HOW IS THIS FOR HIGH !
Lis ento my new scheme of buying watches
tor thirty-six members of a club. Each man just
as soon as he draws a watch w 11 drop out, until
all members will have watches of various grades,
'this club will have four grades of watches, vary
ing from $12.50 to $40.00, except the last man will
draw a watch worth $!0.00. If you don’t under
stand my new scheme, just drop into my $1.00 a
week store, and I will give you the inside track
on the whole busiaess. emember every mem
ber will get a watch, and no one member will be
responible for any other member, for just as
soon as one member draws a watch he drops out,
and he will not pay any more money to the club.
Here is the way ail members will draw their
watches:
First—Nine members will draw a watch each
weak worth $12.50 cash.
Second—Nine members will draw a watch
worth $20.00,
Third—, ine merub.rs will draw a watch worth
$30. 0.
Fourth-Eight members will draw a watch
worth $40 CO.
The ;ast member will draw a watch worth
$‘.0.00, so come up and join the club on my new
plan.
No mortgage, no security, and every man re
sponsible for himself and no other.
Yours with new scheme,

Returned From Tallulah.
Mr. A. J. Biddle, who has just returned
from that historic summer resort, Tallu
lah Falls, showed us some splendid views,
which he tells us will be on exhibition
next week when he opens his gallery.
One view is a remarkabie freak of nature,
representing a coilossal profile—true to
nature. The major speaks in glowing
terms of Tallulah as a health and pleasure
resort.
George Lewis Steals a Pistol.
George Lewis, colored, entered Eifler’s
gun store yesterday, and asked to be
shown some pistols. Mr. Will Eifler
waited on him, showing him a number of
the latest and most improved styles, and
-at a moment when Lewis thought Mr.
Eifler was not looking, he picked one up,
and started to leave the store hurriedly.
Mr. Eifler called to him to come back,
but instead, he made off at a double quick.
Mr. Eifler gave chase, but the
negro having too much the ad
vantage in the start, was soon lost
sight of by his pursuer. After running
around the block, the negro coolly walked
back od Broad street, thinking that he
would not be recognized, but in this he
was mistaken, as the officers, who had
been notified in the meantime, promptly
arrested him and lodged him in jail.
Later in the afternoon Officer Cooley re- I
covered the pistol from a little negro in !
the Sixth ward, who was trying to sell it ;
for $1,saying that it belonged to his father,
whodid not want it.
INGERSOLL’S RASH ACT.
! me Ex-Postmaster of Browneville Kills
Himself by Taking Laudanum.
Considerable excitement prevailed in
i Browneville yesterday when it became
j currently reported that ex-Postmaster In-
gersoll had committed suicide.
An investigation revealed the following
facts: Tuesday night Mr. Irgersoll bought
a bottle of laudanum at Wood’s drugstore.
Yesterday morning he was seen to take
several drinks, and about? o’clock, in the
presence of Marshal Wiikins, he drank
half of the contents of the vial, stating to
the marshal that it contained wine. In a
few minutes later, however, he showed
the marshal the label on the bottle, and
the officer was then convinced that Mr.
Ingersoll intended to kill himself. Med
ical aid was hastily summoned, but
in spite of most vigorous etrorts, Mr.
Ingersoil could not be aroused from
the deadly stupor into which he had sunk
a few minutes after he had taken the
laudnum, and in half an hour he was a
corpse.
Acting Coroner Booker held an inquest
over the remains, and the jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the facts set
forth above.
It is stated that Mr. Ingersoll had been
drinking heavily for several weeks, and
that he was very despondent at times. It
is also stated that owing to his own con
duct and dissipation, a rupture had re
cently occurred to disturb his domestic
happiness.
COTTON BRINGS ELEVEN CENTS.
Au Act ve Demand in Columbus for the
Fleecy Staple.
Good middling cotton sold readily in
Columbus at 11 cents yesterday, and mid
dling brought 101.
The local market has a strong tone and
the demand is active, as the mills here
have small stocks on hand.
A reporter talked with a number of
cotton men yesterday, and ail of them
agreed that tne prices will prevail only
for August and September delivery. They
think it advisable for the farmers to
hurry in their cotton as rapidly as possi
ble, in order to take advantage of the
prevalent prices. The receipts so far
have been very fair, and it is expected
that the fleecy staple will begin to roll in
very rapidly by the middle of next week.

