Profes sional mourners are still EN-.
ployed in Egypt, and when a person
dies they are hired to shrek and howl
before the house and at the funeral
to prove the grief Of the family. They
are lot Of vultures, and can scent
sorrow with extraordinary accuracy.

REMARKABLE
SALES DAY.
Maury Dry Goods Co., and Me-
KennOn. Anderson 4 FOS-
ter'S stores Packed and
Jammed.
fFrom Yesterdsv,s DaIIy }

The biggest sales day, perhaps. in
/ the history of Columbia took place
today at the stores of the MauIy Dry
Goods Co.. and McKennon, Anderson
* Fosters. All morning long, and
well into this afternoon both establish
ments were crowded with people,
anxious to take advantage of the re-
markable reduction in prices. 1t was
almost impossible TO pass through
either store, so great was the rush.
At the Maury Dry Goods Company 5
it was estimated that at one time
there were 200 persons in the store,
and at McKennon, Anderson 81 Fos-
tiers the jam was the same. AT the
latter store, large crowd of women
gathered early this morning before the
doors were opened, and waited pa
tiently until the time arrived for the
bargains to begin. Each store had
aboi twenty additional clerks, and
then the trade could not be waited
upon.
At the Maury Dry Goods store a
feature of the sales were the ten min
ute sales. For instance, special
article would be offered for limited
number of minutes, mostly ten, at a
special price. When that time was
up, the sale on that article at the price
offered was over. Nothing like the
rush in either store has ever been seen
in Columbia.
Both sales were advertised in the
Herald The Herald, therefore, did
it all. 1t certainly pays to advertise
and the Herald is the medium that
gets results.
The occasion of the big sales were
the famous mill End Sales" at the
Maury Dry Goods Co.'S. and the

Nominating speeches. says the
Nashville News, "are not held strictly
to the plainest statements of fact,
but Gov Blacks tide of eloquence
yesterday surged over the high-water
mark of eulogy at more than one
point. To name Roosevelt with Lin
coin was a stupidity, for compared
with the latter, Teddy looks but a
staggering upstart. The President
does not lack his friends and admirers,
but the most ardent among them can
not find in him any of the qualities
which made Lincoln great. Two more
dlsslmilar personalities never sat in
the presidential chair than Abraham
Lincoln, simple. homely in habit and
speech, transformations and patient in
spirit, and wise and generous IN plan
and action. and Theodore Roosevelt,
pretentious, arrogant, vain and reck-
less. -
