In fact it is one of the handsomest in the state. With idditional improvements as suggested it will far surpass the majority of the ;ourt houses of the State.” The only case tried yesterday was lim Jeter, who was tried forth^mur- ler of Santa Anna Tate. This case jeeupied the attention of the court intil 5:40 yesterday afternoon, and fat the close of Solicitor Henry’s ar gument Judge Gage adjourned the [court until 9 o’clock this morning, [when he charged the jury. The jury [was deliberating the case as we went [to press. The grand jury Inught in a num- |ber of true bills during the course of [the day.

Published la Gaffney Ledger Juno fth, HUi »M aw, m JTo Hie of Olierolcee County: Wo witnessed the exhibition of the Deering and McCormick Binders in the field of Cieo. W. Humphries On Tuesday, June 11, 1901. We are heartily in favor of the Deering Binder for the following reasons: 1st. The Deering is much lighter draft. This point was conceded by the McCormick people. * * 2d. Believing that simplicity makes durability, we consider the Deering the most durable machine. 3d. The levers of the Deering being convenient to the right hand we should consider it much more convenient to operate, as the levers on the McCormick have to be operated with the left hand. 4th. As the Deering cuts on the loft of the driver the reel is also on the left, thereby enabling the driver to use whip with right hand, while the McCormick reel runs on the right side, forcing the driver to use whip with left hand. 5th. We, too, see that it takes two levers to operate the reel on the McCormick while the reel on the Deering is operated^ with one lever. Gth. We see that the twine can on the McCormick Binder is placed directly behind the main wheel where it will catch the twine full of sand and grit, while twine can on the Deering sets in front of the elevator in full view of the driver and free from the dust and grit of the machine. 7th. We find the Deering knife is driven by a counterbalanced wheel; while that of the McCormick is driven by an ordi nary crank. j 8th. We, too, see there are fewer sprocket wheels and less chain on the Deering. 9th. Wo attribute the light draft of the Deering raainly’to the fact it has bicycle bearings. As regards the work done by the Deering we never saw better work done by a binder. L. WATERS, R.J. MORRIS, JAMES REYNOLDS, L. A. TURNER, W. L. YOUNG, R. M. JOLLY, The McCormick people have out a circular stating they won a victory over the Deering Binder in a field contest on the farm of Mr. G. W. Humphries on Tuesday, June 11, 1901. Now there was no Field Contest on that day as there were no judges appointed to decide the matter, the McCormick people refusing to leave the matter to judges. But from the above certificate you will see what some of the disinterested farmers say who witnessed the exhibition of the two binders. And remember wo have not allowed our local agents to sign this certificate purporting to be farmers. We leave such tricks as that to the McCormick people. We sold our machine for more money on the grounds that day than did the McCormick. The McCormick people had four repre sentatives on the ground, while we had only one—Mr. S. P. Davis, of Atlanta, who, by the way, says tiie statement of A. J, Huff in regard to our offering their customers machines at $90.00 is false and without foundation. Yours truly, R. S- FITZPATRICK, Traveling Agent Deering Harvester Co. C. G. GARNER, A. H. DANIEL. OFFICE OF YORKVILLE BUGGY COMPANY, M. C. Willis, Proprietor. Yorkville, S. C., June 10, 1901. T0 THE PUBLIC : It has never been our policy to sell goods by vilifying others; but to sell strictly on merit. The action of the McCor mick Harvesting Company, in attacking directly the Deering Harvesting Company, whom we represent in this territory, makes it necessary for us to give some facts, which we give, not with the view of hurting our friends, the local agents of the McCor mick Harvesting Company, but in self-defense against the at tacks of their company. The papers containing these attacks were sent by us to the Deering headquarters for he Southern ter ritory at Atlanta, Ga., with the suggestion that they reply to same. The Deering people refused to reply, saying that it did not pay to do so; that they sold the goods, and that the trade was satisfied with them, and that was what all business people should be after. However, we deem it best to reply ourselves: Everybody knows that it is our policy to sell the best goods. So when we decided to go into the machine business we wrote to the brother of the writer, who is a large grain grower in Virginia, asking his advice. He advised us to handle the Deer ing. Upon further investigation, we decided that the Deering was the Ijest; hence we contracted with them several years ago. The writer went personally into the fight last season to sell machines, and came out victorious over all competitors, and became convinced by personal observations, that the Deering was the best machine. Mr. Huff, (I think that’s the name), repre senting the McCormick company, came to see us last fall and tried to get us to drop the Deering and accept the McCormick agency ; said he would give us a lever by which we could prize out all competition. He was so