Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
~cheapness IN merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
o cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes. u

Cotton's Dangerous Rival.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Botanist
Porte of the Department of Agriculture
is of opinion that process has bean
discovered by which the rance plant
can be made into cloth at such moderate
cost that it will soon become q dangerous
rival TO cotton.
"About month ago." said Mr.. Porte,
in conversation on this subject, "informa.
tion reached this department that Thom-
as Mabbest, Providence manufactures,
had succeeded in doing with rance what
hundreds might say thousands-ot
others have tried and failed to do-that
is, he had at small cost woven rance

he had thus succeeded in weaving, had
been prepared by a process discovered
by Mr. Charles Topham, chemist of
Salem, Mass. Mr.. Topham, by secret
formula, had turned the fibre into q
substance resembling floss. This floss
he sent to Mr.. Mabbett at Providence
for weaving. Mr.. Topham, it seems, had
been experimenting with rance for years,
like great many other men, and only
succeeded after innumerable failures.

Bad Either Way.

When the western farmers crop fails,
he has nothing to sell.
When he has good crop, he gets
nothing for it.
The result is the same in either case.
Now, what every farmer wants is money,
or something that will readily command
money.
Over production may occur in agricul-
tural as we'll as in manufacturing regions.
4 di7ersi6cation of industries is needed,
80 that there will be large class of con.
sumers to balance off the large number
of producers.
Naturally, the consumers of the food
crops are massed in towns and cities
where they are at work manufacturing
various articles of necessity and luxury.
These centers of population are 30 many
| markets for the farmer.
The situation IF the northwest is unta.
vorable in more ways than one. The best
thing the people there can do is to pull
up and move southwark. Our monopoly
of the cotton crop will always bring the
southern farmer all the ready cash he
needs. Theu, the manufacturing progress
of this region is rapidly building up home
markets for our food crops.
The northwest should be given up to
the hardy immigrants from northern
Europe, who are focking there, and the
native Americans should move southwark.
When people find that they are all the
'ime going from bad to worse in coun.
;iy where all the forces of nature and the
laws of trade are against them they should
try their fortune in more favored cll-
mate,-AtIanta Constitution.

A Horses Memory.

A writer in the Boston Post says: II

ly fictitious necessities had arisen which
takes me TO astable-on this occasion to
a large establishment id the viuinity of
Carbon street. 1t WAS about five o'clock
in the afternoon and various people were
starting for,home, among them man and
woman who had a remarkably intelligent
looking gray horse. just as be began to
trot down the lane by which the stable is
reached from the street, stout party who,
I noticed, had been watching the gray
very inten.ly, suddenly cried ci,t;r loud
voice, Dan, don't you want piece of
cake?' The horse stopped short, pricked
up his esrs, looked around and uttered q
faint whinny of recognition and assent;
nor would he go until the stout man had
come forward aud explained his interfer.
ence. Itappeared that several years before
he had Brought the horse from Vermont,
where he had owned him for some time,
and as the best vas particularly docile he
had taught him the true sense Of she
question, the sudden asking of which
brought him to standstill. It is we'll
known that horses never forget person or

a Good Yield Of Corn.


Piekens T. sousherlin, of Middle sa.>
luda, Greenyille County, was one Of the
farmers who started to compete for the
combined prize of ST 900, offered by the
American Agriculturist and the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture of South Carolina.
Although he failed, yet the yield vas one
not 10 be despised, which was ninety.one
bushels. He occupied Iauds of Capt. L.
I. Jennings. The following is descrip-
tion Of his mode of culture:
Broke up the land for the contest acre
about the first of April with one.horse
twister; narrowed the land on the 22ud
of April with a two. horse harrow
planted the seed on the 23rd of April.
Before planting applied two loads of cot.
ton seed bulls, raked up manure, putting
it in the hills. As soon as the corn was
up, run around and hoed it. On the 9th
day Of June run aror:,d the corn with q
small long plow, aud applied two hun.
dred pounds of fertilizer, putting it in
the FIRST fufrow, and also plb*sd ous the
middles deep. On the l2!h of June ap-
piled two two-horse loads of stable ma-
nure broadcast and narrowed in, on the
2Sth of June applied one two-horse load
of compost, made of stable manure aud
cotton seed bulls, putting it on the hills,
and hoed over the 9th of July. Gathered
the crop on the 4th of November aud it
measured ninety one bushels. Myself
and two witnesses measured it.
A storm Of wind and rain, occurring
about the first of September, blew down
about one fifth of the stalks, after, which
the contest was abandoned. Capt. Jeu-
.niDgs thinks that had not this mishap
occurred the yield would have been at
least 15O bushels. Gfeenvile Mountain

