says the Williamson correspondent OF
the Columbia State, under date of last
Friday. Mr.. Owens was employed by
the Pelzer Oil company, and at the
time of the accident was at work on
the roof of the oil mill with force of
carpenters putting in some skylights.
The electric wires, running from the
power house, two miles below felzer,
to the new cotton mill, happened 70
run directly over the oil mill building,
and the hands at work on that building
were compelled to use great care in
order to avoid coming in contract with
these electric wires, which were very
heavily charged. 1t seemed that al

III. G.. STRAUSS.
FROM SUNSTROKES

OwAToNNA, Minnesota, Nov. II, '9.
HENRY c. STRAUSS, Yorkville, s. g.
Dear Sir: Will you please send me a
copy of your advertisement, big Dis
count Sale" which noticed spoken of in
the New York Dry Goods Chronicle.
Yours truly, n. SORENSEN.
TROM the above letter-and it is only
Il one of large number that 1 have re-
ceived-it will be seen that my big Dis
count Sale" advertisement, has attracted
a semi-national attention. And why
shouldn't it? 1t was an announcement
of a whole storeroom full of bargains
all marked in plain figures, from which
a positive discount was given each day.
There was nothing misleading in it, and
there was nothing in the announcement
that could be misconstrued by anybody.
1t was statement of facts consisting of
a tremendous list of bargains, and the
people of York county knew it. They
simply took advantage of it, for they have
all learned that Strauss cannot be under
sold by anybody, and the New York
Dry Goods Chronicle commented on the
straightforward manner in which each
proposition was stated, and every word it
said could get unanimous endorsement
from our home people. Strauss cannot
be undersold and he won't be. The next
attraction that he has to call to your atteD-
ton is his splendid line Of

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
New Postmaster General Gives Thel
Strong Recommendation.

New Postmaster General Gives Them
Strong Recommendation.
The first annual report of Postmas-
ter General Gary to the president, was
made public in Washington last Sun
day night. The principal feature OF
the report is its strong advocacy OF
postal saving repositories. He says
that the time is ripe for their estab'
lishment, and makes strong argu-
ment in their favor. That portion of
his report which is devoted to this
subject; is in brief as follows:
Many millions of dollars are un-
doubtedly secreted by people who
have little or no confidence in ordi'
nary securities and monetary institu-
tions organized by private citizens. 1t
is dead capital but if its owners could
be inspired with absolute confidence
in the security of an investment, it is
altogether probable that the bulk OF
this fund would find its way into the
channels of trade and commerce. II
the government undertook this task,
the service would undoubtedly be
gladly accepted by the people. Their
faith in the government is unbounded.
Their little savings, which separately
could hardly be put out at interest,
would amount in the aggregate to a
sum that could be invested to their
advantage. 1t would tend to cultivate
thrift in a large class, realizing the
advantage of depositing with the gov,
ernment instead of wastefully and
uselessly expending; it would tend to
better citizenship, bringing into closer
relationship the government and its
citizens and developing practical and
enduring patriotism. This growth OF
patriotic sentiment and good citizen
ship constitute powerful appeal to
craftsmanship to make a way for these
benefcent consequences. The propo-
sition is an accomplished fact in near
ly every country in Europe, in the
British dependencies of both hemis'
pheres, and even in Hawaii.
In Great Britain, 1000, 900 deposit
ors have upward of $55O,000, 900 il
savings accumulated during 35 years
and in 10 years fewer than 10000
Hawaiian depositors saved nearly
$1,O0O,0OO. Deposits in Canada il
20 years exceeded $22,OOO,OOO. These
vast accumulations have been made
with the least possible loss to the gov
ernments which guarantee their repay
ment and with a minimum of cost t
the millions of depositors. More thar
a third of the postal savings accounts
in European Offices are held by minors
and over two-thirds by the most hum
ble callings. 1t is essentially the banl
of this class. Postal savings would no
conflict with these savings banks, bu
would encourage savings rather thar
accumulations.
The conversion of money order Off
ces into savings repositories would soOl
afford infinitely more facilities for re
ceiving interest bearing deposits thai
the Understanding banks do now
The most aggressive opponents ar
among the private institutions ell
gagged in somewhat similar enterprises
though associations of the large
cities recognize in it valuable feede

"Oh, DIR. Kuykendal, would you mind
stopping just moment" 2"
"Certainly not, Mrs. -"
"What I wanted to ask you is, DO you
know of anything better for cough and
cold than your Campbelps Cough Cure p
mo, madam, do not; really do not.
It gives better satisfaction and / sell more
of it than all the other cough medicines
I handle"
"Well, why wanted to know is, our
little girl has a dreadful cough, and has
had for two weeks, and when she first
took it Just sent down to your store and
got bottle of the Campbelps Cough Cure
and gave it to her, and when that bottle
was out l got another bottle and have
given nearly all Of that, and she still has
q cough, and I am very much worried
about it, because I have given both she
and our little boy the cough cure many a
time before, and it always did just cure
them up directly"
"Well, Mrs. -, possibly she has
whooping cough; there is some around"
"Well, well, I guess that is it, because she
whoops, or draws in her breath with a
noise or something like that"
"Well, mann, there is nothing to stop
whooping cough; but the CampbelPs
Cough Cure will shorten the paroxysms
and lessen their severity and enable the
child to get some rest"
"Yes, I have noticed that, and that is
why I have kept on giving it to her; 1t
really does do that"
ayes, it really does, and I don't think
you will find anything else quite so good"
"No, I guess not so I'll just send down
and get another bottle"
"Ail right, mann. think you will find
it to continue to relieve her as heretofore.
Good morning."
The above is real conversation which
took place few days ago, and not having
requested permission to use the lady's
name, do not do so. The facts are none
the less true, and any mother whose chill,
dren are afflicted with this disease will
find i'm CampbelPs Cough Cure more re-
lief for the sufferer than in any other
preparation on the market. For any or
binary cough or cold it is not only quick
relief; but a prompt and certain cure.

