FUSION IS DEAD.
Later Show this Fact Above All
Others.
Special to The News.
Atlanta. Oct. 7. —Later election returns
than those published only go to show an
Increase in the tremendous Democratic vic
tory throughout the state. The most dis
tinctive feature of the result is the. almost
absolute elimination of the Populist. Re
publican and Independent minority in the
'legislature, and the repudiation of the fu
sion ticket whenever and wherever it
showed its face. In combining with the
uegros and Republicans the Populists lost
entirely and permanently the support of
the best elemnt of their party, and in their
blind hunt for office they lost the very last
excuse they have for political existence —
the sympathy of a good portion of 'the vot
ers of the state. It is idle o say that the
overwhelming rebuke administered on last
Wednesday will end the Populists, for there
are still a number of self-seeking politi
cians among them who will keep the or
ganization alive in preference to working
for a living, but it may be said in all truth,
that the populist party as a factor in Geor
gia politics, is deader than the proverbial
doornail.
And fusion is dead, too. The voters of
Georgia were warned in time of the effort
to introduce North Carolina political meth
ods into the state, and their response was
so prompt and emphatic that it is not prob
able the game will be started again.
Wherever there was a fusion ticket it was
supported only- by white men who think
more of office -than they- do of good citizen
ship and negroes who do not think at all.
The result is decisive. Decent white men
repudiated, the deal and in she Eleventh
congressional district, where the Wilkin
son- Hanson-Milikin circus is still on ex
hibition. the Democratic ticket was given
a majority- of 6.000 votes. Late last night
the report reached Atlanta that Wilkinson
appreciated the handwriting on the wall
and would retire from the congressional
race, but w hether he does or not, his candi
dacy has served its purpose and a fusion
ticket in Georgia after this will be courted
as a farmer courts a rattlesnake—with a
club.

GREEN TESTIFIED
Before Investigating Commis
sion in Washington.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 7. —GenJral F. V.
Greene, who was in charge of one division
of the United States army at the battle
of Manila was before the war investigat
ing committee at the forenoon session.
He tailed frem San Francisco to Manila
on the steamer China. He found the ship
in good condition, but the men -were un
necessarily crowded. Four months’ provis
ions and a large quantity of quartermas
ter’s and medical supplies were carried.
With a few exceptions the loading was
carefully done, though there was some mis
placement owing t haste.
General Greene said there was no com
plaint during the voyage as to scarcity of
supplies, but during the first few* days
there was some dissatisfaction with the
cooking. This was soon improved and no
criticism was heard afterwards.
The details of the ocea ntrip and the bat
tle of Manila were related in a manner
calling for the closest attention from the
commissioners, but covering the same
ground as his report to the war department.
He spoke of the insurgents which lay be
tween his forces and the Spanish lines. It
was, the witness said, impossible to give
an estimate of their number, but he
thought it was about 10,000. They were
well supplied with Mauser and Remington,
rifles, many of which were captured from
the Spanish and others they had purchased
abroad.

Fires Make Bargains.
I
This is what a lady said yesterday 7 while buy
ing a large bill of shoes at THE BIG SHOE
STORE. It is true. We are forced to sell Shoes
at ruinously low prices in consequence of the re
cent fire. But it is a consolation to know that our
patrons are getting the benefits of our misfortune.
It Is a Losing Game.
But we had rather pocket our loss at once and
get in another big stock before the winter trade
fully opens. Our present stock represents the
choicest goods that could be bought, and you may
rest assured that you are not getting any ancient
shop-worn shoes.
Prompt Action Is The Thing.
The public, appreciating the genuineness of
our announcement, is flocking to our sto r e in
‘droves, and, finding the goods and prices just as
represented, are buying liberally. So, if you want
choice selections, fits and styles, you had better
come at once.
Don’t Let the Chance Go By.
There’s no use to look for more startling re
ductions. We could not make lower prices without
giving ths goods away. You must remember that
our prices before the fire were far below those of
other dealers.
No Hard Stock Carried
•
Vvhen you come' to our store, examine the
leather and brake oi the shoes offered you, and
compare them with the goods seen elsewhere at |
“bargain prices.” We carry no hard stock. When /
we order again we shall duplicate our present
goods.
4
All Kinds of Shoes.
You can’t come here without finding exactly
what you want in the way of fine shoes or ordinary
shoes for men, women, boys, girls and children.
The big reduction sale is on all alike. Thousands
of these shoes have no defects whatever, and those
that are injured at. all are not injured much.
•I
Get Youi Winter’s Supply. -
You’ll never have a better opportunity to do
so. Such goods at such prices are not offered but
once in a lifetime. tVe can fit all feet. Bring the
children around, and tell your country kinfolks of
the bargains that are now on at THE BIG
SHOE STORE.
