We know that many read
ers of the Advertiser distrust
the advertisement which an
nounces goods at cost; and
such distrust is a wise skepti-
cism on the part of the public,
for no merchant can sell goods
at cost and meet his own bills,
when presented for payment.
And yet we are going to offer
our stock of Shoes-one thou
and dollars worth-at actual
cost, less the freight. These
Shoes are of all grades and
sizes for ladies', gents, and
children. We also offer all
our Notions, Dry Goods, and
Crockery at cost, less the
freight. Our reasons for SELL
ing at cost are, first, we can
as well afford to sell at cost as
to keep them at cost; and
secondly, we propose in the
future to do only a grocery
business, and must dispose of
everything I'VE keep, except
groceries, IN order to get the
store room.
These two reasons ought to
satisfy the most skeptical that
we mean business. If parties
wish it we will show our bills.

Section Of an act of the Legisla-
ture, approved Dec. %, 1891, reads as
follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representative of the State
of South Carolina, now metand sitting
in General Assembly, and by the au-
thority of the same, That the trustees
of the several school districts in the

their respective districts, and said Au-
ditor shall enter the same upon the tax
duplicate to be furnished the County
Treasurer. That said names so fur
nished shall be published annually:in
a newspaper published at the county
seat once week for three consecutive
weeks, and where there is no paper
published at the county seat, then in
some other paper having general cir
culation in the county.
Under and by virtue of the authority
conferred by said section I
call upon School Trustees of all the
school districts in Edgetield county to
make to me at once full and complete
list of persons in their respective dis
tricts who are liable to poll tax.

The increase in income to the
State last year under Tillman
from the fertilizer. tax, Secretary
of States Office, Sinking Fund Com
mission, and Insurance License,
four minor departments of the
government, aggregate $2e,43S.S5,
and the decrease in the expense Of
running the government was, for
the same year, s35,428.1S, showing
a balance in favor of the Tillman
administration of $61, ,S67.03. Can
a reasonable man ask for more
evidence in favor of Tillman than
this? ~

A Card.

Mr.. EDITOR: Many friends from
different clubs in Edgefeld, county
have solicited me to stand fol
nomination for legislative honors
and others express surprise be-
cause my name has not been an
nounced as candidate.
Permit me to say that I have mo-
lost interest in the affairs of the
county and State, and | shall evel
be grateful for past honors con.
ferred. At the same time l stard
where I stood, politically, in 1885,
when I first appeared before the
people of Edgefeld, and when
they gave me such a fattering
vote. / stand for a horizontal re-
duction of salaries and an aboli-
tion of useless Offices.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for
past kindness.
l am respectfully,

A MASTER SPEECH.

The speech of Mr.. Mayfeld,
State Superintendent of Educa-
tion, is the ablest defence of the
Tillman administration yet pub
lished, and is absolutely unan-
swerable. 1t is SO strong a presen-
tation of the actings and doings
of the Tillman administration
that the anti papers are scared to
death, and will not publish it or
any part of it. We defy any shep-
pardite in the county or State to
read it and answer it if he can,
and the columns of the ADvER-
T1sER are offered for that purpose.
We are able to publish only q por-
tion of this masterly argument, in
in this issue, but will conclude
the paper next week.

RATS!

Gov. Richardson has not yet
found the elusive vouchers for that
$1,000. The Governors dilemma
in this matter reminds, US of the
following Edgefeld history: Some
years ago the colored parson of one
of our churches was entrusted
with three hundred dollars in
green-backs, the same having been
collected to build a a7church. Well,
when the brethren and sisters got
ready to build their church they
called on Brother.---------- 300 for, the
three hundred dollars. Hesearched
high and low, but nary green-back
did he find, and after due and
prayerful c9nssd Grafton reported
to the church sha 'he hadwrapped
that money up kearful, tied it with
a cotton string. and put it in the
bottom of his chist, but when he
went to look for It it wasn't dar."
The church heard this statement,
but desired to know Of the brother
whom he suspicioned. .
sWho / 'spiciou? Well, to tell
you the Gawd's truth, brethren, ]
'spicions rats. Rats eat dem green
backs up"
Now, if Gov. Richardson will
cay that he "spicions" rats of eat
ing up his vouchers the whole
State will respond "rats."

failed to relieve him. Dr.. 6toddart exam
ined him. sent his prescriptions to Lisbig

After DR.. Stoddart left, Mr.. Turk met the
local doctors and told them what he had
