Mr. Jessen, an experienced restauratuer of j Charleston, has moved bis establishment to ! Sumter. He will "fill a long felt want"-! perhaps more than one.

We have received a copy of the Florida j Sunbeam a religious (Methodist) weekly pub- ! li shed at Gainesville, Fla., by John M. Pike, j late Sector of the Methodist Church at this j place, as Chief Editor. Among bis associates [ in the editorial work we notice the name of j Miss Omera Thomas, a young lady well j known here, where she has a number of j friends and relatives. A prominent business maa of Charleston, while on a visit here last week, said he had positive and reliable information that the Three Cs road would be brought to Sumter at once. Heretofore the plans and purposes of thia company have been purely matters of conjecture here. The above is as reliable as it is gratifying. The benefit this road will be to Sumter is incalculable. At an educational meeting held at Tirzah "Church, near Providence on Saturday ad? dresses were delivered by Mr. Jno. T. Green, Col. Jno. J. Dargan and W, II. Ingram, Esq., in the order named. Much interest in thc important topic of discussion was. manifested by tiie large audience that filled the Church. The people ic that township are determined to have few and better schools and to sup? plement the present school fund by a two mills extra tax under tbe omnibus act. Corn crops, as seen from the public road in that section of the country are fine. Cotton has been much damaged by the recent heavy rain and is now rapidly failing. The number of pupils enrolled for the Graded School are out of all proportion to the accommodations provided for them. The Eclectic College building will not comforta? bly seat one half the number. This building bas been. rented only for a term and is the best to be had fer the purpose at this time. It ie necessary to erect a building for the school. This will be done in the near future. Weare very much mistaken in the spirit of our people if they will be satisfied with any? thing leas than such a school buildiog as will Beet all tho requirements of a large first class institution of learning and that will be an ornament and credit to our progressive little city. Let the plans of the building and all ! matters connected with it be freely discussed j through the public press. It is a my..:ter m j which we are all deeply interested. Religious.

The occupants bad a narrow escape from the fall-, tog timber. No insurance. The Kappa Alpha Order. The Fourteenth Convention of Kappa Alpha will be held in Augasta, Ga., Sept. ll, 12 and 13tb, 1889. Tho management of the Convention is in the hands cf thc Alumni Chapter in Augusta and the undergraduate Chapters at Athens, Oxford and Macon and no expense nor pains will be spared in the entertainment of delegates and visitors. The hospitably of the "Fountain City" is prover? bial and all who attend the Convention will be cordially welcomed and hospitably enter? tained. A large number of Kappas are ex? pected to attend and the occasion promises to be one of unusual interest and pleasure. A Street Kow. Last Wednesday evening abouts o'clock a row occurred in front of Z. E. Walker's saloon on "Main street (the participants being all colored persons) which greatly dis? turbed the peace and quiet of the town and caused much trouble and annoyance to the police. The affair had its origin in a difficulty be? tween Mr. A. P. Levy (whose saloon is near Walker's) and John Belser, colored, the latter bcing under the influence of liquor, in which Mr. Levy, who was ordering Belser away from his saloon, was attacked by him, bat none of the parties injured. Both were ar? rested and gave bond for their appearance in the Mayor's Court next morning. Belser, however, did not give bail as once and some of his colored friends were so excited over his arrest as to become turbulent. Policeman Commander found it necessary to arrest ene Tom Sommers, colored, who re? sisted. His brother, Dave Sommers, came to the rescue and said no white man should put his brother in the guardhouse, ne drew a knife and attempted to cut the officer, but only ripped his coat sleeve and was prevented by Walker from doing furtLer injury. The prisoner was taken to the guardhouse and re? leased on bail. About this time the Chief of Police came up and finding the crow*d still boisterous and in? clined to becone unruly, proceeded to clear the sidewe^k in front of Walker's saloon, where the crowd remained in spite of former efforts of the police to disperse it. Belser again becoming disorderly was re-arrested by Chief Weeks ; this seemed to infuriate