We have made unusual preparations for this sale, and will offer some very
attractive merchandise at exceedingly low prices. As usual, we will sell
remnants, odd pieces of goods, etc., which we are desirous of closing out;
but, in addition, we have purchased some new merchandise for this special
occasion, which we are going to sell way under regular price “Clover Day.”
Towels

Here’s a chance that does not
come often of securing a staple,

price. We bought them months
ago for this sale, when cotton
was way down. We could not
duplicate if bought to-day for
the price we are going to offer
them. They are 20x42 inches
in size, which means a big tow
el;—the price, 10c. each. Buy
all you will need for the next
two or three years.
Here’s a material 39 inches
wide for making fine underwear,
E ut up in 10-yard lengths in a
ox--the kind you ordinarily
pay $1.50 for—“Clover Day”
$1 a box, or cheaper than
bleached domestic.
Here’s a lot of children’s
stockings of excellent quality.
We have sold stockings not so
good for 25c. They run in all
sizes, from 5 to 8$, but none
larger. Price 12£c, pair.
A lot of short lengths in laces
and embroideries, together with
a few odd patterns on the bolt,
which we are closing out. Half-
price or less on these.
Here’s a beautiful quality
yard-wide linen, shrunk ready
for use, specially adapted to
dress purposes;—25c. a yard,
worth nearly double.
Cloverdale Linene
Dress Goods
Remnants
Silks
A beautiful quality of fine
bleached linen-finish suiting
that sells ordinarily at 15c. a
yard—“Clover Day,” 10c. (It
is full yard-wide.)
A great opportunity for mon
ey-saving in dress goods. They
range in value from 50c. tp $2
a yard. Our price from 29c. to
59c. a yard.
We have gathered together
all the remnants in wash goods,
white goods and dress goods,
measured them up and marked
them by the piece. You’ll find
some rare values here.
Remnants of ribbon at half-
price or less.
Not a yard of these silks has
ever been reduced before. They
are simply what is left from last
season’s selling. In the lot are
a few yard-wide silks. They
are all worth a dollar a yard,
or more. The price “Clover

FLAPJACK DAYS.
How dear to my heart are the flnpjnckB and bacon
That mother constructed in days Ion» atro,
And how I would eat till my food-shop was achin’,
And swullow each jack till the flap didn’t show;
The coffee and rolls, and the fritters that sizzled,
The cat that sat meowing: for scraps now and
then—
O, you may huve breakfast served up in three
courses.
But give me the flapjacks and bacon again.

