Th?v had a nulling trade Saturday and Monday. The dry goods department had the best sales of any day so far. They did a great business last fall, but the prospects so far are that they will exceed last fall's business by far this fall. One of their departments sold as much Monday as the average store, and big ones at that, sold Altogether. All the clerks are hustlers, and know how to handle customers, no matter how large the crowd. One of the features of last Monday's trade was a large delega- t tion from Carlisle, almost a coach,fiUl.Xtt who came up and went to the Compai5y$$t Store to trade. They bought a quantity], of goods, and were well pleased and well t paid for the trip. { Manly? Counts. j i "At the residence of Chief and Mrs. W* j P.

Miss Kate Wiley, cousin ? of the bride, was maid of honor. Mr. Oi- j car West was best man. Miss Ruth Perrine played the wedding t march as the bridal party entred. a After the ceremony a reception was c given, about sixty-five guests being pres- < eut.

( It seems that the interest in the Clare- < rPrvllnrrn offjir rnrvirfod Ko flra 1UUUU aiiau, &V^V&V1A? i/j vuv Jonesville correspondent to The State, has not yet subsided. The college president was pretty severely censured for refusing to let the young ladies return, and holding their trunks until forced to deliver them by law. The teachers of the college come out in a reply in The Yorkville Enquirer. We hardly think the gentlemen, at Jonesville, who went after the trunks, would willfully misrepresent the facts. The teachers say: A MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD. "We, the undersigned, teachers of Claremont College, know the following statements from the Jonesville, S. C., correspondent of The State, of Sept. 24th, to be entirely false: 1st. 'After the young ladies arrived and spent one night at the college and looked around, they were dissatisfied and would not be matriculated and refused to enter.' These young ladies were dissatisfied before they came. One was heard to propose to the rest that they return. This was before they were within 40 miles of Hickory. Miss Littlejohn 1 frankly said she did not come to study and only came to have a good time. She 1 also said she would return any time she 1 wished. We understand that one of ' these girls attended Converse College, became dissatisfied with this institution 1 and returned in one week. The other 1 young lady attended Columbia, S. C., 1 female college and was not satisfied with 1 the college. These we understand are 1 considered good colleges. 2nd. 'The president demurred and refused to let them go*' Mr. Hatton dkV 1 not refuse at any time to let them le&ttr ( But said he would not give them his con- ] sent for them to go until he heard from ' their parents in reply to his letters. In ! inis, ne consulted wun toe iacuity huu acted upon their approval. Most parents, we think, would approve of this course. 3rd. 'One of them?Miss Littlejohn? managed to get away and returned,' The facts are she caused considerable ! merriment among the students by her ridiculous behaviour. ( Miss Hames even disapproved of her 1 leaving without Mr. Nation's consent, and promptly informed him whose only action in the matter was to send a servant to request her return, until she could hear further from home. Mr. Ilatton acted in this matter toward these girls as most parents would have expected him to do. We wish to further state that the main statements of said letters are false and misleading. Mr. Hatton acted with considerable forbearance iu this matter, and in a way that thoughtful parents expect of one in his position. [Signed] Ckcilk J. Bidez, Kkebk T. Warren, A.

