FOR CASH ONLY.

ANDERSON, Nov. IA, 1893.
We have learned by experience that
the business methods of the majority
of people to whom we have extended
credit are altogether too loose, and as
we find this condition Of affairs is be-
and after this date, conduct our prac-
ticc wholly for cash. In. conformity
with this intention, we hereby give
notice to that effect BY adopting that
method. we will defend ourselves from
that undesirable element of fashion
able, we'll dressed dead beats, living on
what they owe. and from that class
VIII" do not dress SO fine. but have no
regard tor their promises. Thus we
ill avoid making bad debts for which
he paying class will not have to pay,
and, too. giving lis more time to work
for the better class.
We realize that we will work for
fewer people, and will lose Il few of
our customers. whom we prize very
highly, but we will have more money.
and not be so rushed. Now, we wish
lively refuse the invitation to do any
work on time. therefore we beg You
not to ask us for credit. If you are of
the better class. "by which we mean
the paying class" that we sDeak of. we
will be glad to see you. But if you be-
long to that undesirable element men
toned, we will not be glad to see you,
nor would we work for you knowingly.
We are yours respectfully,
STRICKLAND & KING.
u. S. In order to meet our own obi
cations and maintain our credit, it is
incumbent upon us to collect our out
standing accounts; and we will allow
no sentimental consideration to stand
i'll the way, therefore we insist that all
who are indebted to either of the fol-
lowing, Strickland & Anderson. y. {.
Strickland, Strickland g. Whteticld, or
to Strickland Il King. come and pay us
now us all accounts that arc not paid,
or so arranged for us to get the money
on them by the first of January, 1899,
will be advertised and sold to the high
est bidder. We mean to do Just what
We say, and VIC most positively will not
carry these accounts longer; therefore
il YOU regard your promises anything.
or have any respect for your credit,
come and pay lis now. We did your
work and trusted to your honor to pay
us. Respectfully,

ed to The deadly fever.
The negro preachers of the city OF
New York held IL meeting last week
and in very bitter speeches denounced
tho white people of both North and
South Carolina. Ono Df them advised
the lynching of Senator Tillmnn and
other prominent leaders in both States.
Now, these negroes ought to practice
what they preach. Yes, come down
and try your hand ON Senator Tillman
or any other prominent white man
The negroes would probably have an
interesting story to relate when they
got back home.
New York can change its politics
with greater facility than any other
State in the Union. In clccting Ro0sc-
welt by 81 majority of 10000 in the re-
cent election it upset II Democratic
plurality Of iO.MO given IL year ago in
The result in 1897 was IL radical re-
vcrSal al the vote in 1896. when Ne
knlrl carried The State hy 2Ga, ,UOn ma
.loriiy, and HAT WAS again an ovcrtrrn-
ing III the state n! the vote us it stood
in 1892, when the Democrats carried
the State hy $1,000.
The probability of an extra session of
Congress i'll the Spring is much stronger
now that it is certain that the Rcpubli-
cans will have Il majority of the next
House. 1t has been regarded as i'm
probable ever since the close of the
war that Congress will he able ut the
coming short session to act upon all
the legislation made necessary by tho
war, in addition to the regular appro-
priatiOn bills and routine business, hut
it was thought that an extra session
would depend largely upon the control
of the next House. Had the Rcpmbli-
cans lost it tho administration would
have done every thing possible to avoid
nn extra session. by trying to push
through at the short session all the
Legislation needed to carry ont its
policy, colonial and otherwise. Now,
nO haste will he necessary, and should
tho present Senate not meet the adj
ministration's expectations in acting
upon bills that go through tho House,
tho President will doubtless feel that
an extra session of Congress will do MS
he wishes. as his party will have q
large majority in the Senate after next
March. The administration will there
fore be Indifferent rs to an extra ses-
sion, knowing that if the last session
of the present Congress doesn't net
upon needed legislation, an extra ses-
sion of the next Congress win.~

