22 Pounds Sugar.
12 Cans Corn.
10 Cans Peas.
10 Cans Beans.
We are after you, and if the best of
goods at prices sujh as second-class
goods are sold will prove an appetiz
ing bait, we will get yon this time.
When and where did you ever buy
22 pounds of Granulated sugar, good
as money can buy, for |l. Duringthe
next three days you can get it that
way from us. When you are told that
it is an off grade, and the best can’t
be sold at such prices, invite the
know-all to come with you and see
what can and will be done.
The old prices 12 and 15c per can,
but we have promised to have bar-
I gains for you six days in the week,
* and now you can get 12 cans of sweet
sugar corn for sl, 10 cans early June
paas for sl, 10 cans beans for sl.
Here it is, nothing like it ever of
sered in Rome, but our idea is to hold
, what we have and cast our books into
the trade pond of our competitors and
■get some of their best customers.

MR. CAM PUA’S COUNT
Bryan Has 283 Electoral Votes to a
Certainty
THE SITUATION AS NOW EPITOMIZED
Report a. Sent Out by the Chairman of the
National CampVgi
Committee
Chicago, Oct. 28 —Chairman Cam
pau. of the democratic national cam
paign committee, received today, in
response to instructions issued some
time ago, telegraphic reports from
thirty-two democratic state chairmen,
giving estimates as to how the states
will record their votes one week from
today, based on the latest informa
tion received by the state committees.
This is the last formal report that
will be made by the state chairmen.
After compiling the advices received
Chairman Campau made the follow
ing statement to the Southern Asso
ciated Press:
"The democratic national committee
awaits the results of next week’s election
with serene confidence. William Jen
nings Bryan will be elected by the largest
popular majority given any president in
a quarter of a century. He will have
more than 300 votes in the electoral col
lege. Our reports from the middle
western states show the effect of his won
derful campaigning tour through them.
His majorities will be increased by many
thousands as a result of his great journey.
Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, lowa, Minne
sota are absolutely safe and our chances
of success in Ohio and Wisconsin are more
than flattering.
“Senator Gorman guarantees us Mary
land. Our reports from Kentucky are
that republican monopoly and democratic
treason will be outvoted by more than
40,000. The desperate effort to coerce
and buy the American people is doomed
to dismal and humiliating failure. The
following states will give their votes for
Bryan without the shadow of a doubt:
“ Alabama, California, Florida, Idaho,
Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Mississippi, Montana, . Nevada, North
Dakota. South Carolina, Tennessee,
Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Arkan
sas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, lowa,
Kentucky, Maryland. Minnesota, Mis
souri, Nebraska, North Carolina. Ore
gon. South Dakota, Texas, Virginia,
West Virginia. Total electoral votes
283.
“In addition to this our chances of
success in the following states are far
better than those of the republicans:
“Delaware, Ohio, Wisconsin.. Total
electoral votes 38.
* ‘The brag aad bluster of the republi
can i ational committee in claiming 350
electoral votes is shown in the conclu
sion in their estimates of such states as
Texas, Idaho, Utah and Montanna,
where the majority for Bryan can only
be measured by considering almost the
whole voting population for him. It is
time that the people understood plainly
that McKinley will not carry the coun
try.” -

I notice that Susan B. Anthony, of
woman suffrage fame, is advising all
women to cultivate the habit of wear
ing pockets. Now, I want to register
my kick against any such encroach
ment upon our rights. It is a sure
precursor of a revolutionary and dan
gerous movement.
Women have already encroached so
far upon the domain of man that we
scarcely have left a garment that we
can call our own.
My best girl wears bloomers occa
sionally, but they are most always
out of sight, and, besides, she’s ex
cusable this cold weather.
But this threatened infringement of
the right vested in onr vest pockets is
a matter that merits serious consider
ation. For a man, estimating them

distributed between his three princi
pal garments; but women are noto-

-THE ROME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2». LB9b.
Fifty Years Ago.
President Polk in the White House chair,
While in Lowell was Doctor Ayer;
Both were busy for human weal
One to govern and one to heal.
And, as a president’s power of will
Semetimes depends on a liver-pill,
Mr. Polk took Ayer’s Pills I trow
For his liver, 50 years ago.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills
were designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared'and their in
gredients adjusted to the exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their popularity was in
stantaneous. That this popu
larity has been maintained is
well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at ths
World's Fair 1893.

