Stocktaking has just been completed and now
conies the great Annual Remnant Sale. Broken lots
and odds and ends from last year’s sales. Probably
the greatest retail business ever recorded by any
merchant in the South in any citv twice as large as
Griffin. From such a business we necessarily have
a great accumulation in short lengths. All the bro¬
ken lots, say two or three suits of a kind, one or
two Ha s of a number, five or six pairs of shoes of a
kind, missed matched curtains, dress goods from 2
to 6 yards in length suitable for school dresses and
skirts, waists, etc. Red and white flannel in short

length. Blankets, two or three of a kind; checks and
sheeting; winter goods; odd lots of clothing, hats,
cloaks, skirts, shirt waists, winter shoes, etc., at
prices that will be pleasing to bargain hunters. The
price will save the people big money, and the
merchandise offered is this season’s choicest pat¬
terns. We are great believers in the old adage,
“To hear is believing, but to see is the naked truth.’’
Our Furniture business has also been immense
and in this department we have a great many broken
1 suits, two or three beds of a kind, dressers of an¬
other pattern, wash stands and tables still of anoth¬
er kind, dressers and china closets that differ ~ in

GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR NEW YEAR
iiiumiii I in* 1 •- .;
Bnssia Has Grave Fears For
Success of 1906 .
NOTE OF PRESS PE86IM18TIC
Bankruptcy of Government Before the
Yew te Done la Predicted, and Many
EvH Omens Have Been Seen by Su¬
perstitious.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 14—The note
struck by the radical press ij» review-
lag the pa*t_ year and commenting on
the outlook for the new year, Is an
extremely peeeUndstlc one. These
newspapers generally eee no prospect
of internal peaoe, but they unite In
expressing tl\g hope that 1806 will not
end as did 1805, with the spirit erf re¬
action stron®ly In the ascendant.
The Novoe Vremya and the Slovo,
on the contrary, look to the Jouma to
put a seal on the charter of the peo¬
ple’s liberties and to restore tranquil¬
ity to he distracted country.
M. AnifiteatrofT, one of the most
brilliant of Russian journalists, who
served a term of exile for hi* famous
political feuilleiton, in which he ar¬
raigned the members of the imperial
family as public bandits and who re¬
cently has been living in Rome, in an
article on Russia’s future, predicts that
the coming year will witness the finan¬
cial and pci!: lead bankruptcy of the
government.
Honor* for Reactionaries.
Tiie list of the new year's honors
Is notable for the number of decora¬
tions bestowed on the- officials associ¬
ated w ith tUe policy of repression. M.
Durncjvo, who so far as the proletari¬
at organization is connected, is the
best hated man in public life, has been
promoted f«rai acting minister of the
Interior to minister, thus increasing
the influence erf the bureaucratic hier¬
archy.
It it significant that In the animal
renewal' of appointments. Count Sol-
sky, president of the council of the em¬
pire, and the heads of departments In
the council, have .been appointed “un¬
til the reorganization of that body.”
The emperor and empress held a
new year’s reception in the palace at
Tsarskoe-'SeJo to which the members of
the diplomatic corps traveled in a spe¬
cial traA from St. Petersburg. The
reception was & formal affair, to which
only the court (functionaries, diplomats
and a few nobles were invited. It
passed without notalble incident.
Witte Not at Reception.
The absence of Count Witts created
tome comment, but it was officially
explained that the reception was a
special one for the representatives of
the foreign powers. The only minister
invited was Count Lamsdorff, minister
of foreign affairs.
The emperor looked- well and spoke
pleasantly to all hia visitors, specially
singling out Mr. Meyer, tre American
ambassador, and Herr Von Schoen,
the German ambassador.
Shadow Over Festivities.
The sanguinary tragedy in the fa¬
mous restaurant, “The Bear,” at an
early hour in the morning, In which
the student Davldoff, was shot and
killed by Count Sherometleff, and the
count was badly battered by friends
of the dead- man, has cast a shadow
over the new year festivities.
The custom of making new year
call* obtains In Russia to a largeT ex¬
tent than in any other oountry of the
world, and at every reception the af¬
fair at “The Bear” was a subject for
conversation, it being universally ac¬
cepted by superstitious Russians as an
augury that blood, poison and violence
will reign ini the empire in 1906.
Strangely enough-, the Zerttel (the
Spectator) has printed a picture rep¬
resenting and spreading consternation
at a new year feast.
Makes Charges-Against Railroads.
Chicago, Jan. 16,—Advices to the
JteconfcHerald from Dallas, Tex., says:
John C. Hunter, secretary of thp Dal-
\0.i Commercial club, had announced
that the proposed visit of Texas com¬
mercial clubs to northern and eastern
cities has been abandoned because of
the high rates demanded by the east,
em railroads to carry the party and
he declared the railways bad adopted
this means as a club against advocates
ef railway rate legislation.
Executed for Murder.
Chie Foo, Jan. 15.—Three Chinese
who confessed to the murder of Mi
ltary Attache Von Guggenheim and
deOuverville, on their return from
Arthur prior to the capitulation of that
place, were executed here today, non¬
tenant Von Guggenheim and Lieuten¬
ant deCuvervllle, German and French
military attaches at Port Arthur, left
there In August, 1905, in a junk man¬
ned by Chinese. They were never again
seen alive.
Carotins Bar* Football.
Columbia, 8. €., Jan. 15.—The board
Of trustees of the South Carolina col¬
lege, at its meeting here has decided
to abolish intercollegiate football. It
•was stated that the action was taken
without any outside influence, being
deemed- for the beet interests erf the

