WN\XE - can say without ezaggeration that We have a stock of
Wv dry goods more perfect as to style, less shoddy and few
y er old goods, than any store in Audubon county. You
don't care for style, you say? Perhaps you don't, but most people
do. If you really don't care, then why keep on paying as much for
old goods as you can buy new from us? We believe we work harder
to furnish our customers with goods that are right in price, quality
and style than most stores So many merchants look upon the
goods they buy with the eye of the seller. If in their opinion it will
sell and pay a profit, that's what they buy, regardless Of whether it
is the style, whether it is quality or whether the consumer will get
satisfaction. They seem to have no thought farther than their front
door. 1t it impossible for you to keep posted on all the new styles
as they come out. Therefore you must trust, more Or less, to the
advice of your friends or your merchant. We go to market twice a
year and take time to visit all the large city retail stores. We take,
and read, papers devoted to the dry goods business. We keep post.
ed all the time as to what is right and what is not. We strive to
furnish onr customers with a class Of goods which are up to date in
every particular. We don't know how you feel about it, but it seems
to us that if we should buy for ourselves anything which we sup.
posed to be correct in style, because it had just arrived on this mar.
kt, and afterwards found it to be some ancient and out of date
style, then we think our feeling for that store would be anything
but friendly. We know of just such cases. We know of ladies
buying goods that were out of style and paying just as much (and
sometimes more than stylish goods would have cost them. Each
season has it's color, weaves, patterns, etc. 1t is our intention to
have the right ones, whether it be in dress goods, silks. hats laces
or anything else. Sometimes we could, we think, buy goods that
might sell just as readily and which would make us more profit.
Sometimes we doubt the wisdom of all our work and trouble. espec
tally when we miss a sale because we haven't some (" back numbers"
Yet when a season is we'll advanced and people find out that our
goods are right, then selling is much easier. Perhaps our custom.
ers appreciate our efforts more than we think, anyway our business
keeps growing each year, despite the hart times. We work to serve
you, not because we are philanthropists, but because it will pay us
to dot We are not here to do business for one year, or two years,
but for many years to come.

shipbuiIding in 1890.

Il appears from data published in Lloyd's
Register that the United States stood sec
ond in the production of new ships dur
ing the year 1886. Great Britain led in the
industry. as might be supposed, and launch
ed All ships. The United States launched
A9 ships and Germany launched SO ships.
The total number of ships launched and
regularly registered during the year was
1.3l5. This number does not, of course, in
clude craft Of small tonnage which are not
registered in the custom houses. The to-
tai tonnage was just little short of 2,OOO,-
COO OF the total number Of craft launch
ed, 90 were war ships. 7sS were steamers
and 325 were sailing vessels Iron and
steel were the principal building materials
used; very few Of the ships were of wood.
The records show that the wooden ship IS
destined to disappear from the seas, and
be supplanted by the stauncher and
swifter steel craft.
A comparison with the results of former
years shows that the shipbuilding industry
is gaining rather than falling away. This
is true of the United States as well as of
the United Kingdom. The average of yes
sells turned out in the United States has
for several years been in the neighborhood
of 80. Lloyd's does not indulge in spec
ulation, contenting itself with giving the
cold facts merely. and leaving it to others
TO draw whatever conclusions they may
choose. But other people in position to
know look for an increased business in
shipbuilding this year, TO be followed by a
still larger increase in succeeding years.
Japan has ordered two war vessels built
in this country. They will not be launch
ed this year. probably, but the attention
of other countries desiring to provide
themselves with similar ships will be at
tracted to American yards, and other for
eign orders may supplement the orders
from Japan And when It has been clear
ly demonstrated to persons at home and
with foreign yards in the production of
the highest types Of modern ships. there
will be an increase in building for com
merciai purposes.
One thing needed to stimulate the ship
building industry is more liberal code of
! tions the laws are all in favor of a coterie
of sipbulders, and against the
interests of the ship owners. If owners,
and prospective owners, were dealt with
more literally, the demand for ships to fly
the American flag would be greatly in
| creased, with the result that there would
be more work for American builders.

The Majors Orthography.

The colonel was a bluff old fellow, and
all the officers liked him except for one
thing, and that was his jealousy of the
commanding officer of neighboring post,
says Harper's Round Table. He would
grow irritable whenever this officers name
was mentioned, although he invariably
brought the name up himself. One even

some fun with the co.onel, and possibly
put a stop to his pettishness.

