I didn't come to Newberry over six years ago to boom business for one or two years just to get myself established. I am here to boom business just as long as the people appreciate My Low Caslh Prices, and as long as I can conscientiously advertise that Mimnaugh sells it for less. Wc have built our reputation, by handling Good. Reliable and Honest Made Shoes, we don't buy bankrupt or job lots, we must know how the shoes are made and what material used, then we stand behind it and guarantee every pair to be just as we recommend them. One of my customers came in last week and said: "I want a pair shoes for my wife, I was passing a store a short time since and Mr.- called me in and said that he wanted to sell me my shoes, that he would sell me shoes cheaper than I could buy them from anybody else. He showed me some very attractive looking shoes, and I bought a pair. They were not worth half I paid for them, I got badly cheated, I have come back to you, for a pair to day. I have always gotten the worth of my money here." That is the way we have built up our immence shoe business, by giving the people the worth .of their money. It matters not how low a price you get elsewhere we can always do better for you.

Event If lH0 Has, tiou Next Denuocratic C.n vention Will Certainly Agals Noninat,e hit Washington, July 13.-"1 believe Bryan's nawe will be the only one before the next Dinocratic national convention," said Judge Bartlett, of Georgia, "and if even any other should ho presented, he will have more than the necessary two thirds voto. Thoro i:. nothing to prevont his nomination except his declination. I think he will take the nomination, even if it does not come by acclana tion, if the opposition comes only from the anti silver States of the East. I boliove, however, that if Mr. Bryan telt assured that any other man could be selected who could unite the party better than he and seuro more votes, he would cheerfully accede to the nomination of that candidate." "Has silver as much strength in Georgia now as in 189?" "It is stronger. The only convor sions have been of gold standard mon to bimotalism." Being asked as to his attitude re garding the Democratic leadership of the next house, Judge Bartlette said that he w\ould vote for Repro sentativo Bailoy if the It (ter would express a willingness to accept the minority candidacy for speakership. "If ho persists in declining to run," said Judge Bartlett, "I do not know whom I will vote for. 1 ain not com mitted to any one else." FOI' UNAT 1 CA PTURE. A LetLr Probably Sived the Anerliem Arnmy at Manila. San Francisco, July 14.-The of1 cors of the 2d Oregon regiment, while very guarded in their state ment-, admit that the condition of the American troops at Manila at the outbreak of hostilities between the United States and the Filipinos, was very critical. Tho capture of a letter sent from in,iido our lines at Manila to an emisery of Agninaldo, is probably all that saved our army fron a ter rible disaster and possible annihila tion. The letter was takon to General Otis, who fcvnd in it a plan or plot to open the gates of Manila, sack the city, murder the guards and ,llow the insurgent army to pour into the American camilp.. and surprise the mnon. The United States troops were under arms all night to meet the expected attemp)t but the enemy had learnedl of ihe capture of the letter and only part of the plot was carried out, which was the burning of a por tion of the city of Manila."
