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 believerejn newspapers ns 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 gotter?
ONE HUNDRED CENTS WORTH
For every dollar they gave you are the best advertisers*
Thia^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
It
BETTER VALUES THAN OUR COMPETITORS.
t 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. All this we hope will be reme?
died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected.

We established ? repetition in this

Clothing.
Tbis has always been a strong line
with os, and we csn assure those
wbo 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.
Meu's Fancy Worsteds, $5 $7 50,
$10 and $12

BOYS' CLOTHING.
750 pairs
Boy s Knee Pants, worth 35c, 40c
and 50o st
26c per pair.
We bought tbe remnant of a man?
ufacturer's stock, tbe quantity seems
large, but the way they are going
they won't last long ,
250
Boy's Double Breasted Suits
at 75c and $1.
These goods are worth 33.\ to 50 per
cent more. Our line at
$1 50, $2, $2 50, $3 50 and $5
cannot be beaten.
Dry Goods*
Hero will be found as complete a
line of Staple and Domestic Goods
as tbe needs of any housekeeper de
mend
Our DOMESTICS were bought on
a basis of 7 cents cotton, and while
we did cot think st the time that
cotton was going to 10 cents we in?
vested in
50,000 Yards
We have
100 pieces of Outings st 5, 6 [ snd
8-Jc?as chesp as they were ever sold j
50 pieces of Flannelettes st 8Jc? !
this is a very desirable fabric for
Waists and Wrappers, and is easily
worth 10 to 12Jc.
50 Pairs Tar Heel
Blankets ?
These are not in stock, but will be
by the time tbis reaches you, as they
are on the way You know what
tbey are, and no advance in price.
We have a complete line of cheap
Blankets from 75c to $1.50.
A line of Comforts from 75c to $2
(fur stock of Sheeting, Piilow cas?
ing, Table Damask, Doylies and
Napkins is complete and prices right
Shoes.
If there is sny one line in our house
better than another we believe this
is it All our Shoes are bought
direct from manufacturers, and in
such quantities, as to warrant us in
getting Jobbers' prices, thereby sav I
ing tbe middle man's profit, and giv- ;
ing the benefit of it to our customers
If anything was needed to strengthen
tbis department, we have certainly I
succeeded in doing so by the addi?
tion 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 Surater County, as we
handled them with a great deal of
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
pleased 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 otid Women's
staple Shoes
Shirts.
We hesitate to say how^ many of
these we bought, is we "might be
accused of varyinr; from the path of
truthfulness, bnt we are safe in as?
serting not less tbLn
250 Dozen
Just think of it! 3.0C0 SHIETS.
You would naturally esy, why do
you buy so many ? If you saw what
we are selling for
25 Cents
You would ask no fortber question.
You cannot buy goods right unlece
you buy quantities

Mayor Van Wyck'sCase
Was Too Hot to Handle.
PROOF TO JUSTIFY HIS
REMOVAL WAS
LACKING.
New York No? 0 ?In connection
with the answer of Mayor Van Wyck
to the charges against him, filed with
Go? Koose?elt regarding his alleged
improper connection with the Amer?
ican Ice company, the World today
prints a telegram purporting to have
been sent by B B O'Dell. chaitman
of tbe Republican State committee
and nominee of the Republican State
convention for governor, to Go?
Roosevelt as follows :
Sept 26,1900.
Tbeo Roosevelt, Governor of New
York, Cripple Creek. Colo.:
Wire Attorney General Davies to
be sure not to give out to the report
era tbe Vso Wyck answer at tbis
time. It must be held till after elec
tion is over This would imperil
our chances and get us into a useless
wrangle I have also wired Davies.
B B O'Dell
In the letter of Attorney General
Davies to Gov Roosevelt, dated Octo
ter 4th, communicating ibo answer
of Van Wyck, the attorney general
says :
' "The mayor by his answer admits
I that during his incumbency of the
< office he has been owner of shares of
! stock in the American Ice company.
I He also admits that during the period
in which he was the owner of such
stock the American Ice company had
: contracts with the city lor the sale of
! ice to various depattraents of the
! city ami lor the leasing of docks |
j belonging to the city In my opiu
ion the owner of stock in tin* oorpor
1 atiou is interested within lbs mean
! ing of that word as employed iu
section 1533 of the Greater New
York chatter in a contract between
tho corporation and the city. '
Further du in his letter to ilic gov
! or nor the attorney geoer 1 sa>* :
1 "in order to justify the mayor's
j removal, 1 do not believe ihat il is,
j uecessary to establish a esee against
him up >n which he couk\ be couviot |
ed ul orims under the provisions of I
section I5;i3 above referred to, but 1
I do believe there should be clear ami
j satisfactory evidence of his moral
I guilt
"It is of the utmost importance
! ihut no farther proceeding should be
i ikon in this matter unlem you are
sativfithat the ch ugee oa i be bus
i tained Tho mayor of the* greatest
city in America should hot be humili?
ated by being placed upon trial UDon
charges which are groundless off
which cannot be proven. Under all
these circumstances and in view of
the fact that the charge* are made
upon information and belief, and con
eideriog the great expense both to
that mayor and the state involved in
such a trial, I believe that before a
commissioner is appointed or any fur?
ther proceedings taken in this matter,
you should require the petitioners to
plsce in your possession the evideoce
which, standing slone and undis?
puted, would justify the removal of
the mayor

It has been said that the late Mr

poRsible, says London Truth, that
the contention is correct Why is it
that wit, which was ho highly esteem

century, has fallen into disrepute in
the nineteenth t That is a problem
which historians will bare to solve.
Ttiero iis an explanation, however,
that his hitherto escaped attention
"The write" as they were called,
never lired of turning the middle
class of the eighteenth century into
ridicule In almost every play nf
the period city men, merchants and
Iradoatnen are pitilessly astirised.
