At the same time it was decided to huiid a 500 barrel oil refinery in Charleston A few days later President Perry Moses and Secretary and Treasurer A. C. Phelps visited Charleston for the purpose of securing a site for the proposed refinery. Several suitable lots were offered them, but while negotiations for a lot were in progress, it was ascertained that the plant of the Mutual Refinery Co., could be purchased at a fair price and they made an offer for it. On Saturday a telegram was received from tbe president ot the Mumal Refioery Co., acceptiog tbe offer. Messrs.

We believe Chamberlain's Ccugn Remedy is the nest in the world. A few weeks ago we suffered with a severe co!d and a troubfe eome cougb, and having read their advertise? ments in our own and other papers we pur? chased a bottle to see ii it would affect us. It cured ns before the bottle was more than half used. It is the best medicine out for colds and coughs.-The Herald, Aodersooville, Ind. For sala by A J China Harry W Scarborough for Sheriff.

He is a strong man, and will make tbe race interesting to the other candidates ^ handler, the Clothier. Tho new advertisement of D J. Chandler, tte clothier, is interesting reading, and no one should skip it O'Donnell & Co. There is a new advertisement ic today's paper teiliog of tbe large stock now displayed io the store of O'Donnell k Co. Read the ad and then examine the goods Gambling in Futures. The following paper was unanimously adopted by the Sumter Baptist Church ac a recent meeting : "The fluctuations during some mouths past io the price of cotton and the consequent excitement in the minds of people, tending to stimulate the spirit of speculation, indicate the propriety of an expression of opinion on the part of Christian churches as to at least one form of speculation, tbe purchase and sale of "futures." to which there is a great temptation in all such periods of fluctsations io prices. To nominally boy or Fell at a future time anything, of wbicb neither party is the pres? ent or prospective owner, and an actual de? livery of which is intended by neither, is io fact nothing else tbao to bet on future prices, wbicb caonot be distinguished from gam? bling. The principles involved are unholy, tbe consequences are drsastroos. This is the view of society outside of religious associa? tions. Tbe laws of the country declare such contracts void-not to be enforced by legal machinery. Christian churches should go further, and should dec'are such acta to be inconsistent with Christian profession and with member? ship in a Christian Church. This Church, therefore declares that its members must abstain from such acts here? after, if they desire to remain in fellowship with us." Has Returned. Dr W. G Browne, the weil k: own, thor? ough and reliable Optician is again at tbe Nixon House, folly prepared to treat all de? fects of vision with his superior glasses, io every styles and quality of frames Consul? tation and examinations free.

B n Rift Thmg that's cIieap-a cheap WWA Ai %JA ^iU%^ Jb JMftULV suit is an expensive suit at I any price. It may look passably fair on the counter-in fact a cheap suit is made to look its best while on sale, but after a week's wear it bags at the knees, pushes up in the back, frays out at the bottom, while the pockets have a hang-dog look, and the general appearance of pre? mature decay that lingers about the wearer is evidence that he has been making a futile attempt to save money by indulging in a cheap suit of clothes. We don't keep the cheap kind. We do have some good suits at reasonably low prices, but they're not the cheaply made kind. They're made not alone to sell, but to wear. The Right Way to Buy Clothing. The Right Way is to buy good Clothing at a fair price. That's true economy. We have been teaching it in Sumter for the pa6t ten years. Every year we add to our experience in the Clothing business, we are better qualified and better prepared to teach true economy. This season we have placed in stock a large assortment of Clothing, Hats and Furnishing Goods From which the citizens of Sumter can make a selection. Our steadily growing business is evi? dence that our actions and methods are fair and honorable. As proof of this we can point with pride to the hundreds of families who commenced trading with us years ago and who are today our staunehest friends and warmest patrons. They have tested thoroughly the r Truth of the Old Adage-"The Proof Of the Pudding is in the Eating." They have eaten and are satisfied -so would you be-and so will everybody be who trades at D? J.
