Governor Flower, of New York
a^ain shown himself a man
before a politician. In answer to
the threat of the Central Labor,
Union that it would cost the
democratic party 12,000votes if
26 did not before the electien
pardon a member accused of
violating the law, the Governor,
says:
"I am not" in the habit of granting
pardons upon the demand or threat
)f any citizen or any body of
citizens. Applications for Execu
tive clemency aro considered on
their merits. Nor do I conceive it
ny duty to grant pardons for
-campaign purposes. On account
of the political aspect which
fugues' friends have given to the
application in hia behalf I have
"refused to consider it until after the
election. It may as well be under
stood now as later that the Gov-'
ernor of this State is nbt to be
bulldozed just before election or
at any other time in the discharge
of his official obligations.".
Nothing could hit the bull's eye |
truer than that.-Charleston Sun.
A Liquor dealer who opened a |
place for business in Columbia,
Mo., recently, started ont with a
determination to justify and
dignify his business and lift it
fi om the level usually assigned to
it. He issued a notice with this
headline: "Know all men by
these presents," He announced
that he bad "no desire to sell to
minors, drunkads or the destitute,"
that any "wife, with a drunkard
for a husband." or any person with
a friend" unfortunately dissipated,
was requested to notify him of the
fact and the persons discribed
; would be excluded from his place j
of business. He believed "there |
are gentlemen of honor and work-1
men who can afford it who want
to drink." and he wanted todo
business on a strictly legitimate
basis with them.
It is a safe and good rule tb
" sojourn in every place as if you
meant to spend your life there,
never omitting an opportunity of
doing a kindness, or speaking a
true word, or making a friend,
Seeds thus sown by the wayside
.. often bring forth an abundant
harvest.

Prom the first of October I will
be at tho ' mammoth " dry goods

to see and serve my friends and
the people of - Edgefield county

late with Alvin Hart Co.;
; , ' Edgefield, S. C.
We know that-many readers of
the ADVERTISER distrust the adver.
tisement which announces goods
at cost.^randJ'St?ch distrust is a wise
skepticism on the. part of the pub-v
lie, for no merchant can sell goods'
at cost; and ineet- ^his'- own bills
when presented for payment. And
yet we axe [going to offer our stock
of Shoes-^-one cth?usand dollars^
worth-at ' actual cost, less the
freight. These Shoes are ' of al
grades and sizes, gents', and chil
dren.' We also offer all our Notions
Dry Goods, and Crockery at cost
less the freight. Our reasons for
selling at cost are, first, we can as
well afford to sell at cost as to keep
them at cost; and secondly, we
propose< in the. future to do only a
grocery bu si ne ss, and must dispose
Of ?verytning: we keep, except gro
ceries, in order lo get the store
room....
; These two reasons ought to sat
isfy the most skeptical that we
mean husiness. If .parties wish it
we will show our bills.
