To the Public:

Believing that my training in mer-
camille pursuits has fitted me to un-
dertake mercantile business vent
ure on my own account, and having
and abiding faith in those with
whom l have spent the whole of my
life, have decided to open up a gen.
eral mercantile business in the town
of Manning, opposite the court house,
where it is my purpose to establish
business which will give the trading
public every advantage that lifelong
experience and thorough kncwl-
edge of the wants of the people can
supply.
propose to do business upon busi-
ness principles and in accordance
with the demands of progressive com
petition. l do not expect to be here
today and somewhere else tomorrow,
but 1 have pitched my tent in my ma
tive county to stay.
In the selection of my stock l 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 most scrutinous public
that I 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-1 am
not built that way.
On every train my stock is arriv-
ing, and it comes from the very best
markets. All that I ask is for the
people to come to my store and in
spect for themselves. 1t will be my
earnest endeavor to bring to Man
ming trade which has heretofore
drifted to other markets and to ac-
complish this, I realize the founda-
ton must be laid at the beginning
by keeping up-to-date goods at up
to-date prices.
I cordially invite the people OF
Clarendon and adjoining counties to
come to my store, and if I 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.
n this announcement l will not at
tempt to particularize any special
line of goods, but when all of my
stock has arrived I shall quote prices
which will compare with any mer-
camille house doing a legitimate bus
mess in the State. I shall not adver-
tise an article at price less than the
wholesale cost, and ''be out Of 1t"
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 deceiving tactics.
This is no temporary venture on
my part; l have started this busl-
ness as my life's work, and with the
advantages am so fortunate to enjoy
I feel satisfied the people will give to
me all of the Encouragement my IA
cilities and energy will merit.

Preston B. Thames and Miss Hattie

ty, and the latter is a young lady

Following the opening call however, the market ruled easier under liquidation, as and the local traders became more or less disposed to hold off for the September gov ernment report from Washington.
 Local opinions on the report were con- fiicting. During the afternoon business was strictly local basis with variations slightly below the best. The market was finally quiet at net gain of l to points.

 @ In Glasgow a G15 householder obtains for 17d. per annum continuous, never failing, unrestrained stream of tho purest water in the world delivered right into his kitchen washhouse, and bath room. It is calculated that 3S0 gallons of pure water are delivered to the citizens of Glasgow for every penny paid. And 1t is water of such peculiar softness that the householders of Glasgow can pay their water rate out of what they save on soap.
 Loch Katrine water is not only soft-it Is remarkably bright, clear, and free from vegetable matter, because of the bare and precipitous character of the hills which drain into the loch. It Is uniform in color, temperature and quality, is absolutely free from pollution, and must remain so because the corporations have now bought up the building rights of the whole drainage area; it needs no Alteration and is practically un- affected by the change of seasons.

raIbott & paImer,s Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
 New Orleans September 5.-Early cables from Liverpool showed that market much better than expected, futures quoted two siXty-fourths up, with spots in moderate demand, sales 5000 bales at unchanged quotations. The weather south was also favorable to the bulls, the average rainfall for the entire belt being only i of an inch, while the temperature was again on the upgrade. Influenced by such results first prices here 5.69 for October showed an ad- vance of points over last nights closing. The opening figures. however, proved the highest of the session, there being more sellers than buyers. the market was grad ually let down until the noon hour showed a loss of points from the opening. The bureau report coming out at midday showed some improvement in crop condi- tions, taken as whole, and was considered bearish, this feature 1t seems will close the market on a level with last night, when all the advance will have been lost if we don't miss our guess. ..-f...l.5 t

Talbot & PaImer's too,, Letter

By .PrlVate Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, September 5-After opening Wlth an uncertain and somewhat unsettled tone the stock market developed strength and in number of instances pronounced advances were scored. The reopening of business after the holiday brought with it very little change in outside conditions. It had perhaps been expected that threat enng aspect of affairs in South Africa would have caused no little perturbation in the London market but as a matter of fact the quotations made at that point furnished no indication of any undue alarm there. Iondon's dealings in this market were on balance upon very small scale. very important circumstance in shaping the days sentiment was a renewal of pronounced strength in the Vanderbilt stocks. Despite denials and notwithstand- ing the absence of any confirmation of the riImors of consolidation of these lnes the level at which these rumors of consolida- tion of these lines, the level at which these securities are selling is a sufficient proof to the ordinary observer that some events of magnitude must be pending Anthra- cite coal stocks were also conspicuous, all the higher priced issues advancing sharply. Their caurse is accounted for by the fact that the outlook in the coal trade is more satisfactory than since 1892 Tennessee Coal and Iron again furnished an almost sensational advance which appeared to re- suit from buying for both accounts, the demand from the short being urgent. While it is understood that earnings of Tennessee Coal and Iron are exceedingly large it would be rather difficult to &C., count for the level of the stock unless up- on the assumption that the property is needed in the interest of some of the great iron and steel manufacturing companies.
