SEVEJTTYLFIVE CBUTTS That is exactly what we are giving in merchandise to our customers during this One Quarter Off Sale. If you will but stop to consider that our goods at regular prices are always as low as any in price, and in many instances sold for less than their real value, you will readily perceive that this twenty-five cents rebate on every dollar's worth of goods, means more to you than a casual glance might indicate. If we were offeriog you old goods or cloth? ing hastily put together for bargain sale purposes, then such a reduction as we offer would mean nothing to the economical buyer. But when you can purchase high grade standard goods at an ac? tual saving of one-fourth, then you are really getting ONE DOL? LAR FOR SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. EXAMPLE. \ Our entire line of Under-Shitts and Draw- i ? r mm** 4 ers that used to sell lor $1 per garment and are fully worth it, can now be pur? chased for 75c per garment. All of our goods arc marked in plain figures. You'can examine the goods advertised, select what you want, deduct 25c from each dollar, pay us the re mainder and the goods are yours.

The Oejfwl board has reported in favor of transferring the naval station from Port Hoya! to Charleston and submits an estimate of $1 ?000,000 to begin work on the new station Charleston baa deep water on the bar now and tho channel is deepening so rapidly tbst it is but a question of time when tho largest shipe that float can enter tbe berbor and have plonty of water to spsro under their keels The trans? fer ie believed to bo necesssry and will result to tbo best interests of the navy Tbero can bo no question but tbet the trenefcr will benefit Charles too end tho oaval station will bo u oooeteot soorco of incomo to the bosioeoe interests of the city. Port Royal may possoss tbe finest harbor oo tho South Atlantio coast, bot it also has tbe biggest run of hard luck of any place in the coun? try. Aa a town it seems doomed to failure The future may have great things in store for Port Royal, but the present outlook is discouraging in the extreme?tbe railroads appear to be against the place, the phos pbate industry has .declined and now the govemraout finds it oeoecsary to abandon tbe naval station after ex ft pending millions cn it. The news that came flora Charles ton last Friday that a syndicate of northern capitalists has purchased four thoueaud acres of laud near that city for tbe purpose of establishing an extensive tea farm is good news for tbe entire low country of this State. If this tea (arm proves a financial success many siraila farmer will be established and lands will increase in value. Tea can be grown in all the middle and lower counties of the State, and. perhaps, in the oourse of time many of tbe cotton fields of Surater county will be converted into tea farms. Fur years tea plants have been grown aa ornamental shrubs in the gardens of this city and they have survived, uninjured, the severest blizzards aod tbe most protracted droughts on record. No experiments have been made in tea culture in this State, except .it Summerville, where Dr Shephe.d has made a complete success, and it may be shown in time that this section of tbe State is better sdapted to tea culture than tbe coast region. At any rate we should bo glad to see an experimental tea farm established in this county by the United States Department of Agriculture. The committee oo Firo Department or tho City Counoil itself should take some aonon to limit tbe speed of the hose wegon* when going to fires.

