AN UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

Last November we made comment IN
a suit brought by the attorney oenera1
OF Wisconsin to dissolve a corporation
styled the National Manufacturing
company, with headquarters in Osh-
kosh, on the ground that it was q
trust operating in violation of the laws
OF that state. 1t included S5 per cent
or all the manufacturers of sash. doocs
and blinds in the states of Wisconsin
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa and
Minnesota. The compIaint of tha at+or
ney general alleged that the ostensibIe
purpose of the corporation. as declared
IN Its articles, was the manufacture
and sale of the products of it's mem
bers, but that the real obiect was 70

among themselves and the dealers RI
arbitrarily fix and maintain unnatural
prices, to prevent members from selling
at less than the price established. and
to coerce dealers to become members hv
injuring their business, if they refused
to join.
The contract of combination provid-
ed for board Of directors who were
to meet at least monthly and establish
scale of prices to be binding on tba
members. If a member sold for 1ass
than the scale, one share, $50, Of the

ty days, should buy another share.
Failure was punished by forfeiture Of
his entire subscription and expulsion
from the organization. Members might
buy products Of each other on any
terms they agreed on, but could not
sell to outsiders for less than sched-
uled rates. Provision was made for
meeting competition and defeating or
crushing it by a price war, the losses
of the dealer to be made good by the
combination. The account books of
the members were to be open at all
times to inspection by an agent Of the
trust These were the main features
Of the contract, and it will be seen
that the methods are almost identically

WEISS, STRAUSS & co.
DRY GOODS.

This establishment MAJ with
truth aud justice be called thepop-
ular store. No other in the city
enjoys more general favor with all
classes of the population, and the
days are rare when tits not throng-
with customers, from the lady Of
wealth and fashion in search of an
elegant dress pattern or cider down
quilts to the country laborcr who
wishes to buy his wife calico or
himself pair Of hrogan shoes,
With such a wide range of custom
the stock kept on hand must ne
cessarily be very large and very
varied. But the great range of
goods to choose from is not the
only attraction of the Weiss Strauss
store. 1t has wide and well
earned reputation for chcapncsS
as we'll as quality Of goods: Tho
propFiet0rs recognize that with
cotton at 8 cents the profits Of
merchants must correspond with
those of the raisers of the staple,
and their popularity is an evidence
that the public appreciate their
consideration, Even with cotton
at five cents merchants can
sell and planters can buy to adj
vantage if enough goods are sold
to make up the difference, and
those bought are fully worth the
price paid, These two points are
always considered in the dealings
of this firm, with the result that
they daily dispose of large quaint
ties Of dry goods, clothing, blan-
kets, and articlesof domestic furn-
ishing, and their patrons are never
with their purchases
or the prices charged. The firm
claims to carry the largest and best
line of ladies, gentIemen's and chill
drens underwear, blankets, quilts
and bed and table furnishings in
The city; and indeed their stock in
dudes every thing in this line that

In 1895 Mr.. Cross left GrcenyiIlc

congregation which had grown
from less than $50 in 1884 to near

of st. James where ho had found
flock without a fold. In 1896 the
Rev. Quincy Ewing, of New Or
leans was called, and remains in
charge to the present time. He
is one of the most powerful think
ers, speakers and writer's in the
Episcopal church, and ~ well
known from st. Louis to New Or
leans as leader of theological
thought and learning. The church
is richly furnished, and possesses II

dered by vested choir of "a voices.
The parish is one of the largest
and most cultured in the State,
and is constantly increasing in
numbers and influence.
The Presbyterian church is
the second religious organi-
cation established in Greenvillo,
having existed since 1854, at
which early date the Rev. Lee
was its pastor In 1860 the first
church in the county Was built by
the Presbyterians at a cost of
about 81, 900. This church was
burned in 1868, when the village
of Old Greenville-little more
than q river landing-was destroy
ed by the fortunes of war. In
1861 the Rev. Stevenson Archer
was called. Since that time the
history of the Presbyterian church
insthe Delta has been closely and
continuously connected with that
of MI. Archer. He may justly be
called its father; for from his
youth his life has been devoted to
its upbuilding. Until 1855 he re-

