Bargains !
You might have
heard of Bargains and
cut prices, but when
you come to our store
ou can see them
without strain i n g
your eyes. Our com¬
petitors say they can
not see how we sell
goods so cheap. We
know how to buy is
one reason, and the
other is, we don’t care
to make all our profit
at once.
Others may give
you a rebate of ten
per cent, but when
they do they lack 10
per cent at least of
coming any way near
our price.
Get their ten per
cent cut and then see
us; we’ll do you good.

Ship Was Blown up by a Mine.
Tuesday of this week President
McKinley sent to congress the

belongs : The following is a brief
summary ~ :

McKinley Demands the Independence of
Cuba and Must have Answer in
that Time. Hostilities
May Follow.
Washington, March 30 . —The Presi :ent assured a committee of
Senators this afternoon that he had given Spain 60 hours to make reply
to his note demanding independence. Spain has certified her intention
of responding by tomorrow afternoon. This will give plenty of time
to intercept the Spanish flotilla should the answer be unfavorable.
The Spanish government wired this afternoon asking this govern¬
ment if it would consider any other plan than total independence. The
president wired back, “No. 5 ?
Mr. Porter, the president’s private secretary today said :
“It is natural that all sorts of plans should be discussed. Of all
the propositions which has been entertained from time to time, the pres¬
ident has not given a serious thought to any which did not have as its
basis the cessation of hostilities in Cuba and the absolute independence
of the Island.”
Even should Spain intimate her willingness to subscribe to this
pj an ^ con gress will grant very little time for its culmination. There Jis
no temper of compromise in congress. Eliminate the Cuban question
anc j there still stands the Maine disaster growing blacker and bigger
the longer congress looks at it. As an evidence of the president’s de¬
termination to let congress handle the matter and make it responsible
for the result, he has asked the committe on foreign affairs to appoint a
sub-committee to confer with him.
The president is asking for only one more day. He sent for Re¬
publicans last night and begged them to hold congress until Thursday.
It is not the question of the day or the hours now, but of the minute.
Advices have been receive here that, two battleships and one more
torpedo destroyer left Spain for Cuba this morning. This is not taken
as indicative of any especial desire for peace on the part of Spain.

Monster En Route to Gal¬

A twelve-inch,67,000 pound gun,
en route to Galveston, spent a few’
minutes in the city Monday evening.
It was the second of this size that
has passed through Atlanta since
the present defensive preparations
were inagurated.
The arrival of the monster was
known to but a few’. It arrived
over the Southern and went from
Atlanta via the Atlanta and West
Point railroad to its destination.
Two cars were required to trans¬
port it.

pain and suffering may be avoided.