the mob, which, headed by Dave and Tom Som? mers, assumed a violent attitude towards the police. Two policemen took Belser to thc guard? house, while Chief Weeks, with club in one hand and pistol in the other, continued bis efforts to clear the sidewalk. Tom Sommers made an outbreak and was clubbed by the officer. The crowd increased in numbers and the excitement was at a high pitch. Then Dave Sommers, armed with knife and hatchet, and backed by some of those colored perBoos who were more riotously inclined, gave such .?use for alarm that the Chief of Police rang the fire bell. Io a few moments a number of white persons, besides those already present, and more colored people ran up from every direction. Chief Weeks impressed a number of citizens into service for the purpose of quelling the mob, now inactive, some having fled when the alarm rang. The Mayor and Sheriff were sent for; and the latter, as soon as he arrived, went iuto the midst of the riot? ers, called for a posse of fifty men. true and lawful citizens. Jn the name of the State bc commanded the mob to disperse and the par? ticipants to go to their home3. The order was quickly obeyed and io a few moments the streets were almost cleared. In the mean? time- sonic members of the miliUiry company aud a number of law abiding colored citizens as well a3 white, had offered their services to the Sheriff. After deliberating he accepted the services cf a small squad of militiamen under command of Lieut. Phelps. This had the desired effect upon the riotous element and prevented any further outbreak. The names of the offenders arrested are Zack Walker, John Belser, Tom Sommers, Dave Sommers, Charles Durant, Alfred Bron? son and Moses James, all of whom were brought before Trial Justice Stuckey next morning for a preliminary hearing and were committed or bound over to appear at the next term of the Sessions Court. Letter from Qui Vive. PISGAH, S. C., ?cg. 9, 1889. Mr. Editor : The wet season of last Fall has beeu repeated in this section. For the last two weeks we have had some tremendous falls of water, accompanied with a fine display of electricity. One of my neighbors had a mule killed by lightning and several persons were shocked severely. The lightmr g played some 3trange frcaks in this section. The damage to the crops from so much rain is rather heavy. The bottoms are washed up and drowned ont, while on thc light lands the cotton ?3 badly scalded, and the corn fired up. Notwithstanding the disadvantages of spring drought and rain, the crops look promising, though very late. If this month is seasonable there will be more coito:? made than the spring warranted, but if dry there will not be one-half of a crop made, on account of the lateness of thc cotton. Mr. J. D. Evans has thc best crop I have seen. He is one of the most progressive young farmers, believes in a plenty of manure and good work, and his farm proves that his theory is correct. Messrs. H. II. Evans, James Robinson, S. D. Hurst, Dunlap Haw? kins, Hatfield, White, Shiver, A ?len and McLcods have fine crops I undersiaud. The rest are like the negro said about bis ox, "Boss, he is neither poor nor f?t." I have said this much about the crops cs information, for upon their success lies thc prosperity of our country. Mr- H.H. Evans has bought an engine to gin cotton and saw, and will divide profits with friend Smith at Smithville this fall, j Mr. Smith has bought another gin. So the i farmers won't have to wait long to get their ! cotton ginned. Mr. H. C. McLeod had tho misfortune to j get his house burnt one night last week. Ile j lost al! in the house, and came near petting j burnt up with his wife and bafiy. Wc are J sorry for his loss. Aaron Wilson, a colored boy bad bis leg so j badly cut at Mr. il. C. McLeod's saw mill j thal it had to bc amputated. The operation j was performed by Dr. C. H. Creen assisted by Dr. Jno. E. McLeod. Miss Hallie Evan3 and the Misses Colclough are home on vacation from their school in Charleston, also, Daniel Voungj a student of Patrick's Military Institute. Messrs. E. H. Rhame and Gilbert Flowers of Sumter, have been here visiting relatives and friends. Hearing that "Guv" was on the war path in this section for some time, and wishing to j see him, I found him three miles Southeast of i Camden on yesterday. Judging from what I . saw, he was getting the best of thc fight in which he wa3 engaged without eztra effort on ? his part. I think the water has about whip ped him ont in his travels, but a3 he is look- j ing so well and no doubt doing ditto, I will not at this time further disturb him. Qui VIVE.

