According to tbe Florence Times
Dr Evans says that the smallpox
situation still affords abundant occu
paiion for the officials of the State
board of health. lie kept the wirea
pretty warm yesterday in this mat
ter. The poople of George's have
been snddeiy panic stricken over the
development of the iofcctiou there
and were impatient at the delay
necessary in securing a physician to
take charge Ho failed in his at
tempts to get loc?! physicians to
look afte? tlin matter and finally was
obliged to get a physician to go up
from Charleston
There have bsen a number of cases
reported from Sumtnerton that have |
recently broken out. Ho has hud
trouble in getting local physicians to
take charges of cases in other towns
than George's and the people are ob
jecting to vaccination and in many
wjys making the lot of the physician
in charge i hard one
He baa just received a number
of commissions from the governor
appointing special health officers
with power to vaccinate or imprison
and exile parties who will not Le
vaccinated and he will lose no time
in sppointing these special officers
and arming .them with plenarv
authority at ail infected points ?

An Itallian Town
Falls Into The Sea.
Huge Rook, With Hotel?,
Monastery and Villas
Rome, Dec 22.?A terrible disaster
took place this afternoon et Amalfi,
the popular tourist resort on tbe
Gulf ot Salerno. About 2 o'clock
an enormous rock on which stood the
Capuccini hotel slid bodily into the
sea with a deafening roar and without
amoment'a warning, carrying with
it the hotel, the old Capuchin monss
tery below, the Hotel Santa Calerina
and several villas
Many persons were buried in tbe
debris, which crushed four vessels to
tbe bottom of the eeu, destroying
their orews The moss of earth
which slipped woo about 50,000 cubic
yordo
The population iu in a state of ter?
ror, feoring fresh calamities. Troops
bave orrived upon tbe eceoe and
begun rescue work.
It is believed tbst the loss of life
is heavy, incloding a number of
monks end tbe occupants of the
hotel As yet, it is impossible to
ascertain tbe exaot number.
Amalfi is a small bat lively town
of 7,000 inhabitants, situated at the
entrance of n deep ravine surround
ed by imposing mountains and rocks
of tbe most picturesque forms- i The
Capuchin monasteiy was found?
ed in 1212 by Cardinal Pietro Capua
no for the Cistercians, but came into
possession of the Capuchins in 1583
The building which stood in the
hollow of the great rock that rose
abruptly from the uea to a height of
230 feet contained fine cloisters.

Mormons in Hampton.
Charleston, Doc 21. ? Mormon
elders, two at a time, seven years
ago began to visit the great swamp
sectiou of Hampton county near the
seacoast of this State and made many
converts among the Baptist back?
woodsmen near Ridgeland They
now have so large a following that
they bave established a church at
which eight Mormon elders were at
work several weeks ago. Tbe dele
gstion to the State legislature has
been asked by the orthodox people
of Hampton county to work for a
law to extirpate the elders, and say
that "prompt legislation stnay save
them from having the mob violence
that some sister States have lately
had in trying to rid themselves of
these disgraceful parasites "

-TO OUR FRIENDS.
MR. EDITOR:
You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent
issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regard
to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "in
good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times
it did not pay." While we have always found that advertising
paid us, we must confess that for the past sixty days any in?
crease of business that we might secure by that means, could
not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has
been taxed to its utmost capacity.
Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an
opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country,
we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of the Watch?
man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal
patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in
return except our promise that their interests will be as care?
fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past.
It is particularly gratifying to us to"?acknowledge a very
liberal trade during the months of September and October from
our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a
credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate
our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they
need assistance, as we have always tried to be?our motto
being
LIVE AND LET LIVE
Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by
buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far
exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re?
plenish frequently and freely every department of our store.
In Dry Good* I
We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage
of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices,
Those
Tar Heel Hlamkefs
Which you have been waiting for so long have come at
last. It was not our fault that they were not here sooner as
our contracts were made in May for September delivery, but
the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to
deliver them sooner. These goods are made in
A Southern Mill.
From Southern Wool,
Bv Southern Men
and there are none better. They are improving on the finish
every year. We are selling at the same price as last year: but
if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance.
We only have about
FIFTY PAIRS,
so don't put off buying, or you may ^ t left.
SHOES.
Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of
shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We doirt
know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for
Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying
now for Spring and paying 10 to 15 per cent more for the same
class of goods, but those ou hand will go at the old prices while
they last.
In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe?
cial to say about
The H. 0. Godinan Line for Women and Children.
Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth.
Bear in mind we are still the Sou: AGENTS von them and
Guarantee every Pair.
THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINE OP MEN S SHOES, sold
exclusively by us. are trade-winners. The prices range from
$1.75 to $r?.50, and every pair warranted. If you want the
best $3 00 shoe buy a Reynolds.
CLOTHING.
This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing
business, and if there are any of the men or boys in the county
who have not bought a suit, it has not been our fault : but fear?
ing there still may be a few unprovided, we are keeping up our
stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by express.
If you need an overcoat see us before buying, as we have
some great values.
In our Hat and Furnishing Goods De?
partment will be found some values that compare favora?
bly with the balance of our stock.
This announcement would not be complete without a
word about our
GROCERY STOCK.
This department is up to the usual standard, and that is
saving about all that is necessary for it. Our MILLBURNB
FLOUR, of which we believe there is more sold in this county
than other brand, is pronounced by those who use it unsur?
passed.
