The Success of our Removal Sale Has far exceeded our expectations, and we feel very grateful to those who by their purchases, are reducing to a minimum our arduous undertaking. It is one of the few cases on record of mutual benefit, for while it lightens our burden in moving, it gives to our patrons such values as they had never been accustomed to before. Each day since the inaugura? tion of this sale, has brought us larger crowds than the preceding ones, the only explanation being that it is becoming thoroughly understood that we are doing exactly what we said we would, Sellins Everything at Cost. It mattters not whether you want Dress Goods, Trimmings, Domestics, Flannels, Blankets, Underwear, Hosiery, Shoes, Clothing, Hats or Groceries, the rule applies the same and our positive instructions to salesmen in the various depart? ments are Sell Everything at Actual Cost. Some of our departments are very much depleted, particularly our Dress Qoods, Cloaks and Clothing, but when you consider that on January 1st we had $30,000 worth of goods, it is reason? able to suppose there still remains a number of EXCELLENT VALUES. Do not defer your visit until it is too late, as you may find some one else has just bought what you wanted. With us it is a case of "First Come, First Served." While we axe very busy we are not unmindful of the fact that this is the season of the year when it suits Our Farming Friends To make their arrangements, purchase fertilizers, and prepare for another year's crop, and we want them to distinctly understand that we are never too busy to serve them, as it is upon them we largely expect to depend in the future, as they have been our mainstays in the past.

A Site for Naval Station. SECRETARY LONG WILL PROCEED TO BUY ONE AT ONCE Washington, January 12 ?Secre tary Long concurs io tbe recom mendatioo of the naval board sab mitted yesterday for tbe transfer of tbe South Atlantic naval station from Port Royal to Charleston. 8. C , and arrangements will now proceed for the purchase of tbe site at Charleston and tbe carrying oat of the transfer Already there ia available $227,000 for the general purposes of the station aad of this not to exceed $100,000' can be need io the purchase of the eite. The first formal step will be to direct Admiral Endicott, ohief of the bureau of yards and docks, to arrange for the site in accordance witb tbe recommendations. There is a question whether the purchase price of tbe aite selected can be brought within the $100,000. That portion within the Cha. leston park, called Chicora Park, car be bad at the government's price, bat the pri? vate land adjoining is held st $90, 000, and the naval board recommends a price which will aggregate about $34,000. In case this cannot be bought at a reasonable figure tbe government will resort to condemns tion proceedings The purpose is to acquire also certain marsh land, as well as a marsh frontage ou the op poeite side of tbe Cooper River, which will give the government the advantage of the approaches. This marsh land is owned by the State and probably will be given free of cost to the government As to tbe establish ment of tbe station there itself, there will be no steps until Admiral Endi? cott has made arrangements for securing the site Secretary Long will send the papers to congress although the action above indicated already is provided for aud does not need additional authority of congress Balance in the Treasury. The State un Jan 1st, this year, had $40,000 more cash on haod then it bad last year at rbo mm- time. This is ao exoellent showing. The ways and meaos committee hau not yet figured on what the 'ex levy will be, but the outlook is that thorn w ll bo no iocressc whatever, even if the $50.000 be appropriated to the Charleston czponition and tho South Carolina College secures the $11,000 so maob needed for its mees hall. Thos far there has boeo do robetaottel opposition developed to cither request. ?Columbia oor News and Courier. Two Floreuce Boys Missing.