PATTERSON SPBIN-GS, N.C., Aug. 10, 1889. Dear Watchman and Southron ; This is my third day here, and wo have had some beautiful weather since leaving Sumter not a drop of rain, and with sunshine and clouds interspersed in thc exact proportion, and accompanied with cool breezes, to make summer life really delightful. For the information of those of oar readers who may not be posted, I will state that Pat? terson Springs ere in Cleveland County, N. C., a half mile from Patterson station on the SC'S R. R., four miles from Shelby, and about 6 or 8 miles from tho line between North and ! South Carolina. The Cleveland White Sui- j phur Springs, also within six miles of this i place. The name Patterson is from the present proprietor, who has owned the place and lived here since 1855. Ile tells me that ho ? bought the place from a former citizen of 1 Sumter, G. M. Harrington. Perhaps some J of our older citizens may remember bim. I { cannot place him in my memory. Mr. Pat- < terson is a native of South Carolina, was born 5 in Spartanburg, and is a brother of Senator j Patterson of Chester. He owns a large tract t of land around here aud plants about 300 i acres of cotton. His crop that I have seen ' 3 about the house looks well. The land is red j and rolling. Though be tells me that the t land South of the creek which runs around ? the premises on the East and South, is a gray c and lighter soil. c The mineral springs, of which there are two or three are situated upon the bank of the. j creek about three or four hundred feet from j the house. The spring that is most used con- ^ tains white sulphur, magnesia and iron, and 9 the watt r is highly recommended for dyspep- t ?ia, and diseases of the liver, kidneys and J: bladder. Mr. Patterson tells of some wonder- v ful cures that have been effected by the water, f Another spring is Chalybeate, and is said to F je a good tonic. As yet I have drank only j { ihe sulphur water. It tastes good and is . Q :ool, but smells like all sulphur water that I save made the acquaintance of. I can recom- a ?noni it for a good appetizer. The first two neals after we arrived here Mrs. Patterson seemed quite distressed because wc atc so * little; but she has not had anything to say >n that line since, and I am beginning to ear she will think something quite different ! f she never says it-and I don't imagine she | y Evil!, for she looks like she would make a real j f jood step-mother or mother-in-law. She has ? ^ [>een real kind to me since I have been here, j ^ ? met with a slight accident on my way here j md in consequence have had a sore foot to j 3urse. But haye had all the attention I could j ^ isk. Speaking of appetite, Ac, I might ^ make a few remarks of interest to those who like to go around at this time of thc year. I v lia ve enjoyed the best fried chicken, aud more c >f it, since arriving here than ever before in ^ my life in the same space of time. We also have as fine mutton as I ever ate, and the best af country butter and milk. The cooking is ^ jood, and the only fault that can be found Q might be the lack of variety ; but I am candid j in saying that I am quite pleased with thc fare. Our rGUte of travel to this place was over ^ the 3C's R. E., and we found it both quick iud pleasant. Leaving Sumter at 8.10 on the freight for Columbia, we made connection Bit the crossing with the train for Camden- I which was in fact the 3C*s train-and we ! came through without change of cars or bag- ^ gage. We arrived at the springs about dark, 1 and had it not been for a delay caused by waiting for thc repairing of a washout a few miles above Camden, we would have reached Patterson's about 5 o'clock. The passenger j car in which we rode was one of the 3C's ? cars, and was provided with more comforts I *" than is usually found upon passenger cars- 1 1 tu fact, it is' claimed for them that they are ! * ?qual in their appointments to drawing-room accommodations. The conductor arid his at? tendants were especially attentive, and our * jxperience on the trip coming up verified the claim of the management of this line that 1 "travel by it insures the patrons every atten- \ tioa possible, and most delightful accommo iation as well ?3 pleasure." The length of thc road now in