QUALITY
OF THE
HIGHEST
Always Represents Economy.
A large quantity of anything of no value is dear at any price. A fair
price for value given is all that we ask. We carry some goods that
are less value than other goods, hut we mean to give you loo cents
value for every dollar you spend with us. If we fail to do that report
to us and we will try to satisfy you.
Your Business We Want
on sound business principles. The man who can offer you some
thing for nothing is dead. We. are going to try and give you
that have got more real solid serviceable wear in them than our
neighbor merchants give. We are well equipped for supplying your
needs for this line. Some may say they give you just as good as
W. J. WILKINS & CO. In justice to yourself do not listen to that
talk, but come straight to us, where you are protected from high
prices and shoddy goods. Our buying facilities are equal to any in
the place and superior to many.

SHIPPING TIN ORE.
The Klrnt In the United StHtMft shipped from
Gaffney.
Tuesday morning a L-tdger repre
sentative chanced to meet Cupt. 8.
3 Ross, now of tin ore fame, and in
answer to an inquiry as to when he
would begin the shipment of tin ore
from his mine. Capt Ross said: ‘ If
jou hate time come with me and I
will show you something.’' The
Lodger man accompanied ('apt. Ross
to the frame building adjoining the
Cherokee Foundry and Machine
Works, where several laborers were
engaged in sacking a peculiar looking
black sand. “There,” said the Cap
tain, “we are making preparations to
ship the first lot of tin ore ever
shipped in the United States from a
mine discovered in this country. We
will begin loading Wednesday, and
Friday the first car 1 >ad of tin ore
will leave Gaffney for New York,
where it will be placed on board a
steamship for Europe. It has become
necessary to ship it to Europe be
cause of the failure to establish a tin
ore smelter at Bayonne, N. J.. as
has been contemplated. The output
of this mine at present would not
justify the establishment o* a smelter
and as there are no other mines in
this country to supplement the sup-
oly, it would be unwise to attempt
the establishment of a tin ore smelter
just now. My first shipment will
amount to from 40000 to oO.OOO
pounds.”
Capt. Ross will go to New York to
deliver to the European agents the
tin ore from his mine. During his
absence be will purchase suitable
machinery, which will be installed as
rapidly as possible, and then the
work of getting out the ore will begin
in earnest. In the crude fashion
heretofore adopted Capt. Ross, with
a force cf eight to ten laborers, has
hi*en enabled to get out this ship
ment in three months. With Im
proved machinery he will be able to
greatly increase the output of the
mine.
When asked at to the probable
quantity of the ore at the mines.
Capt. Ross said: “There is no tell
ing how much ore we have. Certain
it is that there is enough in sight to
warrant the installation of improved
machinery.”
Capt. Ross is a very cautious gen
tleman, rather reticent when talking
about his tin mine, and at no time
boastful. It is therefore safe to say
that “there are millions In It.”
At the building where the ore was
being sacked a crew of laborers were
busy putting the ore into the canvass
sacks. One hundred pounds was
placed in a sack and then the sack
was sewed securely. Already over
two hundred sacks had been sewed
and there were tons upon tons of the
cassiterite piled up in the centra of
the floor. This ore is very heavy
and it does not require a great bulk
of it to weigh one hundred pounds
The work was being done under the
supervision of Capt. J. T. Thuckston,
who was keeping a watchful eye on
the work.

E Church South will be devoted spe

A Steady Subscriber.
The following from an exchange
expreeses the sentiments of all coun>
try editors:
“How dear to our heart is the
steady subscriber who pays in ad
vance at the birth of each year, who
lays down his dollar an - ’ lays it down
gladly, and casts around the office i
halo of cheer. He never says ‘stop
it, I can’t nfford it’ nor‘I’m getting-
more papers than I can read,’ but al
ways says ‘send it—the family like
it—in fact, we all think it a house
hold need.' How welcome he is w hen
he steps in the sanctum, how lie
makes our heart throb, how he makes
our fret dance We outwardly thank
him, we inwardly bless him; the
steady subscriber who pays in ad
vance.”
