A few days Inter President Perry Moses aod

Gambling in Futures.
Tbe following paper waa unanimooaly
adopted by the Somter Beptitt Church st a
recent men ting :
"The fluctuations during some months
past io tbo price of cotton nnd tbe consequent
eicitemsnt in the minds of people, tending
to stimulate tba apirit of speculation, indicate
lbs propriety of ao eiprectioe of opioioo oa
tbe pert of Christian eborehee as to st leeat
one form of specslation, tbe purcbass and
aale of "futures," to wblcb there ia a great
temptatioo io all such periods of fluctuations
io prices.
To nominally boy or fall at a future time
enytbieg, of which otitber party is the pres?
ent or prospective owner, aod an actual de?
livery or wblcb ia intended by neither, is in
fset nothing slse tban to bat oo future prices,
wbioh caooot be diatioguished from gam?
bling. Tbo principles involved are unholy,
the consequences are disastrous. This is the
view of society outaide of religious associa?
tions. Tbe lawa of the country declare auch
cootraeta void? not to be toforred by legal
macbiotry.
Ohriitiao churches should go further, and
should dec'are such acts tobe inennaistent
with Obriatian profession and witb member
ahip in a Obriatian Church.
This Church, therefore declares that its
members must abstain from such acta here?
after, if tbey desire to remain in fellowship

OUA JL WsV UslllJ JL AalsUlw? suit is an expensive suit at
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 goo Clothing at a fair price. That's true economy. We have
been teaching it in Sumter for the l *t ten years. Every year we add to our experience in the
Clothing business, we are better qualiued 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 staunchest friends and warmest patrons.
They have tested thoroughly the 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 eo will everybody be who trades at
