THE HOUSE OF KUPPENHEIME&
There is a certain distinction and attrac
tiveness about Kuppenheimer Clothes. It’s
possible for a suit to be distinctly stylish
and handsome and yet be conservative.
You would scarcely expect the well dressed
Lawyer, Doctor, Banker, Railroad Man,
Mechanic or Farmer from 40, 50, or 60
years of age to like the same style suit as the
yougster of 18, 20, 22 or the society fellow
of 25, 30 or 35.
Kuppenheimer Suits
and
Overcoats
Attract the young and the older men too, because
there is a peculiar mode—a certain refinement about
the older models as well as the snappier effect of the
younger men’s suit. There are Kuppenheimer Models
for all ages, and all are backed up by the Kup
penheimer Label and Guarantee, which assures
REAL satisfaction.
A white silk necktie thrown in with every suit sold
for wedding purposes.
Of course 1 feature the correct Hats, Shoes and Fur
nishing goods that are stylish and classy to go along
with Kuppenheimer Clothes.
Stanly-Manly
Boys Clothes
are in the same class with Kuppenheimer Clothes, therefore very
popular with good dressers. Not expensive but Economical be
cause of the REAL wear.

POLITICAL POTSHOTS
(Continued from page one.)
vey, that “eternal triangle” that
brought a certain degree of coolness
during the recent presidential election
have met, broken bread, and are now
happy, good fellows together.
Col. Harvey broke the thin ice that
separated these three distinguished
Americans, by calling on the president.
Then “Marse Henry” went to see
President Wilson, and the report has
been broadcasted that all’s well.
They have wagged paws all around,
• the little storm cloud has disappeared
, and all • are pulling for the success* of
I democracy. It is well.
War Prices! War Prices!!
Best grade RUBBER TIRES
put on for $12.00 PER SET.
Why don 9 1 you ride on rubber?
It is cheaper than STEEL TIRES,
because it saves your buggy and
is more comfortable riding.
We only have a limited amount
of this RUBBER and when it is
gone the other will be higher.
Better act quick.
Ault & Edwards
Under a little, one-line, black-face
caps and lower case, appears the news
that Col. Roosevelt spoke last week in
Indiana. Time was when the colonel
had only to cough to have his picture
spread over the front page of all news
papers in the country; but now he has
to be satisfied with “personal mention”
along with the other interesting news
on the market pages of the daily
papers.
Next Tuesday will bring national
elections all over the country, and the
results- will go far toward showing just
how the people look upon the demo
cratic administration.
As it stands now, the democrats are
in safe control at Washington, and be
tween now and Tuesday there will be
some unusually stout campaigning to
ke$p that control.
The election is one of the most far
reaching importance. Democracy is on
trial, and democrats don’t fear the ver
dict of the American people which will
be rendered at the polls Tuesday.
The Advertised Article
mT is one in which the merchant himself has im-
plicit faith—else he would not advertise it.
You are safe in patronizing the merchants whose
ads appear in this paper because their goods are
U P-to-date and never shopworn.
Suffragists from all parts of the
United States will invade Nashville,
Tenn., November 10-11, for the purpose
of holding the forty-sixth annual con
vention of the National American
Woman’s Suffrage association.
There will be delegates from the
organization in forty-three different
states, and in addition to the dele
gates, there will be an abundance of
speeches.
Just what steps Nashville will tkae
to protect its public buildings from the
brick-throwing brigade the city has not
yet determined.
The cause is growing rapidly in favor
in the United States, and it is only a
matter of time before the whole coun
try will have votes for women. On
November 3, Montana, Nevada, North
and South Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio
will vote on a constitutional .amend
ment giving the ballot to women. Many
states have already voted favorably on
the proposition.
Nashville will entertain some of the
most distinguished women of the coun
try at the convention, and that city has
been signally honored in being chosen
as the 1914 meeting place.
According to newspaper dispatches,
the Republicans of a congressional dis
trict in South Carolina have nominated
a negro for congressman, but then the
reports may be colored. In spite of
this, however, he hasn’t yet taken his
seat in this distinguished body, and his
chances of election are decidedly
“dark.” This action has at last satis
factorily explained just what that
“dark horse” proposition means.
FORMER DALTON LADY

