Special Fall and Winter Sale
OF
H. T. DANIEL
Palmetto, Ga. 1906 Palmetto, Ga.
In making this my fall announcement for the season of 1000, 1 beg leave to thank
my many friends and customers who have stood by me in the past, and have
shown their friendship by their liberal patronage. We shall endeavor by fair and
honest dealing, not only to merit a continuance of our already large trade, but to
increase our sales by reaching sections we have not reached before. The motto,
“Goods well bought are half sold,” is ever before us. Therefore we are constantly
watching the rise and fall of the market, in order to take every advantage, and
buying in such quantities as will enable us to sell at the lowest possible prices.
Our stock is larger than ever before, complete in every detail
Dry Goods.
To this department we have given special care in selecting the latest novelties of the season,
consisting of ladies’ broadcloth, panama cloth, voiles, brilliantines, mohair, serges, French flan
nels, and a full line of taffeta and Chinese silks, percales, ginghams, priirts, outings, teazle downs,
kimono suitings, flannels, jeans, cassimeres, repellents, checks, sheetings and shirtings. In fact,
the most complete line ever shown in this town.
Clothing.
To this line we can point with pride, having in
creased our sales for the last two years over one
hundred per cent. In style and make' up our
goods are excelled by none. We handle nothing
but custom-made goods of the noted Kuuthebcut
and Shield brands. In men’s, boys’ und chil
dren’s suits and overcoats, we can savejyou money
if you will only give us a chance.
Shoes.
In supplying the large and increasing demand in
this line, we have l>een careful in selecting such
brands as have been tried and not found wanting.
We realize the fact that shoes are high, but it has
been our good fortune to place our orders early,
and thus save a large per cent, of the advance.
In our stock you will find the most prominent and
best makes, such as Hamilton-Brown’s,KTossett’s,
Courtney’s, Kiser’s King, etc.
, Notions, Hats, Caps, etc.
The carefully selected stock in this department consist of men’s and ladies’ underwear, hose
and half hose, handkerchiefs, suspenders, etc. in hats and caps we can show you a beautiful
line of the latest styles. Our ready-to-wear department is large and complete, to which we (rail
the special attention of the ladies.
Groceries.
We handle a full line of groceries, always buying from first hand, enabling us to sell at the
very lowest prices.
Furniture, Coffins, etc.
The increase in our business in this line during the past year has been very gratifying, and
we are glad to state that we are able to show a much larger variety with styles and prices to suit
all. A cordial invitation is extended to all our friends and customers to call and see us when in
town. Remember Tuesday is always bargain day. Yours for business,

A TROPICAL TERROR.
ftloat l(r,-ml,>,1 „f l.lvlnw TIiIhk* In
l£<iuilt«irlnl Africa.
Europeans who viHit the great equa- !
torlal forests of Africa are subject to
tunny risks, hut none perhaps so dan- i
gorons as contact with the hashikouny,
or grent hull nut, which Is said to be
the most dreaded of living things to he
found In that region. It is gluttonous
in the extreme. That which It attacks
It consumes on the spot—nothing Is
carried away for further convenience.
Elephants, leopards, gazelles, lions,
snnkes, gorillas, monkeys, even the
humnn aborigines of the districts It
Infests, tly from any neighborhood In
which they know It to bo located. Ac
cording to well accredited reports,
those awe Inspiring bull mils travel,
like locusts, in vast armies, marching
In a line two Inches or more broad and
miles in length. One of these armies
has been known to take twelve hours
to pnss a given point. These ants pre
fer the shade and, rather fmiV^ie ex
posed to the rays of the blazing sun,
will burrow tunnels under the surface
of the ground and thus travel until
they come to the shelter of trees. Any
animal which, unaware of tho proxim
ity of the bull nnt and reposing In
the solitude of the volt, happens to ho
attacked Ims no chance of esenpo. It
Is devoured with Irresistible fury, nutl
within a few minutes a pile of blenched
bones marks the spot where It reposed.
A great deal of valuable Information
about this dreaded creature lias boon
published by a French zoologist, M. do
Challler, who has described a personal
encounter with the hull nnt. "I re
member well the first time 1 met the
bnshlkouays on a raid, I knew not
what was In store for me. I was hunt
ing by myself, when suddenly the for
est became alive with the foe, A sud
den dread seized me, and I stood still
In lilt' hunting path, resting on my gun.
Suddenly, as If by tangle, I was cov
ered and bitten everywhere. I lied In
haste and found refuge In n deep
Hlrcnm, yet even then tho strong pinch
ers of the ants would not give way,
and though tho bodies were torn off tho
heads remained. The unlive tribes,
when a man Is condemned for witch
craft, generally fasten him to a tree
before an Inroad of these ants. After
they have passed a shining skeleton
alone Is left to tell the tale."

for this Circuit, made the state

in all bis experience as solicitor,
all but two or three were due di

the principal cause. As he has
had about 40 or 50 cases of mur

weight. Of all criminal cases in
