QOLD CURE.
J n»t now there is a great deal of
talk about the famons gold cure,
ami most pooplo have vague no
tions upon the subject. You need
not lmve, however, any vague no
tious about our stock of Gold and
Silver (in thoir many forms.) They
include what is useful, what is or
namental and what is both. If
your taste is very, very gooal we
can gratify it very, very thorough
ly. If it is not particularly good
nothing will cultivate it quicker
than a glance over onrstock. We
don't claim our display to be Daz
zling, but wo do say that we can
furnish tho best goods at the low
est possible prices to our custo
mers.

It is too hot to become excited
over little things, but a little ripple
of excitment won't hurt you. Jiwt
nerve yourself up to receive an ex
traordinary announcement. I am
offering this week the largest as-

on my counters. The greatest
bargains of them all will 1* sold at
50c each. , u “ i,n extril

handsomely trimmed, and well
made. It is easily worth $1.00.
) ou could not possibly buy the
c'oth and lave it made at home at
any such ridiculously low price.
I have lovely robes at 75c, $1,
j ♦1.50, |2 and so on, up to a fine
s.'k garment at 15.
Exaiuiue the line and give uie
your candid opinion of these fig-
j ures. Are they down low enough
to suit you? Do you think they
could very well be lower? They
have never been anything like ns
low before, and it isn’t at all likely
they will ever be anything likens
low again. To let such a chance
ns this pass unheeded is like de
liberately shutting your eyea when
fortune comes along to Hhower her
favors upon yon.
Negligee and puff shirts are in
great demand during this swelter

The democrats of Sumter county met
yesterday In mass meeting.
And they quickly and harmoniously
transacted the business to be done.
The official notice of Judge Analey,
chairman of the executive committee,
was published two wteks ago, calling
the democrats of Sumter together for
the purpose of (electing delegates to the
congressional and gubernatorial conven
tions.
Yesterday the democrats gathered and
unanimously endorsed Congressman
Charles F. Crisp, aud Governor Xortlieu,
Georgia's able, eminent ami popular
chief executive.
Cleveland and Stevenson were unani
mously endorsed amid wild applause.
That was the main part of the work.
All the state house officers were en
dorsed nuanlmously except Commis
sioner of Agriculture Nesbitt, against
bom there were two votes.
A lew minutes aft* r 10 o'clock Judge
dissenting voice and with great ap
plause.
Mr. Walter K. Wheatley read the fol
lowing resolution and moved its adop

‘‘Resolved, That the democrats of

recommend his re election. Delegates
of this county are instructed to cast

This was carried with a will and loud

tbe New York Sun's editorial published
In yeeterday'i Timks-Rix-ohiieu, and
after pointing out tbe posltlona of the
two great political partiea, wound up
with a powerful appeal to tbe white peo
ple of tho south not to desert their true
and tried friend In this most critical pe
riod for tho southern states.
Judge Auslcy also spoke of Governor
Northcn nnd Congressman Crisp In tho
most complimcutary terms. His speech
was frequently cheered, and received the
plaudits of the entire audience.
At the termination of tlila opening ad
dress, the convention v. as declared
ready for business, and the name of Col.
A. S. Cutta was placed In nomination for
|iermanent chairman. He waa elected
unanimously, and took tbe chair amid
hearty applause.
He, too, made a splendid Ulk. There
isn't a man In thla section who com
mands more admiration from the people,
and when he told how much Georgian*
and southerners and the great musa of
citliens everywhere were Indebted to tbe
Democratic party, be received close at-
tlon and much applause. He clearly
showed why we should remain Demo
crats, and bow aay wavering from the
party would be suicidal to all except re
publicans.
Business was declared in order, and
A. s. Harper waa elected secretary of
tbe meeting.
Hon. W. M. Hawkee In a few timely
and eloquent worda presented the follow-
Ing resolntlbn:
“Resolved, by tbe democrats of Som-

That we endorse the patriotic and wise
administration of Gov. W. J. Xortben,

tainty, and that election means that tl.e
old democratic doctrine practiced by
Jackson shall continue to be the rule In
democratic couneels; to those upou
whom has been Instrusted the govern
ment, its officers should be of tbe same
political faith.”
There were loud cheers as tho above
was read out, and with perfect unanimity
and loud voice the represenutivn men
present showed that they were going to
work with a will for the auccese of the
democratic party. Their enthusiasm
was evident, and they aro going to wurk
as they never workod before.

