"The people of 8outh Carolina,"

I recently returned from the
Confederate reunion at Nashville,
and I never expect to seo as nuny
men over sixty years of age to-
gether again, all with the same
old rebel whoop, not in malice but

and hardships passed through for
southern independence.

superior generalship and equal
numbers on each dde was the
pivot upon which would turn tbe
tide of victory we would certainly
win, but if thousands of soldiers

to fill up depleted ranks caused by
southern valor, then wo would
certainly get left. Was I right or
wrong in my reasoning?
I will continue my observations.
The committee of reception, "God
bless them," did everything in
their power to get homeB for every

good coffee, ioe cold milk and tea.

slow at that. Our camp was in

and did not attend the business

to the centennial. The car fare

It's Ho See pet
The reason we are busy these hot days is well under-
stood by our customers. They know by experience that it
is because we are quoting lower prices, quality considered,
than any of our competitors.
Low prices, however are not the sole attraction here.
Our goods are desirable in every respect—styles right,
quality right, prices right, and your money back for the
asking if you are not satisfied when you get them home.
What more could we do, or might any one expect in the
way of right kind of store keeping? Don't you think we
are a step in advance of the procession, and that it will pay
you to investigate these values?
Good Molasses, 25c per gallon; Syrup, 35c per gallon;