feet inches, stationary. RAINY Cant
Crockard states that from rho in fo1.,,5a.
ton he received from above YESTERDAY,
morning that it would be wise for neo-
pie living III the low districts to make
preparations Tor about As feet. He
stated that the rains Tuesday night
and yesterday morning were general
at the headwaters and very hard
along the Allegheny. He further $40
that the Allegheny was DOING eTaar
deal OF the mischief and that a staoa
OF Is feet s inches at Parkers was an
unusually large amount of water FAT
that point and will certainly canea IL,
ugly river. 1t is not as high af psr-
kers as it was in 1884. but ahout no
high as in '91. The side streams III.
tween Wheeling and Pittsburu are aid.
ing greatly in the swell. The caDtai,,
received report about 1880 yester-
day morning stating that the river Al
Pittsburg was rising at the rate "a
five inches an hour and had then
reached a stage of &c feet , inches
The report further stated that 30 fees
was expected at Pittsburg by evening
and that the Beaver river was rlnninS
cuG dI 81 hNSiy ldIe. ne captain re.
ceived another report from headwaters
at 3 o'clock saying the water at Pitts.
burg had reached q feet 10 inches and
that it would reach 80 feet by even
ing. At this hour the Allegheny was
still coming up with IA feet at Par
kers and 10 feet inches at Oil CITY.
The captain stated that the differences
in the stages at Pittsburg and Wheel
ing were about ten feet, without con-
sidering what the side streams would
do. By this report, the river here will
certainly reach AZ feet, while three
feet and probably more may be added
to this stage, as the side streams ara
all on a BOOM
At $50 p. m. two estimates were re-
ceived at the wharf OF what the stage
will be at Pittsburg. Woods & Sons
telephoned that they believed 80 feet
would be reached at ittsburg. while
lutte & Co. are expecting 81 feet.
AT 10 D. N. the river had reached a
stage of Al feet 6 inches and ives
sweeping over the p. c., c. & st. l..
wall and had nearly entirely suhmerg-
ed Water Street to the sidewalk ana
was creeping up Twelfth street. Tho
p, G., C. & st. L. tracks for a consid-
cradle distance above the lower end
Of the railroad wall are submerged.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-03-24

The advices from Pittsburg at two
o'clock this morning were that the
river is still rising there at the rate
OF two inches an hour, with twenty
nine feet nine inches showing by the
marks and indications that there
would be thirty-three feet to-day as
the maximum The Register doubts
this prediction, however.
This expectation. if realized. would
indicate forty-fye to forty-seven feet
here; but the rate of rise at the wharf
in this city this morning two
inches per hour-and the cessation of
the rain, makes it almost certain hat
there will not be as much water at
Wheeling as the reports from above
would indicate. and it is doubtful II
over forty-four feet will be reached
People should be prepared for a foot
more however, and then they will be
On the safe side.

THE STORY OF THE FLOOD.

The Island Was Hair Submerged by Dark.
The south Side in Bad Shape-Bnsiness
Ia the Wholesale District Suspended.
The Work of Rescuing Property and
Goods
Yesterday was not the first of April,
yet many persons moved their house
hold Lares and Penats.
They set about the work early il
The morning. and kept it up all day.
They had to- The raging Ohio was
on tear, and as no man could tell
where the rising waters would stop,
every one took all reasonable precau-
lions TO put portable property beyond
the reach of the flood.
And the move in the direction of
safety was by no means confined to the
Island. 1t was equally marked in the
Wholesale business distfict and on the
South Side. In fact, no portion of the
city lying below the fifty foot water
level was exempt, and there was
general hustle all along the line in the
exposed and threatened district.
THE FEELING OF ALARM
hrSt manifested itself Tuesday night
late. when number of astute and far
seeing business men made the first
move in the direction of the safety of
lhelr property. BY three O'Clock in
the morning others had realized there
was possibility of danger, and by five
O'Clock a sort of general alarm had
peen sent out, and many of those in
responsible positions in the largs
Wholesale and jobbing houses were on
auty, endeavoring to ascertain the
worst, and getting in touch with the
forces of employees.
When daylight came the steadily ris-
ING water and the threatening skies
hes2n to alarm residents on low
ground both on the South Side and on
me Island, and as soon as it was light
enough to view the decidedly damp
'andscape DER, it was seen that the
air Grounds were flooded, that the
water was crawling into "Stonetown,'
mat the old fair grounds district was