BLACKSBURG BUDGET.
The Show ON Monday-Social Matters-Per-
sonal Mention-A Fire Last Saturday

Night.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURa, November 15.-The Great
Wallace Show exhibited here today to
about 1000 people, many of whom came
from the ueighboring towns OF Gatfney,
Grover, and from near Hickory Grove.
Although the street parade and circus
performances were, as usual, not all that
were advertised, yet they were much bet
ter than any we have ever had here, and,
in some respects, superior to the great
Barnum & Bailey's show. The crowd
was orderly and generally we'll behaved,
and the people were we'll entertained and
satisfied, and none returned to their
homes disappointed except a few who
were foolish enough To "bet" on sharpers'
'tricks," and lost some of their hard
earned money.
Mrs. A. r. Gautier, Of Charlotte, n. c.,
after weeks visit TO her friend, Mrs. w.
J. Wilcox, returned to her home this af-
ternoon. During her stay, several enter
tainments were given in her honor by the
ladies of our town. On Friday, Mrs.
Wilcox gave an elegant luncheon at her
home on Academy street, which was very
tastefully arranged and served, and was
most enjoyable affair. On Wednesday
night, Mrs. Jones had card party at
Cherokee Inn, which was conceived and
carried out with that exquisite taste and
cleverness that is always special feature
of the entertainments given by the Major
and Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Otis A. Osborne, on Friday after
noon, at her residence, on Shelby street,
entertained quite number OF the mutual
friends of Mrs. Gautier and herself at an
afternoon tea. All who have partaken
of Mrs. Osborne's charming hospitality
can imagine how pleasantly the evening
was spent by her guests.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
gave an oyster supper on Tuesday night
at the residence Of Mrs. j. M. Guyton, for
the benefit Of the church. 1t was we'll
attended, and quite good sum Of money
was realized.
The Rev. Mr.. Shaw, of Mecklenburg
county, n. c., occupied the pulpit OF the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning,
and preached an excellent sermon to
largs congregation.
Nh. Sam NJ. Deal, who left home about
the last of September to attend medical
lectures in Baltimore, has been quite i'll
there with typhoid fever, and his many
friends will be pleased to know that he is
convalescing very nicely and will soon be
up again.
A small unoccupied dwelling, belong
ing to the Blacksburg Land and Improve
ment company, and situated near the
electric lighthouse plant, was burned on
Saturday night. The origin Of the fire is
not known; but it is supposed to have
beer set on fire by tramps, as number
of them were seen in the vicinity Of the
house the same night. w. A.

WITH THE POLITICIANS.
Seen and Heard In Columbia During the
State Fair.

Seen and Heard In Columbia During the
State Fair.
Columbia Register, Saturday.
Unless you kept your eyes pretty
we'll open and were on the alert, you
would hardly have noticed what a
large sprinkling of politicians there
was in the city during the past week.
You may have noticed some of them !;
but may have concluded that they
were only visitors to the fair like thou
sands of others. They were not un-
like others, but they had other irons
in the fire.
There were conferences and wire
pulling without end, and an allotment
of offices, just as if the people had
nothing to do with it.
Some of the Reformers are mad at
Governor Ellerbe, because he has been
appointing some Conservatives to office
and they have it Gin the neck for
him." and there are many candidates
spoken of to succeed him or oppose
him in the next campaign. AS that is
a long way of, there is no telling what
may happen, and many, or all, of
these schemes may 60 up in smoke.
However, The Register has definite
information from a party on the inside
that Senator E. L. Archer, of Spartan
burg, will be candidate for governor.
Colonel o. L. Schumpert, it is said,
will formally announce his candidacy
for governor this week. There is no
doubt about these gentlemen being
fairly launched in the race, and mat
tiers will be considerably complicated
thereby.
But there are others. Rumor hath
it that Mr.. Leon J. Williams will be a
candidate, and Judge Buchanan, Mr..
l.. D. Childs, Mr.. w. c. MCGOWAN,
"Uncle" George Tillman, former Sen
ator Harrison, of Greenville; Colonel
D. H. Tompkins, Congressman Talbert,
aud former Judge Hudson have also
been mentioned in connection with
the position.
With all these, or even half of them,
the campaign would be one of great
political interest from the start, but
some of them will doubtless drop out
before they cross under the wire.
