To School Trustees.

Section l of an act of the Legisla-
ture, approved Dec. %, 1891, reads as
follows: ng...,
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the State
of South Carolina, now met and sitting
in General Assembly, and by the au-
thority of the same, That the trustees
of the several school districts in the
county shall! report to the County Au-
ditor the names of all taxable polls in
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
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 4
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.

We know that many read
ers of the Advertiser distrust
the advertisement which an
nounces goods at cost; and
such elistrust is a wise skepti-
cism on the part of tile 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 we'll 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 we keep, except
groceries, in order to get the
store room. aisa
These two reasons ought to
satisfy the most skeptical that
we mean business. If parties
wish it we. will show our bills.s

king in South Carolina, and all
hold Offices by his will, therefore
their speakers appeal to the poor
man, and tell him Tillman is his
enemy. But for Tillman. Clemson

bills would never have been
passed. The other side never praise
Tillman for the many good thugs
he has brought about, such as the
reapportionment of representation
