EUROPEANS HELPING THE BoERs.-
So many French officers have resigned
their commissions 10 60 to the aid o.
the Beers, says Paris dispatch, thai
the government is considering means
of putting stop to this sentiment fol
war that has developed rapidly. Sc
far 211 men have given up places in
the French service and taken service
with the Beers.
To Colonel De Villebois- Mareull
chief of staff to General Joubert, has
been credited all along the victo
ry of Colenso, and now it is practical
ly certain that General Drailmont, one
of the cleverest of the Belgian engin
eers, laid out before the war started
several campaigns that could be adap
ted to suit the exigences of the situa
ton.
There is also good basis for saying
that the Beers have plenty of ammu
milton, having had 100,000,000 rounds
when war was declared. Of the sup
ply not more than 30,000,000 rounds
have been used.

THE ATTACK ON LADYsMITH.-A
London dispatch of January 8, says
that mail advices have been received
of the Boer attack on Ladysmith on
January 6. The attack seems to have
been made on two widely separated
points at the same time, and to q
large extent was successful sur.
prise. The British outposts were
driven back but just about that
time the artillery began to get in it its
work and the Beers were unable to
bring up their reserves on account oi
the fierce storm of shrapnel that was
hurled against them. Two companies
of Gordon Highlanders were captured
by the Beers. The fighting of the
Beers is described as heroic. The
losses were quite heavy on both sides
but no figures were given.

High Manurlng Experiment.
News and Courier: Mr.. c. l.. Bur-
nett, of the historic Cowpen's dis.
trict, our Spantanburg correspondent
reports, made a very interesting ex.
pertinent in intensive farming, or
"high manuripg" last year, with in
structive results. He put little more
than eight sacks of "the guano," cost.
ing altogether, $17, broadcast on one
and one.eighth acres, which had been
sub-soiled, and obtained from the tract
cotton and seed worth $3.50. De.
ducting expenses the "net result" was
S3O.19. On two.acre lot he spread
1S sacks "of guano," costing S24.7O.
The cotton and seed brought SlOO;
the total expense was $50.50; the net
profit was $4950.
Dismissed In Disgrace.
Washington correspondence of The
News and Courier: 1t was announ-
ced at the navy department Wednes-
day, that Cadet J. F. Maxwell, of
South Carolina, has been dishonorably
dismissed from the naval academy at
Annapolis. This is the result of the
inquiry into the Christmas trouble at
Annapolis, in which young Maxwell
figured. At first the cadet claimed
that he was not an active participant
in the episode which led to his investi-
CATION, and it was his effort to get at
the bottom of the trouble that led to
the controversy which Congressman
Latimer had with Admiral McNair,
the commandant of the academy.
Later, however, Maxwell acknowl-
edged fuller completely in the affair
than he did at first and the result is
his dismissal.
dL Duc "Cb"
Associate Reformed Presbyterian !:
Our community was favored few
days ago with visit from two Nor
mon missionaries who were anxious to
convert us from the errors ofour ways
into the true faith. They did not stay
long. Perhaps this does not seem a
very promising field to cultivate.
They could get no place in which to
preach but distributed some of their
literature. Their confession of faith is
very much after the order of baited
fish hook. There is nothing immoral
in it. A good deal of it is Scripture.
There is not the remotest reference to
polygamy. They believe in virtue
and purity and everything of that
kind. But the fish line is there.
They believe the Book of Mormon to
be the Word of God equally with the
Bible, and also believe in revelations
yet to be made. What those revela-
tions will be we may judge from those
that have been made to Joseph Smith,
Brigham Young, aud others. When
one swallows that article of their creed !,
he is like fish that has swallowed a
hook. He can be drawn anywhere.
Mormonism is Mormonism just as real
ly when it is coated over with Scrip
ture as when it is seen in all its naked

THE GANSON DRY GOODS co.


THE GANSON DRY GOODS co.
TIA always had prestige for good
Goods selling and LOW PRICES that
their would-be competitors all attempt to
decry, through jealous envy and malice !;
but the people, after an experience of six
years with our firm, cannot be fooled, as
is evidenced by the tremendous sales in
our store during the last week and
since our SLAUGHTER SALE COM
menced, and which will be continued
during the BALANCE OF JANUARY.
Can the people be fooled? Not much |!
They know that our trade and purchases
have been so large that we can't afford
to DICKER AND TRADE, and when
they see our marks on an article,
that the price, ordinarily, Is settled,
that the styles are right, and that the
goods have a value which cannot be
obtained at the common stores which
attempt to compete with us in this
territory.
We buy goods to our advantage at all
times, AND WE SELL THEM TO THE
ADVANTAGE OF OUR PATRONS,
as our ever increasing trade and business,
and especially for the past week, will
abundantly testify.
Last week we commenced Slaughter
Sale at prices which have even shaken the
nerves of the 'iron-will' firm Of the
Ganson Dry Goods Company, and which
has sent a thrill of dismay and terror to
the hearts of small shop-keepers, which
will be remembered as "Black Friday"
in the epoch of their lives and business
records. We have always held that the
interests of our patrons are paramount,
and that our own interest was merely
secondary.
Last week we commenced our merciless
Slaughter Sale, which to those who have,
and will take advantage of, will derive
benefits which they need not reasonably
expect to obtain again within 20 years.
This Slaughter Sale, which will continue
only during January, is A DEAD OUT
ON OUR PART to raise
money quick, and it can rightly, and we
say with all candor, that 1T IS A
SALE which we can
say that it will require months to
regain our losses; but since we have
been THE PEOPLES FRIENDS in
the past, we will not now turn our
backs on them in times of trials, and we
challenge all rivals to follow us in our
present slashing and daring price-cutting
slaughter.
The crops havebeen short, and our pur-
chases were made before the crop was
picked; and since we have been most
kindly treated by the good people Of this
section for the past six years, we do say
that we will slaughter EVERYTHING
IN OUR STORE during the remainder
of the month at from 10 to 80 per cent. be-
low its value. THIS SALE WILL BE
A DEAD OUT SACRIFICE to us, and a
grand gift carnival to our patrons, and they
should not be slow to avail themselves of
this opportunity, probably the last chance
for such values for years to come.
The trade of the United States, includ-
ing the export business, has been so enor-
nous during the last six months, that
have sold their products at
advanced prices from six to nine months
ahead Of production, and if you have AN
EYE TO MONEY SAVING, you should
act now, while the month of January is
here, and during the greatest Cut Price