Fairfield Strikes a Good Scheme.

The exodus of negroes from the county
suggests the idea that some steps should
be taken ta1seeure people to take their
places, and several gentlemen are consid.
ering the advisability of making an effort
in that direction. There are thousands
of broad acres of land in old Fairfield
which are waiting for somebody to come
and till them, and in many instances the
proprietors are anxious to dispose of them.
If thrifty get of immigrants
can be induced to come here
and occupy these spare places, values will
gradually be raised, and the good times so
devoutly wished for will begin to dawn
upon us. We hope the plan will be con:
summated, and also that the farmers and
landowners will see the great good they
will inevitably reap if the effort succeeds.
Those who have more land than they need
should cooperate in every way to help
on the enterprise. = Winsboro Neaos and

An Oconee Mans Big Invention.

SENECA, S. G., Feb. 15.-In no direc.
ton is progress more apparent in the
South than: in invention. Up to the
war the North had almost monopoly
in this line, and this not because of any
greater natural tact for such things, but
rather because the necessities of their
general surroundings compelled them to
turn their attention in this direction.
That Necessity is the mother Of inven-
ton" has been illustrated times without
number and in no case more beautifully
and pathetically than during "our late
unpleasantness" when our mothers and
sisters resorted to arts hitherto undream-
ed of to enable their husbands, brothers
and SONS to carry&on against such odds
the grandest struggle of history. The
inventive spark then kindled in the re-
tirement of home has not been allowed
to languish and 60 out, but has been
assiduously famed into flame until
now the South claims large share Of
the patents issued at Washington. This
proportion will go on increasing as the
necessities and opportunities of the times
suggest.
Oconee can boast Of an inventor, and
though his invention may never attract
the notice or receive the praise of scien-
lists, in the humble homes of the land it
will be priced as lightener of woman's
labors. The invention is churn, which
must be seen to be understood and appre.
ciated.
The churn is swuog on two upright
posts, and the body is so constructed that
when given amount of milk is poured
in similar weight is added to the end
of pendulum which brings the churn to
balance, When that is done small
lchild can operate it with ease. All of
the scientific men Of both England and
America say tits the most perfect inyen-
tion Of the age. The butter is never
touched from the tine the milk is poured
in until it is put on the table for use. It
docs away wish all working of butter.
The churn salts and works the butter,
and the butter zalways comes in pure,
granular form.
S The chnrn hes been thoroughly tested
and has given satisfaction in every case.
The inventor is! Samuel b. Cherry, of
this place, a civil engineer by profession.
he has been experimenting at odd times
ON his machine and now has it brought
to such astate of perfection that compe.
tent judges pronounce it the most com.
plete churn extant. He is having them
manufactured largely in Nashville,
Tenn, and Atlanta, Ga; and they find
ready sale throughout the South. he
has already made large sales in Georgia,
and has an offer for the right to control
the sales of the chnrn in the State of
Texas. One day last week he got cash
order for 100 churns from La Porte, Ind,
and next day for $50 from Texas-the
largest churn sales!on record. Ws-wish
MIR. Cherry much siiccess and trust others
will be stimulated and encouraged to like
zeal in the broad and promising field of
invention GreenviHe Ne,os.

and ins so doing he is making enemies

The best Republican element in the

deep indignation Is felt. While attacking

does not;come, as did Oleveland's, from
