II would not be bad idea for the

Now is the opportunity to secure
nice automobile at a price equal to any
that can be secured from the best OF fac

advertisement in this issue and 1t Will
appeal TO YOU that he has the goods, and
means business. Mr.. Bradham has sold
more machines than any other man 10
Eastern South Carolina, and there IS
reason. He gives full value for the in
vestment. Take look at his machines.
He offers the celebrated Overland that
has made record for durability and
speed. He has the Brush, the best ma
chine for the money for a runabout that
We know Of; there are many OF these IN
the county and they are giving entire
satisfaction, one farmer told Us that II
he GOT ir push he would not be afraid
to haul freight with his. Then there IS
the Liberty. Il splendid machine which
goes through sand like q duck through
water. Mr.. Bradham is an authority on
automobiles, ia touch with the best OF
them and besides he furnishes parts and
does repair work. Do not fail 10 see
him.
The attention Of The Times readers
is directed to the half page advertise

that high salaries can employ from the
centers of fashions, a visit to that store
will convince the most skeptical: that
they can buy as nice goods and as fash
ionable there as they can get IN the
largest city in the State. There is no
half way business with them. Visit the
opening. not the people of SCmmertoa
alone. but the people from all over the
county if the latest styles, 1T moderate
prices is desired. The day has come
when lady does not have to 60 away
off. possibly to the department stores OF
New York or Chicago to get her an up
to-da,e hat, or dress, she can be better
supplied at home and save mouey: We
venture there is not better millinery
