Last February, March and
April, when* we were plac
ing our orders with four of
. the best manufacturers of
L Clothing in the east for this
fall and winter, everything
looked prosperous and beau
tiful as a day in May. Con
sequently for a one-half crop
season, we bought too large
ly, and as we arc not fond
of carrying stock over to
next season, our motto is
“The First Loss is the Best
Loss." Our suits are all
marked in plain figures that
all have bought at, and are
satisfied-
The postponed hearing of the bit)
of Injunction tiled before Judge lb <1

prevent the executive romrr. irx-3
l-c .1 counting the ballots of 1 • r-
cent white primary, was called at ten
o’clock In the room of the clerk of
the city court yesterday.
An amendment waa added to the
original bill granted by tbe Judge un
til there could be a hearing, embody.
Ing the fact that the ballots as cast
that day, were not In the hands of
the managers until turned over to the
committee, but were left unsealed in
the clerk's office and then In the cafe
of fS. Sampson. Another that the de
fendants had remarked sometime be
fore the hearing that they would
throw out the election and deprive
the petitioner of the rights gained by
the primary election.
^rom this on we will give the j Attorney SnodgrasB representing
the defendants Died a demurrer to
these two amendments, hut the Judge
largest discount sale that has
ever been given in our city in

uS and you shall be satisfied.

overruled It, and the trial proceeded.
Hon. J. H. Mitchell opened for the
petitioner followed by Hon. W. C
Snodgrass for the defendants. At-
torney Titus concluded the argument
The lawyer for the defendants ar
gued that there was only precedent
to go by and that precedent was de
cidedly in favor of the recount. He
showed where this had been done In
the manner attempted by the commit
tee two times out of the last four
elections, and he argued that tbe
executive committee was the only one
to pass on these conditions.
The counsel for the petitioner
were very firm In tlielr contentiont
that no one not even the executive
committee had ever a right to touch
the ballots, and that they wero not to
be passed npon. except by the mana
gers, and this was shown to have
been done and a certificate given to
the executive committee that this was
the result of the election to the best
of their knowledge and belief. The
law was cited to the Judge from dif
ferent references which bore out
their contentions.
Affidavits were submitted by the
managers and clerks. The clerks
were unanimous In the opinion that
the ballots were correct, as far as the
mayor was concerned, there never
having been a discrepancy In the tal
ly. Mr. Lester in his affidavit stated
that there was a discrepancy In the
count hut did not specify that It was
In the mayor's count, and that It was
settled before the count was contin
ued. Mr. Lester had so stated this
to the executive committee and Attor
ney Snodgrass was of the opinion
this In itself was justification for <
recount. He also embodied In hls de
claration that the tallies were each
kept by two different men and that
under these conditions they were not
necessarily correct and that the truth
of the matter was all hat he wished
to determine. He also argued that
according to statements the signing
of the certificate by the managers
was merely to get the affair up to the
executive committee. The other
side argued that there was a way
provided by law whereby all should
be made and that under these con
ditions that there was no other way
to get at the thing.
Judgo Mitchell decided In favor of
the petitioner and allowed tlio 1^
junction to stand, forbidding the
executive committee from recounting
the votes. There was quite a large
crowd of both aides present who lis
tened to the deliberations with great
Interest and attention. As yet the
counsel for the defendants have not
determined upon a future course.
