CARPETS! RUGS! MATTINGS,!
*0ME Beautiful New Styles* Juet Added to
the Large Stock on Hand.
You have heard a great deal about the advance on Carpets in
consequence of the McKinley bill, find the half has hardly been tola;
but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to SSU'you
Carpets AS LOW AS YGUEVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD-
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I eonld do on a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody.

An Intereetlax EpKode In th« Life of
Speaker Crisp.
Captain Charlie Furlow of the comp-
roller-general’s office, formerljrjof Amer-
icus, gives the following abort sketch
of Speaker Crisp in the Atlanta Herald:
“It waa decidedly an accident that
made Charlee F. Crisp a Georgian. It
happened tide way. His father, William
H. Crisp was an actor. His mother was
an actress. The new congressman and
speaker was born In England, where hie
parents were then filling a professional
engagement
"OX course, in his childhood, he could
hardly be said to have had a home. His
psrents'were firing in Mobile during the
earlier part of the war. Young Crisp
had gone to the front at 16, with a Vir
ginia regiment So that he was distinctly
t a Georgian up to that time.
“Before the war ended, howerer, the
I man Crisp bought some property in
dey counter, Ga., and after the war—
i young Crisp got out of the Federal
i where he had been for tometime
r of war—the aon came to Geor-
k after the Schley oonnty prop*

“Two Old Cronies" is the name of
an amusing farce-con edy which began a
. two weeka’ engagement at the Windsor
Theatre last evening. Messrs A! Wilson
and E. J. Hefferman, two well known
light commedlane, impersonated the two
cronies, the former In the tnaee-up of n
German professor and the latter In the
character of a light-hearted and Jovial
Irishman. Besides these principal ac

Tlw Last Sad Bites Paid the Remains of
Hon. KdcarO. Simmons.
Yesterday at three o’oloek the funeral
exercises over the remains of Hon.
Edgar G Simmona ware observed with
masonic ceremonies. The home of the
distinguished dead was thronged with
friends, gathered to offer their last sad
token of esteem and love for him who
was a few abort hour* before their
friend, counseller and sympathizer.
Dr. A. B. Campbell first read a col
lection of Scriptural verses appropriate
to the sad oocasion, and then offered-np
a prayer, invoking from GodHiieboieest
bleeaingt upon the bereaved wife and
obildren.
The masons now took charge of the
remain* of their departed brother, and
with rite* peculiar to their order, con-
veyed them to their last resting place in
Oak Grove cemetery.
The exercises were concluded at the
grave by Dr. Campbell, who made a few
brief remarks, dwelling on the many
generous qualities of the deceased, his
warm and confiding nature, his unfail
ing affeotlon for his aged mother, hit
devotion to hi* wife, and hi* affection
for hit children. - ■
He aocentuated the beautiful and con
fidential relations that existed between
Mr. Simmons and bii children. Hie
heart was knitted to hit hearthstone
with the tenderest ties and every sensi
bility of his soul responded to the sweet
Influences Ho wing from It
As a friend,he was constant and ready;
as a brother, warm and confiding; as s
father, kind, Indulgent and affeotkmato;
ns a husband, devoted and true.
After Dr. Cambell oonclnded hit re
marks, ths Masons chanted a requiem
and Dr, Campbell offered n prayer and
pronounced the benediction.
The fnneral cortege was a long one
illustrating the high esteem and love
with which the deceased was held.
The pall bearer* were Messrs. W. K.
Wheatley, Hlxon, Clarke, Kimbrough,
Pllshury and-Speer.

Royal Baking Powder
Has no Equal.
The Royal Baking Powdet will make sweeter, lighter, finer-flavored
and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake than any other leavening
agent. It is of higher strength, and therefore goes further in work and
is more economical. All government and scientific tests go to show
this. Royal Baking Powder as a leavening agent is absolutely without
unequal
Rush Medical College, Chicago.
"As the result of my tests I find the Royal
Baking Powder superior to all the others in every
respect It is entirely free from all adulteration
and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it
gives off a greater volume of leavening gas rban *
any other powder. It is therefore not only the
S rest but also the strongest powder with which
an acquainted.

