LEVI BRO7HERS,
TO REMIND
Our friends in Clarendon that W
want q continuance of the liberal pa
tronase the good people of Clarendon
have always 50 kindly bestowed upon
us, and in thanking them we desire
to say thata great part of orr success
in this busy market Of Sumter is due
to the people with whom we were
brought up and who know us best.
We are truly thankful for this mani
festation OF confidence ana We can
assure our friends that we will guard
their good opinion Of us with a jeal-
Gus care.
The season is at hand when goods
will have to be bought, the Home
and the Farm will have to be pro-
vided for. There never was a time in
this country when it was more to
ones interest to look carefully after
purchases.
Congress brought on a revolution
in the prices of manufactured goods,
but being in position to do so and
with our usual watchfulnesS of the
interests of our patrons and our own :
interests, We ,grasped the situation
as soon as President Mckinley called
Congress together in extraordinary
session. We knew it meant Tariff
and Tariff meant 4 tremendous rise
in prices. We hurried on and made :
our fail contracts and the result is
that we are able to compete with any :
house in the State, in Dry Goods,
Clothing, Shoes, Hats, and further
we are paying every cent the market
will permit for cotton
Our Dress Goods Department
Is a pleasure for any lady to visit; =
there she will find perfect line of =
the newest Novelties and latest ideas.
The styles are models of beauty; de-
signs and coloringS cannot be eyceled.
CLOTHING,
We offer at prices surprisingly low; =
the greatest triumph over high prices :.
we have ever known. An eyamina- =
tion is all that is necessary to con- d.
vince. The customer gets full value :

SHOES, SHOES, SHOES.
The largest and best stock we have =
ever handled and nowhere can better =
bargains be had than at our store.
In this line we give the manufacture

GROCERIES.
1t is hardly necessary for US to say =
anything about this line because it is
known that we buy direct; there is
no middle man to share in the profits
and our customers can get anything
in the Grocery line from us and save
money.
We want you to come to see US
when you come to the city, and we
not only want to sell you goods, but /.
we want you to sell us your cotton.

DIVORCE SENSATION BREWING.
A Man Accuses His Cousin of Lead
ing His Wife Astray.


Atlanta, Ga, March H.-The usual week
" sensation came to hand to-day in the
form of a domestic scandal, which will
reach the divorce courts just as soon as
the papers can be prepared.
The principals are a man, his wife, and
his first cousin. Both men have been
salesmen in several leading stores and are
quite well known. The cousin, who is
accused of having led the wife from the
maths of virtue, is now out west. 1t Is
said that he went there to escape being
killed, although the husband says he had
no notion of killing him. All he wants
is to expose him and his faithless wife to
public contempt, and then a divorce. Then
he will be even. The wife is in Chatta-
nooga, his old home, with her mother.
She declares that her husband drove her
away from his house by his cruelty, and
that there is no truth in his charge of un-
faithfulness. He is mad, she says, be-
cause she will not come back to him, and
at the point of pistol forced his cousin
TO confess falsely that he was her para
mOur.

From the New York Press.
That a wealthy and cultivated American
should deliberately burn Off one of his
hands as self-punishment for a blow
struck in moment Of causeless anger
seems incredible. Yet one of the most
promising young literary critics in New
York is now minus his left hand as a re-
suit of such an extraordinary self-mutila-
tion.
John Jay Chapman struck a friend with
his left hand, and found out afterwacd
that his anger had been groundless, the
result Of an unjust suspicion. At once
he determined that he would carry with
himself as a long as he lived a memorial
OF his disloyalty and a warning not to give
way to unreasonable anger again The
familiar text. "If thy hand offend thee,
cut IT of" occurred to him. he would
comply with it. And so one day he ap-
peared with his arm IN a sling. He had
held his hand in the fire until II had been
consumed. To have cut it Off would not
have been painful enough.
II was at Harvard that this remarkable :
act was committed. Chapman was reti.
cent when questioned about the vanished
hand that struck a friend IN anger shall

OF any one else would probably have Oc-

McLane is one of the Fifth United
