1898 has knocked and the door
of the future has been opened
unto it, and as to what it shall be
is matter entirely with us-just
what we make it. Plan with
your brain and work with your
hands. Work intelligently and
work persistently and all will be
we'll. We have settled down to
hard work and are now ready for
business. We have a complete
line of the best and most select
Fancy and Family Groceries to-
gether with all kinds OF Planta-
tions Supplies, and in few days
expect to make contracts for our
annual supply of fertilizers. In
the meantime we solicit the pat
ronage of all trustworthy and re-
liable customers. Recognizing
the fact that there are others
catering to the same kind of
trade as ourselves, and desiring
to be charitable toward them, we
refrain from quoting prices at
this time; but will leave that to
you for investigation.
Everybody recognizes us as
headquarters for fine Flour, and
no one can beat us OH Shingles
or Laths.

The Roddey Medal.
Columbia State: Another medal has
been offered to the students of the
South Carolina college. This time MIR.
John T. Roddey, of New York city, is
the donor, and the medal is to be pre-
sented to the best debater from the
Clariosophic and Euphradian societies.
Mr.. Roddey is graduate of the class
of 1884, and has always taken lively
interest in the affairs connected with
his alma mater. A few weeks ago he
wrote the president of the college,
Prof. F. C. Woodward, that he would
offer gold medal to be given the best
debaters from the two societies, pro-
vided it met with the approval of the
faculty and the members of the socie-
lies. Having approved of the plan
the faculty referred the matter to the
members of the Clariosophic and Eu-
phradian societies for acceptance. AT
a Joint session held a short time ago,
the offer was formally accepted. The
debate for the medal will be held some
time in the the early fall, the Wednes'
day night preceding Thanksgiving
day. The query is to be selected by
Mr.. Roddey and approved by the fac
ulty the award will be made by a
committee of five selected by the con.
testants. The subject for discussion
will likely be connected with the
present day affairs relating to the po-
litical, social or business world. Each
society is TO select two contestants.
This contest is in no way to interfere
with any which the societies enjoy at
present, but will add another 10 the
list of interesting public exercises
which are now given.

SOLlDlFlES THE PARTY.
Teller Resolution Paral Yves National Dem
ocrats.

The Washington correspondent ol
the Atlanta Journal, which paper is
itself of National Democratic" ten
deucies, writing under date of Mon
day, has the following to say of the
effect of the passage of the Teller res
olution by the senate:
"Does the vote on the Teller resolu'
ton sound the death knell of the ma.
tional Democratic party? 1t would
seem so, and even the erstwhile mem'
bers fear as much. Caffery stands out
alone, the only gold Democrat 10 vote
AS he professed in the past. Senator
GRAY made d significant remark the
other day when he said that the Re
publicans would never rest satisfied
until they had driven every gold Dem
ocrat to vote for Tree silver.
"He disclaimed his intention Of eve
doing so: but his vote on the Teller
resolution was d step very much IL
that direction.
"The fact that Lindsay, Gray, Mitch

save the sturdy old rock from Louis

democrats, is taken as sign tina

to have left the party; but be that as
it may, they are very close to the old
organization now.
"They have never been excluded
from the party caucuses and the eau
Gus practically settles the political
status of a man.
"Lindsay's statement that no man
could afford to vote against the resolu-
ton unless he was willing to become
merely an attachment to the Republi-
can party, and that he would never
be willing TO occupy such a place
fixes his place pretty clearly.
"The gold Democratic organization
has long ago fallen to pieces, owing
largely to the fact that Mr.. Bynum,
of Indiana, who was at the head of it,
did not possess the confidence of the
men who would give it position and
dignity before the country. AS Sena-
tor Bacon says, the vote on the Teller
resolution practically unifes the party
while it contributes to the disorder in
the Republican ranks"

NO BUGGY
ON THE MARKET

rs EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUG
i 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 presenta
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. 1t is LIGHT AND
STRONG and always built of the very
best material to be had, and in all stages
of its construction 1t is passed through
thorough, severe and critical inspection
by one whose first thought is to have il
built as near pefection as human skill can
accomplish. We make them to order

your interest to consult US when in need

LET THEM SEE 1T OUT.-Our Char.
lotte contemporaries are doing right
by the smallpox situation. We believe
they are printing the honest news, as
they said they would. They can still
further deserve favor and public con-
6dence if they will watch these cases
and, after their discharge, say whether
or not the disease left permanent pits
or scars, and if not, let the papers ad-
nit that the doctors lost their heads in
calling it smallpox. The only small.
pox that justifies such terrifying OF
the public is the kind that chews up a
fellows hide. beyond all recognition

spread out on him.-Gastonia, n. c.,
