, 1895 Cheaper Than Stealing Them! 'Hie Company Store contin ues to be the Grand Central Attraction of Buyers, Sight- Seers and Visitors. The one great advertisement which has given such a wide spread reputation as a bargain house, is the buyers themselves showing their purchases to their friends and neighbors. No pat ent on this. It is simply giving them more than they expect or can get elsewhere for the money. Unlike other business houses where customers are always asking: “Can’t you do better?” “Can’t you take less?” They express surprise at our bargains and say, “I don’t see how you can sell so cheap,” until it has become a chestnut to us. We Have Confidence in Your Intelligence as Buyers. When the eagle eye of the mod ern shopper flashes over a stock of goods, they dissect with in tellect the merit before them. Can’t fool them as of yore. It is upon this basis we do business and not upon transparent val ues. Do not let habit or persua sion -lead you elsewhere to trade before you see what you can do at the Company Store. The de sire to trade with us by the mill operatives, the town people and the country people has become epidemic, and the crowning event of each week is our Satur day sales. From morning till late at night our store is packed and jammed with a mass of buyers elbowing their way as if in search of some hidden treas ure. On last Saturday we were un able to wait on many who came, and even after closing at the hour of eleven, the mania for cheap goods was still rampant, and some friends entered through a window and helped themselves. Some say it was stealing but they proba bly could see such little difference in our prices and getting the goods for nothing, they did not so regard it. JL^et ’or I*oll!!! IV. C.

We have been slow to take issue j with the Piedmont Headlight, but i after all we cannot sit idly bv and see i it torture a plain statement of facts for its own agrandizemcnt. Here arc a few of the statements in its issue of last week and we propose to treat them scriatum: “The Headlight has never assumed to control the voters of Spartanburg county; but we shall ever advise them as to what we believe is best for their interest, independent of whose ambi tious corns we may mash." We take it for granted that the in telligent farmers of this section know enough to form their nvn opinion on any subject without interference or advice from any source, and espec ially when they have “facts" before them. “Let every reformer paste this pre diction in his hat—When you consent to create numerous small counties in '*outh Carolina you simply crush the farmer's movement, and will be ruled >y it court house influence. Smaller counties mean more court houses, and more political centres from which to manipulate politics. SoutIt Carolina is the only state in the Lmion where the farmers absolutely rule, and for the simple reason that t he country in fluence predominates over the town influence. We will add for the bene fit of the Gaffney LKDGKR, that we mean nothing personal by this argu ment." Will the Headlight kindly explain vhy it is that the conservative towns >f Spartanburg. Greenville, Union, etc. do not domineer over the Till- manite counties in which they are located? And will it explain why the Headlight out in its fight to secure tin *m a pension. They are asking for bread and Thk Lkdgkk is trying to ram a whole couuty down their throats. They can’t subsist on soil, nor brick and mortar." The third paragraph clipped from the Headlight is a production of one “article, sentence and word from the Headlight that can possibly be tort ued into an attack upon the advocates of smaller counties,” although not a “personal” one, for Editor Gantt knows too much to make a personal attack on any one. We are in favor of pensioning all the old soldiers and most assuredly those who arc in need. In conclusion we wish to say that we believe the people have made up their minds on this subject and that all this harangue will not change a single opinion but only serve to make people disgusted with both the Head light and Thk Ledger, and believing that we have a just cause and a ma jority with us we do not propose to weaken our cause by needless tion. ugita- utmost good feeling prevails ai farmers of domineers this over i he town people and section if this town the country people? “We have talked with a number of representatives farmers in that sec tion of our country proposed to be cut off for the benefit of Gaffney, and with two exceptions find them bit terly opposed to dismembering the Old Iron District. When a vote is taken, you will find this statement to be true. Smaller counties mean more officers fort lie farmers to sup port and higher taxes for them to pay. No one can deny this proposition. And yet those tax payers will not he benefit ted one dollar. The profits will all he reaped by a few property- owners living at the new county-site. We suppose that our neighbor the Gaffney Ledger will try and torture this plain statement into a “personal attack" upon the advocates of smaller counties?" If the clause of this statement which says that “the profit will he reaped by a few property owners liv ing at the new county seat" does not impune the motives of the promoters we do not understand the English language, and Editor Gantt knows this statement to be erroneous and misleading. The assertion that smaller counties mean more taxes is ridiculous. Don’t we pay taxes at Spartanburg and would not the same taxes the people pay at Spartanburg. I'nion and York pay the expenses of a local govern ment. Anyone can sec that the statement is misleading “The Gaffney Lkdgkk says: The Headlight will yet learn that the peo ple of this state will sow and reap and gather without its permission. We are not tr,\ ing to'interfere with our reformers reaping the right kind of harvests, but do most strenuously object to those Gaffney conservatives sowing a crop of white-caps, and reap ing good Tillmanite taxes from the farmers, for their own selfish inter ests. We admire the grit and push of Gaffney: hut if a new county is to he created, why not locate the court house in the geographical centre, so that the country people can reap some of the profit as well as pay the taxes? It seems that Gaffney wants tlie farmers to do their so.viug while she garners In the harvest," We are willing to h ave the subject ; to a vote of the people in the proposed j new county and a majority can name i the site for theoourt-hou.se. The us- | sumtion that Gaffney wants the farm- | ers to do their sowing while site | garners the harvest is absurd and impugnes our motives. Gaff- j ney is prospering and wants those ; around her to prosper, and as Gaffney | prospers those around her will pros- j per despite any statement to the con- | trary. a “Thk Gaffney Ledger misrepre- I sents The Headlight when it accuses I this paper of assailing the men who are advocating new counties. We j have never penned a line that can be | tortured into sqch reasoning. We i have simply given our arguments in j favop of large counties. Ami Tip: j Ledger would he better employed in ; answering them than in building up i a man of straw to demolish. U’e do ! not blame the good people of Gaffney for wanting it to become a county site, nor have we impugned their mo tives. But we do say, if new coun ties are to he established for the con venience of the uountry people, why not locate the court-house In the geographical centre? But if such a proposition was made, you would see Gaffney quickly drop the subject.” What else do you call It hut assail ing the men who advocate new coun ties when you say “only those who own town lots will be beneHtted? “Will our neighbor of The Gaffney Ledger please reproduce some article, sentence or eyen u word from The Headlight that can poHsihJy be tor tured into any personal ittuck upon the advocates of smaller counties? The Ledger even tried to come the old soldier racket on us. That paper would better prove its regard for lliuaw old veterans bjr helping The A banathy-Ramsey.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it isentiely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal i condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing hut an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