Is There a Money Consideration in His Talk for the Trusts. S.un Jones boKlly stated in his lecture n Union that he was heartily in f.tvor >f trusts, and endeavored to show that hay were a blessing instead of a curse to he country, and drew several coinparirtns Piirmrjlirtna in <irwl -...t ..f I he trusts. The editor of the News and Courier takes him to task, aud shows as trong authority as Jone3 in denunciaion of the trusts. I The News and Courier says: 'Tn his speech in the Methodist 3burch in Union, last Saturday night, tie Irreverend Mr. Sam Joues surprised is audience somewhat by a defence of nouopolies. As reported, he said thai le "believe in trusts," compared the 'service of trains in aud out of the rusts, the prices of sugar before and ifter the trusts showing every thing in he trust's favor," and wouud up with ,he comprehensive declaration: "I like em." v It scarcely requires to be said that Mr. loues erred iffelassing railroads among ;rusts, of the order of those which are lie subject of current and proper denuunation, for the single sufficient reason, lot to mention many others, that the irices charged by these corporations for heir service?transportation of freiirhfc ind passengers? is legulated by the pe 'pie through the agency of the Government, vhile the monopolies under condemnation are superior to governmental control ind (ix their prices at their own arbitrary deasure. Nor was the speaker more 'ordinate in alluding to the Sugar Trust is a benelical institution as proved by the irices of sugar under its management. Every house-keeper in trie country mows that the concern has repeatedly 'aised the price of sugar for no other reaon than that of increasing its own profits egardless of the cost of the product, the atest instance being a raise of neai ly 50 >er cent, within the past few months, :Ie did not specify other concerns, so hat others need not be esjieeially conlidered, but his general declaration that le "likes 'em," likes'em all, serves to nake his attitude pretty plain. The reigious weeklies of the North, it appears, ire of the same mind with him, as it is ep^rted that they all favor the trusts' id ministration of the Government and idvocate their continuance in power. Mr. Jones and the religious weeklies of ,he other section do not, however, reprelent the sentiment of all the preachers >f the country, nor even all those of the ither section, as is proved by the very dain and earnest denunciation of the ivil concerns by the ltev. Dr. Ward Gamder, in a sermon delivered last Sunday in he Methodist Church, at Vineland, New Jersey, in which State most of them have oeen incorporated. Dr. Gamble, speaking in the very headquarters of the trusts, ieclared that the monstrous growth of ?uch combinations of capital "for the prevention of competition" is undermining the Republic, and he urged the voters of he county to "rise and smash |them before it is too late." By way of explain ing his position and justifying his advice, he said: "When four or five men get together ind place the price upon labor for prolucing the necessities of life, and then dictate the selling price of the finished productions, it is a most wicked conspiracy against the welfare of humanity, and ao punishment Is too severe for the scoundrels. "j say that hanging is too good for the trust magnate that stands on a mountain of coal in Pennsylvania that God meant for the benefit of all his children, pays itarving wages to the miners who risk their lives to go into the bowels of the jarth, and then dictates the price of coal, 10 that it robs all the people and couses untold suffering among the poor for the want of fuel. "I say, with a full realization of my utterance and with my blood running warm when I think of it, that hanging Is too good a punishment for such a man. "Witness the deplorable situation of applying like a fawning 'applicant to 3ne man in Wall street, as was done a few days ago, to stop a strike of such large proportions that it becomes of national importance. Yet such is the pressnt situation. If one man has the power over railroads and trusts to stop a strike of cuch magnitude, he has the power to bring on a strike of such gigantic proportions by robbing and starving the workmen. "I have been to the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania and investigated the conditions which brought on the 3trike, and when I say that the minirs are paid staving wages and treated more like dumb brutes than men, I know what I am talking about." The good and great George Washington, it will be remembered, was of Mr. Gambler's mind as to the proper punishment for the "scoundrels," as Mr Gamble calls them, and the "murderers, monopolizers and forestallers," "the greatest enemies to the happiness of America," a? Washington himself styled them, but hanging them is out of the present question aiUI need not be discussed. The point is that quite as good a preacher sis Mr. Jones, and a much more logical one, tlnds nothing in the conduct or the trusts to make him "like 'em." and much to lead him to denounce them as "wicked conspiracies against the welfare of humanity," oppressors and starvers of poor and humble workers, and robbers of all the people. And he gives convincing evidence in support of this view of them. Mr. Jones is a popular speaker, and as he speakes from the pulpit in defence of the conspiracies, it is as well, perhaps, that his arguments shoul d be answered from the same source.'' ? m TO THE DEAF.
