GOODS CHEAP
Enough Will
Sell Themselves.

VoU will still find bargains in all lines
/ at my store. The time of year is
coming when great many goods are
sold on long time, for two or three times
as much as they cost. Of course, in all
credit business there are lots of men who
will not pay. The merchants have to
charge high prices, SO as to make the
good men pay the bad mems debts.
am not going to do any of that kind of
business; will not sell a dollars worth
of goods on time unless the debt is well
secured. Then when 1 know am going
to get my money will not have 20 charge
the good men big prices to make up fol
what the rascals won't pay for. This
will be best for both you and me. The
men who pay cash or give good security
will get their goods at rock bottom prices
all the year round, and the men who
don't will have to buy their goods from
the merchants who charge big prices to
everybody, and only collect for about
half of what they sell.
only want to sell my goods to mer
who can and will pay for them, and tc
such men I have word 70 say: want
your trade, and if square dealing, good
goods and low prices will get it, an
going to have it. VIII continue to sell
you goods cheaper than you car get then
anywhere else, and will make it to youl
interest as well as mine to give me your
trade. Compare my prices and goods
with all others and then buy where yor
can do the best. I do not fear the result
you will buy from me nine times out O
ten.

Traitors in the Republican Camp
New York World. ]

INDIANAPOLIS, ND, January 9.-lt is
charged By Harrison's friends here that
Blaine's friends among the Republican
leaders secretly betrayed Harrison in the
recent campaign. in pursuance OF an
agreement made in Minneapolis to 90 all
that they could to defeat Harrison when
he was nominated.
The story goes that Harry New, son OF
Consul General New. visited New York
at the instance of the State committee
during the campaign to secure funds.
He met Cla,kson to whom he indicated
tie lines on which Indiana might be car
ried for Harrison Clarkson laughed at
the statement and indicated clearly that
he would not care if Harrison shcHld lose
Indiana. New then appealed 10 Chair
man Carter. who was more courteous tLan
Clarkson, but who seemed to have little
hope OF carrying the State.
New was deeply impressed with the
belief that the National Executive Com
mittee was under the influence of Clark
son, and that the latter was not loyal to
Harrison. He so informed the State
Committee upon his return. Acting upon
pointers which Clarkson had inadver-
tcntly given Harrison's managers began
an inquiry that demonstrated to their
minds that conspiracy had been formed
among Blaine's friends to defeat the
President. Having satisfied themselves
that certain Indiana politicians were in
the conspiracy the inquiry was extended
to other States, and treason was found to
be rife in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa and other States. and it was discov-
cred that among the leaders We're Clark
son, Cullom and Farwell, of Illinois.
The result of the investigation was
communicated to Carter, who laid it be-
fore Harrison. Carter was in favor Of
denouncing the conspiracy, but the Presl-
dent overruled him, saying that such a
course would do more harm than good.
1t was finally determined to notify the
friends of the President to be on their
guard, and, without letting the parties
know that they were suspected, to take
from them the direct management OF the
campaign. This policy was pursued dur
ing the remainder of the campaign.

The Ad,ocate takes an interest il

The Aduocate takes an interest IN
everything that concerns the welfare OF
the people for whom it is published. 1t
finds no little satisfaction in matters
like those mentioned in the appended
extract, from the Charleston Ne,rs and
Courier: 1.-The Fort Valley region in
Georgia was, until few years ago,
given up to cotton farming. II the
cotton farmers there had been told
that they could do better rais-
ing peaches, and that their worn-out
lands would soon become famous and
worth perhaps thousand dollars an
acre for the cultivation of that familiar
but neglected fruit, they would probably
have smiled at the suggestion. Many of
them, however, smile now every day
because somebody did make the sugses-
ton and tried what virtue there was in
it. The largest peach orchard in the
world now occupies one of the old cot
ton-farm sites. 1t contains already
$50 0OOtrees, and is being enlarged every
year. There are not less than 1850, 900
young trees in the neighborhood of
Fort Valley, to say nothing of those in
other parts of the same country, and the
net profit to the fruit growers around
Fort Valley alone for the past season was
over s50O,0OO. One orchard company has
sold $4,000 worth of trees this fall.
One peach grower IN the county real
lied $500 per acre for his entire crop,
and his land is about the average. An
Ohio company owns the largest orchard.
A Connecticut firm is bringing forward an
orchard which will cost s125, 900 before
the trees begin bearing-and it is estima-
ted that the average crop will net them
$500, 900, which shows that they are not
spending money for nothing. The
Connecticut and Ohio farmers know a
good thing when they see it or hear of it
and some of our South Carolina farmers
may profit from their example, if they
will, by trying the same crop here at
home. Mr. Darlington states, with full
knowledge of the facts, that AN acre of
peaches will yield $500 net in good
year, and shows that at that rate one
crop in seven years pays better than a
cotton crop every year, with cotton at 10
cents pound, and the chances are good
for peach crop one year in every three
years