Tbe only point about which there waa
any content was on tbe motion to

were unanimously endorsed.
Mr. Jim Wilson moved that tha dele

Nearly all of tbe Southern railroads
are In trouble, that la they are In tbe
hand* of receiTets.
Ami Amerieua' pet, the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery railroad, la
tbe only road In tbe state of Georgia that
is entirely free from embarrassment and
Is moving along smoothly making
money.
This Is a fact, and it la all the more
pleasurable when the people consider
that the Sam road warn built and Is con
trolled by borne people.
It’s a source of great satisfaction, ami
it shows that tbia section and tbo Sam
road are all right.
This Is no talk, It is simply tbe state
ment of a fact, as can be easily shown.
Yesterday Mr. S. C. Cooper, treasurer
of tbe 8. A. * M., completed bis remit
tances to tbe Mercantile Trust and De
posit Company, of Baltimore, covering
tbe July Interest on the Sam bonds.
The amount of tbe Interest waa $100,-
<Vi0.
This amount was provided out of the
net earnings of the road for tbo past six
months.
That’s tba kind of work tbo road la
doing, and than Isn't another road In
tbo south tbnt Is making half as good
a showing. Tho Dam la a borne enter
prise and Is entirely Independent of tbo
big systems. It goes straight ahead
making money by patting on tbo beat
and fastest schedules from tbe west sod
east, and making rates that cannot be
touched. It'e one of tbe rallroade that
Isn’t controlled by a monopoly and la of
tbo people, by tba people and for the
people.
To glvo a slight comparison tbe fol
lowing It copied from tho Constitution,
beaded, “All the Roads Want Money:”
President H. M. Comer has gone to
Xew York again, tho Savannah Nows
says, to make some furtberarraogements
for tba Central's July IntereaL The
Nows says that be has not secured all
tbe money needed.
“Word oome* from New fork that Mr,
Coiner, on hie last trip there, pertly
made an arrangement with tbe bond-
holdere to wait awhile for tbelr Intereit.
He le aald to have shown them plainly
that If they press tho Central and cause
it to default, tbe Speyers, who are car
rying tbe floating debt, will coma in un
der tbelr contract aud tbump tbe breath
out of the raid bondholders. But, then,
there Is tbe other horn, If the intrrtat Is
deferred and tbs Central falls to meet
that floating debt In tbe fall, tbe Speyers
are liable to rail oat tbe eleven or twelve
millions of racnritiee, which they bold
for a loan of five millions.
Mr. Morgan's plans, as to tbo Cen
tral, would bo intomting, and a great
many people are curious to laara. It Is
likely, though, that be will not announce
aay plans for tbs Central until soma le
gal questions are rattled.

were nested to a very delightful lid
entertainment at the closing exrrdera l
Mrs. Ella Mima' school, at tbe ■
of Mlaa Aggie Graham, about three i
north of thla place, on Thursday night
last. Quite a crowd from here went oat
and felt that we were amply repaid. For
a small school we never witnessed a I
ter performance. Tbe people acqulttod
themselves with great credit to them
selves and tbelr teacher, wbleh was very
gratifying to tbelr parents and all others
concerned.
The programme consisted of dialogues,
recitations, tableau, etc., with as In
terlude of music by Messrs. D. W.TIaoa
and J. A. Hammond. Tbe role of Me
ter of ceremonies was creditably carried
out by Mr. II. J. Winn, of Oglethorpe, a
brother of Mrs. Mime.
The most of tbo dialogues recitations,
etc., were entirely new, some original,
gotten up especially for the occasion by
tbe teacher and were really meritorious,
“Tba Three Little Kittens,’’ sung by
Master Henry aad Clenton Jamas, aad
Eugene Graham brought down tba
bouse, aad were cheered out tbo secood
time, and now you can scarcely bear
anything else bummed on tba streets.
The entire entertainment was most
interesting and amusing throngboat, bnt
tbe crowning point of snsesra waa
reached by Mias Alla James’ rendition
of tbe recitation “Briar Rora."

teacher In this county aad dsstnaa
much credit for tbo snoesra of tba enter
tainment, g

enough to be guests at tba hospitable
