CASH
REBATES
FOR
Cash
Customers
F ROM this date every customer entering our store and buying ten cents’
worth or more will receive a cash rebate of one-tenth of the amount of his
purchase. This does .not sound as big as drawing a Piano, or a bale of
Cotton; but you never drew one anyway, did you? Many contribute to
pay for these prizes, but only one can draw it. Now, with our plan, you buy, say,
one dollar’s worth. You get ten cents back on the spot. Put these dimes in a
savings bank until the end of the year, and you will be surprised at the amount.
To those who did not read our letter of Nov. 1 we will add, that there are a few
items, which will not be included in the rebate proposition—about half a dozen,
which we have contracted to sell at a certain price, and we propose to act in good
faith, but these are all. We quote a few items from our china department. (Ten
per cent, more than these prices if charged.)

MEN OFT H E T HIN G U A Y LINE.
All covered with dust.
Their guns n-rust.
The thin gray lines trend by.
The clamors cease
As the halm of peace
Bedecks the cloud-clear sky;
And the heroes tread
While the valiant dead
Alone in the cold ground lie.
Their backs are bent,
> While their hearts are rent
With the toil of the weary years.
Ere their lives have sunk
Ah! their lips have drunk
Of» the cup of sad Sorrow’s tears;
I But the leaves are green
On the hazy scene
Of their comrades’ lonely biers.
Ah! the tide is full
; When the surf is dull
And the breakers cease their din:
' While the ocean’s roar
Greets the ears no more
Of'tin* men who have passed within,
f Yet we will honor those
Who have sought repose
In u long life free from sin.
! So fill your cup
For a long, sweet sup
To the legion bravo who fought
Through each weary day
In their tattered gray
For a lost cause; and who wrought
With their soul and heart
For the empty part
Of defeat, though it soon fame brought.