certain that he could do this, that we asked him what it was. He said that lie would give us his “modern” machine, that we were to sell at $126 on regular terms; that he would give us machines built on their patterns of three or four years ago, that we could sell on a push for $80.00, we think; but we are sum it was not higher than $85.00. Of course, we refused this offer, as we wished to sell only the best goods. We want to be distinctly understood. We do not mean to say that our competitors are selling this old style, low-priced machine, for w r e have not seen their machines, and don’t know. We are simply giving you the facts and allowing you to draw your own conclusions. Wc will say, in conclusion, that we did not decide to go into print in this matter until Saturday night, and as all matter must be in the hands of the printer by this evening, we have not been able to get all the endorsements we could get if we had a little more time. However, we think that w r e have quite enough to show you that the Deering Harvesting Machinery is giving some of your neighbors all the satisfaction that they can possibly ask for. .Wo propose to stand by every guarantee we have given, and treat our customers in a perfectly fair and courteous man ner. We take this method of publicly thanking them for their liberal patronage, We are expecting more Binders on every train, and would be glad to sell a few more. We have only one on hand. Respectfully, YORKVILLE BUGGY COMPANY, M. C. Willis, Proprietor. "Our Compiiitort Admitted Tkit W» HU I U|lrtir Drift SatklM.” Gaffney, S. C., June 12th, 1901. Mr. Willis, of Yorkville Buggy Company, YorkviUe, S. C.: Dear Sir: I started the Deering Binder yesterday in the field with the McCormick machine ou Mr. Welding Humphries’ place, and it w r as conceded by those who witnessed the contest that the Deering was the lighter draft of the two machines, and our competitors admitted themselves that we had a lighter draft machine. I was the only representative of the Deering, while the McCormick people had four. I understand from reliable sources, and it can be proven if necessary, that whiskey was used,, and I don’t know what other inducements were brought to bear.. Being a business man and doing business on business prin ciples, and do not do a cutthroat business, I had the sale won for the Deering after all,until the last round the McCormick men,see ing they were defeated,struggled desperately and sold their Binder for less than $90.00 I actually believe they would have given this Binder tot he farmer before they would have been defeated. This thing was tested this summer at Albany, Ga. The Deering had no trouble whatever. The McCormick men, one of whom, Mr. Medlock, admit ted to me, he would get even today for what has been done to them at Yorkville. I sold this Binder in the field today, to a man who wU-'* nessed the contest, for more money than the McCormick. Don’t- be uneasy, as we have a Binder which has been tested for years.. Speaking from experience, I have followed this Binder fromt Charleston, S. C., to Grand Forks, North Dakota, for four years, in succession, and it has proved a winner all along the line for light draft, durability and simplicity. Any man who wants to know who I am, can refer to the Third National Bank, of Atlanta, Ga., and Bank of Belle Buckle, Tennessee. Don’t be afraid. * Stick your Binders in. f‘ Yours truly, P. DAVIS. -o- "Tius Smootk, Tigkt Bundles and the Draft is Very Light," $ Gaffney, S. C., June 12th, 1901. To All Whom it May Concern : We have this day witnessed the working of the Deering Binder, bought by Mr. W. S. Hill, and do testify that this ma chine does perfect work, ties smooth, tight bundles, and the draft is very light. Wo see the machine is easily operated, as the levers are convenient to the right hand. Yours truly, L. A. TURNER. W. L. YOUNG, 4 S. A. STACY, J. W. WATERS. ^ -o- "I Days an Oidni for One of Your Ideal Binders.” j Gaffney, S. C., June 12th, 1901. Deering Harvester Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Sir : After mature consideration and careful exami nation of the Deering and McCormick Binders, I gave am order for one of your Ideal Binders. After placing my order Mr. Huff, salesman for the McCormick company, came to me and tried hard to dissatisfy me. However, being a man of my word, I took your machine and it has been started in my field today and I am well pleased with it. It’s work is as near perfect as could l>e expected of a piece of machinery. I find your representative to he fair, square and truthful.. That is more than I can say for the McCormick people, as theyr^ told me things about your Binder I find not so. Yours truly, W. S. HILL.* "Iks Draft Was so Huavy and Mads ike Work so Unsatisfatfwy to Mr. Fifty, Hi Told Ikon to Get Out of Field,” Gaffney, S. C., June 12th, 1901. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that on Tuesday, June 8th, I saw the>, working of a McCormick Binder in the field of Mr. T. C. Petty;. The McCormick Binder was bought by Lewis Hollis, colored, and! was operated by one of McCormick’s experts, working throe) mules, and the draft was so hfeavy and made the work so unsatis factory to Mr. Petty, he told them to get out of the field. ^ L.