Chairman Hall Issues Address to Vo
ters of the State.
Hon. Hewlette A. Hall, chairman of
the State Democratic Committee, has
issued the following address to the
Democratic voters of Georgia, urging
the necessity of registering by April 5:
‘To the Democratic Voters of Geor
gia: By the terms of the registration
law of 1908 the right to qualify by reg
istration as an elector for all State
elections to be held this year, will ter
minate on April 5, next.
“Early in the year I mailed to each
Tax Collector of the State a request to
furnish me the number of _ voters who
had registered in his county up to and
including Dec. 31, 1909. Returns have
been received from seventy-six of the
one hundred and forty-six counties of
the State. These indicate a registration
in the counties heard from of 80 per
cent., as compared with the vote cast
in said counties in the primary of June
4, 1908.
“As there are always those who, from
one cause or another, do not vote, the
primary of June, 1908, hardly repre
sented the full vote of the, State at
that time. It would be conservative to
say that 25 per cent, of the qualified
voters of that year did not participate
in that primary. Assuming this to be
true, the registration as shown by t
returns from the seventy-six counties
heard from, would represent about 65
per cent, of the qualified white voters
of said communities. As J;hese seven
ty-six counties are located in every sec
tion of the State the registration may
be said to fairly represent the condi
tion as it exists in the entire State.
“The shortness of the tim left in
which the voter may regisi#
greap importance of a full
of our people, is the occasii
r,ppe:*l.
‘ That .-very citizen, qua
i • « should register an- ^adst
I That it j a .,u, ■ .tic
does not admit of . au-
t apathy of electors is the
A< weakness of a repub-
inuitference of the citizen
and the
si ratidh
r this
(I
body has ever marked the decay of free
government.
‘Bad laws and unfaithful officials can
only exist in a republic by grace of
the people’s will, or of their indiffer
ence. The law, good or bad, is but the
expression of the popular will. The
administration of the law, faithful,
faulty or corrupt, is but the reflection
of th@ popular wish. Not that a ma
jority of the people want bad laws, nor
that they favor a weak and inefficient
administration of the law, but because
of the engrossment of so many good
citizens in their private affairs, and
their disinclination to enter the field of
political activity, there exists a wide
spread indifference among our people
to this particular phase of civic duty.
“The occasion is not inopportune to
state that the individual responsibility
of each citizen for the civic condition
of his State and nation is the most im
portant and wholesome lesson our peo
ple can learn. State character is but
a reflection of the character of the in
dividual citizen. He is the source and
fountain-head of law, and has in his
power, either directly or indirectly, the
bestowal of every official commission.
If a law is bad, if an official is urifaith-
ful, he has in the ballot tin unfailing
corrective. That bad laws and unfaith
ful officials are sometimes found in a
free government is because the people
are indifferent to the exercise of their
duty, or else misconceive the true pur
pose of it.
“The right of franchise is not tf pri
vate asset, but a public trust. The
citizen who would sell his vote would,
as a public official, accept a bribe; and
he who would cast his ballot for per
sonal benefit stands in the same class
with the official who would use public
funds to pay private debts; and the
voter who would cast his ballot as
pledge of friendship has not a whit
higher regard for his duty than the of
ficial who, though. elected to enforce
the law, would wink at its evasions and
even its open infractions to repay per
sonal obligations or political debts.
“As the individual is the State in
miniature, reform must begin with him.
He must exalt his conception of the
right to vote and of the unsolfish pa
triotism which should inspire him in
chs* ng his ballot.
“It is nanifest that those who ex
pect to reap personal gain from the ex
ercise of the franchise will register and
voto. It is that large class of our citi
zens who expect no personal emolu
ments to accrue from voting, and the
others whose private business may
cause them to neglect to register, who
must be awakened and aroused to the
importance of qualifying themselves
for the patriotic exercise of this high
privilege and the performance of this
important duty. Not to register is to
indirectly assist the enemies of good
government.
“I most earnestly urge every white
citizen in the State to register without
delay. Do not wait until it is conven
ient, but put yourself to some incon
venience to do so. Register yourself,
and urge every good citizen to do like
wise.
“This is one of the highest obligations
of a good citizen. By the faithful use
of the ballot we can make our laws
just, and their administration ‘impar
tial and complete.’ Then will come the
rule of the people exemplified in the
reign of law. H. A. Hall,
Chairman State Democratic Executive
Committee.
Newnan, Ga., Feb. 19, 1910.
Bogus Highlanders.
A short while ago there was started a
movement to have the kilts of a certain
one of the British “Highland” regiments
discarded in favor of ordinary trousers.
It was objected that the men would be
discontented at this change, and the
colonel gave orders that a census of the
regiment be taken, in order to ascer
tain the wishes of the men themselves.
The colonel is the descendant of a long
line of Scotch lairds and strives earnest
ly to uphold the old traditions.
The sergeant who took the census of
the regiment finally appeared with his
report.
“All the men, with the exception of
three, are in favor of the change, sir,”
he said.
“Indeed!” the colonel said. “Tell me
the names of these three true clans
men. They shall be promoted.”
The sergeant read from his list,
“They are, sir,” he said, “Patrick
Doolan, Hans Steinbrenner and Moses
Ikenstein.”
Raising the “Maine.”
New York Mail.
President Taft’s approval of a bill
prepared by Representative Loud, of
Michigan, providing for the removal of
the wreck of the battleship Maine from
the harbor of Havana, will make it ex
ceedingly difficult to delay that project
any longer. The mysterious influences
which have thus far halted the perform
ance of a plain national duty will find
it hard to maintain an effective oppo
sition to an undertaking so earnestly
favored by public sentiment and so
heartily approved by the Chief Execu
tive of the Government.
It is nearly twelve years since the
Maine was destroyed, and within her
ruins lie the remains of scores of Amer
ican sailors, who were entitled to hon
ored sepulcher in their own country.
They have not received it. The Govern
ment has violated a solemn pledge it
gave them when they entered its ser
vice. The wreck is an obstacle, if not
a peril to navigation. We could remove
it if we would, but we have not only
refused to do so, but have intimated
that no other Government will be al
lowed to do it. Our national attitude
is that of unreasoning, inexplicable op
position to discharging a high obliga
tion, which should have been undertak
en immediately after the restoration of
peace with Spain.
The Maine should be raised, and can
be if Congress would give the word.
The neglected wreck in the harbor of
a friendly nation, whose Government
would gladly have it removed, is a re
proach to the American people. Honor,
duty, justice, and good faith with those
who pledged their lives to the national
defense all demand that the lost ship
be brought back to American waters
and its martyrs given honorable burial
in the land for which they died. Fur
ther delay would expose the nation to
the suspicion of timidity, as well as in
gratitude.
Hoarse Coughs, Stuffy Coughs,
pain in the chest and sore lungs, are
symptoms that quickly develop into a
dangerous illness if the cold is not cured.
Foley's Honey and Tar stops the cough,
heals and eases the congested pares,
and brings quick relief. Sold by all
druggists.
A Safeguard to Children.
“Our two children of six and eight
years have been since infancy subject
to colds and croup. About three years
ago I started to use F 'ey’s Honey and
Tar, ahd it hus nev iled to mv nt
and cure these trou > It is tne ■ . y
medicine 1 can get i . t nildren to taae
without a row.” The above from W.
C. Oriintein, Green Bay, Wis., duplicates
the experience of thousands of other
users of Foley’s Honey and Tar. Sold
