The DISGRACE Should Stop.

The appearance of the blind tiger
in our midst can be seen nearly every
Sunday and whisky's work is wit
messed every day. The effect Of
whisky has become to be a nuisance
as we'll as disgrace to our community.
We venture the assertion that no
other town in the State permits such
disorderly conduct as is frequently
witnessed on our streets, especially
on Saturday evenings. We are abso-
lutely without police protection, and
our present town council is appear
antly supremely Indifferent about
enforcing the ordinances Of the town,
except it be levy a special tax,
the receipting for street dues and
the receiving of the towns share OF
the dispensary profits, which, accord
ing to the County Treasurer's an
nual report for the fiscal year ending
December 3lst, 1897, was S25l Sc,
which would nearly pay the salary Of
a good and efficient policeman. 1t
is time for the peace and law apid-
ing citizens who respect law and love
order to call halt even if they have
to take charge Of the town govern
ment.

A Clean Record.

Mr.. h. G. Bailey, now prominent
business man II Columbia, taught
school eleven years in Lexington
county, and was recognized as one OF
the b;st teachers in the county. At

Of the finest musicians in the county.
As dispenser in Columbia, the off,
cial records show that he made the
best and cleanest record of any dis
penser in the State. He has now
gone into the grocery business, and
as Charlie knows no such word as
"fail'' he is going to make another
record by his usual fair and honest

The Bee Hive Of Bargains.

sion We all have often heard in refer
eace to the industry of particular
person. We have never seen this
saying more str'kingly illustrated
than at o recent visit to the Globe
Dry Goods establishment in Colum
bia. While the clerks were kept
busy waiting on the great throng OF
customers who crowded. the store,
every one of them performed their
respective duties with clock work
precisionand like we'll drilled SOL
diers, the wants of the customers
were supplied without noise and con-
fusion. Mr.. Monckton, the popular,
pleasant and polite manager, is
hustler and allows no grass to grow
under his feet in the search of rare
bargains and unprecedented and un-
approachable values which be is
every day offering to the purchasing
public and this is one of the reasons
why his store is always crowded dur
ing the business hours with an1ious,
eager hunters after bargains in the
dry goods, notions and in fact every
conceivable thing found in a first
class department store. Mr.. Monck'
ton never allows customer to leave
bis establishment dissatisfied with
purchases which he knows it because
he buys his goods at small margin,
and sells them at still smaller one,
hence this is always a popular resort
for those who want the most goods
for the least money and they invari-
ably get what they want. The man
ager Of the Globe Dry Goods Com
pany will offer extraordinary induce
ments to the people of Lexington to
make their purchases at his store
and he will do his utmost to make
the visit of Lexingtoniau, both
pleasant and profitable. A cordial
invitation is extended to all and a
warm and hearty reception awaits
all who call. The misrepresentation
of goods just to sell them is never
allowed in this establishment e1d the
purchaser may rest easy that she has
received more than the full value of
her money, whether her purchase be
paper Of pins, or the most costly
dress pattern of the finest and most
delicate weave. Remember, that no
matter at what figures other estab-
lishments may offer goods, he is pre-
pared to duplicate the same class Of
goods and will not be undersold by
any one.
Country merchants are informed
that they can purchase job lots Of
all kinds Of dry goods, notions, CLOTH
ing and hats very cheap at the Globe
and that they will be so we'll pleased
with their bargains and treatment
that they will never 90 elsewhere to
purchase their stock. "The proof Of
the pudding is chewing the Bag" and
if you want to feel how delightful it
is to experience the pleasure Of hav-
ing obtained bargains, just do your
trading at the Globe and you will
have that feeling.
