They sell only the best Shoes made, and one pair wil
wear longer than two pairs bought from other houses who
keep cheap stuff. Did you buy Shoes from us last winter?
If so, we ar? not talking to you, as no one could influence
you to buy from any one else; but this is to those who have
been buying shoddy Shoes from merchants who do not care
for any thing but the profits, and regardless of wear.
Just ask your neighbor about our Winter Shoes and
they will tell you about them better than we can write. It
is poor economy to buy Shoes for winter that will not
serve you ten months or one year, even if you can get
tkem for 15 cents a pair less. We are going to keep and
sell Shoes that will- give satisfaction to every one who buys
of us. We want to sell you and your family your winter
goods and will save you money sure. Youis,

AsmmImi r«llln of (ha Coatsadlnc
Fo re — How the Truth Often Una be¬
tween Extreme#— One Great Question
That Was Settled Wltbeut a Compremlae.
We.auraTOu, P. C.. Oet. 1B — [H, ecial]—
The greatest difficulty in tn* way or a
compromise in the senate last week was
the opposition of many Democrats to the
Issuance of mom bonds, but the stress of
events was powerful enough in the end to
brack down this opposition. Those Demo¬
cratic senators who mood out against tbs
bond issue for some time did so because of
their animosity to national banks. They
represent tou*tUn«veW» which heller# the
national banking system is monopolistic,
wrong and cruel., Of late years the nation¬
al banks have bad much difficulty in se¬
curing government bonds at a low enough
nits for the purpose of making deposits as
a basis of increased circulation, and pres-
aura for a new bond iiwuo has therefore
come largely from the natio:~d banks.
A new Issue would afford them the means
of increasing their circulation. Rt jbt here
has come in one of the peculiarities of
Statesmanship when applied to financier¬
ing. The same senators who bare opposed
bonds as an increase of the national debt
have demands 1 more money and an in¬
crease of the circulating medium. Though
a bond issue would he sure to result in this
very thing, they have opposed bonds be¬
cause of their fear that an issue of new se¬
curities would play Into the hands of the
national banks. Out of a severe content
like this the truth usually shines in the
end, and the truth at this time, a* every
one sees, la that an issue of bonds ,1s not
only a necessity, but highly desirable, and
that while it may help the national banks,
which some people do not like, it will also
afford some relief to the country as well as
protection to the treasury.
The Treasury Must Have kelp.
Up to the last minute during the progress
of the great fight in the senate many men
persisted In The overlooking the truth of the
situation. truth has been that an is¬
sue of bonds was an aiwolute necessity to
protect the treasury and the gold reserve,
no matter what was done with the Voor-
hees bill in the senate. For two or three
years the revenues of the government have
been gradually decreasing, while there has
been no diminution df the expenditures. In
fact, the government has been gradually
approaching isnkruptcy, and for a year
and a half nothing but smart management
aud the use of every scrap of money has cn^
abled the treasury to tide oreretnAtgeurte*.
The gold reserve has frequently fallen much
below tbe traditional limit of *100,000,oft),
and available funds for meeting the appio-
priatkms of congress have becu hard to
find, so much so that tbe secretary of tbe
treasury has been compelled to forego ex-
penditures in tbe way of public buildings
aud other matters which had becu ordered
by congress.
' Yea Many Politician*.
With tbe receipts falling below the ex¬
penditures a crisis baa been gradually ap¬
proaching, and if men bad been able to
clear their eyes from the fog and mist of
prejudice concerning banks, silver, gold
and those things about which statesmen so
well love to contend, the truth would have
been seen much earlier, and possibly some
action might have been taken long before
this. But of course politics bad to have
Its part in the programme. It is almost Im¬
possible to do anything in congress without
an effort to secure either personal or part/
advantage. If the Republicans had been
smart, they would have perceived that
their greatest strength Hay in some such
compromise as that which has been a/ret d
upon, securing tbe friendship of the silver
states by continuing the purchase of white
metal, and, while the Democrat* were re¬
sponsible for coogreee sod the executive,
putting through the scheme to issue more
bonds and increase the national debt.
