O'DONNELL & CO.
An Open Letter to the
Farmers*
Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in
Every Respect.
In our long experience in merchandising we have never
procured goods in every line more satisfactory with a view to
low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North. We
allowed no opportunity looking to this most important ecd to
I pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give our cus?
tomers the full benefit of, feeling sure that we could not give
' more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude
to our country friends. We know by experience the special
wants of our farmers, whose friendship we think we have a
peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it v^as which
was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various
farmer Alliances, and that our dealings with thes*e gentlemen
were most satisfactory in every particular and were appreciated
is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of
our business. We take much pride in this, and are determined
by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible
prices to retain our hard earned popularity. Our store is fre?
quently literally packed with customers during the busy season;
and this fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most em?
phatically sustains the correctness of our statement.
We have not of course the space to lay before the. public
all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited portion.
Probably much that is omitted will be found even more in?
viting.

Clothing Department
This is a kind of bobby with us.
We cannot resist the temptation of buying, no matter wbat the quantity may be
if thc styles and prices are rigbt, and it was our good fortune to secure a line of
about fifteen styles of

That were made by a Merchant?Tailoring Establishment to sell from $12.50 to
$15.00, but. we bought them to sell /
From S7 to ?8.50.

would be an injustice to them to terminate this ai tide without saying a word
about their flour.
WE EAVE SOLD 3,000 BARRELS
Of their goods in the past year and the best evidence of their merit is that
we have never had a package returned, or complaint made.' We have
arranged with the mill to deliver this flour in any part of the county
in 5 barrel lois on a basis of Sumter carload rates.
Mr. Gibson is associated with us in the cotton business and will

THE CRISIS IN SPAIN.
What is Said of It tn Wash
iogton Diplomatic Circles.
Washington, September 30 -Min
ister' Woodford op to the hour o
closing the department to day hat
not informed the*, state department o
the Spanish cabinet crisis The mail
point of interest here at present ii
the composition of the new* cabine
jtnd it is expected that Mr. ^oodfon
. will not neglect to obtain and cabh
to his government the earliest in for
mation possible on that point. Ii
administration circles to day opinion*
are fairly divided as to the outcome
whether the new cabinet will be lib
.r. eral or conservative, and as that is i
matter of gravest importance to om
government, as influencing the lin?
of policy to.be followed as to Coba
there is a strong desire to obtain in
formation as to the prospects
K- The President had scarcely reach?
ed the White House this rooming be
lg- fore Secretary Sherman called to set
bim He was closely followed bj
Assistant Secretary Day, and, al
though it is understood that the lat?
ter's visit had largely to do with state
department appointments, it is not
doubted that there was a discussion
of the last Madrid developments
In'the absence of the Spanish min?
ister. Mr. Da Bose is th<| senior offi
cial here, bat he has not called at the
state department, and has not, as fai
as can be 'learned, received officia!
advices from Madrid
Diplomats familiar with Spanish af
fairs admit that conditions point tc
one of two results, namely : the com
p?ete collapse of the conservative re
gime, which has been responsible foi
the Cuban policy, and its succession
by a liberal cabinet with pacific and
conciliatory tendencies toward Cuba,
or else a transition ministry, with
Azcarraga again at the head, as a
temporary expedition to tide ovei
affairs until the cortes eau meet and
a permanent and stable ministry be
formed.
Officials believe that a complete
change of ministry and political par
ties with Sagasta as the new leader
is the more probable In ?hat case,
it is said Senor Moret probably
would become minister of foreign af
fairs Moret is best remembered in
the United States from the fact that
he was the first to recognize the
Mora claim, presented by the United
States. It make him a target for
criticism in Spain, bat he was uki
mately justified by his political op
ponents when they paid the claim
after the energetic demaud made by
Secretary Olney.
The name of Senor Gamazo has
been mentioned in the Madrid cables
as likely to take the foreign portfolio
in a Sagasta cabinet, but this is be
lieved to be erroneous, as Gamazo
has never been prominent in state af
fairs, but is noted as a financier, and
was a financial minister in a
former liberal cabinet. He
has a strong following, and it is
believed by officials that he would
take the treasury portfolio in a liberal
cabinet
It is stated with positiveness that
American affairs did not bring on the
crisis, bot that it was doe entirely
to internal policies, of which the
excommunication of Senor Navarro
Reveter, minister of gnance in the
fallen cabnet, formed a par? This
fact has been briefly mentioned in
the cable dispatches, bnt the circum
stances of the excommunication are
more fully explained here It ap j
pears that the minister of finance in i
sisted that the church property in an j
interior diocese should pay taxes as
other property. *This was opposed I
by the bishop, who claimed a church j
exemption The minister therupon
resorted to the usual legal procedure,
levying on the church property for
default in tax payments. The bishop
responded by a decree of excommuni?
cation against the minister of finance
The latter appealed to the metropoli?
tan of the see. who ruled against the
bishop The latter was insistent on
his prerogatives, claiming that a
; bishop was supreme ni matters af
i fectiog an excommunication The
case has now been appealed to Rome
for final determination In the mean
time., the excommunication of the
minister stands, and to some extent
has hs influence 3gainet the entire
cabinet, owing to the strong church j
sentiment in Spain and the official
union between church and state It
? is not doubted that the queen regent
j would be guided in such a question
j affecting the cabinet by the wishes of
Rome

All in great excitement, the chara
ber defeated the resolution by a vote
of 93 to 30 This defeat precipitated
a crisis. It is deemed impracticable
for M. Halli to continue in office with
the cabinet as now constituted. The
