GIEAT REMOVAL SALE
I Beginning Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26,we place our entire
I stock of goods on the market to be sold within the next 60 days.
BOLD BARGAINS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT
The keenest price cuts ever known to the people. We positively will not move a dollar’s
worth of goods that we can dispose of. Not a remnant nor an odd garment will be moved.
Many full and complete lines have been cut to cost and less in spite of the fact that they
are eminently desirable, unquestionably stylish and thoroughly seasonable.
We as merchants consider it business to take a quick loss on this stock and sell it
rather than move it into our new store, which we expect to get into by Sept. 15 to Oct. 1 •
Come Friday, Saturday and any other day while this removal sale lasts and
you’ll find unmatchable bargains. We mean to sell.

DUTIES WELL DONE.
The July term of superior court
just held was one well .managed
and the excellent showing in
county affairs should} be a source
of gratification to all citizens.
With a judge whose natural
sagacity, coupled with an attained
experience on the bench makes
him one of the best of the state’s
judiciaries, as main director and a
strong jury like this one was, it is
no suprise that such admirable
work should result. Col. Tom
Crenshaw was foreman and his
familiarity with public matters
and executive qualities, make him
a safe lead. The presentments
are clear, concise and embody the
needed knowledge for the interest
ed outsider, and they tell in no
uncertnin way of the care with
which county matters were con
sidered.
The session was only a week
and yet a vast amount ot business
was dispatched. A pretty show
ing was the turning into the
treasury of over S2OO in insolvent
cost, an amount more than ever
before known. It is on such
judicious, handling of the courts
and looking to the county’s in
terests that the'eitizen can rest the
assurance that if things do not go
right it may be chargeable to un
controllable circumstances alone.
'Tom Johnson, Cleveland’s pris
matic mayor, is said to be an as
pirant for the democratic nomina
tion for president. The party will
doubtless go among the more solid
men for a man and Judge Parker,
of New York, would not be a bad
choice.
The docking of horses has been
declared a crime in Michigan.
EXC ESS TAKE ON COTTON.
It appears from a circular issued
by the Southern Cotton Buyers.
Association that the ginners and
planters of Georgia and Alabama
have been too liberal in the past in
the use of bagging and ties. Under
the present system of compressing
cotton for long hauls the bale as
I it comes from the plantation or the
commercial gin does not require
the close bagging and heavy tying
thai was formerly considered es
sential. And even where the cot
ton is bought for local spinners
these object strenuously to paying
cotton prices for excessive bagging
and ties.
Because the spinners charge back
the excess upon the commission
men and buyers, the latter have
determined to penalize all bales of
cotton that carry more than six
yards of bagging and six ties.
This matter is important to every
planter who bales his own crop and
every ginner in the region affected
by the new rule. The only way to
avoid an actual loss on the cotton
itself is to observe the rule and
The Constitution advises compli
ance with it. because it seems a
wise economy and will save trouble
to all concerned —Constitution.
The Suez canal earned over
$20,000,000 last year and paid $25
per share in dividends to the
stockholders in the operating com
pany. The claim that a canal iu
the American isthmus would pay
for itself in a few years seems well
justified.
John W, Mackay, the California
millionaire, and one of the four
Bonanzo Kings of that state, died
in London last Sunday. He went
to California in 1851 and started to
work with a pick and shovel in the
gold diggings. His wealth runs
into the millions.
From recent advices, Spain’s
young sovereign, Alphonso
wouldn’t mind being known as a
rounder of the most ultrstype. This
adds a sad feature to the picture of
the physical degeneracy of the
nation on whose dqmains once the
sun never set.

The president seems to be per
sistent in his movements against
the trusts. But the trouble of it is,
his party, which has been such a
beneficiary, would not willingly
see them abolished.
Catarrh .
Is a constitutional disease.
It originates in a scrofulous condition of
the blood and depends on that condition.
It often causes headache and dizziness,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing, af
fects the vocal Oigans, disturbs the stomach.
It is always radically and permanently
cured by the blood-purifying, alterative
and tonic action of
Hood's Sarsaparilla
This great medicine has wrought the most
wonderful cures of all diseases depending
on scrofula or the scrofulous habit.

