FRIDAY, OCTOBER IA.

We are more and more convinced
eve,v time the question comes up
that the law providing for these eS-
-. and special terms of court should
be repealed. They accomplish
very little any way. II the
reo,,lar courts are not sufficient
for the discharge of the business then
the thing to do is to establish more
,eo,,lar courts. If we recall correct
l., there was no regular civil court IN
Newberry at the last term ana II
was decided then that there would
be no regular court but an extra
term Of two weeks would be asked
for TO be held in October. The
special term was ordered and the
snecial Judge appointed. 1t held one
week and then it was discovered on
r,otion Of Mr.. T. P. Cothran that the
;,,rv ;:'fc for the first week could not
sarve for the second and the judge
ordered that the motion was well
taken and the jury was not legal
one for the second week. The two
sections Of the law relating to the
drawing of the jury are printed else
where After looking at them care
fu,1v we are convinced that the point
is we'll taken. The act says that
not less than ten nor more tnan
twenty day Us before the first day OF
each week of any regular or special
term Of the circuit courts OF the
said county the auditor, the county
treasurer and the clerk of the court
Of common pleas, shall proceed IN
like manner to draw thirty six jurors
to serve for such week only"
Section II OF the same act seems
to have misled the jury COMMISSION
It saws that no more than thirty SIX
persons, to serve as petit Jurors, shall
be drawn and summoned to attend
at one: and the same time at any
court" It seems to have been the
conclusion that this was only one
court, though called for two weeks
and that therefore only thirty six per-
sons should be drawn as petit jurors.
It seems to us that the language
quoted above is perfectly clear that
Jury should be drawn for each
week and that they should serve for
such week only.
The remedy is to abolish the act
providing for these special terms and
let the business be transacted at the
reu,11or terms

Our Business Methods.

Our aim in business is to deal hon
estly with the trade and to sell them
reliable merchandise at the lowest cash
prices. We do not care to do a credit
business or to mark our goods on
credit basis, therefore, you will find in
visiting our store that we ask you all
one price, and that price you will find
lust as low, if not little lower, than
you can buy the same class Of goods
anywhere. It has been claimed by
some that you cannot have one price
in Newberry, that the people have been
educated in late years to expect you to
take less than you ask them at first;
in other words, if you can afford to sell
shoe, or hat, or a pair of pants at
S. 90 cash, mark them $3.50, then if
your customer asks you to charge them
get 81. so, but if you can't get $3.50 or
S. 25, take $500. This is not our way,
and looking at it from our standpoint it
would not be right, as we believe we
owe it to our customers and to the
trade to mark all our goods just as low
as we can sell them and treat all alike.
Let the change of price be an excep-
ton rather than rule, and by getting
the volume of business, making small
profit on each one, win the confidence
of the trade and hold it for years: We
believe that the more you investigate
our methods. the better you will like to
trade with US, especially so, when you
have orders to fill and haven't the time
to look all around, when you are 20
busy this fall, you can always feel sure
that you are getting the right prices
on everything you buy from Us.
SPECIAL.
In order to induce you to concentrate
your business with us, until further
notice, we will allow yoc CT all pur-
chases of ten dollars and over, made at
one time, a cash discount of five per
cent. Come and see US often.
