U cannot extinguish lour
electric light by blow
ing. Neither can U match
us on EMBROIDERIES.
Have you tapped us for a bargain since the holidays ?
If you haven’t, you better had. But if you’ll come right
away you won’t have to bore very deep to become a mon¬
,
ey saver. You see we are unlike other folks. Now that
they are selling on long time old goods are as good as new
-f with them and NO PRICE COMES TOO HIGH. With us
the case is different. Nobody is under obligation to us.
Our trade demands brand spanking new snoods of the latest
style and very lowest price. They have come to look upon
our store as headquarters for these things and consequently
now while others are marking their left-over-goods up to go
out on a credit, we are cutting right and left to close out
every rag of this season’s goods, and we are doing it.
Now don’t be so foolish as to think we are just blowing
our horn, and that you can buy goods somewhere else just
as cheap. You can’t do any such thing and you’ll show
mighty good horse sense to come over and see what we
are talking about if you need anything to wear.
O ur we CLOTHING are selling is AT not COST old
only to keep it young.

BRITISH BANKRUPTS.
PRIVILEGES WHICH ARE ACCORDED
BY LAW TO PEERS.
Some English Legal Decisions as te
What Constitnte the Necessaries of
Life — They Widely Differ From
Duke to Ordinary Mortal.
Recent bankruptcy cases in London
have brought up various legal decisions
which have been reached in England '
on the subject of what are necessaries
of life for men of various stutions and
degrees who are not in command of
their own Incomes.
A duke, for Instance, or even a mar¬
quis or an earl is entiUed by law to
one bottle of champagne a day if his
trustees hold the money to pay for it
In the case of the former Duke of Man¬
chester the inw decided that seven bot¬
tles of champagne a week are neces¬
sary to a duke whose affairs may be in
the hands of trustees and that if he
had not the control of his own income
he must be allowed to have a carriage
with one horse, a riding horse as well,
one manservant and a house with «
rent of not less than £250 a year; oth¬
erwise he must be allowed to have the
use of £2,000 a year, while the rest
might be allowed to accumulate for the
good of the estate till the trustee pe¬
riod expired.
A viscount or a baron is allowed by
law to describe as necessaries things
which smaller fry might struggle along
without. Ilut a viscount’s income
provided there is anybody to pay it—is
fixed at £1,500 a year and a baron’s at
£1,000. He is, supposing any guard¬
ians have a few thousands a year to
pay out to him according to discretion,
only entitled to claret as a beverage.
for his yearly wine allowance only runs
! to £00, which would not keep him lu
i champagne unless he drank it very sel¬
dom. The duke's wine bill may run
to £ 150 .
The viscount must have a carriage,
but it may be attached for debt, and
he cannot force bis guardians to give
hlm a horse. Of course, if he has no
1 guardians, nor any Income, either, be
must do as other people and go with¬
out, but these things are considered
necessary to peers. A manservant is
i allowed to a viscount or baron, but
the house rent need not exceed £200,
nor can it be less than £ 150 .
A doctor Is better off than a viscount
in cne way—his carriage cannot be
seized in most cases, nor can the ex¬
penses of it be reckoned in his income
| tax returns. In selling up a doctor for
debt be may retain one horse, and two
of his carpets are considered as neces¬
saries to his business —to the ball and
consulting room—and reckoned at £20
apiece. He may have surgical instru¬
ments and medical appliances to the
value of £1,000, and these cannot be
seized.
An ordinary man can retain nothing
but his clothes, bis hairbrushes and a
few stern necessaries of that kind. No
wine is allowed to a doctor, but if a
student in the hands of trustees, be can
demand a couple of servants and a
house rent of £60 per year.
The son of a well to do merchant or
tradesman making about £1,000 a year
can demand neither wine nor horses
nor servants, but tbe law may allow
him a rent of £50 and another £150 or
£200 to keep himself on, supposing lie
Is in tbe bands of guardians, whether
under or over age. As to debt, he can
be sold up, bar his personal necessaries
and bis clothes, though he is not gen¬
erally allowed to keep more than six
suits of the latter.
If be has more a Judge might allow
them to be taken with the other chat¬
tels, and be can be left without a ebair
to sit on or a spoon to eat with. Jewel¬
ry, If he has any, can be taken; but if
he' has, say, two pairs of valuable of
sleeve links he can keep only one
them. In tbe same way he may keep
a dress suit, but if be has two an order
may be made to sell up one of them.
A lawyer can have 560 books on legal
subjects or In some way pertaining to
law, and these have to be left alone by
the brokers. There are extreme cases
In which everything, even necessaries,
may be taken, but the lawyer may also
demand exemption even in such cases
for his wigs, or at least two of them,
and two gowns, As a student in the
hands of guardians he can make them
pay him £80 a year for chambers, and
they must pay his examination and
other fees.
A clergyman or minister of any kind
Is worst off of ail and can keep very
little for himself, He can make bis
guardians come down with the fees his
profession needs, however, and if he
lives in the country as a curate and
has some trustees and also a guardian
he can make them supply him with a
gardener.

For the first time in years, if not
since the war, the confederate vet¬
erans of Georgia have the opportu¬
nity of electing an ex-private con¬
federate soldier to the office of gov¬
ernor.
In the past a number of confed¬
erate officers have been honored
high in politics, but the private sol
dier, the man who did the fighting |
when fighting was to be done, has 1
been kept in the background.
This year Private John Estill is
a candidate for the office of gov
err, or. He served through the war
as One of the rank and file, sharing
the fortunes of the foot-sore and
ragged boys who handled the guns.

rades , • state . . that , , better ,,

Would it not be the proper thing
for all of the former confederate
soldiers—officers and privates, pri
vates especially—to unite in tnak
frig a governor out of Private J? 5 -
till?
III the past we have heard much
complaint from confederate \eter
ans that private soldiers were not
put forward for high positions.
They have no cause to complain
this year, because Hon. J. H. Es¬
till, a private soldier, is in the race
for this high office,—Dublin Cour

Customs Dodgers
Liable to Fine.
The customs officers in Atlanta
Saturday imposed a fine on a lady
m Birmingham for unlawful
portations through the mails, and
the law in that respect is worth
knowing. The importation in ques
tion was only a small quantity of
Chinese silk but she was compelled
to pay a fine not only . equal t . to the
duty but to the foreign cost of the
goods. receiving
Under the law persons
merchandise through the mail from
foreign countries must submit to
having their package held up by
the postmaster who in turn informs
the customs officer. If the pack
age is regular and it is shown that
there is no intention to defraud the
government it will be released by
the customs officers on payment of
a fine equal to the duty provided
by law. On subsequent importa
tions through the mails the ad
dressee is forced to pay the origi¬
nal or foreign cost as well as the
duty provided by law. Atlanta
