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 are showing as handsome ali -e as was ever shown in Macon and at p ices that will surprise you. The greatest Shirt bargains cveroffered in Macon. The Negligee for only 45c.

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. deg, stnm.opnsziprovit'har htrah raharorar I don’t claim to be a Singer, but I am Something that is needed in every House hold where White or Colored people want a Standard make of a New Home Sewing Machine, because the New Home Machine never gets out of order like some others.

The question of a successor to Superin tendent 'Lane, of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad has been generally dis cussed in railroad circles but it is not thought that any appointment will be made at once. The following circular letter has been issued from the office of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad: To Agents and Connections: Owing to the death of our late respected general superintendent, Mr. J. Lane, the duties heretofore performed by him will be assumed by the vice-president until further notice. William Checkley Shaw, Vice-President. MANY FAIL To Secure a License to Teach in Bibb Count*.

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 ing.
