REDUCE
* p "SSr l R,c * Penni gton’s Cash Store ““S
We come before you this week CASH vs CREDIT. There is hardly and article on the market
that jobbers will sell as cheap on 30 days as they will for cash. By eliminating entirely the delivery
nian and extra help that is requested to sell goods where they are charged, we propose to reduce the
cost of living if you will give us your trade. You can better afford to borrow money than you can to
buy g. ods on 30 days or longer time.
We are handling a general line of Merchandise and will give you for this week a few
items at cash prices:
20 lbs. of Granulated Sugar $1.00. 5 1-4 lbs. of our own parched Coffee $1.00.
Eagle Brand Milk - - 15c. 26 oz. cans of Lyby’s Tripe - - 20c.

Many other things too numerous to mention that we sell at 5 and 10 cents in tin ware, and a nice as=
sortment of agate ware in cooking utensis at 10 cents. We are well fixed on many things in the Hard=
ware line. Every thing we sell must give satisfaction or money refunded

Ga.—tf E McGinoney,
investigating SIUCIDE.
Atlanta, Ga.—The state prison
board is engaged this week in inves¬
tigating the case of Ad Dickens, the
white convict who committed suicide
near Logansville, following, it is
an unusually severe flogging.
Cases have been brought to
in northern penitentiaries w here
have committed suicide to escape
torturing lash, but no such
has ever been known in Georgia be¬
fore, if, indeed, this be such a one.
Dickens was a white life-timer. A
week or so ago he made his escape
liom the gang, and on his capture,
was given a flogging. His fellow con¬
victs say that he was cruelly whipped
The next day he was on the sick list,
and the next thing heard of him he
had hanged himself in hhs tent.
If it is shown by the investigation
that he flogging administered Dickens
was inhumanly cruel, it is probable
that it will go hard with the guards
who were responsible for it. Only
one side of the affair, however, has
been heard, and the convict camp of¬
ficials will be given full opportunity
tc state their side of the case.
Want Better Pay.
Atlanta.—The parcel post service
lias been enjoyed by the public for
nine mmontths, and has been of par¬
ticular value and benefit to small
towns and rural communities, but the
unfortunate star route carriers are
still carrying the extra burden for
nothing. Uncle Sam is helping the
public somewhat at their expense.
The carriers were notified by the
postoffice department last February
that extra pay would be granted
in due time for the extra work, but
five months passed, in which nothing
was done, and then when they sought
relief they were told that the increase
i weight was not sufficient to justi¬
fy an increase in pay—this despite
the fact that the parcels post made a
regular Santa Clause out of the poor
mail carrier every day in the year.
it is an interesting thing that the
complaint of the individual rural moil
carriers is exactly the same complaint
that has been filed on an immensely
larger scale by the railroads of the
country. They too have been suffer¬
ing from postal department’s policy o
failing to increase the remuneration
adequately though the volume of the
mail is greater and greater. It is
hoped, however, that under the demo¬
cratic administration some sort of re¬
lief will he granted.
