HE'S A "HONEY."
MayfieId Wants to Ride on the Shoulders
of the Old Soldier.

Mayfiesd Wants to Ride on the Shoulders
of the Old Soldier.
Senator May field is not smart. He
has showed that fact conclusively. A
smart man would never try to play
the confidence game on old soldiers.
IF there is any one class of people in
the commonwealth who can truly be
said to have had its eye teeth cut, it
is the old soldier class. The veterans
have "been there" and the man who
unde rtakes to deceive them at this
late day, is something of a chump.
The late constitutional convention
made it the solemn duty of the gen.
eral assembly to make liberal provis-
ion for old soldiers, and at its first
session thereafter, the general assem-
bly, did its sworn duty in passing a
bill. All of the members, of course,
were friendly to the old soldier, and
they Wed with each other in showing
him liberality. They were only doing
what the whole people had command.
ed them to do, and deserve no especial
credit for it. That MIR. May6eld did
more than anybody else is very doubt
full. But he is trying to make it ap-
pear so. The Winnsboro News and
Herald has just made public circu-
lar letter of a very transparent ma
ture, with which he is trying to catch
votes in Fairfield county. The letter
reads as follows:
DEAR SIR: In examining the comp
troller generals report, find you are
receiving the benefit of the act of
1896 "to aid the disabled soldiers Of
the Confederacy and their widows"
I helped to pass that act, and thus
contributed to the aid of such as de-
sired to claim its benefits. 1t is but a
small amout and should be doubled.
am going into the race for the
United States senator, and of all those
who are now in it, am the only one
who has aided in passing the act OF
1896. While l was doing this some of
nv competitors were then and are now
getting salary of $4,000 per year.
1 have never asked for any office
which had q salary attached, and l
now ask you to rally to my aid and
help him who helped you.
Good men and women, by speaking
out for me, can do much good, and if
elected 1 will remember my friends.
Let me hear from you.

living in exile from the South Eastern

ELLERBE SAYS PUBLISH.

He Has Neither Said or Written Anything
that He Is Ashamed to Have Known.
A few days ago, Senator Mayfield
charged from the stump that Governor
Ellerbe had been guilty of double
dealing in the metropolitan police
matter, and said that he could pro-
duce absolute proof of the charge, il
the governor dared to ask for the
same. After talking the situation over
with his friends, Governor Ellerbe
gave the press the following state
ment:
81 would like to have the proof OF
any double dealing on my part in ref
erence to the metropolitan police, or
any other public matter. l have writ
ten no private letters on the subject,

it and is requested to do so. l told u

SOLDIERS FOR ALAsKA.-The presi.
dent and Secretary Alger have decided
to detail an army officer and a COM
pany of soldiers from the regular army
for service in Alaska, says Washing,
ton dispatch of Monday.
The matter is yet in very indefinite
shape, but details will be arranged as
soon as possible, in order that the
soldiers may get into the vicinity oi
the gold country before navigation
closes on the Yukon river. They will
be sent to their destination via the
Yukon river route, and the offer of one
of the shipping companies on the Pa.
cifc coast to transport the men and
their baggage and stores, probably
will be accepted. The exact location
of the camp or post has not yet been
determined on but it is believed to be
at Circle City. An army officer now
in the field and who has had expert
ence in such matters, has been invited
to take charge of the company, and an
answer is expected from him very soon,
The detail of the men who will 60 will
be made from one of the posts in the
west; but just which one is not yet
finally settled on. The officials are
anxious to locate the soldiers in the
cold country as soon as possible, and
if it can be arranged, they will be
sent on the steamer sailing early in
August.

REPUTATION ABROAD,
Inquiries Coming from All
Sections of the State.

The following note will ex-
plain itself, and serve to show
that the people of York county,
have, in Strauss dry goods es,
tablishment, facilities for buying
goods, second to no community
in the state
H. STRAUSS: Please send samples
of the Jaconett, Crystal Cloth, Figured
and Striped, organdy, selling at cents, ,, !;
July 7th, and greatly oblige g,,,,,o r
Of course, have no reason to
publish the name of my pros
pective customer; but don't you
think that it proves that H. c.
Strauss's prices are right? We
certainly do; and, further, we
know that no merchant can un :
dersell us and stay in business.
All kinds of Underwear at RI
diculously low prices. And it is
a good time to buy.
While at Strauss's you will
find his stock of Gents Clothing
very much broken, in the event
that you can find what you want
you will certainly be able to get
it at a lower price than you ever
were offered the same quality of
goods before.
Watch Strauss's Bargain Coun-
ter and you will surely find some
thing that will be worth your
while to scoop in. New goods
are added to it everyday, and in
every article you will find a bar
gain. Among the great values
and articles now on Strauss
bargain counter, is a piece of
Crystal Cloth, the former price of
which was rs cents yard; now
goes at only a nickle.
Remember that my Parasols
are going at your own price, and
that for each dollars worth OF
goods purchased at my store in
cash, the purchaser is entitled to
a o'clock coupon"
We have a big stock of Sum-
mer goods; but you should never
take it for granted that you can
be supplied at anytime. 1t is
those who are active that get
them. Remember this.
He has a few Bicycle Suits on
hand.
You should consult Strauss.

To Succeed McIver.
August Kohn in News and Courier
1t is matter of frequent reference on
the stump that the coordination" has
selected candidate against Chief JUS
tice McIver. Of course, it would not
do to say that it is a part of the plot
to defeat Chief Justice McIver unless
there were some one selected for that
position. 1t has never been mention
ed from the stump who is to make
this race; but on the quiet it is un'
derstood that the coordination" has
offered to run Judge Buchanan against
Chief Justice McIver. This is not
said here with any purpose of doing
any injury to Judge Buchanan or to
associate him with any alleged combl'
nation, for he may know absolutely
nothing about the report but such
nevertheless, is the fact.

CAROLINA BUGGY co.
NO BUGGY
ON THE MARKET

rs EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUG
l. GY at the price it is sold. 1t is not
only the best buggy built in the southern
states but is also the best finished, in
painting and trimming, while its dura-
bility is equal to almost any requirement.
The painting never allows it to present
shoddy, makeshift appearance at any
stage Of its existence. While it is made to
sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer
and represent value equal to the price
for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND
STRONG and always built of the very
best material to be had, and in all stages
of its construction it il passed through
thorough, severe and critical inspection
by one whose first thought is to have it
built as near pefection as human skill can
accomplish. We make them to order
or keep them in stock, and it will be to
your interest to consult us when in need
of a vehicle.
