We are Distributors of Dry
Goods

on such a scale, as affords undoubted
advantages to consumers on the one
hand, and to the largest producers on
the other
1t is, of course, impossible for the
manufacturer and consumer to come into
contact and deal directly with one
another. In times gone bv, three sets
of merchants stood between the buyer
and the maker. First-the importer
or commission merchant who sold to
second the jobbsr or wholesale dealer,
who in turn, sold to third-the retail
merchant. This system of business
caused three profits to be placed on the
goods before they reached the con-
sumer. Now all this is changed. One
profit takes the place of three, and con-
sumer and maker come as nearly tOgeth
er as economic laws permit and meet at
our counters. This great mart, with its
system perfected by years Of experience,
trial and growth, is not only a necessity
and a convenience to the people, but is
undoubtedly mOney-saving organiza-
ton on an extensive scale. In no other
way can the vast and varied products
of the times De properly and econom-
ically distributed, except through such
an agency. The makers themselves,
each producing but one class of goods,
and without any organization for distri
button, would be utterly unable to dis
tribute their products, except at great
disadvantage, and at high prices to
buyers, while the latter, compelled to
go to a hundred sellers instead of one,
would be under even greater disadvan-
tage, both as to labor and in the pay
ment of the higher prices, A great re-
tail store then, is the out-grOwth of a
legitimate demand, a necessity of the
times, and a striking instance of the
economic power Of systematic Organiza-
ton. Under no other system would it
be possible to distribute the products OF
a thousand makers SO economically and
we'll to the millions waiting to receive
them; which millions securess said pro
ducts at price made inevitably moder-
ate by the competition Of the makers al
our counters; aud the cost of handling
the goods from producer to consumer i
scarcely appreciable to each buyer. SC
vast is the volume of business transacted
| by this great economical organization
But to attain the highest degree o
efficiently, and to secure the best result
to the public, tn organization must b,
on scale sufficient to command tn,
markets of the world in its lines OF busi
ness; to watch all markets and to bu
largely when prices are low enough; t
pay the cash promptly for the entir
product OF a mill, if necessary, whic
product will oe rapidly distriblte,
among thousands of buyers, each Sc
curing just the quantity desred-sAy on
yard or twenty--at the advantage OF
tanned by the great organization, plr
the one small profit which is sma
indeed to each individual buver.

. and varied field of Dry Goods, we nav
{ established and build up just such a
organization as is here described; an

Let anything in nature become

that decay of the lungs or kidneys
sets in. They say that the decay of
the lungs consumption and decay of
the kidneys (Bright's disease) is in

experimental doctors who have fail

life, there's hope! In checking de.

watterson On Booms.

Mr.. Henry Watterson in his speech
to the Southern Press Association at
Charleston the other day, made the
following remarks about "boons :"
Sand now, dear friends and broth
ers-in-arms-in those arms which
ought to embrace the good and great,
the noble and the gentle in our do
nestle, personal and constitutional
life, never to be turned, with mailed
hand and hostile spirit against either
society or truth-let me close with a
word especially to you. Go back to
your homes and your sanctums and
teach the people that in morals at
least old things are best, Standing
in the regal city-at once type of
the splendor and squalOr ofthe South
with the tints and the travail Of
antiquity upon its walls, yet its gar
dens and its hearts still turned, thank
God, upward to the sun, | set my foot
upon the cant of the New South,
about which we have heard so much.
Under this spurious label it is sought
to bring anCng us the delusive mo-
rality'o of the quack philanthropist and
the swindling methods of the bucket
shop. Whenever and wherever you
see boom hit it. Whenever and
wherever you see boomer spot
him. The boom is the DEVILS own
invention, first to rob the victim of
his money and then the boomer of
his soul. Cities are not built by
'booms;' countries are not advanced
by them. They are the merest artifi-
cial stimulants, compounded of bran
dy, printers ink and midnight, and
as fatal to the community to which
they are applied as dynamite shell.
True prosperity in the diffusion OF
wealth, cheap homes to the poor and
opportunities for all. If we must
have New South, let it be an hon

comings and the mistakes that were
ever ascribed to us-our arrogance,
ignorance and barbarism-we were
never accused of picking pocket OF
turning our back upon an enemy or 9
friend. Let us stand by all that was
good in the old South-all that was
upright in thought and brave in &C
tion-and with our past behind us
alike to warn us and to cheer, let u'
turn our face to the future, erect ir
the sight of heaven and earth, anC
saying to mankind: Applaud us i
we run, console us if we fail, but lie
us pass on-tor Gods sake-let u
pass on. "

"Tired All the Time.

Say many poor men and women,
who seem overwOrked, or are debili~
tated by change of season, climate or
life. Ifyou could read the hundreds
or letters praising Hoods Sarsaparilla
which come from people whom it
has restored to health, you would be
convinced of its merits. AS this is
impossible, why not try Hoods Sar'
saparilla yourself and thus realize its
benefit? 1t will tone and build W
your system, give you good appe'
tite, overcome that tired feeling anC
make you feel as one woman expires

Now the gadtly which pursued poor
10 seems to have stung us all, and we
fit about the globe restlessly, till it has
nearly come to pass that everybody who
has house has let it to somebody else,
and the last place to expect to find man
is at home. A general game of puss.in-the.
corner amuses the best society of Eu-
rope and America all the summer and
much OF the winter. The humblest
village school child expects two or three
annual excursions, every servant and
shop hand slipulates for holidays long
enough to pay distant visits; in short,
our lives are becoming much like those
of festive gnats at play of warm even
Ing. Sometimes we pause to suck a
flower or to bite some body, but we soon
return to the perpetual lecomotion
which seems to possess unfailing charm.
