The Dixie Dry Goods, Clothing Store, CrA-I^F^KY, S3, e Dear Str: We would like to inquire, if you will permit us to do so, it you have yet fully determined where you will buy your fall and winter Clothing. If you have not, then we wish to say to you that October the 29th, 30th and 31st we are going to hold A DETERMINATION SALE. What we mean by a determination sale, is that we are determined to close out $5,000 worth of Clothing. Hats, Shoes, Dry Goods and Millinery. Why we hold it at this time of the |year is because you need the goods now and we need the money. If we wait until January, as usual, we would also need the money, but you wouldn’t want the goods, so it stands to reason that now is the best time to reduce the stock, while your needs are great enough to move it. The great advantage you have when you buy at this sale is that your d< lar will stretch like rubber. You take no risk whatever, for if the goo iS are not perfectly satisfactory in every way, you can have your monej back if you want it. If you are ready then to p irehase your goods for the Coming season, we know you will like our w iv of holding this sale, for we will have but one low price to all, ai d every man’s dollar is as good as his neighbor’s. We trust that this advei .isement will influence you to attend this sale. We will have ample sales force to take care of the crowds that will crowd the store. So don’t forget the dates, October 29th, 30th and 31st. Three days only. \ ours truly, The Dixie Dry Goods, Clothing and Shoe Store. The Dixie Sells it for Less. Morris Switzer Proprietor. GUNS!

When The Ledger report*of the court proceedings closed Monday afternoon Buren and Gray Davis, two young white men of the Maud sec tion, were being tried for assault and battery with intent to kill. This trial was conducted Tuesday forenoon when both of them were found guilty and sentenced to the county chain- gang for twelve months The next case taken un was that of the State against K. A. Upton, a white man of the White Plains sec tion, for murder. The State was re presented by Solicitor Henry and J. 0 Jefferies, and the defendant by Butler <fe Osborne. This case occupied the at tention of the court the balance of the day Tuesday and most of the forenoon Wednesday, when it was given to the jury, which alter a short stay in the jury|room returned to the court room with a verdict of “not guilty” where upon the prisoner, Upton, was re- |leased. The next and last case on the ! criminal docket, was the State j against Will Surratt, colored, of ' Earls, N. C., who killed Rich Hale, 1 at Blacksburg, for murder. The i State was represented by Solicitor Henry and the defendant, by appoint ment of the court, by Mr G. VV. | Speer and Mr. J. Emile Harley. Ihere were only a few witnesses in this case,and il did not consume a long time to get it before the jury, which after ashort deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty oi manslaughter,and the judge sentenced him to five years on the county chaiugang, or the same term in the penitentiary. The jurors were then dismisse 1 and the court heard some appeal cases until it adjourned. The court convined at the regular hour yesterday and the day was con sumed in hearing appeal and equity cases. The following is the presentment of the grand jury: To the Honorable Court of Cherokee county, we, the grand jury at the October term of court, desire to make the following presentment, to wit: We return thanks to His Honor, Judge D. A. Townsend, for the cour teous manner in which he has charg ed us on the various parts of our duty. Alsolwe return thanksjto the Solici tor, J, K. Henry, for hij uniform courtesy and attention and advice, and to all the officers of the court for kindness extended to us. We have passed upon all bills handed us by the solicitore to the best of our ability and judgment. W T e have examined the jail and found the prison in a cleanly condi tion and the needs of its inmates well attended to. Also we find all the offices and grounds in and around the court bouse in fine conditions and give praise to the faithful and efficient Janitor, Jake Corry. We sent a committee to investigate the home of the poor of the county and find the premises in good condi tion and the inmates say they have no cause for complaint. We, the grand jury of Cherokee county, in view of conflicting reports as to the cost and class of work done on the public roads of the county, sent a committee of nine members of the body to investigate, and from the limited time at our disposal and from the best information we can get from a personal investigation, and from the supervisor’s books, taking into consideration the amount of road completed and the time and money expended in so doing, find that to the best of our judgment, so far it has been a costly experiment. And that if tlfis matter comes with in our province as grand jurymen, we recommend that some latitude should be allowed for inexperience, as this is the beginning of road im provement in Cherokee county; and we further recommend that a com mittee of experienced road builders be appointed to confer with our com missioners and devise some means to decrease the cost,- and increase the quality and quantity of work on the public highways. We further re port, after investigation, that we find the camp and conditions among the inmates cf the ebaingang in a fairly good condition, and recommed new and better tents for the coming wint er be provided. Complaint has been made to us that J. F. and B. O. Jenkins are sell ing whiskey near Antioch church, or within less than two miles of said church. It being an incorporated church, we request that said distill ery be removed or abolished. It has also been reported to us that Zack Phillips and Jane McKeloy, are living in adultery in this, Cherokee county. Very respectfully submitted, W. H. Richardson, Foreman. Dr. B. B. Steetlly Goes to New York. Dr. B. B. Steedly will leave Sunday ' night for New York where he goes to take a twelve months course in one of the prominent hospitals* During bis absence Dr. Burnham will occupy his offices in the Star Theatre build- j ing. Dr. Stecdly has been very suc cessful during his saty in Gaffney and the fact that he goes to spend another 1 twelve months in New York shows that he is deeply in earnest in bis ef forts to perfect himself irf bis pro fession. At the end of bis stay in New York he will return South. A A GOOD HAT FOR BETTER ONE FOR $1.00 $2.00 What is Evidence ? Evidence is the Means by Which a Fact, is Proven or an Issue Determined.