CHAS. HALTER.
THE BIG STORE

The mammoth establishment OF
| Charles Halter, on Walnut street,
is Justly called the Big Store, for it
is big in size, space, stock, and
every thing except prices. Price
is the only small thing about Hat
ter, and it is matter of wonder
to his customers how he grows so
fast and spreads so far on suoh
profits. The secret is small pro-
fits, but great many of them,
The amount of goods sold by this
concern to enable it to grow to its
present extent is simply enormous
Mr.. Hafter's business il only
eleven years old; and the develop
ment of such concern as his
present store from a small begin
ing in that time is to say the least
extraordinary. He came to Green
vile as partner in the concern OF
B. Wolf & Co., which was dis
solved in 1889, and merged into
the firm of Leyser & Halter.
Under these two enterprising
young men the business furnished
| until 1894, when the firm was dis
solved, Chas. Halter assuming full
control, and so rapidly has tho
business grown that he was COM
PEELED, year ago, to buy the store
adjoining, and throw the two to-
gether, forming the great estab-
lishment as it now exists.
In the Christmas announcement
of the Halter store no enumera-
ton of the immense and varied
stock on hand in the great double
store is attempted, for the simple
reason that such list would come
near filling up this edition OF the
GREENvILLE TINES, big as It Is,
and Mr.. Halter is liberal enough
to give other merchants an equal
chance, knowing that he can afford
to be generous.
The store claims to be the larg-
est in the Delta, and the claim is
not an extravagant one, either in
point of space covered or stock
carried. In its various depart
ments may be found every article
usually kept in stock in n Dry

paid to the selection OF mems,

BAIRD-SM CO.

| This Is one of the leading anC
most popular grocery establish
ments in the city, and its large
force of clerks is kept busy con
stantly to supply the needs of an
ever increasing patronage, The
quality and price of their goods
is seldom questioned and they pos
sess in the highest degree the con-
fidence of their patrons. The sup
ply of groceries kept on hand by
them for the holiday trade can not
be excelled in Greenville, either in
price or variety, and, in providing
for the wants of their customers,
they consider the needs and peter
ences of all classes of the cOmmun-
ty. The planter in search of sup
plies for his tenantry and work
hands; the city house-keeper whose
elegantly supplied table is her
pride, or the humblest citizen,
whose Christmas dinner must be
select with economy and thought,
will each find satisfactory goods
and prices and courteous consid-
Grafton at the Baird-Smith Com
pany's store. At the commence
ment of the holiday season, and
with increasing activity until its
close, the establishment is re-
markable scene of busy life and
energy; and its large force of
clerks, compe tent and active as
they are, are scarcely able to keep
up with the demand upon their
time and attention. The present
promises to be the busiest and
most prosperous winter in the in
stitution's history, and in order to
meet the demand for fine goods
and the increasing patronage a
stock has been provided which is
claimed by the management to be
superior to any similar line ever
offered in Greenville. Everything
kept in a frst-class city grocery
establishment can be found here
in variety and profusion, from the
choicest and most costly delicacy
to the heavy staples, and at prices
which must insure the satisfaction
of buyers.

Probably never in the history of our
beloved country has so many economic
problems been pressing for solution
than are now engaging public atten-
ton. And never before has there been
manifested such widespread difference
OF opinion as to how these problems
OF government should be settled. Diff
ferences of opinion have led to serious
consequences in the past, but it would
seem that our civilization is too strong
ly fortified for an appeal to anything
but reason. After all these differ
ences are nothing more than an intel
lectual search for the truth, in which
all are engaged. The fellow with
whom you do not agree is seeking the
same truth that you are pursuing. The
chances are that you are nearly at an
equal distance from it. The logic of
events is leading you to the same
point. You should try and keep this
fact in mind. Therefore be tolerant
and Christian-like toward your fell
low. If he has false ideas. the very
fact that he is exploiting them aids
others to discover the truth.

The Inter State Commerce commits
zion in their report say: The statis-
tics submitted show that the number
OF railway employees killed during the
year ending June 30, 1896, was 1861,
and the number injured was 29,969.
These figures indicate an increase of
SO in the number killed, and of 4,273
in the number injured, as compared
with the preceding year. The number
of passengers killed was ISL, and the
number of passengers injured 2,873,
being an increase of II in the number
killed and of 1913 in the number in
jured. The number of persons other
than employees and passengers killed
was 4,4O6, and the number injured
5.S45. These figures include casualties
to persons reported as trespassers. of
whom 3,811 were killed and 4,468 were
injured. From summaries showing
ratio of casualties it is found that for
every 444 men employed on railways /
was killed. and for every % men en-
ployed 1 was injured. A similar COM
parison as to rrainmen shows that /
trainman was killed for each 1852 train
men employed, and that 1 trainman
was injured for each 10 trainmen en-
ployed. The number of passengers
carried for l passenger killed was g.
827.474, and the number of passengers
carried for 1 passenger injured was
1882. AS showing in another way
the immunity of passengers from acct
dents the report gives ratios based
upon the number OF miles Travelled,
from which 1t appears that 72,O93, 1863
passenger-miles were accomplished for
every passenger killed. and 4,541.94
passenger-miles for every passenger
Injured.

On a recent Sunday a child's gold
ring was found in the contribution bas-

little Helen Church, aged four years,
having deposited her contribution at
the first collection. had nothing left
when the basket appeared the second
time but her penny for Sunday
shool. The little one asked her moth
