| l6 or IS years and have been engaged
in the clothing business ever since.
They have grown up with the business
and have kept abreast of the times.
Their long experience and knowledge
of the business has put them in posi-
tion to select the best goods in their
line and the goods that they handle are
the equal of any on the market. In
clothing their leading lines are manu-
factured for them by the Fechhemler,
Fischel Co., of New York, and Hart,
Schetfner & Marx, of Chicago; in hats
their leading lines are made by Knox
and Hawes; in furnishing goods they
handle the line of Wilson Bros, OF
Chicago. the leading dealers in furnish
ing goods in the United States, and in
shirts their favorite brands are the Cos
mopolitan and the Eclipse. In all de-
partments they seek to carry full and
complete assortment and every article
is guaranteed to be exactly as repre-
sented, 2,nd herein lies the secret of the
success Of this establishment.

IN NEW QUARTERS.
The D. J.. Chandler Clothing Company in Its
New Home.

The D. J. Chandler Clothing Com
pany now occupy the Ryttenberg build
ing on the n. W. Corner OF Main
and Liberty streets, having removed
iron the old stand on the east side of
North Main street last week. The
Rvttenberg store, which has been leas-
ed for term of ten years, was thorough
" renovated and reftted,. and the in
terror is now as bright and fresh as
paint and varnish and new fixtures
could make it.
In their new stand the Chandler
Clothing Company has one of the larg-
est, best lighted and most conveniently
arranged clothing establishments in
South Carolina, and the stock of cloth
ing and furnishing goods, which is now
being opened, is probably the largest
and handsomest ever brought to this
city by one firm. Not only the first
floor, but the'second floor as well, is fill
ed with goods, conveniently arranged
and attractively displayed, and goods
are still arriving daily. The estab-
lishment is credit to the city and the
prosperous business that has been built
up is the result of hard work, fair deal
| ing, a thorough knowleged of the cloth
| ING business in all its details and syste-
matte and well directed advertising.
This firm has been for a number OF
years the most liberal advertiser in the
city, their expenditures annually for
advertising exceeding that OF any 9TH
er firm in Sumter. That advertising
pays has been proven beyond question
by the experience of the Chandler
Clothing Co., and each year, as the
business grows, the advertising appro-
priation is increased and the field of
their business is extended to cover
larger territory.
The company which was incorporat-
ed January 1st 1904, succeeded to the
business of D. J. Chandler, there being
but two stockholders, D. j. Chandler
and Jas. Fl. Chandler. Mr.. d.. Chan
dler began business in 1891, at which
time he bought out the clothing busi-
ness of his uncle. the late D. J. Vim,
who retired on account OF the mimi
ties of old age, after business career
of more than forty years. Mr.. Vim
established merchant tailoring busi-
ness in Sumterville about 55 years ago,
which he conducted continuously up to
the time Of his retirement in 1891. He
was the first merchant to bring ready
made clothing to Sumter, having put
in stock of clothing as a side line to
his merchant tailoring business
many years ago. Under his manage
ment the business grew to substantial
proportions and the name of Vim was
known throughout this section of the
State, and wherever known it was
synonymous with liability and honesty.
Messrs D. j. Chandler and Jas. Il.
Chandler, entered the employment of
their uncle, Mr.. VIM. when boys of

NO BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

The question of biennial ses.
sions q the general assembly
will be considered by the voters
at the coming election. This
matter has given politicians a
taking argument to present to
the people and on first blush it
does appear in the interest OF
economy to do away with annual
sessions, and only have the leg
islature meet once every two
years. When a member of the
Senate we cast our vote twice IN
favor of biennial sessions, and
did so, as we then thought, on
the ground of economy, but
since then we have studied the
matter more carefully, and OBJ
served the working of biennial
sessions in other States, and it
has convinced US, the plea of
economy viii not hold good. A
session of the legislature it is
said costs about $50, 900, and un-
der our constitution it is limited
to forty-days, but this limit re-
fers only to regular sessions, and
should special sessions be called
they would be unlimited, and
there Is no telling where the
cost would go. Our observation
is, in States where they have
biennial sessions. the. cost of
special sessions is more than the
regular sessions, ana instead Of
saving money to the people they
add an additional expense. We
therefore do not think it wise to
change, especially now, that we
are beginning to make progressive
strides. ! To change our constl-
tuition would entail a complete
revelation in our financial sys-
stena>and disrupt our entire gov
sernmental body, and in our
opinion we are in no condition
4 to tamper with the governmental
machinery.
There seems to be an idea
that if the people adopt the
biennial session amendment in
the coming election the matter
goes into effect right away, and
those who are elected in this
election hold for four years, those
Offices which were formally two,
but this is mistake. The gen
eral assembly which submitted
the amendment has made no pro-
vision for the terms, and even
IF s,if the amendment is adopted it
viii take a number Of years, be-
fore the machinery can be built
to put it into effect. In our
the whole scheme is a humbug
and will never amount to any
thing; and we believe the scheme
was only intended to furnish
! catchy material for votes.
