Powers of Erskine's Worthy Sons.

Hon. James Wilson, of Iowa, member OF
President McKinley's cabinet, has accepted
an ivitation to visit Due West the 2Sth OF
April.
A contest In oratory. participated In by
every college 10 the State. each OF which will

in the Eskine auditorium on that date and
Secretary Wilson, having been requested to

Big Fire.

The Windsor Hotel in New York was burn
ed last Friday. 1t was an immense structure,
and filled with many guests. About forty
persons lost their lives, and about an equal
number were more or less injured. Many
thrilling stories are told Of the sad occurrence,
and many fireman proved himself true
hero in saving those who were exposed TO the
flames. The hotel was in a fashionable part
OF the city, ana the guests were among the
rich and the Understanding citizens. A man
with cigarette threw the stump of his lighted
match down, when the lace curtains OF q
window blazed. and In forty-fiye minutes the
great structure was In ruins, and eighty of its
inmates were dead or wounded, The burning
building, the distress OF the inmates, their
fatal flight from high windows to the side
walks below, the bravery of the ffremen In
rescuing others, made a scene never TO be for
gotten.

Home Buyers League.

II Is noticed that the ladies In some Of the
cities are taking formal action, looking TO the
giving OF their entire trade to home mer.
chants. When home merchants are dealt
with they provide better stocks and are better
able to answer the demands of their neigh.
bors.
Customers very often pay very dearly
for orders sent to distant cities. To send bust
ness away from the doors of our neighbors is
very often a disadvantage to buyers, and
1t is always an act of unkindness, where
by the business tact Of home people, and the
welfare OF the home town Is discounted, The
man who sends off for what he can buy at
home acts in a way which would not support
his own town, and the trades people often
feel, and sometimes express, contempt for
the neighbor who sends of his money for less
advantageous bargains.
Abbeville has plenty of merchants, and
some of them can certainly supply any de.
mand for dress goods. and whoever sends off
for them does foolish thing and invites
home. A Georgia paper, on this subject
says:
We are pleased to note that the ladies of a
NUMBER OF southern cities have organized
buyers league, for the purpose OF making or.
ganized efforts to induce at home people to
patronize the home market. When the Ia.
dies Of a city or community undertake a
thing, they generally make success Of IT..
We would like to see the ladies OF Abbeville
organize a buyers league. Concert OF action
on their part would be not only patriotic. but
would so increase the business OF the home
merchants that they would be able to carry
better assorted stocks OF goods, which they
could sell at even lower prices than they are
now doing. In an article on this line The
Augusta Herald says: There is always GER
tain number of people in every community
who think that nothing they get at home Is
as good as If they had bought 1t In the east
If they are sincere, how can they ever expect
conditions to be better, since 1t would be
folly for a local merchant to lay in q stock Of
goods OF a character which people persist In
buying In the east?"
1.-The Herald is right. With patriotic wo-
men, making all Of their purchases at home,
our merchants would take pleasure In bring.
ing on from the eastern markets the best and
finest materials to be had. They would mark
their goods down to the lowest notch, the
volume of trade would be enlarged and
fresh impetus be given our comm ercial life.