operation j rrom Camden to Rutherfordton, N. C., is 148 miles, and so far as 1 have traveled upon it, fl the country through which it passes i? mostly r Eine farming land with some good timber, and 1 in places very pretty views are prescuted from ? z Lhe car windows. But as I have yet to pass j ^ in day time over the part of the road upon which the finest scenery is to he presented, md while, even if I had enjoyed the pleasure c af going over it all, I could not get into as jmall a space as much interesting information is I find in the traveler's guide issued by this c road I will copy from it the following : , "From and above Yorkvitle occasional t glimpses are had from the car windows of tho c sullying mountains called thc King's Moon- i tain Range. These monntains are said by ^ ?cientists to bc the remains of what was once I st stupendous chain, rivaling in height any 0 range in our country, but of such diameter af formation that they have wasted away, j t while the other ranges of firmer nature rc- : main to-day as created, lofty and all iiapres- t sive in their grandeur. A stop at Blacksbnrg will interest and g repay any who have the time. Thc iron a deposit, tho new a?:d the long ago abandoned a mines, ruins of old furnaces, the Underground c river, Whittaker's Mountain, thc celebrated I hattie ground of King's Mountain, r?volu- I tfouary monuments, Look Out Place, Indian * grave of thc Cherokee Kation, and the town, ? all in easy access, are among the attractions, s The springs about Blacksburg arc noted for t their purity which has attracted medical and r other scientific attention since the springs', f show no trace of what are usually regarded as medical properties, yet produce most c marked results in the way of cures to those, \ who, having faith in tradition, visit the place t to mako usa of them. The results have been y so noticeable in enres of various diseases as s to make some instances seem wonderful. i Thc Underground river may some day rival r Mammouth Cave. The sounds that come ; from it indicate its considerable size, and c those who control it will, soon as practicable, c make it accessible to the tourist. p Whittaker's mountain is one of Nature's c wonders, its formation being of iron ore of good quality underlaid by itacolumite, while t on the South side is a good quality of marble, t Its rises out of the valleys of Buffalo Creek s find Broad River, and lifting its iron summit 1 high above the surrounding country enables 1 one to see from it for miles in all directions. 1 For 30 to 150 miles the view i3 unbrokeu and | there is not auother view from any other c mountain that your guide baa visited, which j in grandeur, in panoramic effect, equals this, s A park of sixty acres has been secured by ( some gentlemen who have built a substantial 1 tower, a good mountain road, it is only ten J 1 minutes drive from the railroad station to the | ( mountain summit. The Blue Ridge is in sight from .Southwest Virginia to Georgia j { and wi 1 hon t the aid ufa glass can soe Shelby, ! \ N. C., Gaffney City, Whittaker and ?ork-ville, t g S. C., thc ride at Gastonia, thc monument on . I King's Mountain, thc South Mountains, ( Cherry Mountain, etc. From their elevation, \ \ mile above the sea, we look across the inter- c vening landscape and 100 to 150 ni i les away 1 see that grand range, tiie Biuc Ridge, piled g liken great barrier between our celebrated t Piedmont region and the bleak North and ( Northwest standing out in bold outlines f against thc Western sky. I Leaving Blacksburg, thc ride down thc 1 mountain to Buffalo Creek Bridge is full of 1 excitement. The descending grade makes thc f use of steam unnecessary, and it adds not a t little to tho pleasure of jhe tourist to realize 1 that he is sliding down a steep grade. i Tin; railroad skirts alongside tho mountain, i c winding in and out of deep and lar^e ravines | and valleys, tho mountain rising abruptly in j places 0:1 tiie right, while from thc car win- ? 