O'DONNELL & CO. We owe an apology to our patron* tor being so late in making our MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA; Fall Announcement ffAAAAA* Wjjiumjjs. BuTtEe gentlemaii 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 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 gotten 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 BETTER VALUES THAN OUR COMPETITORS. It taV , 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 eve 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. died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected. r carried, and had we space to All this we hope will be reme Hats. We eetebliaoed a reputation io Ibra line aome yeara ago, that we have been oooataotly adding to We sup? ply n good many dealers, who moat aave nooey by baying from ue, or they woold not do so. Outside of our regular lioe we bought 100 Dozen Pros a oommiaaion house at about 60 centa on the dollar. Wt have Men's and Boy ? for Haan at 25 and 60 cents, and the Man s Bit we tell at T?n would appear cheap, If bought elaewbere for $1 25 Clothing. This baa always been a strong line witb ua, and we oan assure those i who have favored us witb their pa trooage io thia department formerly, that we have never had a better line to select from. Men's all wool Cheviots, $5, $7 50 and $10. Men's Fancy Worsteda, $5, $7 50, $10 and $12 Men'a all wool Cassimers, $5, $6, $7 50, $10 and $12 50 Men n Glay Worsteds, in black and colors, $5, $6, $7 50. $10, $12 & $15 BOYS' CLOTHING. 760 pairs Boy's Knee Pacta, worth 35c, 40c and 50c at 25c per pair. We bought the remnant of a man? ufacturer's stock, the 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. Here will be found as complete a line of Staple and Domestic Goo'de as the needs of any housekeeper de mand Our DOMESTICS were bought on a basis of 7 cents cotton, and while we did not think at the time that cotton was going to 10 cents we in? vested in 60.000 Yards We have 100 pieces of Outings *t 5, 6} and 8Jc?as cheap as they were ever sold [ 50 pieces of Flannelettes at 8J-o? this is a very desirable fabric for Waists and Wrappers, and is easily worth 10 to \2lc. 50 Pairs Tar Heel Blankets. These are not in stock, but will be by the time this reaches you, as tbey are on the way. You know what tbey are, and no advance io price We have a complete line of cheap Blanket? from 75c to $1.50. A line of Comforts from 75c to $2 Our stock of Sheeting, Pillow cas icg, Table Damask, Doylies and Napkins is complete and prices right Shoes. If there is any one line in our bouse better than another we believe this is it All our Shoes are bought direct from manufacturers, and in ?ucb quantities, as to warrant us in getting Jobbers' prices, thereby sav ihg the middle man'u profit, and giv? ing the benefit of it to our customers If anything tvas needed to strengthen this department, we have certainly 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 Sumter County, as we handled tbem witb a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction up to a few years ago, but for 6ome reason, tbey withdrew from this territory, and we feel assured their old patrons will be pleased to welcome tbem back. Reynolds', Bay State, E. P. Reed & Co. and Godmaii are Hard to Beat. In addition to these we carry a complete line of Men and Women's staple Shoes Shirt s. We hesitate to say bow 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 than 250 Dozen Just think of it! 3,0C0 SHIETS. You would naturally eay, 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 unlees you buy quantities. ODONNELL & CO.

Disagreement in Pekin. IF MINISTERS CANNOT AGREE, WHAT WILL BE DONE ? Washington, Nov 22 ?The stste deportment so far has heard nothing fioro Mr Conger respecting the "im? passe" reported to have been reach* ed by tbe foreign ministers yesterday at Pekin In fact, save a brief expression respecting the insufficien cy of the punishments proposed by tbe Chinese government to be inflict? ed upon the responsible leaders of the Boxer movement, Mr Cojger has not communicated with the depart ment for more than a week. Without taking issue with Mr Con ger lespecting this matter of punish merits, tbe state department has ear nestly advised him not to insist upon impossible conditions in tbe negotia tlont An interesting problem is suggest ed by the possibility, which today is slmost a probability, that the raiuis tera representing the powers at Pekin cannot reach an agreement If Russia, France and the United State should refuse to accept the German idea, as seconded by tbe British representative very much would depend upon Japan, and even some of the lesser powers represent ed at Pekin by ministers might have great power in swaying the proceed? ings of the council The impression seems to be tbst if a majority of tbe ministers, or perhaps even one of the repreaentetives of a great power, withholds assent to the agreement, then the whole undertaking falls, aud there must be either fresh negotia tions directly between the govern ments in the effort to sgree upon a new basis of action, or the powers must proceed to deal with the Chi? nese situation singly, or in groups, the latter contingency having been provided for in the German British sgreement - ??<mmm?*- i?i - Birmingham, Ala , N<?v 21 ?A string of empty train cars broke loose and ran away in the Sloes ore mines of tbe Sloes Sheffield Steel and Iron company, near Bessemer, this morn ing Nape Thompson, the superin tend* lit, waa inn over and instantly killed.