WHITE HOUSE
RENOVATED.
Improvements Being Made on the
President’s Mansion-
ADDITIONS ARE BEING MADE.
The Mansion Was Built In 1800
and Has Been the Home
of the Presidents
Washington Correspondence.
“No admission,” is the greeting
that meets the visitor in washing
ingtou who attempts to enter the
white house grounds, and many
haye expressed serious disappoint
ment at their inability to inspect
the home of the president. But it
should prove some compensation to
loyal Americans to know that for
the first time since 1881 the white
house is receiving a thorough ren
ovation! Those who have visited
the building iu recent years can
testify to the necessity for such
an overhauling. As the wealth
and greatness of the country
have increased the demands
on the executive mansion have
grown and for some years its
accommodations have not been
sufficient to secure to the president
and his family that comfort and
privacy to which they are entitled.
The office force has grown con
stantly and new rooms have had to
be converted into offices until but
a small portion of the second floor
of the building was available for
residence purposes and ordinarily
more than half of the first floor
was open to the public during cer
tain hours of the day. When the
present renovation is completed and
the new office building, which is
being erected just west of the white
house, is finished the entire second
floor will be restored to its origina
purpose, a residence for the presil
dent and his family.
In the basement on the east end
of the building, there are to be re
ception and cloak-rooms and the
present entrance on that end will
be greatly enlarged. There all
persons having occasion to call at
the president’s home will enter, the
former main door being reserved
for the exclusive use of the family.
Persons who have occasion to call
on the president on business will
be directed to the new office build
ing at the west side of the grounds.
This building will have accommo
dations for the entire clerical force
heretofore located iu the white
house and will also be pro
vided with a large cabinet room, a
private office for the president and
one for hijj secretary, a reception
room of generous proportions, a
room for telegraph and telephone
purposes and a comfortable room
for the use of newspaper corre
spondents, where every conven
ience will be afforded them for ob
taining and preparing the news.
The interior of the white house
looks today as if it had been the
victim of a Kansss cyclone, even
the floors have been removed. The
staircase at the east end of the lob
by, up which have toiled so many
thousands of anxious office seekers,
have been removed and, while it is
impossible to secure from the ar
chitects all of the details of their
plans, it is believed that the space
formerly occupied by the old stair
case will be occupied by a far more
eiaDorate one leading up from the
basement and the reception and
cloak rooms located therein. The
interior decorations of the build
ing are to be elaborate and beauti
ful and it is promised that when
completed the interior of the white
house will possess a most attract
ive and artistic appearance. All
who have attended the presidential
re:eptions will appreciate the con
venience that will be derived by
the new entrance for, heretofore,
the crowding about the cloak
rooms, erected temporarily in the
main lobby, has been deplorable.
It is the expectation of the archi
tects that they will be able to turn
the completed residence over to the
president on his return to Wash
ington in October, although from
the present appearance of the
building that seems possible.
The answer of the United States
steel corporation, otherwise known
as the steel trust, filed in the New
Jersey courts and sworn to by Mr.
Chas. Schwab and other officers of
company, has set the gentlemen at
democratic headquarters to work
making some interesting deduc
tions. Mr. Schwab says that the
assests of the company amount to
$1,400,291,000 and that the net
profits of the concern are $140,000,-
000 per annum. He further states
that these profits could be reduced
seventy-five per cent and still leave
ample to pay interest on the com
pany’s bonds and provide for its
sinking funds, these fixed charges
amounting to but $31,737,850
This is the corporation, it will be
remembered, which is charging
American manufacturers and ship
builders from thirty to thirty-five
per cent more for the steel they
are compelled to use than it is
charging British and other manu
facturers for the same material
When Representative Richards of
Tennessee offered a bill in the
house which provided for the re
moval of the duty on goods made
by trusts, the republicans charged
him with desiring to wreck Ameri
can industries. The duty on steel
will average forty-five per cent so
that how far this charge was from
the truth may be easily seen.
