The people are fast finding oat the difference
between low grade goods at low prices and high
grade goods at lovjgrfcwu
example: Mr. Brawn bought of Morris Bros.
* of $l.50 Shoes for his wife for $1.18, a pair of
%L2S Shoos for his daughter Mary for 98c, a pair
$1-25 Shoes for himself for 98c, two extra large
and heavy. $1.50 Counterpanes for his daughter
h h mniTy aext week, for 98c.
Mr. doses, not betig so well posted, bought
else where# for his wife* a pair of 98c Shoes for
98«, for himself a pair of 98c Shoes for 98c, two
ntm*Y* light-weight Counterpanes for 98c apiece,
^ Ms daughter Martha, who was to have been
■rarrlad last week, bat the folly of the old man,
them wasting his money, so shook the confidence
of the then prospective son-in-law In the eld -man's

We will continue to sc* high grade goods at low

Baltimore, lid., duly 21.—An
ur line from the Great Lakes to
the South Atlantic seaboard is
made possible by a deal which
um% been practically cons run
ranted by the Union Trust
Company, of this city. The
Union Trust Company has just
completed arrangement* to
finance the extension of the
Ohio River and Charleston Rail
road from the coal fields of West
Virginia to Lincolnton, N. C.
It has been decided also, it is
understood, to extend this road
northward to Iroaton, Ohio,
where it will connect with the
Detroit Southern. Samuel Knot,
president of the Utter road, is
also president of the Ohio River
sud Charleston, whibli was
recently taken over by a new
company, known as the South
and Western.
At Lincolnton the road will
connect with the Seaboard Air
Line, with which company close
agreements for the interchange
of traffic have been made. The
line wall be the shortest from
the West Virginia coal fields to
the sen, and if the extension to
fronton i* built, it'win give the
Seaboard an independent and
short route to the Great Lakes.

All that riches can bay and
architectural skill devise will be
the new mansion of Charles M.
Schwab., president of the United
States Steel Corporation, to be
built on Riverside drive, between
Seventy-third and Seventy-fourth
streets.
It will be completed for Mr.
Schwab's 1903 Christmas dinner.
In all essentials — situation,
architectural beauty, magnifi
cence of arrangement and deco
ration—the Fifth avenue home
of Mr. Schwab's preceptor, Mr.
Carnegie, will be far surpassed.
French Renaissance will be
the style, and Chateau de Blots
and the Little Trianon, both
palaces of French Kings, its pat
terns. The cost will be about
$3,359,000, the plot alone-the
old orphan asylum site—having
cost Mr. Schwab $885,000 a year
ago. It is its builder's aim to
make it the most magnificent
house in New York.
Mr. Schwab was asked why
he bought on the Hudson when
there were so many Fifth avenue
sites offered.
" 1 wanted breathing space.” he
explained. "I’ve always been
accustomed to plenty of air in
the Alleghanicv and all that I
can get here 1 am goiug to
have.”
The grounds will be laid out
in drives, walks, fountains and
an Italian garden. '
On the interior will be lavished
the best that can be found in
the architecture of Europe. The
front entrance will be reached
by a broad terrace and stone
steps. The mansion will be 100
by 150 feet, and four .stories high
with two wings extending to the
rear. A magnificent hall will
occupy the centre, and from it
will rise the staircase, with gor
geously stained-glass windows,
pipe organ, galleries and,columns
reaching the ceiling* of the
second floor. The staircase will
cost almost half a million dollars.
Celebrated artists will be em
ployed in decorating the interior.
In the basement will be swim
ming pools, baths, automobile
rooms, billard and pool rooms,
refrigerating and electric light
plants. The details of any of the
living rooms ore still tmfiuisht d.
Wide verandas and balconies
will bound the open court formed
by the wrings, and in its centre

It has been suggested that a
barbed wire fence be built aloug
the {international boundary line
in Northern Montana to aid the
custom officials in patrolling the
border and enforcing the tariff
laws. As it U now cattle partic
ularly cause trouble. They are
worth about 20 per cent more <w
this side of the line than the
other, end seem to know it, for
it is said they have a way of
drifting in this direction when
human beings are not visible to
the eye of the guardians against
smuggling. But it la feund that
if the fence is buih at the joint
expense of the two govern menu
H Will he much cheaper to have
Canada famish the wire, even
though it comes from the united

A change of schedule went in
to effect on the Southern last
Sunday, as the result of which
the southbonud train now passes
Yorkville at 10:20 a. ut. ami the
northbound at 3:30 p. ra.
The trustees of the Yorkville
graded school have elected Mr.
R. A. Abrams, of Newberry,
assistant principal, vice Mr. (1.
S. Bryan, resigned. Mr. Abrams
taught in the graded school at
Hampton last year.
Mias Jessie, second daughter

With good rains throughout
the connty generally, Yorkville
and vicinity have been suffering
until Sunday afternoon when
there came a shower that served
to lay the dnst aud cool the
atmosphere. There was hardly
enongh rain, however, to be of a
great deal of practical benefit.
Although the committee iu
charge has not beeu making any
promises, the Confederate veter
ans who contemplate attending
the re-nnion at Mt. Gallant, on
Jnly 30, may depend npou it
that there is a good time in store
foT them. Evert’ re-union that
has yet been held uuder these
same auspices has been a suc
cess.
According to the comptroller
I general's report, the following
| citizens of York county have re
ceived their pro rata share of the
artificial limb fund: W. B. Wil

J. C. Sparks was among the new
applicants, but his claim was
disapproved for the reason that
he had not previously been on
the list.
A letter from New Orleans,
announces the marriage of Mr.
J. Frank Hart, formerly of Yorlt
ville, hot now of New Orleans, to
Miss Cecelia Morrisey, of the
last named city. The ceremony
took place on July 8. Mr. Hart
is tlte second son of Major James
F. Hart, of Yorkville, and has
many friends here who will be
glad to congratulate him on his
marriage.
Although ordered in what
seemed to be ample time to bring
them here by July 1, the mail
boxes for Yorkville rural routes
Xos. 1 and 2, have not yet been
received. Mr. M. I*. Carroll,
who ordered the boxes, says the
bill has been here for three
weeks, but that he is uuable to
get any trace of the boxes. He
thinks that they are probably on
a side track somewhere between
Goshen, Ind., the point from
which they were shipped, and
Yorkville. Every effort is being
made to locate them.
When the plans now well un
der way are completed, the Vic
tor Cotton Oil Company will have
the largest and most convenient
ginning plant that has ever been
established in York county. It
is to include four 80-saw Pratt
gins, a steam press of ample
capacity, installed in a large
two-story iron-clad, frame build
ing. The plant ia to be equipped
with what is known as the Mur
ray pneumatic system and is to
be driven by a 57-horse power
engine. The plant will easily
be able to gin and pack 50 bales
of cotton in a day of 12 hours, or
100 bales every 24 hours. The
ginety will he ready for business
at the opening of the coming
season.
There are fonr Negro lunatics
in jail. They have accumulated
during the past three or four
weeks, and as Judge McCorkle
has written several times to Dr.
Babcock, of the state hospital
for the insane, without receiving
a reply, he is very much con
cerned about them. Captain
Iredell Jones, of the board of
hospital regents, has taken the
matter up within the last day or
two and promises to let Judge Mc
Corkle know what the trouble is
ss soon as possible. Sheriff Ix>
gan is also concerned about these
lunatics. One of them 'is so
violent that he has to be confined
in bis ceU, and all of them are
requiring attention that they can
receive only at the state hospital.
