TO REMIND
Our friends in Clarendon that we
want continuance of the liberal pa
tronage the good people of Clarendon
have always so kindly bestowed upon
us, and in thanking them we desire
to saythata great part Of our 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 and we can
assure our friends that we will guard
their good opinion of US with 2 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 a position to do so and
with our usual watchfulness Of the
interests Of our patrons and our own
interests, We Fgrasped the situation
as soon as President Mckinley called
Congress together in extraordinary
session. We knew it meant Tariff
and Tariff meant a tremendous rise
in prices. We hurried on and made
our fall 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 eXcelled.
CLOTHING,
We offer 1T prices surprisingly low;
the greatest triumph over high prices
we have ever known. An eXamlna-
ton is all that is necessary to con-
vince. The customer gets full value
for his money.
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 manufactur-
ers' guarantee, and when you buy
pair Of shoes from US you get solid
leather.
GROCERIES.
It 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.

A Deadly Vocation.

A few years work In the manufac.
ture of white lead sufiices to effect a
hideOus Disagreement. In this indus
try 1t is inevitable that, sooner or later
the workers must succumb to lead poi
soning. and there would appear to be
no part of the body that the poisonous
fumes and floating particles which per-
meate the atmosphere of the workshops
do not affect The complexion takes
on a CHASTITY. corpse-like pallor. the
gums turn blue. the teeth decay rapidly
and fall out, the eyelids are hideOusly
infiamed. A scratch or an abrasion Of
the skin becomes an unbeatable sore.
Later on. when nerves and muscles be-
come affected by the poison in the
blood, the eyeballs are drawn into
oblique positions. and take on a dim
and bleared appearance. The joints,
especially the knee and the wrist, be.
come semi-paralyzed, and the whole
form 10 gradually bent and contortsd.

WASHINGTON Well Fortified.

In view of the fact that the national
capital was once taken and burned by
n foreign enemy, it is reassuring to
know that calamity so humiliatinS IS
not likely to occur again, even IN case
of sudden war.
Washington is the best defended city
in the country. A hostile fleet could
not now ascend the Potomac. as was
done in 1914, when President Madison
and bis wife were compelled to make
a hurried escape across the Potomac to
avoid capture by the British.
For military and prudential reasons
little has been allowed to be made
known concerning the new works and
the heavy ordnance recently Installed
below the city; but for the past two
wears engineers have been busy at the
river forts. Some very formidable
guns are now in position there, and
system Of torpedo defenses perfected
which would render the approach of an
enemy's warships, within twelve miles
of Washington, practically Impossible
The defensive works are located at
the .elbow," or turn. Of the Potomac
where old Forts Washington and Sheri
dan stood, and where at one point the
channel for vessels of deep draught Is
but 300 yards wide.
The guns are protected on the water
side by emplacement walls of stone
and concrete seventy feet thick, and or
| the land side by redoubts for infantry
! The rapidly increasing wealth ant
importance of Washington, the CRANE
new public buildings and the vast sums
of money and bullion in the treasury
render these protective and defensive
measures a matter Of national import
| ance and necessity.

The noise which is most disturbing is

A few nights Of sleeplessness a short
time ago led me to think the slamming
Of doors with creaking hinges, the rat
thing Of blinds, creaking shoes, with
noisy. heavy walking, were the most
distracting and annoying noises. Next
to this Is loud conversation and whis-

will enable people to shut or slam
doors hard yet without noise will con-
fer a great boon upon nervous human
ity. In the meantime, all persons, es-
pecially at night, should wear felt OF
cOrk-sOled or other soft slippers. All
doors and locks should be kept well
oiled, and every one should try to cul
tivate the art Of shutting doors as noise
lessly as possible.

TriusnphS In Surgery.

