C., which we have to make room for after January 1st, 1904. We will have to make room for the two large stocks of Clothing, Hats, Shoes and Dry Goods, and we have not the space to hold the goods Our store is now crowded, but we manage to make out with it, but after January we will be compelled to move the goods over from Greenville here, as we have no other place to go. So on Dec. 10th, 11th and 12th we are going to hold a CLEARING SALE to make room for the further goods that will have to come here. We are satisfied that competitors will laugh at us for holding a Clearing Sale in December, as January is the usual time for it, but we can’t wait—you will then be out of money. We are going to put our whole stock on sale, and $2,500 Worth of Clothing, HaLs, Shoes and Dry Goods from Greenville. S. C. If we wait until January, you may not have enough money to spare to purchase the ^bargains we are going to offer. We know if you are going to buy goods, you are going to buy them this Fall. We hope that the above three days will be the time you will buy them. We will not state any prices until the goods arrive fromj Greenville, so we can mark them up- the next issue will break the news.

At FIt* O’clock Taenday Morningr Superin tendent 8. L.. Catting, of the OafTney Cot ton Mllln, Died at HU Home Near the Mills—Remains Seat North for Hartal. A piece of crape on the door sill of 1011 Cherokee avenue yesterday morning announced to anxious friends that Seymour Louis Cutting had been lulled to his last sleep within the sound of the music of the mill he loved so well. The end came about five o’clock and when the hour of sun rise arrived, the orb of day remained behind a cloud as if in mourning for the dead man. When the spirit of S. L. Cutting took its flight to its eternal home a bright and gleeful light went out. For seven years he has been known in Gaffney—but be was not a resident of the place all that time—and wher ever he went it was a signal of good cheer. A man of happy disposition, pleasant address and affable manner, he carried with him sunshine and happiness and his presence dispelled gloom and despair. He was ever cheerful and happy and the burden of the responsiblity of the superin- tendency of a mammoth enterprise seemed to rest lightly on his shoulders, but with all his lightheartedness he carried that burden aa no other man bad ever been able to carry it before him—for be was known as one of the best cotton mill superintendents in the South. Mr. Cutting reached the half cen tury mile post in life last April. He was born in Southbridge, Mass , and came South fourteen years ago, going to Clifton as a boss weaver under Mr. H. D. Wheat, now president and treasure, of the GaiTney Manufactur ing Company. Mr. Wheat recognized Mr. Cutting’s ability and in June of 1890 be was engaged to take the superintendency of the Gaffney mill. He remained here until 1899 when be went to Birmingham, Ala., and from thence to Selma, Ala., but in April of 1901 he again returned to Gaffney, and has continued with this mill In the latter part of January of the present year, Mr. Cutting contracted what is known in medical parlance as malignant endocarditis, a very rare disease, and one that affects the heart at first and later the other internal viscera. Mr. Cutting was treated by the most eminent physicians at home and abroad. He went North twice in an effort to seek relief, but all to no purpose. The disease gradually grew until at last death claimed the ?ic- tim. Although a northern man, Mr. Cutting dearly loved bis adopted home. The last time he was away he was gone six weeks, one of which be spent in the Massachusetts General Hospital of Boston. During his rb- sence he craved to get back to the Sunny South where balmy breezes blow and the mocking bird sings a lullaby and the whippoorwill and the robin red-breast and all the feathered tribe join in the chorus. When he , reached home bis friends thought they saw a ray of hope for his re covery, but they were doomed to dis- appoiotment. He continued to fight bravely the battle of life. A few months ago he was compelled to take his bed and since then be has almost constantly been confined to the bouse. No man ever out up a strong er fight for life and even until the last he bad some hope of recovery. Mr. Cutting was twice married, the first time in 1871. To his first wife two children were born—a son and a daughter. The former has crossed the gret divide, while the latter— Mrs. Leona Martin—survives and resides at Lowell. Mass. In Septem ber, 1888, be was married to Mrs Emma Bouroughs, a lady who has done much to add to the happiness of his life. The wedding took place at St. Louis, Mo., where Mr. Cutting then resided. Two sisters, Mrs. George Cody and Miss Martha Cutting, survive. Last evening the funeral party started for Southbridge, Mass., where the re mains will be laid to rest beside those of bis father, mother and brother. Mr. Cutting was a Sbriuer and au Elk and bis happy disposition added much to the life and gayety of the meetings be attended He was universally loved and admired by all who knew him, and it was indeed a rare thing to hear anyone say aught of Seymour Louis Cuttiug. May his soul rest in peace. He will be missed by those whom he loved and the sinoerest sympathy of bis many admiring friends will go out to his bereaved loved ones. A short funeral service was held at the residence at 5 p. m. yesterday. The Masons attended in a body and the mills of the Gaffney Manufao turing Company shot down at 4 o’clock in order that tbs operatives might be present at the services and out of respect to the deceased super intendent. Rev. W. R. Potter condncted the funeral service assisted by Rev. A. C. Cree. Later the remains were transfered to the depot. The pall bearers were E. R. Cash, B. T. "orter, L N. Burgess, R. M. Rogers, W. C. Wilson and H. L. Spears. THE DIXIE SELLS IT FOR LESS Men s Boys Mall Boxes for Raral Routes. The R. M.
