Mr. Editor —I read a few days ago
the txperienee of a party of northern
people who attended a negro preach
ing In Georgia, ard it brought to my
mind most vividly my own experi
enoe when a small boy I attended a
similar meeting.
The meeting was held in the open
air beneath spreading boughs, so
deoee, that everything had a solemn
and lugubrious hnpearance, that was
not calculated to soothe the nerves of
nine-year old boy who had been re
galed along the way by stories of
uhosi s an i hohgohli ts by an old ante-

similar but I can’t adzacly organize
you.” “Why”, said I,“Uncle Nelson,
you surely remember me. Don’t you
remember the time the steers ran
away with us on the top of Fishing
creek hill and dumped* us in the
creek?” “Oh,” said be. “chile,is dat
you? You is ambulated out of my
recolecshun. Is you as salucious as
you used to be?” "Now, Uncle Nel
son” said I, “what do you mean
by salucious? There is no such word
in the dictionary.” “Well”, answered
he,”if de dixionary can't telljyoujwhat
it means, how in de name of de Lord
you spects me to tell vou?”
At this juncture the preacher ar
rived, and mounting the stand he
gave out the grand old hymn :
“When I can read my titles clear,
To mecslons in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear;
And wipe my weeping eyes.”
I thought it was the grandest mu
sic I ever heard, and when they
reached the verse:
“There siiall 1 bury my weary soul,
In seas of Heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll,
Across my peaceful breast.
I thought it sublime. The preach
er was the blackest man that I have
ever seen, positively the only white
visible were two rows of the pearliest
teeth which would make a dentist
weep to see. He announced as his
text: “The Heavens shall melt with
Havering heat,” and for more than an
hour he held his audience spell-bound

all kinds of vice were simply terrific;
but, alas for human frailty ! the Rev
Albino, a few weeks later, was sen

chickens. This was my first lesson
in human depravity, and to me the
shock was great, because he was the

Have you ever heard of
“Insured Clothing?" May
be not, because it is more
^ than most merchants can
put behind their goods.
Every Jsuit of Strauss &

it—not a guarantee—but
an “Insurance Policy ”
for its 'absolute satisfac
tion to you. No one
judges for you. If you
are not pleased, send it
back and get a new suit.
We have some odds and
ends in these Clothes.
The prices we have put
on them are of interest to

Dry Goods Department
At this season of the year we always add
a few specials for early buyers. Have just
had a shipment of Kinbroideries and early
Spring Waist Goods that eclipse our expec
tations of them. Without doubt there are
some of the handsomest goods in this line
that will be shown in Gaffney this season.
Our reputation on Black Dress Goods is
too well established to make it necessary to
tell you how good ours are. Black goods
will dways be worn and when you want
any, GET THE BEST. We always have
that sort and probably have just what you
want.
Just got some Suit Patterns a few days
ago, Spring Styles, that you want to see.
A little early? Yes, but they can’t stay
here long.

Bread is the staff of life, but unless yours
is made of “White Satin” your staff is not
as good as it can and should be. To those
who have used it, this flour needs no intro
duction or words of praise. If you have
not been having bread as white and as light
as a bride’s veil, get a sack of “White
Satin” and be happy.
Here are some trimmings for that bread :
Full Cream Cheese, 15 cents per pound.
Armour’s fresh Pork Sausage, always
12i cents per pound.
Canned Goods—all the best kinds at any
time you want them.
Pressed boneless Pig’s Feet, 10 cents per
pound.
The old reliable “Lion Coffee” for 12i
cents per pound.
Rival Blend—our best, 25 cents.
We also handle all kinds of Countrv Pro-
duce, and you’ll find it here if it can be
had. !To our friends in the country we
wish to say that, we will pay them the
highest market value for the products of
their poultry yards and gardens.
Our buyer has just gone to the Northern markets where he will buy the best line of reputable merchandise we have ever shown the buying public—From time to time we will tell
you what is doing at our place, and we want you to call and see for yourself. We feel that we can make it to our mutual interest. It is your business to want—ours to supply your
wants. Let us show you how well we can do this.