The balance of trade in favor OF this
country for the year 1886 was 1925, 322, All.
Estimated al the point OF shipment We
exported $1.o15.S7s ~ worth Of products
and imported $3.50 $4,000 worth. Never be-
fore was there such a large balance of
trade in our favor. In 1878 the balance in
our favor was S305,000,0OO.
We mention these facts for the purpose
of calling attention TO our growing com
merce and especially our export trade.
And the south IS making a splendid show
ing in exports. Her cotton, naval stores,
phosphate rock and lumber form large
part of the exports Of the country.
But what Is chiefly attracting attention
in our export trade is the amount of
grain that is being shipped from
southern ports. The grain Is not, of
course, the product of the south. 1t is a
product of the west, and is going to for
eign markets by way of Baltimore, New
port News, Norfolk, New Orleans and
Galveston. Much more grain was shipped
through the foregoing ports last year than
through Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia.
But why is no grain being shipped
through Savannah? Savannah has deep
water to the sea, and has splendid rail-
roads leading to the grain fields. Why,
then. should not Savannah have her share
of the grain shipments? She is as near to
the grain fields as some of the other south
ern ports which are large grain shipping
ports-nearer in fact. Is it because Sa-
vannahs railroads are not as enterprising
as they should be- Gotten ships would
like grain cargoes. and there are many
cotton ships here during the cotton sea-
son and there are facilities for handling
grain.
We cannot afford to wait for business
to come to US. In this hustling period Of
competition business must be solicited We
must be alive and active and make the
most Of our opportunities or we shall not
only not gain any new business, but we
shall lose what we have.

Duty of Cultured People.

Prof Charles Sprague Smith delivered
an interesting lecture the other night in
New York upon the subject, 1.-THE Pres
ent Responsibility of the Cultured
Classes" He based his argument upon
the prevailing discomfort and the opin-
ion by leading thinkers that a great
change is to come over government and
society. He declared that it depends ma
terially upon the cultured classes what
the nature of that change shall be;
whether it shall be an orderly evolution,
leading to an almost perfect system of
governmental and social ethics, or shall
be a revolution of blood and fire, hastily
upsetting established principles and re-
forming a civilization upon principles
new and untried. The speaker said he
did not fear revolution, because the peo-
pie at heart are altruistic, and not an
archistic. They believe in lettering the
condition of themselves and others, and
not in making it worse, hence they are
disposed to move slowly. and upon ma
ture consideration directed by wise coun-
sci.
Cultured people must be the COUNSEL
lors. 1t devolves upon them to instruct
the masses and lead them into the right
path. 1t is their duty to teach that the
laws of nature cannot be set aside by leg
islation, as some political demagogues
have been trying to make the people be-
lieve. 1t is their duty to expose the mar
row-minded partisans who hope to ride
into power upon the backs of the peo-
pie whom they may succeed in hood
winking. 1t is their duty to expose the
fallacy, at present very popular, that the
way to make a people rich and prosper
Gus is TO tax them heavily, and to turn
the light of truth upon the false princi-
pie that as taxes are piled up so will the
peoples wealth be increased.
The hearts of the masses are right.
They can be trusted. They are striving
to see the light, and welcome aid to that
end. They need and desire information.
And it is the duty of the cultured people
to give them information; not in a Phar-
isaical spirit, but in the spirit of friend,
brother and co-worker for the principle
of equal rights for all and special privi-
! leges for none.

The Development of Highways.

The annual report Of the railroad COM
mission of Massachusetts directs atten-
ton to the fact that since June 3d. 1888
not a mile has been added to the main
lines and branches of railroads in the state
of Massachusetts. In view of this fact
the commission feels constrained to OBJ
serve that so far as new lines are con-
cerned, steam railroad building is about
at an end in that state. The probabilities
are that similar conditions exist in the
other New England states, and probably
also in others of the older states of the
north. The territory for steam roads has
been worked up. There is no demand for
new lines. Those now in operation will
suffice for years to come In many in
stances there are more roads than there
is business for. As a. result, combinations
have to be entered into, for the purpose
of keeping down competition. Five Mas
sachusetts companies now control 90 per
cent Of the mileage in the state and haul
nearly 80 per cent. of the passenger traf-
ic.
1t has taken little more than sixty
years to. work up all of the available
steam railroad territory in Massachusetts.
1t will take some time longer to exhaust
the possibilities for profitable railroad en-
terprises in the southern states. But they
will eventually be exhausted, and there
are close observers who think they fore
see that time in the not far distant future.
An era of trolley road construction now
exists. Short electric lines are being run
into the suburbs from the cities and towns,
and to connect neighboring towns with
each other. To a considerable degree they
are putting the farming districts into easy
rapid transit communication with the
shipping points and markets. And their
beneficlent influences will be extended
from year to year.
Every township, settlement. village and
town, however. cannot have an electric
road. When the electric road territory
has been worked up. therefore, there would
still remain a vast and fruitful proportion
of the country without improved means
of communication with neghboring
sections, if it were not for the great and
growing good roads" movement. The
peoples highway is the dirt road of the
country. the public road. While the steam
railroad and the trolley are civilizers of
incalculable value. the public road is an
indispensable adjunct to civilized life.
Heretofore, in this country, the public
road has not received merited attention.
Now, however, states and communities are
moving in the direction of building perfect
systems of good and permanent public
roads. This kind of road building will go
on long after steam and trolley road build
ing has practically ceased; and the coun-
try will grow richer and better as the i'm
provement of public roads progresses. The
country has done much in the way of de-
veloping highways. But there remains
much yet to be done.