'j dows on thc left wc look down into thc beau- j r tiful valleys. At Earles we reach thc summit 1 1 ofrtbe Post Road Ridge in North Carolina, 1 and from this enterprising village look back j r upon the mountains wc have so recently . \ passed and across the deep valley of Buffalo. I c At Patterson wc arc within ! mile of thc j > celebrated sulphur springs of the sanio name, i 1 thc hotels, etc. The site selected for the vii- t in?e is ono not often surpassed ; from it in all ? i directions thc view is beautiful ; wide valleys j ( lie between it and ibo King's Mountain t ? Range to the South, and in thc distance thc j r Blue Ridge stretches across the western hori? t zon. i At Shelby, A strikingly beautiful inland t town, are several excellent hotels, numerous boarding place?, and the celebrated Cleveland, t Patterson and McBrayerSprihgs, (of red ?nd j < white sulphur and of iron) with their several ; 1 hotels, are r.ll close nt hand. | ' Passing Shelby the rond turns once more to 1 i the West to avoid the Cherry Mountain 1 Range, and tue view from Shelby to R?ther. 1 fordton is enchanting in its ever varyin phases of river and valley, hillside and moui tain. Mooresboro, Henrietta and Forest City cac afford good stopping places, and the entii region illustrates by its hardy sons and beat tiful daughters, how health-giving is ii climate. At Rutherdfordton, a queer old mountni town, we for the present end our railroad e: perieoce. Its people are social, cultivated an agreeable in their kind attention to visit?n and whatever of additional accommodatio may be made to the hotel and boarding a< commodations of the place, they arc bound t be overrun yearly. Well equipped stables an good roads offer the visitor an opportunity t visit the surrounding country by short excni Bions. The mountains are less than thrc hours drive distant and to those who prefer t< Co to them. Chimney Rock and Hickory Nu Gap on thc route to Ashville offer much thn is attractive. The mountain passes at Whit Houso, Devil's Dowling Alley and Vein Motin tain, the route via Munford's Cove, Dizers ville or Golden Valley, eu route to Marioi ind Morganton, supply all that is romantii in lofty crags, deep anti dark valleys, roarinj ?ataracts, etc. The celebrated pools defy de scription ; deep down in solid rock worn bj ?ome force that the small stream now then loes not explain, they are unfathomable anc .epeated attempts bare failed to discern theil lepths. The Bridal Veil in Hickory Nut Ga? *all3 more than J of a mile, one uninterruptec j leet of water, which viewed from the car .iage road looks as if it were not more thar ts name implies All of this section is *vild jicturesque, grand, Chimney Rock tn~er;nf honsands of feet above the valley to the W jst ho mountains on the East sido of tho vailej {hutting it in by a huge and almost perpen licular wall. Picturesque fords, strange hab tations and people make of this whole regios ?ne full of interest to visitors." The number of visitors here is not as large ust now, T am told, as it has been ; but we jave a very pleasant party, and, as nsual we mve found several acquaintances. Mr. Giles rVilson, who taught the Bethel school the past ession is here, and also Mrs. Brown, the bet er-half of our old friend and brother, Rev. >idi Brown. He is also expected here in n lay or two. Mr. W. E. Lenoir was here intil to-day. There are several visitors here rom Asheville, and a good many from other ?ortions of North Carolina, and also several rom different parts of our State. Almost every day we have visitors from Jlcveland Springs-some 5 or 6 miles away. We have had a good shower of rain this ftcrnoon-the first since leaving home. N. G. 0. jiterary Entertainment at Mayes villo. Mr. Editor: It was the good fortune of our correspondent to attend a most delight ul entertainment, given by the Mayesville literary Society on Thursday evening last, at he Masonic Hall of that pleasant little town. Upon entering the building the eye was truck with the transformation, that only the lands of woman can effect, concealing the ?are walls of the "unfinished temple" under , mass of flowers, garlands and wreaths con erting the hall into a veritable bower, in the entre of which stood out in bold relief, the ratebword of the society : "Let the light nter." Precisely ot 9 P. M. the courtly Secretary, Ir. Charles Hudson, in his usual felicitious tyle, introduced to the assemblage, Prcsideut 3. Everett Alexander, who extended a warm welcome to the friends and guests of the or ;anization, and begged their kindest criticism ipon the programme they proposed to give. The programme was as follows: 1. President's Welcome-Mr. E. E. Alex mder, 2. Sextette. "The Fountain of Pleasure," -Misses Sue Mayes, Louisa Warren, Beck iVilson, Jennie Shaw and Messrs. J. B. Jayes and H. H. Corbett. 