larger Industries.

ing much attention not only in this State,

The lynching of the negro, Lawrence
Brown, in Orangeburg, last week, was an
outrage aud brutal murder. The per-

negro had been arrested for arson, but
had been released at the request OF the
prosecutor, who had no proof against
him. The law-abiding people of Orange

WE have been so busy this season
that we have hardly found time to
write an advertisement unless we tres
passed upon the Sabbath, hut the ''ox
was not in the ditch" and this was
unnecessary as the people seemed to
know where to come to buy their goods
anyway.
In our 81 years active business cx-
perience we have never been in posi-
tion to serve the people so we'll and
save them so much money on their
purchases as We are to-day, and were
never so much in earnest about doing
business as we are about now.
Notwithstanding our heavy sales to
parties near and far we are overloaded
on many lines Of goods, as our New
York buyer seems to think he can t
load US too heavy when he can get
them at such ruinously low prices for
prompt cash, as he did during the
squally election times just past when
money in New York was worth so to
| 100 per cent. on call. This is the ad.
vantage of always having shrewd
representative in the Metropolis, but
| it takes money to keep this kind Of a
thing rolling, and any who wishes to
select from stock of goods we'll bought
and that will not fall far short Of 500.
900 in value can do so by calling around
at our store.
Many goods are on the advance.
This is the day of gigantic trusts and
consumers are compelled to pay tribute,
and the promise Of the near future is
they are to be still more fostered and
encouraged. 1t seems the hide and
leather market has been again cor.
nered. So look out for high priced
Shoes. We are we'll "heeled' and are
prepared to name prices on many new
desirable solid goods less than former
ly. For instance, we will sell you the
best mems homemade, a No. Zip,
Ca, or English Tie that We sold a
year ago for sl.50 now Sl.O0. Men $
Genuine Calf, Dongola top, sold last
year $500, now $1.25. A solid Men S
| Buff or veal calf at 95c. that formerly
sold for s1.25. Several lines Of ladies'
and children's goods are being sold in
the same proportion. We frankly
admit that throughout the store our
values are not uniform, i. e., in some
| goods our purchases are more fortunate

The Spartanburg Herald is correct
when it says: "The proposition to build a
cotton. factory inside the penitentiary
walls and work convict labor in it, is too
preposterous to receive serious consider
alton. Convicts should be engaged in
such work as offers the least competition
with honest labor. Road building is
about the best disposition that can be made
of them.n

Mr.. SHERMAN'S SURRENDER
He Withdraws His Appointment of
Mr. Joseph 2. Smith.
The Director of the Bureau of
American Republics Must Be
Chosen After Examination.

The executive committee OF the Bureau
OF American Republics VIII meet today
in the office of the Secretary of State
to settle the affair OF the appointment Of
director of the bureau. The Evening
Times or yesterday gave a full history Of
the ease, and the hitch among the mem
bers OF the committee. Secretary Sherman
being on one side and the ministers of
Mexico Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil
on the other.
Secretary Sherman claimed the right to
appoint TIE director, but the ministers
protested. The director MIR. Clinton Fur
bish, declined to be removed as he had
been by Secretary Sherman, who put Mr..
Joseph Z Smith in his place on paper.
Mr.. Kurdish advised the Secretary that
If the Secretary would withdraw the re-
moval he, Mr.. Furbisn, would consider a
resignation, bat to be made only to the
executive committee. Mr.. Furbish and
the ministers took the ground that the OF
ganic law OF the union required that va
cancies III the office Of director could only
be filled i'll d specified manner, one ccnth-
ton precedent being after an examination
of the applicants by board consisting OF
three appointed by the ministers and two
by the Secretary of State. This board
would recommend three from whom the
Secretary could select.
The news was given out yesterday that
the appointment of Mr.. Smith had been
withdrawn, which was a concession Of the
Secretary of State by which he gave up
the contention that he had the original
power of appointment In fact. MI Sher-
man gave up this contention as soon as the
ministers pointed out to him the law in the
premises.
The resignation of Mr.. Furbish win be
considered at the meeting today, where
doubtless the question will be discussed
whether he can be removed at all except
for cause. Should the resignation be ac-
cepted, if rendered, then Mr.. Smith will
have to take with others his chances of an
examination, which will be ordered posi-
bly, within the next ten days. Mr.. Smith is
a very .able man, and Secretary Sherman
has spoken of him in very high terms as hav-
ing the qualifications for the place The
examination, however, makes it question
of percentages.