of this city, and a former resident of

Another View on Cotton—
What the Merchant Says
Jm
Appended is q, copy of a letter sent
out by the Nash Hardware Company,
of Fort Worth, Tex., which gives a
merchant’s views of the cotton situa
tion:
Nash Hardware Company.
Ft. Worth, Tex., Oct. 12th, 1914.
To the Retail Traded
In Re—Holding Cotton.
We are not in the cotton business,
but we know enough to say that an
article or a commodity, is only worth
what it. will bring when it is offered
for sale. If 8c. per pound, .or even 7c.
per pound, is all that a fanner can get
for cotton, then that is all cotton is
worth regardless of what it costs to
raise it.
It is said that a farmer cannot raise !
cotton at less than 10c. per pound, yet
a great many thousand farmers got
rich or, at least independent, raising
it at 7c. per pound, and that was when
everything else that he raised was sold
at a very much lower figure than is rul
ing today. Besides this he didn’t' get
$7.00 per bale for seed, as: he gets to
day.
We give you the following compari
sons:
He buys a heo for 50c. that used to
cost 75c'.
He buys a hoe for 50c. that used to
cost 35c.
He buys a singletree at 35c. that
used to cost 50c.
He buys a sweep at 8c. that used
to cost 15c. per lb.
He buys a plier at 75c. that used to
cost $2.00.
He buys nails at 4c. that used to cost
5c. per lb.
He buys wire at 3%c. that used to
cost 10c. per lb.
He buys hames at 50c. that used to
cost 75c.
He buys traces at 45c. that used to
cost 75c.
He pays 60c. for picking where lie
used to pay $1.00.
He borrows money at 8% to 10%
where he used to pay 12% and 15%.
He sells wheat at $1.00 that used to
bring 60c.
He sells oats at 50c. that used to
bring 18c.
He sells corn at 75c. that used to
bring 15c.
He sells hay at $14.00 that used to
bring $4.00.
He sells turkeys at $2.25 and some
times $4.00 that used to bring 60c. and
75c.
He sella chickens at $3.50: that used
to sell at $1.25 to $1.50 per dozen.
He sells a horse at $150.00 to $225.00
that used to sell from $50.00 to $100.00.
When he was confronted with the
above conditions he bought land on
time, cleared it, fenced it, and soon
paid for it, raising cotton at 7c. per
lb. But if, indeed, he is making less
profit this year than formerly, the same
condition is true with you, and with us,
and with the business world at large.
He ought not to put himself in the
attitude of a mendicant or, as the
Indian, a ward of the government. He
ought to be a good sport. He ought to
take his losses just as manfully and as
gracefully as the rest of us, are doing.
While the above figures are not abso
lutely correct, nevertheless they are
accurate enough to demonstrate that
the farmer is getting the best of the
situation and is enjoying life while the
balance of us are sweating blood. The
retail. merchant owes it to himself, to
his jobber and to his bank to insist on
the fanners selling, at least a> part of
their cotton. A man has an unques
tioned right to speculate on his own
money, but he has no right to. specu
late on the other fellows money. The
farmer has a right to hold his cotton
till doomsday if he does not owe any
thing; but he has no right whatever
to hold his cotton to the financial em
barrassment of the retail merchant who
since spring has clothed and fed his
wife and children and furnished him
with' the means with which to make
that cotton. It is hard on the farmer
to be disappointed about the price
1 which he thought he was going to get,
but it is a whole lot harder on the re
tail merchant to go broke because the
farmer won’t sell his cotton and pay
his honest debts. The conditions are
not half as hard on him as on the re
tail and wholesale merchants who are
losing hundreds and thousands of dol
lars because the farmer, by holding
his cotton has stopped the entire ma
chinery of business. Nor is it quite
as hard ou him as on the thousands
of hungry men and women which his
bad business judgment and rebellion at
fate has thrown out of employment and,
in many cases, on the charity of the
world.
We suggest to - merchants generally,
and we insist on our customers, espe
cially, pressing the farmer to sell his
cotton and pay his debts that the re
tail merchant may pay his debts and
that we may also pay our debts. These
remarks may appear to you somewhat
gratuitous, at the same time they are
well worthy of your thoughtful consid
eration. Respectfully,
CHAS. E. NASH, President
NASH HARDWARE CO.