3. Reading. Selection from Morris Thomp on-Mr. E. W. Dabbs. 4. Quintette. "Tell me Where do Fairies )well,"-Misses Beck Wilson, Tanny ?Mayes, Sally Mayes, Jenny Shaw and Annie Hudson. 5. Reading. "The Foreclosure of the tforigage."-Miss Janie Bradley. 6. Song. "Down Among the .Dead Men." -Mr. J. S. Corbett. 7 "Essay on the life and works cf Morris rhompson,"-Mr. G. W. Melinde. 8. Trio. "O Doubting Heart."-Mis Sue Jayes, Miss Loui3a Warren, Mrs. R. C. Jayes. 9. Address by Rev. W. S. Bean. 10. Terzetto, "Row Brothers."-Messrs. H. J. S-, and H. H. Corbett. While every part of the programme was, ts we said before, given in splendid style, the uusicai gem of the evening was the trio .0 doubting heart!"-it was exquisitely endered ; thc delicious tones of the singers roicea and the perfection of the organ accom? paniment of Miss Mayes effected a blending >f harmony that would have gladdened the ars of Orpheus himself. Thc rendition of "The fountain of pleasure" vas also without fault, if the adventurous jpauish nobie could have gazed upon the lymphs whose lips chanted its cool seques ured delights this evening, and had tho inquest of one of them been the animus that aspired the gallant castilian to action, the vorld could no longer smile at his visions .ut have lauded his consummate judgment ind Ust?. Thc extract from Morris Thompson given >y Mr. Dabbs evinced good taste iu the selec ion, as well as more than ordinary talent in he rendition. Diylect reading is always difficult To pre erve the unities requires not only a thorough :ppreciation of the lights and shadows of the LUthor but a complete identification with the haracter personated. Thus, Mr. Dabbs ex libitcd in thc highest degree, as shown by his landling of thc dialogue between the hero md heroine; hi3 management ol* the drawl md uncouth provincialisms of the moon hiner, and the prim methodical mannerisms ?f the daughter of tho Hub were grand and ewarded by continuous bursts of laughter rom his delighted bearers. Mr. McBride's essay on the life and works )t the same author wa3 excellent, but really ve must own to the discredit of our reputa ion as ono of "those literary fellows," that ve had scarcely heard of the writer before, md had no idea until convinced by the log? eai ? language of the essayist, that we had ?eglected the splendid work of a Southern vriter, one who had written his name high m thc shaft of fame, as the compeer of Ran lall, Carleton, Hayes or any other of the 'rest dialect and humorous writers of the lay. Miss Bradley rendered "The foreclosure of bc mortgage," very happily. As had been he caso with the gentleman just referred to, he succeeded in identifying herself thorough y with her heroine, and won thc hearts of 1er hearers by her touching and pathetic de? lver}' of the piece. And now we come to the feature of thc ?vening, thc address of thc Rev, W. S. bean. L'he society acted willi their usual taste iii ?electing as their orator, a man so eminently jualified by travel and culturo to address rm ludiencoof refinement and education, on the iternry progress of the day, and -ho eloquent livinc more than justified their choice. It would be impossible for us to even at crnpt a synopsis of Mr. Bean's address, but vc will brkfjy give thc ideas of a few of his ?lieut points. From a sketch o'' thc country j 'arson's life us charming a3 good Sir. Roger Poverty's, he passed to a consideration of j vhal was worthy to bo classed as literature ind the best mode of improvement of thc nind by thc reading of standards in history, iciencc, romance and poetry and to avoid, as he grand old gardener's wife ought io have lone the serpent and the apple, all trashy and rivolous matter and low forms of wit and mmor as displayed upon the pages of thc Petrel Free Press and Texas Siftings, etc. To say thal thc audience were charmed, fills ar below the reality, and thc flowers, buds md blossom from daintily gloved hands sent. landed and thrown to the