O'DOlWELL & ??.
We owe an apology to our patron? for being so late in making our
Fall Announcement
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 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 other Ptores, 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 611 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. AU this we hope will be reme?
died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected.

We established a repntatioo in this
line tome yen re ago, thet we have
been ooaetently edding to. We nop
ply ? good many dealers, who moil
save money bj buying from ut, or
they would oot do eo. Outside of
oar regular line we bought
100 Dozen
From a commission boose at about
eo cents on the dollar
We have Men's sod Boy s fur
Hate at 25 and 50 cents, and the
Mao's Hst we aell at 75c would
appear cheap, if bought elsewhere
for $1.25
OD
Clothing.
' This hss slwsys been a strong line
with us, and we can assure those
who hsve favored, us with their ps
troosge in thi* department formerly,
that we have never bad s better line
to select from
Men's sll wool Cheviots, $5, $7 50
snd $10.
Men's Fancy Worsteds, $5. $7 50,
$10 sod $12
Men's all wool Csssimers, $5, $6,

760 pairs

large, but the way they are going
they won't last long
250
Boy's Double Breasted
at 75c and $1.
Tlrese goods are worth 33?. to 50 per
cent more. Our hue at
$1 50, $2, $2 50, $3 50 snd $5
cannot be beaten
Dry Goods.
Here will be found as complete a
line of Staple snd Domestic Goods
as the needs of any housekeeper de
msnd
Our DOMESTICS were bought ou
s basis of 7 oents cotton, and white
we did not think at the time that
cotton was going to 10 cents we in?
vested io
50.000 Yards
We have
100 pieces of Outings at 5, 6] and
8Jc?as cheap ss they were ever sold J
50 pieces of Flannelettes at 8Jc?
this is a very desirable fabric for
Waists and Wrappers, and is easily
worth 10 to l2Jo.
60 Pairs Tar Heel
Blankets.
These are not in stock, but will be
by the time this reaches you, as they
are on the way. Yon know what
they are, and no advance in price.
We have a complete line of cheap
Blanketi from 75o to $1.50.
A line of Comforts from 75c to $2
Our stock of Sheeting, Pillow cas
ing, Table Damask, Doylies and
Napkins is complete snd prices right
If there is any one line in our bouso
better than another we believe Ibis
is it All our Shoes are bought
direct from manufacturers, and in
such quantities, ss to warrant U8 in
getting Jobbers' prices, thereby sav
ing the middle man's profit, and giv?
ing the benefit of it to our customers
If anything was ueeded to strengthen
this department, wo have certainly
succeeded in doing so by the addi
lion of the
BAY STATE LINE
and
E. P. REED & CO S LINE
of Women's fine Shoes
This latter line is no stranger to
the ladies of Snratcr County, as we
handled them with a great deal o!
pleasure and satisfaction up to a few
years ago, but for some reason, they
withdrew from this territory, and we
feel assured their old patrons will be
plcaped to welcome them back.
Reynolds', Bay State, E. P
Reed & Co. and Godman are
Hard to Beat.
In addition to these we carry a
complete line of Men aud Women's
staple Shoes
^| S) A
We hesitate to pay how many of
these we bought, as we might be
accused of varying from the path of
truthfulness, but we are safe in as?
serting not less tbsn
250 Dozen
Just think of it ! 3,000 SHIRTS.
Ycu would naturally say, why do
you buy so many ? If you saw what
we are selling for
25 Cents
You would ask no further question.
You cannot buy goods right unless
you buy quantities

Some Facts About the
Great Football Game.
Clemaon's Assistant Manager
Has Arrived In Columbia.
?
Assistant Manager Hill of the
Clemson College football team arrived
io the city lost night and will be hers
through fsir week making final or
raogemeota with Mauager Crawford
for the big football game between
Carolina sod Clemson on Thursday of
fsir week Around this game cen
ters more interest and enthusiasm
probably than any other event of the
whole fair week It is a social as
well ss an athletic event. People
from all parts of the State are coming
to see the two rival State colleges
struggle for supremacy on the grid?
iron
Tnis year the teams are more even
ly matched than ever before, and a
battle royal wiii be the result. Clem
eon is ss strong or ever on offense,
'?but wofuily weak on defense" they
ssy. Beeiden, rvinslcr, the center,
and Douthit. fullback, have been out
ot the game for tht past few days and
it is very doubtfuS thut they can play
on Thursday Katie, a substitute,
wi!) probably take Douthit's place at
full, while Duckworth will be shifted
from tackle to center?Woodward
taking Duckworth's place at tsckle.
These changes will make Clemson
very light bnv will, therefore, rely
very much on Forsythe'e sicking
qualities and Hunter's bucks
On the other hand, Carolina is un
doubtedly stronger than ever before
as shown by her receut game with
the University of Georgia, one of the
lesding tesmo in the south, Carolina
outplaying Georgia but being unable
to win ou account of a slow time
keeper and a bum referee.
Taking all things into considers
tion. the coming game will hardly be
a walk over aa last year?but a game
desperately fought to the very last
