CUPID AT HIS OLO PRANKS.
Young South Carolinian Wins a Fair
Daughter of California.
A very pretty romance, culminating
in a most romantic marriage, has just
been announced-one, perhaps, of
several growing out of the meeting cf
the Daughters of the Confederacy in
Charleston ten days since.
Among the charming young ladies
who attended the Convention of the
Daughters was one of California's
sweetest and most graceful flowers,
Miss Maybelle Clary, who was chape?
roned by Mrs. Stephens, of Stockton,
and Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voorhies, of
San Francisco, president of the locaj
chapter of U. D. C. 's. At the St.
John Hotel, ^here this party resided
while here, Miss Clary met a young
Carolina .gentleman, Mr. Charlton
Shannon Barrett, who is connected
with the management of the hotel.
They were almost constantly together,
driving, walking, at receptions or at
the hotel,* where their friends noticed
their devotion. The resnlt was a quiet
wedding at the residence of the Ke-v.
John Kershaw, D. D., which was
witnessed only by the rector's J family,
to all of whom the groom has been
well known from early childhood, Mr.
Barrett being a native of Sumter
county, .where Dr. Kershaw resided
for many years before his call to St.
Michael's Church, in this city.
A few hours after the marriage Mrs.
Barrett left for Wilmington, N. CL,
protesting that she must keep her
engagement to visit her friend, Miss
Meara From that point she was to
have gone to New York, then to
Montgomery, Ala., with Mrs. Ran?
dolph, spending the winter in the
East, but all of these carefully prepar?
ed plans have fallen through. Mr.
Barrett joined his young- "bride in.
Wilmington* yesterday and has taken
her to his mother's home, near
Bishopvi??e, S. C., were they will re?
main a short while before taking their
Southern tour, or returning to Carles
ton.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. W.
H. Clary, of Stockton, California, a
well-known mine operator, who emi?
grated to the Pacific slope many years
ago from Kentucky, and who still
warmly clings to his Southern tradi?
tions and memories.-News and Cour?
ier, Nov. 22.
DEATH,
Mrs. Carrie Moses, wife of Mr.
Mont Moses of Creede, Col, died
yesterday afternoon, after only a few
weeks illness, in the forty-ninth year
of her age.
Mrs. Moses was the youngest living
daughter of Mrs. ?, H. Moses, of this
city, and until her marriage a few years
ago made her home here with her
mother. She was a woman of unusual
intellectuality and culture and possess?
ed a charming personality that made
her a general favorite with all who
were privileged to know ber well. Her
death is the cause of deep grief to her
many friends here and to a large
family connection, all of whom can,
from their own sorrow, sympathize with
her aged mother in this sore bereave?
ment. '
Schwartz Bros. are setting a swift
pace in the dry goods line and the
shoppers are crowding their store in
response to their announcements. For
the latest, see the advertisement to?

The city has an issue of bonds
amounting to $8,000 which becomes
due on January 1st. These bonds
nrast either be paid or refunded on
January 1st. Thus far no arrange?
ments have been made to either pay
them or to issue new bonds. It is
true that an act was passed at the last
session of the General Assembly per?
mitting the refunding of the bonds,
but if the Council sees fit and can
raise the money to pay them it can do
so. If it is possible to pay the bonds
on January 1st it will be good policy
to do so,, for on as small an issue as
this it is difficult to secure* as low a
rate of interest as should be obtained,
and with the income the city, now en?
joys there is no reason why the bonds
should not be retired. The payment
of the bonds would of course necessi?
tate the curtailment of expenditures
and the practice of a degree of econo?
my that has not marked the manage?
ment of city finances in recent years.

