Our warssooms are open Evenings
We pride ourselves
on the quality Of our prod
ucts.
We make only pianos
Of superbly beautiful quail
ity.

We take pride in our work. We
like to make pianos of artistic excel
lence for the JOY of making them,
apart from the profit of selling them.
We think we make instruments that
in exquisitely beautiful quality of
tone, in delightful modulation, in
faultless touch and in admirable
finish of details are without su-
perior in the industry; in several
particulars, we do not think any
other manufacturer makes as fine in
struments as ourselves.
We are constantly being visited
by the best piano experts of this and
other countries. The invariable YER
dict of these connoisseurs is that
never have they seen a factory where
such unusual pains were taken to
secure fine results; some have gone
even further and said that we go to
needless extremes on the ground that
only a very limited number Of per-
sons appreciate the exceptional quail
ity and costhness of our work. The
fact, of course, is that good work is
always worth while, and pays best in
the long run.

Whiskey Dumped Into Sewer.

Sheriff Gilreath had his second pub.
lie "emptying" at Greenville a few
days ago under the -Cothran
liquor law. Fifty gallons of fire wa"
ter" ranging all the way from rye
to corn juice with the moonlight
woven In, found its way into the
court house sewer. This represents a
months work of the sheriff's consta.
bles.
Many citizens are of the opinion
that this whiskey ought to be sold to
the county dispensaries to help defray
the expense of the constabulary, but
nothing can be done in the matter
till the next session of the legisla-
ture.
The constables captured 1854 gal
Ions of corn whiskey from a negro
grocer, named Goldsmith. The blind
tigers hide liquor in all conceivable
places. One negro woman recently
had rubber mattress on her bed
filed with many gallons of booze.

Of Ackerman Family Of Nine
People in Florida About

Although a year has elapsed since
the Alderman family, composed OF
husband and wife and seven children.
was murdered and then burned in
Santa Rosa county, Fla, near Pensa'
cola. detectives have just procured
information which on last Monday
caused the arrest of two white men,
Joe Stanley and William c. Smith,
who are charged with having com
mitted the crime. Stanley was ar.
rested in Geneva. Ala, while Smith
was found at Gonzales, Fla, and car
rled to Milton, the county site OF
Santa Rosa county.
When it was discovered that the
house in which the Ackerman fam
lily resided had been burned, an in.
vestigation ensued. and, while it was
at first thought that the entire fam
lily had become suffocated and, thus
unable to leave the building, it was
later discovered that several of the
older members, particularly the faith
er. wife and older son, had been
struck on the head. the skulls being
crushed. 1t was also found that the
father had arisen from the bed and
had evidently seized his shotgun to
fight for the lives of his family, as
the gun was found lying near his
cnarred body, with one hand resting
upon it.
The jury could not fix the crime
upon any one, and shortly afterwards
both Stanley and Smith left that
county. Rewards amounting to near.
iy twenty-five hundred dollars were
offered. and detectives were induced
to work up the case, and. while it
required year to do so, they now
claim that they have strong informa-
ton against the two men.

out a statement in which he says he
found matters in Cuba in what, un.
der the circumstances, must be con-
sidered a very satisfactory condi.
tion;" that there Is every ground for
hope that the plan adopted for cen
sus, preliminary election and then
again an election six months later,
will result in the selection Of a presi.
dent and congress who will be able
to maintain themselves and give a
stable rule to the island; and that
the delay in taking a census is known
by Cubans as an earnest of the Amer.
lean government to secure a stable
government before it leaves, so
there will be no excuse for a second
Intervention.
He stated that in Panama the engi-
neers reported to him that the foun.

The long staple cotton planters Of
the sea islands near Charleston have
taken another step to perfect their
organization by providing for a cot

long staple cotton crop of the sea
islands this year is some two or
three weeks behind, and the planters
say that even with perfect weather

they cannot make a full crop. 1t. is
figured now that about 1000 bags
will be picked. The West Indian plant
