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 op 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. l
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 I know / am going
to get my money will not have to charge
the good men big prices to make up for
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.
I only want to sell my goods to men
who can and will pay for them, and to
such men 1 have word to say: want
your trade, and if square dealing, good
goods and low prices will get it, am
going to have it. VIII continue to sell
yon goods cheaper than you can get them
anywhere else, and will make it to your
interest as well as mine to give me your
trade. Compare my prices and goods
with all others and then buy where you
can do the best. l do not fear the result
you will buy from me nine times out OF
ten.

The Ad6ocdte 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 Nears and
Courier: "The Fort Valley region In
Georgia was, until few years ago,
given up to cotton farming. If 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, tncy would probably
have smiled at the suggestion. Many of
them, however, smile now every day
because somebody did make the sugges-
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
O,0OO trees, and is being enlarged every
year. There are not less thar 1880, 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,O0G One orchard company has
sold S120.000 worth o. trees this fall.
One peach grower in the county real
lied $500 per acre for his entire crop,
and his land is abort the average. An
Ohio company owns the largest orchard.
A Connecticut firm is bringing forward an
orchard which will cost S125,000 before
the trees begin bearing-and it is estima-
ted that the average crop will net them
$500, 600, 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 1t
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 fu
knowledge of the facts, that an acre of
peaches will yield $500 net in good
year, and shows tha. 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.

The work is now in progress at the