rious for the number of articles they
wear, and even the man twenty years
married cannot accurately figure on
their total or minutely describe a sin
gle one.
There is a lot of monkey faculty of
imitativeness in the female branch of
the human family, and'for it to adopt
pockets after the fashion and detail
of men would be very astounding in
results.
According to radical investigations, '
whose results were corroborate! by
vital statistics, it takes an American
woman 27 minutes and twenty-seven
seconds to find her solitary pocket. Os
course I calculate additional time for
emergencies of excitement
And when she finds her pocket a
further delay ensues while she is so adjust-1
ing it that she can thrust her hand within, I
to discover that the thing she seeks is not
there but in her hand bag. Then arises
another delay.
Now, imagine a woman tucked out with
a score of pockets, and going through
hersel like a man, in search of her purse
or her loose change! Why, Gabriel’s
bugle blow would find the remainder of
humanity waiting in line to get to thq,
ticket window!
If they start on pockets we are gone
up! Let’s draw the line at that.

Judging a Cycle Raca
Did you ever act as a judge ata
cycle race? No. Well just fill the po
sition once, and then when you re
turn to your comfortable seat in the
grand stand and pose as a spectator
you will be more charitable in your
treatment of a judge who may have
placed a rider wrongly in a finish of
the inches variety. It is one of the
hardest tasks imaginable to pick out
the prize winners in a field extending
all across the track and separated by
the closest margins. Not every man
can be a successful judge, and only he
of the quick eye and calm disposition
should ever trust himself at the tape.
Complaints innumerable have been
registered this season against incom
petent judging, but never before
were there so many close finishes as
have characterized the racing this
year.

THE SPECTATOR. i
“Wilbur Brown was in town Tuesday]
and regaled a crowd of the boys at the
Armstrong with some of his unique
darkey stories, one of which illustrated
the plantation darkey’s love for riding
on the train. Here it is: “ ,
An old gray haired darkey was
ploughing along the cotton rows
when the vestibule came whizz
ing by. The engineer blew the four
blasts for the road crossing, the darkey
stopped plowing and waved his hand
at the train and said: “You may toot—
toot—toot toot-butize—gwine— to—ride
yon—Sataday—sho, git up dar buck,
ain I done tule you dese here eengines
gwinter git you inter trouble yit.”
The commuters between Bristol,
Knoxville and Chattanooga and the
traveling public generally, know Cap
tain Nimrod Bell, who has punched the
“pink trip slip” for many a year. The
captain fir a long time couldn’t get a
negro porter that would attend faithful
ly to duty, so he hit upon the plan of
getting a real green country darky and
break him in, which he accordingly did. j
On the first trip down Captain Bell told
his new hand “Now when I come in one 1
end of the coach and call out the name
of the station you call out the same in
your end.” “All right boss.” They
rolled up into the edge of Cleveland.'
The captain poked his head in the smoker
and yelled ‘‘Cleveland,” the darkey
simultaneously poked his head in the
other end and shouted • ‘Same in dis end
boss” and a shout of laughter went up
even from the sour passenger on the coal
box. |
The captain finally gave him instruct
ions to repeat verbally, so they rolled on
towards Chattanooga and while the air
brakes were making the wheels screak
the conductor yelled “Ooltewah.” The
boy mumbled a whole lot of inarticulate
cherokee dialect, when the tobacco
drummer waked up and asked “what
place is this, porter?” The porter look
ed at him a moment askance and with
disgust replied: “Now look a hear
boss, you heerd whut I sed.”
Uncle Sanford Bell, the W. & A. con-[
ductor, now stock claim ageist, was
noted far and wide as one of the most
polite and accomodating knights of the
ball cord, but woe unto him who had no
pass or tried to work the rabbits foot on
him. He just simply couldn’t be hoo
dooed. A discharged train hand wanted
to dead head down to Atlanta to get ;
a job if he could, he had heard of Uncle 1
Sanford but didn’t know him by sight. |
He walked into the union depot just ba-.
fore train time and by maladroit coin
cidence, Jmet Uncle Sanford who had not
I yet donned his uniform for the trip and |
asked him if be “knew who went out
on the W. &A. that morning’.’ Uncle
Sanford was alive to the situation at once
but didn’t let on and replied, “Let me
1 see,” thoughtfully casting his eye
up toward the big iron beams
across the depot, “I believe old
l Sanford Bell goes out ” “Blankety- 1
blank blank his old soul all couldn’t
I ride wid that old duffer” and turned
away crestfallen, while Uncle Sanford
gave a quarter to a blind woman and
shouted “all aboard” for Dalton.