eloquent speaker ' rom al! p.il ls of the room evinced the delight j >f the enraptured audience. m Being a participant, we were scarcely in a j ?osilion to puss upon the merits of the closing Terzetto, an Aria from "Der Freischutz," nr .an^cd for three male voices by dpt. II. )ickson Cot bett, and sung by himself and lis two SODS, with his accompaniment. Our nodesty was somewhat shockecd by some rery pleasing compliments paid by some of >ur friends, but wc know that the Mayes .illians are nothing if not courteous and sun )camy, and wo (in public at least) attribute hese kind expressions to their eminent char ty and goodness of heart. Or, perhaps Ircndful thought!-What was Christopher jig'p ejaculation at the close of the perfbrrn mcc? "Avery pretty play, Madam lady hank God, 'tis done"-were their eongrat ilators rejoicing that we wcro through, and hat our hearors hud survived thc agony ? One thing was especially noticeable hroughout the whole evening, th? perfect irdcr that prevailed and thc courtesy with vhich every participant in the performances was received and listened to. No! a wuisper j uterrupted song, recital, or address, and the ' ipplausf at .th? close was always hearty but j within the prou?.r be-uuds. GAYKE. A Pair cf Shoes. Few of our readers pay much attention to foot-wear except as a necessary article ot apparel or when it happens to cover a pretty foot, and fewer still ever give thought to the skillful workmen and intricate machinery now required to produce a perfect shoe. iMany would be astonished to visit a large factory such ns W. L. Douglas' at Brockton, Mass., to see how the excellent shoes manu? factured by him could be mado to sell at such low prices. Never in the history of shoe? making in this country have such values been put into foot-wear as are shown to-day, and never has a well made and durable shoe been so completely within the reach ef the masses as at the present time. This of course is pleasant for tbs consumer, but mixed with ?be good comes thc had, and in making a selection one should be careful to get the best, as many poor imitations are on the market, whose appearance could bardi? distinguish them from first-class shoes. In buying it is better to get a standard make, that is guaranteed by the manufacturer and then you know what you arc purchasing, and can, in case defects should exist, obtain redress without expense to 3-011 rself. This system of stamping shoes with price and warrantee is used by W. L. Douglas on all his shoes which protects the wearer and gives inducements that no other manufacturer can, as the skillful labor and careful attention to every detail employed by Mr. Douglas make it almost impossible for an imperfect shoe to leave his Factory. You can get the Douglas show by mail when an agent of his is not convenient, direct from the Factory, at no cost to you other than the advertised pries, by simply stating the size and width yon usually wear and enclose price, or if yon profer send a postal card and directions will be sent for self mea? surement thus securing a perfect fit.

Capt. C. F.

As the rooms are being rapidly engaged, pupils from abroad would do well to apply aa soon as practicable.

GENTLEMEN : The Elliott Douglas Cotton Gin purchased of your agent, gives perfect satisfaction. We have ginned over 500 bales of cotton ou it without having to stop a sin? gle time on account of the Gin. We can safely say that it is far superior to an}' other gin, for the following reasons: 1st. It will gin wetter colton than any other gin. 2nd. It never gums the saws, wc don't aire how wet the cotton it. 3d. You can run it at a greater speed than any gin without knapping the cotton. 4th, and last, the sample can't be beat. We have used several kinds of gins, but none hy any means equaling the Elliott Douglas Gin. and would advise all ginners to see it run before they buy any other. As for the Feeder and Condenser, wo would not ex? change them for any other, this being the first we ever used, but have seen many run. We kuow it takes out more dirt than any we have seen. We forgot to say above, our Gin has never choked in ginning over 500 bales of cotton. Respectfully, T. T. & C. H. BRAZLEY, For catalogue prices and other testimo? nials, write 0. M.