Interesting Items from Seale.
Seale, Ala., August 28.—The first bale of
cotton, covered with cotton bagging, was
shipped from this place by Mr. W. P.
Boy kirn weight 466 pounds, classed mid-
ling. The bale in its Alliance, anti jute
homespun costume was e^jpiired by all
observers, and was the subject of many
complimentary remarks. Some one hap
pily said that it was as pretty as a pretty
girl in a nice, clean white dress. After
this nothing more was said. Comparison
could go no further. Five other bales in
cotton gowns have been brought to this
market since. The farmers of Bussell have
set their faces against the jute trust, and
are giving it a good fight.
Tom Tnomas, colored, brought the first
bale of new cotton to this market. Sold
here for 10J. Tom is said to be a very suc
cessful farmer.
The first sweet potatoes of the season
were brought to town Monday and sold

ing to both white and black, grown folks
and children, pigs and pickaninnies, with
out the toothsome “tater.”
The steam gin is running, now that cot
ton is coming in, and things out on West
End are livelier than usual.
The freight trains on the Mobile and

people attribute it to more mysterious
causes.

SPANISH TREASURE.
Great Excitement at St. Augustine Over a
Discovery Made Yesterday.
Jacksonville, Fla., August 2-3.—A St.
Augustine special to the Times Union says:
This city is Inia feverlof excitement to-day
over the discovery of hidden SDanish
treasure in an old house, corner Bridge-
and Marine streets. Contractor J. F.
Lambias had taken a job from Mance &
Bro. to tear down the house and clear
away the rubbish. About 11 o’clock this
forenoon an old colored man named Dan
Johnson, employed by Mr. Lambias. dug
up near the foundation of the chimney
fifty-two Spanish coins iu a rusty, metallic
pot about ten inches deep and two inches
across the mouth. Mance took pos
session of the coins, though the negro who
found them surrendered them reluctantly.
The coins are very oia, the latest dare
being 1800 and several of them antedating
1760.
The house and lot is the property of an
American lady of wealth, who some years
ago married one of the nobility of Europe,
and Mance will protect her interest if
more coin is unearthed, which is confi
dently expected. So great was the ex
citement about the premises that the
police with difficulty kept the crowd from
“staking out claims” in the cellar, and
beginning digging operations at once.
The lot has been securely fenced in and
guards are patrolling the enclosure to
night. To morrow’s operations are awaited
with deep interest.

Cotton Futures.
New York, August 28.—The Sun says:
Cotton futures were higher early in the
day, owing to a sharp advance in Liver
pool, but reacted later on, “long” liqui
dation, hammering by bears and a weak
closing in Liverpool. The weather at the
south was generally favorable. Receipts
showed an increase, and prices were lower
at New Orleans, Galveston and Savannah,
while here the spot market was depressed.
The closing prices for operations here
were irregular. Receipts at the ports were
5077 bales, against 975 this d iy last week,
and 207S last year. Cotton on spot was
easier; middling uplands 111, gulfs 113.

ONLY A DIME!
They may all talk of the “Al
mighty Dollar,” but our chat is
about the “Almighty Dime.” We
are after the dimes, and are letting
the dollars take care of themselves.
The way we propose to get the
dimes is by selling dime goods, not
nickel goods at 10 cents, but a
whole 10c. worth Come around
and see what we have just re
ceived, and you will hardly believe
your own eyes. Did you ever hear
of lsrge Bisque figures selling for
10 cents? Well, we have the finest
lice in the city, and don’t pretend
to ask more. We have also re
ceived a large and handsome line
of toys, dolls, china cups, saucers,
piates, and other articles too nu
merous to mention, and too eost.y
to advertise. Come around to our
genuine Dime Store.
