Walter Raker has changed the

Mountain wagons from North Caro
lina are in the city every day now.
They are loaded with all manner of
mountain produce for which the
mountaineers are receiving fair prices.
These mountaineers^represent a grand

not given to bragging on it. They
generally report the apple crop short.
Col. II. 1*. Griffith, commander of
the Cherokee regiment of Confederate
Veterans, has been appointed one of
the historians of tho South Carolina
division of veterans by Gen. C. I.
Walker. Gen. Walker could not have
made a wiser selection from the whole
division. Col. Griffith was a gallant
soldier of the Confederacy. He
knows history when he sees it, has
the ability to write it and spurns
pretended history not warranted by
facts. Events which never occured,
like the oft told false story of Grant
refusing to receive Gen. Lee’s sword,
will not be seen in Col. Griffith’s
writing and collections.

Cheapest Store
Everybody knows why we sell goods cheaper than stores that do a credit bus
iness, but there are some reasons why we sell this season cheaper than concerns
that do a cash business. We haven’t got anymore money than other people and
we are not any smarter than they, but sometimes we just happen to hit it lucky.
We did it this season. Everything in our lines has been steadily advancing for more
than six months and we knew that in order to buy goods cheap we wckild have to
buy early. Accordingly our buyer went North August and bought our entire fall
stock at prices that nobody can now touch no matter how much money he may
have or how good a buyer he may be.
No buyer from Gaffney went North until a month after we bought our goods,
and in that time prices had gone out of sight, but they had to pay them or do with
out, and now they are compelled to charge higher prices than we cio to get their
money back. Price our goods and compare them with others and all this will be
proved to you. No amount of wind or loud talk can get around this fact. Facts are
stubborn things. We bought our goods when they were low down and we are giv
ing you tne benefit of it. All we do is to put our small uniform profit on everything
we buy c nd let it go, making a selling price in many cases less than our competitors
paid for heir goods.
This, together with our modern, up-to-date, progressive methods of doing
business is making trade hum in our store. The people soon learn where to buy
their goods and where they can save money. We are daily making good our claim
to be'T'he C'liecipeHt ^tore on ICiirtli this season more than ever before.
All our old friends are coming back accompanied by many more and trade is in
creasing briskly every day. We find that our reputation has extended far and wide
and people from a distance come in to tell us what they have heard about The Fair.
In whatever way we do it, it is done, and the great magnet which draws the
trade and holds it is our low prices and big values, backed up by our unanswerable
guarantee, “Money Back, If You Want It.’’ Do not spend a cent until you have
seen our goods and prices. If you do, you are just giving your money away. We
will give you more for it than any other concern and will make it to YOUR interest to
trade with us.
We have quoted in our advertisements a line of prices that nobody has dared to contest, and they have
brought us an immense trade, which we greatly appreciate. Everybody who comes to our store, whether to
buy Or not, will receive the most polite and courteous attention and made to feel at home. The people who
trade with us support us, and we feel that they deserve great consideration.