Bryan
Macon Telegraph.
W. J. Bryan retires from the stump
after his third defeat for the Presiden
cy with the all-round record of being
the greatest campaigner this country,
or any other, perhaps, has produced. It
is a familiar experience in the history
of the United States that no great ora
tor, as such, ever reached the Presiden
cy. The fate of the immortal triumvi
rate, Clay, Calhoun and Webster, is a
standing illustration of the truth. More
recently Jas. G. Blaine, the “plumed
knight” of Maine, furnished an illus
tration of the same truth. W. J. Bryan
is not the equal of Calhoun as a politi
cal philosopher and logician ; he is not
•the master of florid oratory that Web
ster was: he lacks perhaps some of the
fire in delivery that rendered Henry
Clay invincible before popular audi
ences. But by innate ability and much
practice he has mastered a pungent
and effective style, tending to the an
tithesis in character, nnd he possesses I
physical attributes that, all told, ren
der him the superior of either as a
popular orator, and in actual achieve
ment he has swayed vaster multitudes
than all of them put together ever did.
For this very reason, in chief, he is des
tined, as they were, never to reach ihe
Presidency. In a long and crowded or-
ato :ral career he has said things and
created antagonisms which place u lim
it to his prospects as a candidate for
the f Presidency, which three record-
breaking trials sufficiently demonstra
ted he cannot hope to overcome.
The fairest start for the Presidency
Mr. Bryan ever enjoyed was in the be
ginning of his most recent race, when
he returned from his tour of the world
and was welcomed home bv a reconciled
and well-nigh undivided Democracy. In
the great greeting tendered him at
Madison Square Garden, through some
malign, inexplicable fate, in the face
of common caution nnd over the pro
test of those who had a right to advise
him, he enunciated the new. un-Demo-
cratic, well-nigh-unheard-of suggestion
of Government ownership of railroads.
It was a blunder incredible in its folly
and incalculable in its consequences. It
offended, insulted deeply, inexcusably,
the most deep-rooted fundamental sen
timent of his party. It quenched the
rising enthusiasm and covered the
hosts of Democracy from Maine to Cal
ifornia as with a wet blanket, and his
subsequent tour of the South that had
promised to be a triumphal procession
without parallel, was attended with au
diences that heard him with respect
shorn of enthusiasm. Later Mr. Bryan
propounded a new and unheard-of the
ory of Democracy, in the initiative and
referendum, which did not tend to les
sen the disappointment he hud already
j created.
I In the campaign which he has just
concluded Mr. Bryan did wonders to
recover his lost ground. He waged
a masterly battle from start to finish.
He adhered religiously to sound issues,
and he never lost a point or failed to
turn a trick. He met and vanquished in
turn and with the ease of a champion
the doughtiest warriors of the opposi
tion, including the hitherto invincible
“Rough Rider” and his chosen succes
sor. Had the chances been even and
without great odds to overcome we feel
satisfied that, handicapped as he was
with his past record, he would have tri-
1 umphed. We believe the free, un
bought and untrammeled voice of this
; country is to-day in the majority and
i on the side of Democracy. But these
were conditions which confronted us,
and which had to be taken into account.
They are conditions which it is now
demonstrated cannot he overcome with
Bryan as Democracy’s Candidate.
Failing the Republican party to
i form within itself the corruption and
abuses with which it is notoriously
honeycombed, or to check the reckless
and merciless greed of the predatory
socialism, tending to anarchy and civil
war. The Telegraph is no alarmist.
But we cannot blind ourselves to the
inevitably evil tendencies of n cabal of
wealth which has seized on the Nation
al Legislature and is relentlessly using
it to drain off the earnings of the peo
ple into thinr private tills—which,
through the instrumentality of monopo
ly, puts a limitation on production, at
once harrowing to the laborer out of
employment nnd enhancing the prices of
the necessaries of life. This socialism
of the trusts will inevitably breed so
cialism among the masses, and when
the Buffering of the people becomes in
tolerable revolution of some sort will
result.
The Telegraph will never consent to
any form of revolution but that of the
ballot-box. If this people cannot re
form their government by the exercise
of the free ballot, which is yet in their
power, then is popular government a
failure, and this republic must and
should die.
But we still believe in the virtue and
patriotism of the people. We still be
lieve that they will right what is
wrong before it is too late, and when
they are wisely led.
Mr. Bryan has had his day—and a
glorious one it has been for him—ns a
candidate for the Presidency. In the
three races he lias led for the Presiden
cy as the candidate of a great party, in
spite of successive defeats, he has
reaped greater fame than the average
President may hope to attain. He is
still, nnd will while life lasts continue
to be, a great fuvorite with the people.
He can do more for Democracy, more
for his country, by advocating the elec
tion of another when this great undy
ing party next takes the field to save
the country from its seemingly impend
ing fate. No one voice so powerful as
his to rally the popular hosts: no
Moses so great to lead them, although
himself will never taste of the fruits
of the Promised Land.
It is not too much to say that Wil
liam J. Bryan has it within his power
to reinvigorate the sinking courage of
the patroitic people of this land. It is
in his power possibly to save this coun
try more truly than ever Lincoln did.
by renouncing now a fourth candidacy.
Must Provide Pension Money.
Atlantn, Nov. 7. — Stute Pension
Commissioner John W. Lindsey, while
admitting the possibility that the ser
vice pension amendment to the State
Constitution, ratified by the people in
the recent election, may result in add
ing $1,000,000 to the pension roll, does
not believe that the increase will go to
anything like this extent. In a state
ment to-day he said that there are ap
proximately 25,000 Confederate veter
ans nnd widows of veterans in Georgia,
of whom 16,000, or nearly that number,
are now on the pension rolls.
The donth rate is now something like
1.000 a year, despite which the regular
list has been constantly growing larger
from year to year, until the appropria
tions have now reached $1,000,000.
('apt. Lindsey makes the statement
that no pensions can be paid under this
amendment until after the Legislature
has appropriated money for the pur
pose. and prescribed qualifications.
Practically the only qualifications that
can be prescribed are those stated in
the amendment that the applicant’s an
nual inrome must be less than $300, nnd
that lie must have less than $1,600
worth of property.
The question of making an appropria
tion or not will rest with the coming
Legislature when it meets next June.
Where it is going to get the money to
make any appropriation at all, is the
puzzle. There are only two possible
solutions of the problem as it now pre
sents itself, and these are either an in
crease of the tax-rate, which can only
be made by Constitutional amendment,
or a longer division of the present pen
sion fund, which would cut the average
pension down in accordance with the
number of new pensioners; admitted to
the lists.
These facts were all made clear prior
to the election, but in spite of them
the people ratified the pension service
amendment by a vote of almost two to

