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.