A Shooting Scrape os the Streets of A merl
es* TeetenUy-Mr. J. N. Chambliss nod
Homy Daniel* Become Involved In a
Shooting Affair
The sharp, dear report of a plato'
rang out at about 2:48 yesterday after
noon, and in almost the flash of moment
a tremendous crowd bad-gathered at
the corner in front of-Mr. D. W. Bag
ley’s store at the intersection of Lee and
Forsyth streets. ‘ *
No sooner hai the report rang out than
Mr. Will Fagan of the police force was
seen straggling to part two men, locked
In a desperate fight.
With the assiitanoe of Mr. W. B Mor
ris, the oomkatente were separated and
the police placed then under guard.
They were Mr. J. U. Chambliss, a
well borer, and a negro named Henry
Daniels, who conducts a small butcher
stall on Lamar atreet
There were nnmeroui eye witnesses to
the encounter and diverse accounts bavo
been givenf
Mr. Chambliss says: “I was walking
In Mr. Begley’s store when I stooped
down to pick up some email silver
change that I aoddently dropped.
When I straightened up, a crippled ne
gro standing a foot or so away from
Daniels remarked that I had not picked
up all of the money. I told him that he
could have all that I left Bight here
was where Daniels interfered. I heard
him remark with an oath that I was the
man who had eworn to a d lie on
him.
“I walked up to him and asked him if
his remarks were directed to me. He
then grabbed me and we closed. I did
not see the pistol when I first approaoh-
ed him and when I saw It I attempted to
disarm him, but he shot before I could
effect my purpote, and here," said Mr.
Chambliss, holding up bis left hand and
■flowing the forefinger and middle finger
bloody and raw, “la what he did for me,
the ball sorsplng the two knnckles."
Henry Daniels says: "I was standing
at the corner when Mr. Cbamblisa came
up and began talking about some trou
ble that we had bad some time since,
when I would not let him sit on a jury
that was to try a case of mine. No
sooner bad he approaohed me than he
drew a pistol on me and I tried to die
arm him, hut the pistol went off in the
air and fell at my feet. It was ah un
provoked assault, and I never carry a
pistol, not having carried one in fifteen
years.”
Mr. W. B. Morris who was standing
near when the trouble arose and helped
to separate the combatants says: "I saw
Daniels trying to shoot Chambliss, and
the pistol was in his hands when I first
saw the two. I did not see him draw it
and oould not say that it was con-

“The Royal Baking Powder, which tests the highest
in strength, is free from lime, alum, lime phosphates or
other adulterations. Its superlative purity, the entire
wholesomeness of its ingredients, the scientific manner
in which they are combined, together with its much
greater strength, make the Royal unquestionablvsuoe-
rior to any other baking powder.
' “H. D. Garrison," Prof- ofCMomuty.
Mr. Lawrence Dees testified that the
negro had the pistol when the shooting
began.
Mr. G. W. Stubbs says: “I saw tbs
pistol in the hands of the negro.”
Mr. J. M. Presley was within three
feet of the negro when the abot was
fired and says that the pistol fell on the
toe of his left foot when fired.
Mr. J, P. Braswell says: "I not only
taw the pistol in the hand of Daniels,
but I saw him pull {he trigger.”
Mr. Lee Childers say* the negro was
In possession of the pistol
Mr. Charlie Foster saw the smoking
revolver in the bands of the negro.
Now there were a number of blacks
who claimed to have eeen the fracas and
who corroborate the statements made
by Daniels.
Mr. Chambliss appeared before Justice
Oliver and swore out a warrant against
Daniels for assault with Intent to mur
der, and Daniels wasjrsleassd under $100
bind to appear at the commitment trial
ti-dsy at 2 o’clock.
Dsniels swore out a warrant against
Mr. Chambliss, charging him with the
cams offence, and Justice Oliver bound
him over under $100 bond to answer the
same charge to-day at 2 o'clock.

their views on the celebration, and they
as a unit, declared their hearty co-opera
tion to be with the wovementnnd volun
teered their eager willingness to spend
their mouey freely to insure its success
And the counties embraced within the
Third congressional district will respond
generously. The whole district feels
pride in Judge Crisp, and it is resolved
to indloato it in a tangible and memora
ble way. Said a prominent and represent
ative merchant yesterday: “Amerions,
and in fact, the whole Third congres
sional district should feel it their boun-
den duty to make a grand success out of
this demonstration and It can only be
compacted by the power of money and
I do not hesitate to say that they will
one and all go deep into their pocket-
books and do tbelr fall dnty.
Americus has never yet been derelict
in the discharge of her duties, and She
will, with the assistance of the people
of the third congressional district, toe
the line this time.
I like the complexion of the variiqi
committees; they are solid and energet
ic men, who know no each word ns ‘fell.’
Now let us all labor in unison for the
success of this occasion, remembering
that the eyea of Georgia are upon us."