Cleansing OF the wound itself was al
most surgical heresy few years ago.
says the Forum. FOuled bandages
were the rule; ana the thicker and more
abundant the discharges the more
"laudable" they were considered to be.
Hence In the older works on surgery
the so-called "laudable" pus was as
much sign Of safety as 1t Is now Of
danger. Cleanliness Of instruments,
now prime consideration, was then
entirely ignored. Oftentimes the same
Instruments would be used at difer-
ent times upon the dead as well as the
living body; and a celebrated operator
of that day was accustomed to hold his
knife between his teeth when his
hands were temporarily employed in
the wound. II cut healed rapidly It
was a rarity sufficiently great to court
comment. Now the exact opposite il
the fact. The former result was rather
an accident Of cleanliness than the de-
liberate acknowledgment Of what
should have been the rule. Consequent
ly the most careful surgeons-thOse
who possessed instructive habits of
neatness and cleanliness-were the
most successful.

The collapse of bank is always a
public calamity the evil consequences
of which can never be measured in
mere pecuniary loss. 1t requires some
thing besides columns of figures to ad-
equately represent the deplorable re-
suits Of such a catastrophe as the
wrecking of the Globe Savings Bank of
Chicago. The damage to business in
the resultant loss Of confidence in bank
ing institutions and the general demon
alzation of the credit structure upon
which 80 per cent. of our transactions
are based cannot be accurately calcu-
lated in figures. yhe failure of the
Globe Savings Bank reveals startling
record of official perfidy and dishonor.
Seldom does n mere business collapse
disclose such depth Of moral rotten
ness involving such gross betrayals of
trusts that men ordinarily hold sacred.
The story of the wreck is black with
the most corrupt political jobbery. The
deeper it is probed the more offensive
becomes the stencil to the nOstrils of
honest men. The State Of Illinois
should probe the afralr 10 the potion 10
the end that the blame for the deplora-
bic condition of affairs may be placed
where it belongs and the culpable par.
ties severely punished. The interests
of honest banking, the interests Of the
State institutions whose funds were
jeopardlzed, and the rights Of those
whose savings were engulfed in the
maelstrom of polit;:al jobbery and
criminal population, all demand that
the investigation be made rigidly and
promptly. The people desire to know
if they have any protection in law from
such fragrant betrayals of trust by
those who have committed to them the
savings of the poor and the funds OF
State institutions.

of these sentinels of the plain are To-
Gated mOnasteries, where the piOus
monks of olden days sang their mat
ms and told their beads free from all
worldly distractions and temptations.
The Monastery Of All Saints, popularity
known as Hagios Barlaam, crowned
one Of these huge rocks and was one
of the largest of that kind of aerial
abode. In another group of high and
Jagged rocks are located other mOnas-
teries, such as that of st. Nicholas.
shown to the right, in the accompany
ing illustration. The leading feature in
connection with these strange abodes
Is their means of approach. They are
reached either hy loose rope ladders
hanging outside the perpendicular
rocks or by being wound up by means
of windlass in a net at the end OF
a rope. The Monastery Of All Saints
has the most beautiful position of all
others and is the best preserved and
largest. What makes 1t more attract
i've than any other is that it has the
longest rope used for the purpose of
ascent or descent. This rope Is $40
feet long. The ladders to this mOnas-
terry are not so difficult to climb as
some, but, inasmuch as they pull out
every time you grip them and swing
frightfully, It Is much pleasanter and
/ safer to ascend in the net. The Monas-
/ terry Of St. Nicholas, as shown in the
picture, Is almost totally dilapidated
/ and desecrated. while the ladders.
which are seen In the picture rising
from neighboring peak and hanging
from the bare rock, are impracticable.
All these monasteries are under the
control Of what is styled the Archi-
mandrite, a man Of sanity look and
commanding presence. The village of
Kastraki Is in between the outer rocks
Of this peculiar amphitheater among
the hills, and in the slit Of this rocky
wall at the back of the village stands
a most peculiar monolith. The rocks
on either side are perforated with
strange holes. which in the fourteenth
century were inhabited by the monks
Of st. Anthony.
