In Business stars V of Fortune in

Astronomy. the Skies..

firmament as
well? We claim
when it comes to
price mak’g candle
power this particu
lar star is an orb of the
first magnitude.For the
past 10 years it has been
the beacon light for bar
. . gain hunters in Men’s and
Boys’ Clothing. For ten
year it has shed its effulg
ence oyer the Clothing,
trade of Macon and whole of Middle Georgia. This is no boast, but an astronomical fact, as well established
as the orbits of our celestial prototypes. Like the Pole Star we point in but one direction—best quality for
the least money, but like other stars we shine with greater brilliancy at times than others. This is
the time when we shine most brightly. When the Clothing skies are darkest we give forth
the most light And any one who can read the signs of the times knows right well that
the wir clouds have darkened the skies of the summer Clothing trade. Therefore
we have continued to put forth more light; we have removed the thin shade
profit—from every Bargain Luminary in our establishment, thus causing
every price to shine forth in increased splendor and attractiveness.
And the way the wise men, and the women, too, are flocking this
way proves that they have read the meaning of this unusual
light in the Clothing Firmament. Within the past few
days we have perhaps sold more Men’s, Youth’s
and Boys’ Clothing, Hats, Underwear. Fur
nishings, etc , than all the other Clothing
h uses of Macon combined, though we lose as
much on a day’s sales as they expect to make.
Profit, however, is not the object of this sale. To
get rid of too large stock at once, pending a change
in business is the desired end. Be guided by us in
these things. The following are some of the satel
lites in this galaxy of bargains. In Neckwear we

FRUITGROWERS ~
ME NOT ANCRY.
Thev Simply Think that the
Central Has Been Egre
gariously Presumptions.
MEDDLED IN THEIR BUSINESS
In a Most Unwarranted Way and
Made a Gigantic Mistake in
Doing So.
The meeting of the fruit growers at the
Brown House 'tomorrow will be one of the
deepest interest and of the greatest impor
atnee to the fruit growers who are unable
to attend and to the business interests all
over the state.
Under the statement made by 'Messrs.
John D. Cunningham, the president of the
National Association of Fruit Growers,
and Colonel Dudley Hughes, the president
of the Georgia Association, it would seem
. that a saving of at least $50,000 might
made to the growers by the cancelling of
the contract now existing between the Cen
tral Railroad and the Armous Refrigerat-
■ ing car people.
This being true, and there are no more
I responsible men in the state than those
j who make them, every merchant and every
I business man in the state is interested.
• and none more than the business men and
i merchants of Macon.
It means that $50,000 more money will
’ go out of this section of the state than
■ ought to go out and that it will go into the
I pockets of the Central Railroad and of the
I Armour people, but principally to the Ar
! mour people.
This is a large drain, and it means a
very considerably portion of the profits to
j be made on the crop.
A very prominent fruit grower speaking
io a News reporter this morning, said that
the fact of the matter was that the profits
of the growers were to be almost entirely
wiped up by the railroads and the refriger
ator people unless this present tariff couM
be arranged.
“The refrigerator people,” he said, “are
not in this discussion, although we have
invited them to the meeting tomorrow’. Os
■ course it was to their interest to make the
‘ contract if they could and it is to their in
; terest to hold the railroad to it. We do
not charge the refrigerator people with be
! ing philanthropists, nor are they here for
their health. They will not deny. I sup
pose, that they are out fqr all they ean_
get. This is what ttfe growers are out for.
"We do not make any charages against
the Central railroad nor is there any bad
feeling existing. We simply say that the
. Central had no business to take charge of
MACON NIW9 WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE m 1898.
the most important part of our business
and arrange for it without consulting us.
We claim to be as well able to handle our
business as the Central railroad, and if
the Central will stick to its business we
will stick to ours. We do not propose to
allow the Central or Mr. Egan to hire our
refrigerator cars or to make contracts for
refrigerator cars for us.
That is all there is in this question. It
is a mistake to think that there is the
slightest ill feeling. We think that it is a
piece of presumption on the part of the
Central to interfere in our offairs and we
will tell them so at the meeting tomor
row.”
All the railroad men and the refrigerator
car men are invited to attend the meeting
tomorrow, and a special invitation to this
effect has been sent out to the roads and
the representatives of other car lines.

The question of a successor to Superin

thought that any appointment will be made
at once.
The following circular letter has been
issued from the office of the Georgia

SCHOOL CHILDREN
MEET FRIDAY.
The First Organization of the
Great Chorus Will Then
Begin.
The call for a meeting of principals of
Public Schools met with a most grati
fying response.
The teachers have entered with enthu
siasm into the work of the library cele
bration on the Fourth, and the outlook
for a big chorus is most encouraging.
It was decided to post notices all over
the city in the neighborhood of the va
rious schools to the effect that all school
children taking part in the Fourth of July
chorus will be admitted to the park free
of charge.
The school children of the city are invi
ted to meet at the annex to Mulberry
Street church on Friday morning at 9
o'clock, when the first work of organizing
the big chorus will begin.
The committee in charge of the Mulber
ry church annex have strained a po'nt in
permitting the gathering of the children
at the church Friday morning, and it was
allowed solely on account of the deep in
terest felt in the Public Library, for which
the board of directors feel deeply obliged.
Parents are requested not to send their
children to the church earlier than 9
o’clock, and a committee of ladies will be
on hand to enforce strict order.
Every school child in 'Macon who loves
the Public Library and who desire to as
sist in making the Fourth of July a glo
rious day will meet at Mulberry church
annex promptly at 9 o’clock Friday morn