AlUthor of “Ths fihams of ths Cities'*
*peak« to "Anti-Graft” Meeting.
New York, Jan 14.—Lincoln Stef-
,M.r U>. Mn of th» V. M. 0.
A. yesterday. Mr. Steffens told of
tot stole fights made tn various Ameri¬
can cities against political corrupt ion.
Ot Chicago, he said:
“They have not got good government
In Chicago yet, not by a great deal;
but they have got Ddsaocratlc govern¬
ment—representative government, at
least. They have a real sense that
.
the streets belong to the city and not
to the railroads. They found, too, that
♦he source of corruption was privilege
and so they determined to take away
that privilege. And that Is the plan
which must be of 1 lowed elsewhere."
Had It been found necessary in moat
cases to extend the fight to state eap-
ltoU for the real center of crooked¬
ness was there. "Tom Johnson," he
said, “does not think he will live long
'enough to accomplish the reforms he
has planned, but he has already some¬
thing more Important; he has educat¬
ed the people of Cleveland in good
cltlsenshlp.”
Mr. Steffens said he regarded H.
H. Rogers as a victim of our existing
system of political corruption as dear¬
ly as some ward heeler-
LYONS’ HEAD FALLS FIRST.
Georgia Negro Loses His Place ae Reg¬
ister of the Treasury.
Washington, Jan. 15.— President
Roosevelt ha* .announced the appoint¬
ment of W. T. Vernon, principal of
Qutndaro Institute, at Quinrtaro, Kans.,
to.be register of the treasury in suc¬
cession to-Judson W. Lyons., Charges
were preferred against Vernon, but
they were not sustained by the inves
tigation made by the direction of the
president.
Lyons was at the White House and
learned from the president hlmse
that there was no chance of his re¬
appointment to the office he holds.
The fact that Lyons is Republican na¬
tional committeeman from Georgia did
not save him. Vernon, of Kansas,
had the indorsement of Booker T.
Washington.
This turn down of Lyons, coming
coincident with the announcement that
Rucker is to lose out and that De-
veaux at Savannah Is to meet the
same fate, moans that no negroes are
to hold Important federal offices in
the southern states where it is possi¬
ble to find a reason for putting white
men In their places. ^

Enforcement of Sunday Law at Rome,
Georgia.
Route, Ga., Jan. 15.—The Floyd
county grand Jury has gotten straight
after the shopkeepers who sell goods
on Sundays.
The drug stores, where heretofore
you could get a cigar or glass of soda
water, now turn deaf ears to your
plea*. Signs have-been put up In a

tifying their patron* that nothing but
medicines would be sold on Sundays.
Many who had) not seen the notice were
disappointed when they called for their
cigar to find that there “wa® nothing
doing.”
It is the Intention of the grand jury
to make a clean sweep of all such
case* as this. They have aald diat Sun¬
day must be observed in Floyd county,
any thy have set out to enforce the
laws to the letter.
ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE.
Final Chapter Is Closed in Sensational
Floyd County Case.
Rome, Ga., Jan. 15—The acquittal
of Vincent T. Sanford of the charge of
murdering George Wright, is the final
chapter in one of the moat sensational
cases ever tried in the courts of Floyd

denounced, each now seeking to secure
a divorce from the other, one man

low man’s blood on his hands, are some
of the results of the tragedy.
