To the Public:

Believing that my training in mer-
camille pursuits has fitted me to un-
dertake a mercantile business vent
ure on my own account, and having
and abiding faith i'll those with
whom l have spent the whole of my
life, have decided to open up gen
eral mercantile business III the town
OF Manning. opposite the court house,
where it is my purpose to establish a
business which will give the trading
public every advantage that lifelong
experience and a thorough knowl-
edge Of the wants of the people can
supply.
| propose to do business upon busl
ness principles and in accordance
with the demands of progressive com
petition. do not expect to be here
today and somewhere else tomorrow,
but l have pitched my tent in my ma
tive county to stay.
In the selection of my stock feel
sure of being able to please the most
exacting, both as to style and quail
ity, and as to quantity, there will be
no complaint on that score as the
markets of the world are open to me,
and my purchases already made will
convince a most scrutinous public
that am prepared to meet competl-
ton from whatever source it may
come, and that those who have been
posing before the people as ''leaders"
may we'll look to their laurels, as do
not intend to be found in the rear
rank in this mercantile battle-l am
not built that way.
On every train my stock is arriv-
ing, and it comes from the very best
markets. All that l ask is for the
people to come to my store and IN
spect for themselves. It will be my
earnest endeavor to bring to Man
ming trade which has heretofore
drifted to other markets and to &C
complish this, l realize the founda-
ton must be laid at the beginning
by keeping up-to-date goods at up
to-date prices.
l cordially invite the people OF
Clarendon and adjoining counties to
come to my store, and if l do not con-
vince them of my ability to sell them
goods at prices to induce them to
buy from me, will acknowledge the
fault to be mine.
In this announcement will not at
tempt to particularize any special
line of goods, but when all Of my
stock has arrived shall quote prices
which will compare with any mer-
camille house doing legitimate bus
mess in the State. shall not adver-
tise an article at a price less than the
wholesale cost, and "be out OF it"
when the purchaser calls for it; those
tricks can only work for short time
and are bound to react upon those
who resort to such deceiyipg tactics.
This is no temporary venture on
my part; l have started this busi-
ness as my life's work, and with the
advantages am so fortunate to enjoy
l feel satisfied the people will give to
me all of the encouragement my ia
cilities and energy will merit.
have secured the services of Mr..
Preston B. Thames and Miss Hattie
Bagnal to assist me; the former is a
man of experience and needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of this coun-
ty, and the latter is a young lady
well qualified and will make my lady
customers feel at home when they
visit my store. Respectfully,
LOUIS LEVI.

LAW CAUSES LYNCHING,
JUDGE HILLYER DISCUSSES THE
GREAT EVIL.
DiStruSt Of Courts Has Caused the
People to Grow Festive. Revision

of Criminal Procedure Necessary.
AT the Georgia State Baptist Convention
in Savannah last week Judge Hillyer,
ex-mayor of Atlanta and formerly on the
bench of the superior court, presented
a report from the committee on crimes
and lynchings.
After reading the report the Judge
gave some startling figures upon the in
crease of crime, urging the ccnsidera-
ton of the question upon the church
and suggesting that as the law was slow
theIlegisIative body be appealed to to note
the facts and figures, and to urge action
upon that body, reminding them of the
army of voters presenting the appeal.
Judge Hillyer SAID that in the United
States there were more homcldes than
in Scotland, England and Prussia. The
matter Lad been brought before the bar
associations in 1894 and 1896 In 1894
there were 3 1000 hsmicides in the United
States, and in 1896 there were 10000
In the past year more homcides were
committed IN the United States than
were killed in Cuba and more than fell
at Gettysburg, or in the Philippines.
People were losing confidence because the
laws slowness and lack of interest in the
public mind. The press has been re-
markably quick in bringing the matter
to the attention of the public, but the
ease with which the verdicts are set
aside in the court room and the facility
with which notorious criminals escape
punishment have brought much of this
about. The amount of crime is iDcreas>
ing, and it seems that the criminal is the
Only one that has any rights. The people
are .Cs ling confidence in the effectiveness
of the law to punish criminals. Hence
the increase in lynchngs.
Judge Hillyer said that although he
had twice brought this matter before
the bar associations they had taken no
action. He now appealed from the bar to
the church to aid in correcting this great
evil.
The resolutions call upon the legsla-
tLTe to so amend the code of criminal
procedure and enlarge the powers Of the
courts SO aa to let all men know that The
law is willing and able 20 do immediat,
and thorough justice in every case. They
assert that ynchings are a result of dis
trust 'u the promp!nesS and efficacy OF
the legal machinery.

zer and said: "Gps, / am going mad. +"
With that he began beating himself on
the head with paper weight Unable
to restrain him, young Wertheim and
Politzer rushed out to get help: The
frenzied man then broke out pane of
glass in one"cf' the office windows and

DEAF, DUMB AND AN IDIOT.
sadly Unfortunate Condition of the Heir to thc English Duke
 of Norfolk.

The coming of age of the earl of Arundel, son of the duke of Norfolk, the premier peer of England, is sud episode of the year, says the New York Times. The boy is said to be idiotic and deaf and dumb. For wears the father, a stanch Roman Cath olic. has frequented Lourdrs and other shrincs with his son, but in vain, and prayers have been offered for him in numerous conyenIs and churches and yotiye offerings made. He has em- nlopcd the best medical talent, but there seems 10 be no improvement in the boys condition. He is devoted to him. The duke of Norfolk is a com paratiyely young man, little over 50 years of age. He is widower, and has neyer seemed to want to marry again. lis brother, who was Cardinal How ard. lost his mind shortly before he died. Arundel castle. in Sussex, is one of the great showhouses of England. Some years ago rumor was started that the duke of Norfolk was pay.ng devoted attention to Miss Virginia Mc-
 guvish. of Baltimore. Mrs. and Miss McIayish have lived abroad for several wears. making their winter residence ln Rome, where they have become iden- rfied with the Blacks" or the papal arisiocracy, which is the most GXclu- siye in the holy city.
