We have two large stores in Greenville, S. 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. We don’t want any profit on our goods, we are going
to throw it away, all we want is room, and if GOOD GOODS and FACTORY COST will move them, we will have the room. Don’t miss reading our adver
tisements, you will find them in every issue of THE LEDGER.

PROMINENT COTTON
MILL MAN DEAD
Passes Away After a Pro
longed Illness
SEYMOUR L. CUTTING.
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.

Ssf«Kuar«l Against Accident.
The best safeguard against accident
is to use good judgment in directing
every act. But, accidents will often
occur in spite of every effo r t to pre
vent them. The best safeguard
against injury resulting from acci
dents is Elliott’s Emulsified Oil Lini
ment. It is the most serviceable
accident and Emergency Liniment
ever made and is the most satisfac
tory Liniment for use in the family
and on animals ever offered. Large