Tbe Democrats, on tbe other hand,
should hare perceived long ago that good
politics on their part lay not In a demand
for unconditional repeal, but in charging
upon the Republicans, who enacted tbe
McKinley law, that through tbe Operations
of the new tariff tbe government was be¬
ing driven into bankruptcy, and it was the
duty of tbe Democratic party to fare tbe
necessity this produced and provide bonds
for protection of tbe treasury and of tbe
gold reserve.
Compromise Often a (food Thing.
In Washington it is extremely difficult to
look at any questing, legislative or other,
without taking politics Into consideration.
And one may easily imagine, even in Wash¬
ington, that tbe people care much less
abont politics than they do about good,
wholesome financiering which will protect
the Interests of the country and tbe treas¬
ury. The truth is often found to lie between
two extremes, and such has proved to be
the case iu this instance. Id the result of
tbe great fight in tbe senate we have an¬
other illustration of the principle that all
civilization and nearly all great move¬
ments are produced by some sort of com¬
promise between contendiigj forces and in¬
fluences.
Though a large proportion of the people
of tbe country, stirred up by tbe vocUerons-
neee aud Insistency of tbe politicians on one
side or tbe other, bad naturally come to be¬
lieve that either unconditional repeal was
absolutely necessary to tbe prosperity of
tbe country or that free coinage was also
necessary, doubtless many of these people
will be much better satisfied with tbe re¬
sult than they had ev*r expected to be.
Now that the politicians, demagogues and
ambitious presidential aspirants have con¬
cluded tbeir maneuvers tbe people can well
afford to settle down into the conviction
that perhaps, after all, tbe best and wisest
thing bas been done.
Ob* Question That Waa Not Compromised.
Of course there are exceptions to all rules.
It does not always happen that compro¬
mise results when great forces meet and
clash. We hsd a striking illustration of
this in a remark which was made in tbe
pres* gallery when (Senator Blackburn was
making his now celebrated speech in which
be charged that last summer's panic was
deliberately produced by the bankers. Mr.
Blackburn made a long argument to sbow
that everything of importance ia legisla¬
tion and government la usually tbe result
of compromise. He cited instances from
tbe history of our own government aud
created a very strong impression. None of.
the senators opposed to compromise ap¬
peared to be ready with a fitting reply, but
an occupant of the pres* gallery, a man
who bad fought on the losing side In the
rebellion, offered * bit of comment which
was good enough to bars been offered on
the floor of tbs senate.
“There was one great question,” he said,
“which was not settled by s compromise,
and when it was settled ft wee settled for

CtuRuwTOH.Oet. 17.—From account*
thus far receivwl, the hurricane of Oct.
18 semn* to have been even more furiou*
in some parts of the state than that of
Aug. 87. I» the neighborhood of the
town of Georgetown there are a number
of smalt islands on which a few aristo¬
cratic white families and a great many
negroes live, and it was there that the
fulljhiry tide* which erf the storm was felt. The
is always high and strong
on that part of the coast, row full five
feet higher than usual, and everything
was swept away before it.
Thu reports are very slow coming in
from that region, on account of its inno-
cesribiltty, but it is believed that a large
percentage of the negro population Itas
jiemhed. Three islands are all low and
fiat, with very little high ground and
few substantial trees, such as would af¬
ford shelter. Many of the island* are
favorite summer ri-sorts, on account of
the extensive lsmcbre. On Pawley’s
island alone it is positively known that
many lives were lost, while on Magnolia
beach, adjoining, 18 persons were
drowned.
Among the victims were Dr. A. B.
Flagg and wife, the two Misses Weston,
of Summerville} Dr. Arthur B. Flagg,
Jr„ and wife, Misses Bossie ami Alice
Labruoe, five children and six colored
servants.
The effect of this latest disaster will
be practically to extend the desolated
area 40 or 50 miles further. George¬
town is north of Charleston, and hitherto
nearly all the suffering has been on the
islands lying south of here. The damage
by the latter storm appear* to have been