HARD AND 5TUB=
BORN THOUGH
THEY BE !
Every pair of Tar Heel Blankets bought by us was delivered
and received by us. When .eceived we found 15 pairs of
these goods not up to the standard, and so reported, expressing
one pair back. Our statement was confirmed and we were
asked to keep them at 25c per pair rebate, or return to the
mill for exchange. The latter we did. We could - have kept
them, however, had we been willing to deceive our customers
and make this rebate of 25c per pair. Or again, could we not
have kept them to compare with "our Dixie" they being
branded Tar Heel, to the detriment of the latter ?
These blakets were shtpf>ed to us direct from the mill They
were bought by us from the Mill's Direct Selling
Agent. We were advised in a letter from the mill on Feb.
16th, last, that they had decided in future, not to sell any re?
tail dealers We accepted this statement as final and bought
from their direct-selling agent It is clear to us now, and we
can understand the mill's action. Of course they had no in?
formation or understanding that we were wholesale merchants,
and could not violate their obligation. We sell at retail. Tar
Heel Blankets or Our Dixie, as you like, are here for you, and
w7e promise will be so long as they are made.
The only way we can be prevented from using the name
"Tar Heel" is for this name to be registered in future, and in
event of this being done, the public will understand its pur?
pose. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet,
however, and whether under name Tar Heel or any other
name-we will have for you the exact same blanket from the
same mill, and defy^any one at any time to contradict it.
For what purpose were blankets ordered last season ticketed
"Dixie," and advertised for sale by the only "originators" of
the Tar Heel brand ? As we understood it, this was to be our
ticket alone in Sumter on any blankets coming direct from
this mill. Of one thing we are quite sure (and would like to
see same contradicted) that the Tar Heels offered by us are
genuine, and not a cheaper grade so ticketed.
Compare the prices now, though they cost more, with what
youJiad to pay last season, the season before, or any season
since you can remember, ls there no reason for this ? Yes,
the place to buy them from is the place that has brought the
price down-and will keep it down. That place is Schwartz
Bros.
By request of the mill, we have decided in future to handle
their goods under our own ticket, which we will get up for
them-after this season.
The following letters are only printed to show the correct?
ness of every statement we make :

Messrs. Schwartz Bros., Sumter, S. C.
Gentlemen: Replying to your kind fa?
vor of a few days since, we have very
much appreciated the business you have
given us and are glad to Rel! you goods,
but the wholesale people with whom we
deal are clamoring so vociferously that we
have been forced to promise them that we
would quit selling any retail trad?. We
have not sold more than half a dozen re?
tail houses for the past several 3 ears, but
the jobbers\seem to have a way of finding
it out if we sell any at all, and they are
combining against us. We hope you will
understand the situation, and that it will
be your pleasure to buy our goods from
some one of the many jobbers to whom we
sell. If you will write to The Gilmer
Bros. Co., Winston, N. C., we think you
can get the goods at oar prices. We do
our best to regulate the prices and to see
that the jobbers all get a profit, but we
understand that Gilmer occasionally sells
at cost in order to make a new customer,
j Our blankets are handled by all Baltimore
jobbers, the largest trade in Philadelphia,
Boston and New Yotk, except Clafiin.
Hoping yon will understand our posi?
tion and continue to handle our goods, we
are, Yours truly, Chatham Mfg. Co.
et, which, so far as goods of our manufac?
ture are concerned, is their ticket. We do
not remember to have put a Tar Heel
ticket on our goods for anyone else, and
the matter evidently escaped your aften
tention at the time j ou ordered the blank?
ets under their ticket, for we presume you
would have as soon had them under any
other ticket ; and while we stated nothing
but facts, we did not expect them used for
publication. Certainly we have no right
to have any but the very kindest regard
for you. Our relations have been pleasant
and you have done us no greater injury
thau become and remain a good customer.
We have been forced by the large jobbers
we sell to quit selling the retail trade and
our information and understanding was
that Messrs. O'Donnell & Co. are whole?
sale merchants. Yon may expect to hear
from us in a very few days.
With kind regards, we are, Yours truly,

have had this brand registered, and

we place upon them our different num

different name?
