TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
This is to certify that we have a splendid
stock of Dry Goods, Clothing, Shoes and Hats
at our store on Cotton Avenue, and they are
all from strictly first-class manufacturers
and have been bought with cash, they are
of course bought right. Now we will sell you
what you want for less than any firm on
earth can do, and our goods must be what
we claim for them or your money will be re
funded, remember this. If we do not show
you first-class goods for less than you can
buy them elsewhere we will not ask you to
buy them.
You certainly can not fail to see that it
will not hurt you to go see our stock, and
when you see it you will see where you can
save from 30 to 50 per cent on everything
you wear. Your respectfully,

Memphis, May 31.—William Wooteu
is iii bis coffin at bis home and bit
brother, Jesse, on a cot in tbe city hos
pital hovering between life and death as
tbe result of a sonsatioual pistol duel
yesterday between tho two men on one
of tbe crowded streets of tbe city just
after tho confederate veterans’ parade.
For three minutes the men fought
desperately, when William Wooten foil
dead on the pavement at tho feet of Jes
se’s wife, who tried in vain to prevent
the tragody. William Wooten was em
ployed at a big warehouse. He was
standing in tho door of tho building
when i'e saw his brother aud wife com
ing down the street on tho opposite sido.
He hailed his brother, wh& crossed tho
street in answer. Hot words ensued
and it is claimed that William Wooten
rau back Into the warehouse and, re
turning with a revolver, opened fire.
Jesse returned tho fire with excellent
aim, as not a shot he fired went astray,
five entering the head and breast of his
brother. Jessee was struck in tho head
and shoulder. Jesse ma4o no effort to
escape, but remained abont the scene of
the shooting nntil officers came and
placed him under arrest.
Both men emptied their pistols and it
is a wonder that several persons were
not killed by the bullets.
The shooting is the result of domestic
troubles.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
GENERAL J. D. GORDON.
veterans returned to their homes on thi
night trains, but thousands remained to
once again touch elbows and keep step
with their comrades of the battlefields
and with the soldiers of the gray. Othei
organizations, swelling the total tti
about 5,000, were in line. The iuvifca*
tion was extended to ail veterans, who
do not belong to organized camps oi
whose camps are uct hero in a'body, tc
participate in tho grand pageant, and
every veteran in tho city marched.
The parado was announced for Id
o’clock, and long boforo that hour tbl
veterans thronged Confederate hall, the
general point of formation, while here
and there about the city small compa
nies of soldiers gathered and waited pa*
tiently for the signal for marching.
An Ideal Day.
During the early hours of the morn*
ing a heavy rain swept the streets cloan
and tempered the atmosphere, and by 9
o’clock the snn came oat bright and
clear and gave promise of an ideal daj
for the parade.
Crowds of people thronged tho side*
walks and filled the stands, and even
though the outgoing night trains wers
filled almost to their utmost capacity,
the diminution in the number of the
visitors was scarcely noticeable today.
Promptly at 10 o’clock, to the strains
of “Dixie” from a baud, while cannon
boomed on the river front, the parade
started from Confederate hall, march
ing to Main street ana down through
the court of honor, being constantly
swelled by the addition of companies
stationed in side streets.
The Uallant Gordon.
At the head of tho column rode Gen
eral George W. Gordon, chief marshal
of the day, his staff, and General A. R.

Forty-Six Bales of Cotton Spread Out
to Dry.
Charlotte, N. O., May 31.—The In
terior of the big ootton compress build
ing presents an interesting appearance,
one entire section of the floor being car-
ited with cotton to the depth of 2 feet
*ae ootton was fished out of the Cataw
ba river and belonged to the Southern
Railway company. Before it went
down the Catawba it belonged to other
parties. There were 46 halos in tho lot
and they occupied a box car that com
posed tho (rain that was ruu oa the
jridge to hold it down. This particu
lar car was over a section of the trestlo
work that was swept away, and wont
down in tho wreck. Tho car was bro
ken to pieces, and the bales were swept
down stream. They were all recovered
and sent here, and tho railroad hands
broke them open and scattered tho con
tents over the floor of the compress
building to dry.
In addition to the cotton car, a car
loaded with rice, one loaded with gran
ite and ouo loaded with provisions wont
dowu tho Catawba. Tho farmers who
own the laud along tho stream may ho
surprised in a few weeks to see a crop
of rice coming along.

Perfect Flood of Ordinances and Re«o*
lutlons Introduced,
Montgomery, Ala., May 80. —Tho
only business before the constitutional
convention yesterday was the calling of
the roll for tho introduction of resolu
tions and ordinances. It got no farther
than the letter K on tho roll, but If one-
third the changes proposed be made, tbe
trosent constitution will oome ont a
Jadly mntilated instrument.
The address of the negroes beaded by
Booker T. Washington wa* present'd
and read.
Among tbe flood of ordinances Intro
duced wero the following: ,
Providing that all puolio roads shall
bo worked by taxation; that In civil ac
tions three-foorths of tbe jury may ren

ant may waive bti right to a trial by

do so by agreement;*to provide for fe

war from license taxes; requiring that
all of the senators and representatives

to divide tho ichool fnnd between tbs
races by leaving it to the discretion of
the township trustees; to fix the special
state tax for oohools at 10 oenti on tho
•100; to taka the State university ont of
politics; to levy a tax of fl.60 on every
dog for school purposes and to make
dogs property and their theft a mlsde-
da^ it was the king’s intention tore
turn from a short stay at Windsor to
London, but now be has deolded to give
an andienoo to tbe New York delegates,
and as he could do so more privately at
Windsor be caused an official report to
be issued that the ooart would not oome
to the metropolis nntil next week. In
vitations marked “Striotly Confiden
tial” were hurriedly sent to all the dele
gatee, but Messrs. Carnegie, Sohteren
and one or two others, having made
other arrangements, will not attend.
Tho official reason given for the king
cancelling the reception in the first in
stance wa» on account of tho royal
monrning, and this reason Is also given
for the wives of delegates not being in
vited and for the king’s command that
nothing in the reception sholl appoar in
The Official Gazette. There is a very
general belief, however, that political
significance attaches to tho king’s ao-
tiou. .
Leaving London at 2:80 p. me today,
tho dolegatos will reach Windsor castle
shortly after 3. At tho royal entrance
thoy will bo met by Sir Francis Knol-
