We ?we an f fceins: 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, our 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 yow are the fee?t aflverti?er?? 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 other 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.

Conger Peace Instructions. Will Immediately Open Ne? gotiations With China's En voy s. Washington, Oct 25 -Minister Con? ger has beeo authorized by this govern -ment to begin negotiations at once with the Chinese envoys on the basis of the points in the German and French notes, upon which all of ?be powers are agreed. Upoo those points where di Tergeoce of views has been foaod to exist the governments of the powere themselves mil negotiate with a view to reaching a farther understanding. It is uoderstood that the ministerial representatives at Pekin of the other powers have simiiar iostruo ious, bat whether they have or Dot Mr Conger is not to be restrained. The Berlin state menr that Germany has agreed to Japao*3 proposals that peace negotia tiens wi:a Chioa shall for the present be entrusted to the foreign representa? tives at Pekin i* regarded here as an indication that Germany bss takon similar action in toe case of Minister Moxam Von Schwar z?nrein The state department today reoaived j notice from the British government of j the terms of the arraogemeot reached ! between Great Britain and Germany j as to Chioa Tbis is similar at all j poiots to the copy foroisbed by the j German government through Count De I Quadt, several days ago Now that both g07croments have been beard from formally, the state department will turn j its attentioc to the preparation of the j answer, whieh, as already indicated io these dispatches, will deal with the points likely to be acceptable to the ! other governments, leaving the third paragraph for further consideration.

Clemson's Assistant Manager Has Arrived in Columbia . Assistant Manager Hill of the Clemson College football team arrived io tbe city last night and will be here through fair week making final ar rangemeot8 with Mauager Crawford for the big football game between Carolina aod Clemson on Thursday of fair week. Around this game cen tere more interest and enthusiasm probably thar? any other event of the whole fair week It is a social as well as an athletic event. People from all parts of the State are coming tr> see tbe two rival State collegee strug for supremacy on the grid? iron Tins year the teams are more even !y matched than ever before, and a b?tile royal wiii bethe result. Clem son is as strong as ever on offense, '.but wefuily weak on defense" they say. Besides, Kinsler, the center, and Doutbit. fullback, have been out of the game for the past few days and it is very doubtful that they can play on Thursday Earle, a substitute, will probably take Doutbit's place at full, whiie Duckworth will be shifted from tackle to center-Woodward taking Duckworth's place at tackle. These chances wiil make Clemson very light bht will, therefore, rely very mach on Forsythe'e kicking qualities and Hunter's bacKs On tbe other hand, Carolina is un doubtedly stronger than ever before as shown by her receut game with the University of Georgia, one of the leading teama in the south, Carolina i outplaying Georgia but being unable to win on account of a slow time keeper and a bum referee. Taking all things into considera lion, the coming game will hardly be a walk over as last year-but a game desperately fought to the very last down All lovers of good, clean football should be on band and help cheer their friends along The game will be called promptly at 11:30 o'clock Thursday-The State.
