A prize is offered to that pupil, in
the high school, who will first solve
the problem below. The nearest cor
rect solution will be printed.
lem: 8 per cent of A’s money equals
10 per cent of B’ss and 6 per cent t>(
B’s equals 4 per cent of C’s. If 8 per
cent of C’s money equals <24.00, how
much has each?
This is the kind of foolish stuff that
is being taught in too many of our

hanged in Atlanta the other day, left
a wife and several children to bear
the odium of his ignominious death
and struggle along in the world as
best they may. The murderers Cocke

Greenville, Miss., on Tuesday, were
well connected and left mothers and
sisters disgraced by their execution
on the gaHows. Thus the innocent
suffer even more than the guilty.

We desire to continue in business,
and in order to do so we find it im
peratively’ necessary to change our
methods. So, from and after Sep

only sell goods to anybody for spot
cash. We make this announcement
reluctantly, but necessity compels it.
We apprecirte our customers and de
sire to hold every one of them, but
we just cannot run a time business
longer. It is our determination to
treat all of our customers alike, and
we therefore must firmly require the
cash for every cent’s worth of goods
sold by us to anybody no matter how
good he is for his contracts. Solicit
ing a continuation of your trade on a
cash basis, we are very truly,

Our wide awake merchants are
making preparations to fill their
stores chock a block with well selected
stocks of fall and winter goods. The
time w’as, if people here wanted to
purchase fine fashionable goods, they
had to ha ve their orders filled in the
large cities. Hartwell merchants
pride themselves, in keeping the best
to be had. And not only is this the
case, but you can oftener than other
wise buy the same article right here
at your door, as it were, cheaper than
you can get it in retail stores in the
cities. The people have found this
out and city orders from Hartwell
territory are becoming very seldom
and beautifully less.
