;?t 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.
Thisiwe hare 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 ouriosity, 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 llooi. All this we hope will be reme?
died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected.

Elliott's Seat Contested.
Columbia, Nov. 15 ?Tbe electioo
returns are beiog daily brooght ioto
tbe Secretary of State's office Tbere
bss been only one contest snnounced
so far aod tbat is in tbe case of
Beckett, who ran as a Republican
candidate against Col William Elliott
Beckett filed bia protest witb tbe
ooooty board of canvassers, who de
oided against bio The decision of
tbe county board shows not only tbe
formal protest, but siso tbe deoisioo
of the board. Tbe protest said io
terns:
"That tbe said ballots which were
osst and returned for Wm Elliott at
said election were not legal ballots
under the laws of the State of iwoutb
Carolina
"Because esid ballots were not of
the proper color, and did not show
? to what office the said Willism Elliott
was iotended to be chosen "
The board of oanvasaers for Charles
too, after considering tbe matter, reo
dered the following decision, which
is on file in the secretary of stale's
offion
"Now, the board of canvassers of
federal elections for Charleston Conn
ty find thst the ballot cast for Willism
Elliott for representative in coogiess
from the 1st district of South Carolina
were "two and one half inches wide
by five inobes long, clear snd even
cut, without ornament, designation,
mulilstion, symbol or mark of any
kind whatever," except the name of
William Elliott, representative in
congress, 1st district, for which office
he was a candidate, and tbat the
ballot was properly printed, and
according to the laws governing
elections in the State.
"Therefore, we find that the ballots
cast for Wm Elliott on tbe 6th of
November, 1900, were entirely legsl
I according to Act of 1H96, of said
, State, and we 6o decide.

McKinley Against
Reducing Representation.
SEVERAL VERY POTSNT
REASONS FOR HOLD?
ING HANDS OFF
Washington, Nov. 16?Tbe opin?
ion is growing among public men
who are in tbe confidence of tbe
preaident tbat be will oppose any
movement looktog to a reduction of
congressional representation of tbe
Southern States on account of charges
of tbe disfraoebisement of colored
voters
Tbe president is said to be opposed
to reviviugill feeling, which he thinks
would be the result of a bill thus
toothing the sooth's suffrage. He
baa been told from many sources re?
cently tbat ao important element of
southern business men, manufactur
era and others, ia at heart with tbe
Republicans asd tbat the nucleus of
a future revolution against eiisiting
political methods in the sooth has
been securely established ao4 should
not be dissipated by legislation tbat
would be regarded by the south ?8
sectional
On account of the president's atti
tude there ia a growing opinion that
legislation looking to t!?e reduction
of the southern representation will
not be pressed by party leaders in
congress. In this connection it is
suggested tbat any action taken with
reference to the suffrage of the south
in advance of the adoption of a de
finite policy in the Philippines might
throw some embarrassment in tbe
way of the proper disposition of the
citizenship rights ot the Filipinos,
and, moreover, it is felt tbat the
government has as much as it can
deal with uow without getting into a
contention over domestic affairs.
