THE WATCHMAN AND SOUTHRON, OCTOBER 17, 1900. logy to our patrons for being m late in making our We owe an M?lM?lM?LilMMMJlfLilfSiffiM But the gentleman who has charge of our advertising department has been so busy attending to other matters, that he seems to have slightly neglected this very important branch of our business While we are Firm believers in newspapers as a means of making known the good things you have to offer, oar experience is, that the people with whom you have been dealing and who have always gotten ONE HUNDRED CENTS WORTH For every dollar they gave you are the best advertisers This we have proven beyond all doubt during the past month, in which our business has been the largest ever recorded in September. Some of our friends attracted by newspaper advertise? ments or curiosity would go into othes stores, and after looking through to their entire satisfaction would return and make their bill with us, admitting frankly that we were offering BETTER VALUES THAN OUR COMPETITORS. It takes years to build a reputation of this character and we feel very proud of it. Our stock for the present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we space to display it, we could fill a store twice as large as the one we now occupy, our duplicate stock being larger than what we have on exhibition on the first floor. All this we hope will be reme? died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected. Hats? We established a reputation is this line some years ago, that we have been constantly adding to We sup? ply a good many dealers, wbo mast save money by buying from us, or they would non do so. Ootside of our regular line we bought 100 Dozen From a commission house at about 60 cents on the dollar. We have Men's and Boys fur Hats at 25 and 50 cents, and the Mao's Hat we sell at 75c would appear cheap, if bought elsewhere for $1.25. Clothing? This has always been a strong line with us, and we can assure those who have favored us with their pa tronage in this department formerly, that we have never bad a better line to select from Men's all wool Cheviots, $5, $7 50 and $10. Men's Fancy Worsteds, $5, $7 50, $10 and $12 Men's ali wool Cassimers, $5, ?6, $7 50, $10 and $12 50 Men s Clay Worsteds, in black and colors, $5, $6, $7 50, $10, $12 & $15 BOYS' CLOTHING. 750 pairs Boy's Knee Pants, worth 35c, 40c and 50c at . 25c per pair. We bought the remnant of a man? ufacturer's stock, the quantity seems large, bot the way they are going they won't last long 250 Boy's Double Breasted Suits at 75c and $1. These goods are worth 33J to 50 per cent more. Our line at $1 50, $2, $2 50, $3 50 and $5 cannot be beaten. Dry Goods. Here will be found as complete a line of Staple and Domestic Goods as the needs of any housekeeper de maud Our DOMESTICS were bought on a basis of T cents cotton, aud while we did not think at the time that cotton was going to 10 cents we in? vested in 50,000 Yards We have 100 pieces of Outings at 5, 6| and 8?c-as cheap as they were ever sold getting Jobbers' prices, thereby sav 50 pieces of Flannelettes at 8Jc- jDg tbe middle man's profit, and giv tbis is a very desirable fabric for ing the benefit of it to our customers Waists and Wrappers, and is easily If anything was needed to strengthen worth 10 to 12ic. this department, we have certainly 50 PairS Tar Heel 8QCCee(^e^ 10 doing so by the addi Blankets. .

O'DONNELL & CO. O'DONNELL & CO Strikers Will Make Further Demands. UNLIKELY THAT THE CONVENTION WILL END TROUBLE. Soraotoo, Pa, Oct ll -The oooven tioD of the anthracite mioers DOW on strike throughout the eotire hard ooal fields IB Pennsylvania will meet io this otty tomorrow morn io g for the purpose of considering the 10 per cent increase io wages proffered them by nearly all the mine operate rs in tbe region. The delegates to the convention who began arriving today b&ve all sorts cf instructions from their local unions on the proposition of the operators. It was learned that most of them now oo the ground will vote to rej?ct the 10 per sent inerease unless the operators make further concessions Many of tho mioers will not favor the advance unless the operators give a guarantee that the increase will be kept io force for a fixed length of time, others want the unioo recognised before they will accept the proposition, while DOC a few insist upon concessions in the other griev? ance i. The belief is general that in the absence of any uniform instructions among the delegate?, the chances of a settlement by this convention are rather slight. It is the impression of several labor leaders that at least a second convention will have to be held before aoy definite action will be taken look? ing toward ao early eodiog of the contest The Fertilizer Tax Clemson Colege's revenue from the inspection tax on fertilizer will this year be more than usual Year be? fore last it was. $59,000.

William Jennings J Farmers Should Plant Gram. The daog*er to Georgia and the acuth io tes ceo ts cotton lies io tbe temptation it offers to farmers who bave, through the past five years of low priced cotton, been gradually growing into the praotice of planting ample focd crops, to go Oack to tbs oid ruinous custom of raising all cotton Such a foolish policy would mean not only ac eod to ten cents cotton, bu', to tbe improved conditions on the farm. lu a letter to tbe rdttor of the Macon Telegraph, Hon O B. Stevens, Geor? gia's wide awake commissioner cf agri? culture, writes strongly upon thia mat? ter, as follows : "Since the cotton crop in many sec? tions of Georgia is about gathered, and the recent rains have put tbe ground tn fioe condition to prepare for grain, it rather strikes me that it wouid be a gocd lime to start your wheat compaign if you contemplate pushing it again ibis fall "You are entitled to all oredit for the great good tbe wheat crop has done and is doing Georgia, and for the fact that it bas served thousao?a of farmers this last spring and summer from buy? ing oom and forage and from debt. "it 19 true that it would seem a hard undertaking to in?aoe farmers to plant wheat and other grain when they are getting from 9 12 to 10 cents a pound I for cotton, bot it will be a great mis- i take for our people to neglect so great j a crop, as we aro able to produce io !

Our market opened steady at the decline, rallied on local buying slowly to esse the lowest prices of yesterday.