There was an amusing incident in
connection with a wedding in Philadel
phia recently.
About 7 o’clock on the morning of the
wedding day a messenger boy rang the
bell at the home of the bride-elect and
handed out a special delivery letter.
Thin was addressed to the best man.
a Bostonian, who had come to second
his best triend in the ceremony, am
was, with several others, the guest of
the bride’s parents.
The best man was still fast asleep:
but he was promptly awakened on the
supposition that the special delivery
missive must contain something of itn
portance. And it did. On opening the
envelope the recipient whs astonished
to find a sheet of letter paper with
large needle, of the sort men always
chooBe when emergency compels them
to sew, thrust through it, and a foot of
black thread doubled and trailing in
loose tangle down the page. On the
letter paper was this hastily scribbled
note:
Dear Brother—Mother remembered
that there was a button off your dress
coat. It is in your westcoat right-hand
pocket. Hew it on.”
Later four bridesmaids gleefully as
sisted in making the repairs, and this
telegram was sent to mother:
“Don’t worry. Button sewed on.”

talk before the student body, wuh de

children of getting help in their les
sons. and the tendency among parents
to give it too generously. As an illus
tration he told the following incident:
The mother of a small pupil in a Chi
cago school had struggled through the
problems assigned for the child’s next
lesson, and had finally obtained what
appeared to be satisfactory results.
The next day, when the little girl re
turned from school, the mother in
quired, with some curiosity :
“Were your problems correct, dear?”
“No, mamma.” replied the child.
“They were all wrong.”
“All wrong?” repeated the amazed
parent. “Oh, I’m so sorry.”
“Well, mamma, you don’t need to be
sorry.” was the reply. “All the other
mammas had theirs wrong, too.”

The Colonel had remonstrated vigor
ously with Uncle El>h about the old
darkey’s persistent excursions into the
state of inebriation.
Uncle Eph. though he promised
faithfully to refrain from frequent dips
into the flowing howl, failed to live up
to the Colonel’s expectations.
On numerous occasions the Colonel
saw Eph under the influence of liquor,
but the old darkey when taken to task
stoutly denied the accusation, affirming
emphatically that he did not drink.
One evening the Colonel met Uncle
Eph in n condition which made it plain
ly evident that the old darkey was
“caught with the goods on.”
“Eph.” began the Colonel, seriously.
“I thought you told me that you had
given up drink?”
“I sho’ did. Marse Kern’l: I sho’
did,” replied Eph. “But lately I dun
took up drinkin’ an’ gib up lyin.”

The Story of a Medicine.
Its name—"Golden Medical Discovery*
was suggested by one of Its most Import
ant and valuable Ingredients — Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis
covered that lie could, by the use of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex
tract from our most valuable native me
dicinal roots their curative properties
much I letter than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world-
famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for
the cure of weak stomach, Indigestion, or

kindred derangements was first made, as

From these endorsements, copied from

that the Ingredients composing the "Gold

accompained with catarrhal discharges,

until you give It a fair trial and It Is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be oxpocted of It. It will not perform

In Its advanced stages. No medicine will.
It uHll cure the affections that lead up to
consumption, if taken in time.
