The Co?dition of Ladysmith
Causes Serious Apprehen?
sion.
COLONIAL DUTCH RISING.
London, Jan I-in the absence of
confirmation of the reported sortie
from Ladysmith, that story is dis
credited No such hopeful view can
be taken as the Boer account of the
Mafeking sortie seems to convey
No word regarding any such move
teeni ha9 yet arrived from British
sources : and the feeling of suspense
ie deepening, as it is feared Coi
Baden Powell's silence indicates that
his position is becoming desperate.
The dispatches from the front
breathe a confident spirit which is by
BO means echoed here.
The latest Ladysmith advices show
that the Boer shelling is becoming
deadly, while sickness and ?nnui
-?cst a?so be teiling strongly upon
the garrison. The news of tbe spread
of a rebellion among the Dutch col
onists and futile attempts of Boers to
cot the railway at widely different
points is very disquieting as bearing
upon the safety of the extended lines
of communication ?*.
All of the correspondents ore be
ginning to hint al a forward move?
ment on the part of Gen Buller, tbe
?anger of which is indicated in a
dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
Frere recording the unfortunate fail
?re of two reconnorssances. in ^>ne
ease the Boer iines at Colenso were
to have been bombarded by night
Mounted men drew the Boer fire,
and it was intended that the naval
guns should bombard This, how
ever, the latter failed to do, owing ro
some misunderstanding, and the re
connoitering party was compelled to
"flounder back to camp threugh the
wet and stormy night, marching in
mud and water and with the greatest
discomfort
According to the same correspond
ent a similar fate awaited auo?ber
reconnaissance in tbe opposite direc?
tion.
"Two detachments/7 says the dis
patch, "lost their way in the dark
ness. They were unable to effect a
. junction for attack ; they stumbled
into water boles and were out all
night, only to return drenched and
disappointed in the morning.'7
It is roughly estimated that there
are 25,000 Boers between Ladysmith
and Colenso, some 400 being on the
southside of the Tege'a river At
all points the enemy shows ceaseless
activity
? large cumber of Americans are
said to bs findir-'S their way into the
various volunteer regiments being rais
ed in Cape Colony It is also .-oponed
that xii zo j Africans are arrivir-g a
Delagoa Bay. bavicg Deon expelled
from tho rand because they had rc-fesed
to work toe Johannesburg oiues for thr
governmeni.
It is feared that the British recon
noi8sance north of Dordrecht, described
in a dispatch to the war office, cn av turn
out to have b;en a rather serious affair j
A correspondent of the Associated
Press at i>terk?rcoa:, telegraphing Dae
31st, say:*: "Capt Montmorency, of
the Tw?Dty-6r?t Lancers, with a patroi
of 120. was u'ConooireriDg eight mile;
north of L'orkrecht He met the Boers
at Labu-ehagoe's Nek They opened
fire and the British replied. The fight
tog continued for six hours, when the
Boers received e?roog reinforcements,
including artilery. Cape Montmer
reocy retired aod took a defensive posi
tioo at Dordrecht. The Boer* did not
purtue him Ic i- believed they re
tired oo their main body. TheirJosses
are not known.

Will ba Received Without
Penalty Until Feb
Tho people cf the State who nave
failed to pay their tases by Dec olsf,
as required by Uw, will read with real
pleasure the aoocnuoemeot that the
time for the payment cf tares with: ut
the penalties has been extended to the
firs: day of Feoruary nest
This extension was granted yts'eroay
by the goverr.or aod comptroller gen?
eral, when in their judgment it is
deemed expedient and to the best inter?
ests of the people and the State Y*-s
terday morning the governor and the
comptroller talked the matter over very
carefully and the extension was not
made beoause of aoy urgent appeals
! received, but in order to avoid com
j plications that only serve to mix up tLe
tax collecting machinery and throw it
into a hopeless tangle. For instance,
the general assembly almost invariably
entends the time by concurrent r?solu?
tions. Before it can act the time for
the payment of taxes without penalty
expires and in the interim those who
pay up have to-g)ay the penalties also,
ween iater on rae extension by the leg?
islative process cornea along those who
have paid the penalties want tho.co pen
cities back and confusion worse con?
founded in the accouois of the treasury
occurs, oausiog the comptroller's ofnee
worry and trouble throcghou: the year
and giving room for charges to be mar-e
against honest officials occupying the
treasurers' offices. The necessity for
some change io the tax laws tc obviate
this trouble seems imperative
Tnis is tho principal reason why the
extension is grauted this year The
omp'roiler is very anxious to get all
thc machinery running on a business?
like basis, and to rois end he thought it
wise to extend the ritLc for the ;ajtn c

SAMUEL HUNT, President.
A. TRIPP. Superintendent.
S.B.JiUAJPKIN, Gen'l Paisengar Affi?t.
I 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 time's
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, cur grateful thanks to them for the liberal
patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can ofter nothingHn
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 vre tried to anticipate this seasoivs wants by
buyii g a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far
exceeded cur expectations, that we have been obliged to re?
plenish frequently and freely every department of our store.
f Wc bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage
of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices.
Those
ar Heel Blankets
Which you have been waiting for sb 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 Sout?ern Wool,
By 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 get left.
Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of
shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don't
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 QI hand will go at the old prices while
they last.
In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe?
cial to suv about
The E. G. Godman Line for Women and Children.
Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth.
Bear in mind we are still the SOLE AGENTS FOR THEM AND
GUARANTEE EVERY PAIR.
THE L. M. REYNOLDS LIKE OF MEN'S SHOES, sold
exclusively by us, are trade-winners. The prices range from
?1.75 to ?3 50. and every pair warranted. If you want the
best $3 00 shoe buy a Reynolds.
This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing
business, and if there aro any of the men or boys in the county
who have not bought a suit, it has not been cur fault ; but fear
in- there still may ho a few unprovided, we are keeping up our
