neighboring town and country people
should be invited to visit our city
during the fall and winter months
to reap the benefits of the bargains
that arc continually being offered by
our merchants.
Again. excursions should run into
the city from surrounding points and
visitors who purchase W to a certain
amount should be given free car fare.
In fact every feasible plan to bring
trade to the city should be put into
operation by our merchants. They
have the goods and their trade terri
tory should not be limited to or 10
miles from the city. Let our busi-
nese men and merchants get together
and by concerted action draw to the
city next fall and winter the biggest
trade ever known in its history.

A Bargain Center

The Fair, known also as the Rob
inson Bankrupt Store, is the greatest
bargain cente- in Greenville. Every
week the proprietors of this store re-
ceive new goods bought at bankrupt
failures throughout the country and
place them on sale here at from 10 to
to IS per cent. less than the same
goods can be purchared from the other
stores in the city.
That The Fair has struck the popu-
lar chord is proved by the large num-
Der of traders that visit it daily. Right
now they are carrying on sale that
if for nothing else is remarkable for
the low prices asked for their goods.
If you have never taken advantage of
any of The Fairs bankrupt sales, you
should do so at once and ask their &C.
commodating clerks the money saving
bargains offered.

The continual rains are giving the
planters more work than they bar

growing very fast and unless we get
few days of sunshine it will soon
cover the cotton fields. The shade
from the large cotton stalks will
cheek the growth of the weeds to some
extent, but still it will call for all

Omaha than he HES away to New
York, hires hall, assemblies a RABBI
and assails the organized Democracy
of the Empire State like any Republi
can or Populist or other enemy
though no one has impeached the
regularity of the ORTHODOXY of the
New York Democracy, while theil
preference for president, Judge Alton
Brooks Parker, is an eminent and
life-l long Democrat who supported
Mr.. Bryan both in 1896 and in 1900.
There can be no mistaking the
meaning of such demonstrations.
The ought to make it plain to Dem
ocrats everywhere that Mr.. Bryan
means mischief and only mischief.
He goes to St. Louis to stir up strife.
In short and in fine, the sum and sub
stance OF it is this-that, seeing in
Judge Parker the strongest symbol of
a reunited Democracy seeing in him
possible nominee and the head of a
probably successful Democratic ticket,
Mr.. Bryan makes him the object of
particular attack, singles him out
from among those he has blacklisted
or an extra coat of tar, and will APP
pear at st. Louis expecting to get in
the entering wedge of his predeterm-
ined work of discord and ruin under
the ribs of the eminent New Yorker,
Whose only otfense seems to be that
he voted for Mr.. Bryan both in 1896
and 1900, and that, being chief JUS
tice of the supreme court of the EN-
pire State, he resolutely, chastely
and wisely refuses to step down from
that lofty pedestal into the bull-ring
Of self-seeking contention and be-
come party to a regular babble of
tongues, the loudest of which is that
of MI Bryan himself.
Nothing more dlSruptable has ever
come about in American politics. If |
one could credit Mr.. Bryan with the
least sincerity if he had any tangi-
Die objective point or reasonable al
if he could even trump
l decent preteXt. Nothing of the
Kind shows either above or below the
urface of Mr.. Bryan's surprising fol-
y, malerolence and disloyalty.
Happy, indeed, are those who are
nut of politics; yet manhood is still
manhood; honor is still honor; and
ruth is still truth. How different
ii this might have been! Mr.. Bry-

