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.

“The Hca Jlight” Impugnes Our Motive
and then Denies It.
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

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear-
There is only one way to cure Deaf,
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. 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.
We will give One Hundred Da.’ars j
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.