MoSwoeoef'e message which was read in the ueoatc oo tbe 8;b, is s longtby paper, and as a review of rbe affairs of tbe Stele, from ihe executive'* point of view is well worth reading The recommendations that sre made arc ooitber radical nor extravagant and the mc68sge has oot a sioglc suggestion io it that i* oaloolsted to antagonize any interest or create opposition Io the introductory romarke reference is mat. la tbe material progress that e Stato bao made tho peat yoor in all lines but particularly io tho growth and develop? ment of the manufacturing enterprise* It is Pta'ed that taxable values have ioore*8. 1 $4,245,695 during the past yesr, ut tbe inoroase ia not near as largo a' it should be or would he if our system vi assessment aod taxation were bo revised aod amended as to have plaoed on the tax books all tbe proper? ty of the Srate now eocapiog taxation and if that which is assessed wsre equitably assessed." The financial eoodition of the State is quite satisfactory aod the ootlook is qualifying. Io reference to educational matters it is reoommeoded thnt tbo public school system be improved, the term lengthen? ed, more competent taaohera employed, and the gap between tbe common aohools aod tbe oollsgea be bridged. The question of child labor io factor? ies is discussed, but oo positive reoommendation is made, and the members of the legialaturo alt left to work out the problom unhampered by tbo executive's diotation. As to tsxstioo tbe messsge bays : "That taxation does oot hear evenly upon all property is patent ta every thoughtful person. If you can io yoor wisdom devise any plan by which the assessment of property for tsxstioo can bo more equitably taado aod all tbo pro perry of tbe stato cao bo plaoed ou the tax books ycu will have contributed inuob to lesson tbo burden on that class of property which in ita naluru cannot osoapo taxation. ''In some of tbe States tsx inquisitors sra provided to discover property that is omitted from tbo tax st. There is oo doubt that a great deal of proporty csoapos taxation whioh should boon tbo '"ofes and made to bear its portion of tho burden, aud eomo plan should be devised by whioh this property oan be reaohed. Missouri has adopted a lsw whioh provided for ihe taxation of mort? gages, aod the man who owns the pro? perty has it assessed at the value of the properly, loss tho valuo of tbo mort? gage, and the owner of tho mortgage i* required to pay tax upon tbo value tf hin mortgage "Some such provision io our laws would be just aod equitable, for it ia oot right for the owner of the proper y to pay taxes upon tbo full valuo wbon in reality his ownership is only tho valuo of tho property less tho value of tho tuortgago. It would not bo right to tax tbo property at its full valuo ami then tax (be mortgage, for that would be puyii>g taxes upon the same property ; twioe M The need of relief for the consented ! condition of (he onorts in ecmo of the oouctics is couioiented on aod the t-uggeatioos made that one or two new ; judicial circuits be created, as this would not materially increase tho cost and would add very much to the speedy i adjudication of causes brought for trial. A geological ourvey of the State ia recommended and the raasoua for the recommendation aro sound and bosinese like The appropriation ef $50,000 for the Sooth Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposition ia heartily > recommended. A ohango in the iaw governing the investmont of the linking fund ia sug? gested to the cod tbat the security of tho loans may be increased aod a grea'er portion c( tho fund be kept to vested. The report of tbs State Board of Health is favorably oommented on and a liberel provision for tho support of tho body aod the extension ef the im? portant work it is called upon to do is recommended. The messsgo ss a whole is business like, eonsertative and praotieal rather I than politioal. It ia a message that aao be read with profit, for it ia nou parti- | sen and deals more with faots than with politioal politics.

At Last the Two Signatures Have Been Affixed Pekio, Sunday. Jan 13 ?The joint note of the powers has been finally signed by the Chinese peace commissioners Prince Cbing signed yesterday and LI Hnng Chang, who is better, signed it today It is understood that the malady from which Li Hung Chang is suffer* ing is Bright's disease He was feel? ing worse yesterday and therefore postponed the affixing of ins signa ture ; but Prince Ching was hopeful that he would be able to sign today, which proved to be the ca6e Prince Ching has protested to the court against the appointment, said to be contemplated, of Viceroy Chang Chih Tung as a plenipotentiary in the place of Li Hung Chang He thinks the letter's advice absolutely essential although he believes it might be advisable to appoint a third plenipotentiary for China, and reite? rates his desire for the appointment of Sheng, who would be acceptable to the foreignera So far as Chang Chih Tung is con? cerned, the envoys who know him personally say that, while he is strongly antt foreign and has never made any secret of bis likes and dis? likes, they believe be would be a satisfactory representative of the Chinese ; and there would not be any objections to him on the score of bis recent utterances Indeed, some of the ministers think it would be wise for China to make Chang Chih Tung a plenipotentiary Most of the envoys have received word from their governments that the negotiations must be conducted in Pekio, on the ground that for var? ious reasons other places suggested would be ojectionable The Russians say they will for? mally turn over the railroad to the Germans immediately.