PRESIDENT REVOKES
ORDER OF M'KINLEY
Gifts from Army and Navy Off
GERS No Longer to Be Admitted
Free of Duty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE President
to-day issued an executive order revOking
those of President Mckinley allowing gifts
from officers of the army and navy and
the civic establishment in Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines, etc, 10 be admitted
into the United States free of duty. Fol-
lowing is the order: 1T appearing that the
conditions nc longer exist which prompted
the issuance of executive orders of Nov. A..
1893, and Nov. q. 1900. subjecting TO the
domestic postal regulations of the United
States only gifts or souvenirs forwarded
through the mails by officers, soldiers, sail
ors and civil employees, serving in Porto
Rico, Cuba, Guam, the Philippine islands
and China, to members Of their families in
the United States. and vice versa, the said
orders are hereby revoked.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
1t is understood that the privileges grant
ed by President McKinley's orders have
been greatly abused of late and hat the
real purpose of these orders, which was TO
allow the volunteer soldiers. sailors and
others in the government service in Cuba,
China and our island possessions TO send
presents to the members of their immediate
families at Christmas time free of duty,
has been lost sight of, and that large guam
titles of goods of every description are
constantly being forwarded to this country
in fragrant violation of the letter and spirit
of President McKinley's orders. Hence their
revocation.

DICK MAY Be ELECTED
AS HANNA'S SUCCESSOR
Herrick Is Not Likely to Surren-
der the Governorship for a Seat
in the Senate.
AN INTERESTING STORY

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. I7.-There is a
growing feeling here that the question of a
successor to United States Senator Hanna
will not precipitate such a fight as had been
expected. 1t is now believed that when the
time for the balloting arrives Congressman
Charles Dick viii prove TO be the man. II
Republicans are expected TO caucus a week
from the coming Saturday night and it is
believed they will decide to elect a senator
for both the long and the short terms,
despite the fact that their right to elect for
the long term at this time is questioned.
A leader, high in the Republican party,
to-day told an interesting story which
makes it reasonable to believe that Dick
will be the man chosen as senator. The
story, as told, conforms to certain known
facts. The gentleman said that a week be-
fore the last Republican state convention
was held in Columbus a conference oc-
CURED at a residence in Akron between
Hanna. Herrick and Dick. Senator Hanna
at that time had miSgivings as 10 the time
he had to live and said to Herrick and Dick
that he considered them as his boys, and
expected them to take up his work, which
they both knew. With respect to Herrick
it is said that Hanna was following out Nc
Kinley's wishes in taking care of the pres
ent Governor. There was a demand for
recognition for Warren b. Harding that
was too strong to be overlooked, and it was
deISCu III II III NhdN GIN
should be the nominee for Governor with
Harding for the second place. There was a
distinct understanding that Herrick should
not voluntarily relinquish the Governors
chair. as that would throw the office into
the hands of the Foraker element of the
party by making Harding Governor. There
were certain agreements to be carried out
and a change in the Governors office would
violate these offices. Hanna was anxious
to carry Cuyahoga. county and by making
the concession to his opponents in Hard
ing's nomination ne believed that he would
be able &c do so.
For this reason it is believed that Gov
ernor Herrick cannot entertain for an in
slant the idea of entering the Senate. and
Hanna followers, including Herrick himself,
must support Dick for the senatorship.
While many names are being mentioned. all
are mere speculations, and those who give
the situation serious consideration are grow
ing firmer in the belief that Dick will be
the man.

STATE WILL NOT TRY
MRS. HOSSACK AGAIN
She Is Permitted to Go Free on the
Charge of Having Murdered
Her Husband.

WINTERSET, Ia, Feb. 17.-Mrs. Mar
garet Hossack, tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to prison for life for the murder Of
her husband on Dec. 2. 1900, is to-day a free
woman. On motion of the State, the case
in rehearing was stricken from the docket.
and the defendant discharged.
The crime for which Mrs. Hossack was
given a life sentence at Anamoso was one
of the most atrocious in criminal annals.
Her husband, an aged man, was murdered
with an AK while he lay sleeping. She
aroused the household at 2 o'clock in the
morning, claiming that someone had en-
tered the house and struck the blow. a
day later she was arrested at her husbands
grave, tried and sentenced for life. A new
trial was granted, and a disagreement re-
suited. A third trial resulted similarly. and
the State concluded it was a waste of funds
RI again try the case.
