To Those Who Doubt'
THAT a majority of our buying public have implicit
faith in our advertisements is daily proved by re
sults. That there are some people in this community who
do not believe in the truth of any printed statement “goes
without saying. They are not to blame for this, perhaps,
however, “a burn child dreads fire,” you know. So an oft
humbugged buyer is shy of being humbugged again. This
ctore reaches out tor the doubting ones, and desires to prove
to them that in all its advertising it states facts, —only facts
—plain, pure and simple.

making it an offering to meet every need as well as every taste. There can be
no disappointments among such a broad collection and every yard is new this
season. The values are from 10c to 25c yard, while the price for Ap vf l

We told of them last week. Our haste is your opportunity. People will
expect us to have this line of goods all the season, but we prefer to sell them

reflect nothing upon the character of the goods. There’s less than five hun -

Said and Done in the Town in a

The condition of Mr. L. N. Hudson,

Wednesday night, was most serious
yesterday. Being the second attack
the chances of his recovery are les

CANNOT DISPOSE OF WINDSOR.
Mr. Fricker is Enjoined and a Receiv
er Appointed.
Mr. Charles Fricker has been en
joined and restrained from, disposing
of or in anywise altering the present
status of the Hotel Windsor property,
while Mr. James R. Williams has been
duly appointed as receiver to assume
charge of said property unless Mr.
Fricker, within fifteen days, gives a
bond subject to the approval of the
clerk of court, pending final adjudica
tion of the case by the courts.
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn thus rendered
judgment yesterday in the petition for
injunction brought by the Americus
Manufacturing and Improvement Co.,
versus Mr. C. A. Fricker.
The greatest local interest has been
aroused by this legal fight between the
company formerly owning the hotel
property and Mr. Fricker for posses
sion. Several weeks ago the company
sought to restrain Mr. Flicker from
changing the present status of the
property until the case could be adju
dicated in the courts.
Judge Littlejohn’s decision is sub
stantially as follows:
After considering the petition it is
ordered that the defendant, C. A.
Fricker. be restrained anil enjoined
from selling, transferring, encumber
ing or otherwise changing the present
status of the property. It is further
considered and ordered that J. R. Wil
liams Esq., be, and he is hereby ap
pointed receiver.
He will take charge of the property
designated and hold it until further
order of the court.
This order as to the appointment of
a receiver shall not take effect if the
defendant, O. A. Fricker, shall file
with the clerk of court of Sumter,
within 15 days from this date, a bond
with approver security conditioned to
account for and pay to plaintiff such
sum as be may be chargeable with for
the use of the property in case the
plaintiii shall prevail on the final
hearing of the case.
If defendant shall fail to give this
bond the order appointing a receiver
shall then take efiect, provided the
plaintiff shall tile with the clerk of
court a bond with approved security
conditioned to pay defendant such
costs and damages as be may sustain
by reason of the appointment of a re
ceiver in case the defendant shall pre
vail on the final hearing of case.
Just what steps will next be taken in
this “cause celebrae” remains to be
seen.
Cold Steel or Death.
“There is but one small chance to
save you life and that is through an
operation,” was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis., by her doctor after trying
to cure her of a frightful case of stom
ach trouble aud yellow jaundice. He
didn’t count on the marvelous powers
of Electric Bitters to cure stomach and
Liver troubles, but she beanl of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,
avoided surgeon’s knife, now weighs
more and feels better than ever. It’s
positively guaranteed to cure Stomach
Liver and Kidney troubles and never
disappoints. Priec 50c at E. J. Eld
ridge drug’s store.
RAIN IS GENERAL IN SUMTER.
Fear Expressed That Cotton Will be
Injured.
It has rained here almost incessantly
for 24 hours, and farmers are already
expressing the fear that cotton will
rust or otherwise sustain much injury.
Unless all signs fail the farmers will
get gooil prices this fall for what cotton
they do make, as throughout the belt
lhere has been great injury to the
growing crop. The average condition
this July is reported at 75.(>. This is
the lowest in twenty-five years. A
year ago the July report put the condi
tion at 87.8. Unless there is a great
improvement in the August and Sep
tember reports the outlook is that
there will be the smallest crop in many
years. This ought to make the high
est prices in ten years
