•j c^dit Refused To Mrs.
Cleveland,
' Washington, Nov. 2?':—The re¬
! rua liable spectacle of a big dry
8 00 ds firm refusing credit to the
1 of the White House
! mistress
ff as witnessed by a throng of
.
r shoppers several days ago.
The affair has thus far been
kept out of the papers, though
it was whispered around among
the friends of the people who
were gathered about the coun¬
ter at the time the incident cc
enred in one of the stores on
Punsylvaliia avenue.
While the usual crowd of bar¬
gain seekers were making their
purchases.the President’s car¬
riage drew up in front of the
establishment. Mrs. Cleveland’s
maid alighted and went inside.
Stepping toward the counter
where children’s dress goods
were displayed, she looked
over the goods 1
Then selecting several dress
patterns she handed the ejerk
a note beariug the engraved in¬
scription, “Executive Mansion.”
Smilingly, she said;
“Mrs. Cleveland said to
charge to the President.
There was a moment’s hesi¬
tation. The clerk beckoned to
the proprietor, and together
they talked in low tones'
Finally the clerk turned
around and stammeringly said.
“I am sorry, but it is strictly
against our rules to charge
goods. I assure you”—he be¬
gan, but was interrudted by
the maid, who, with flashing
eyes, in an excited manner,
exclaimed:
“What, you refuse to give
credit to the Presidont of the
United States?”
All eyes were turned toward
the girl, who stood staring at
the clerk.
“We do not exactly refuse to
give credit to the President;
but, you see, we do not open
b>ok account.”
•‘Then you doubt my coming
from the White House, do you?”
“Not ot all; we ouiy regret not
being able to comply with Mrs.
Cleveland’r request.”
The maid to the most popular
woman in America turned from
the counter and rapidly made
her way to the White House

The manager of the store later
explained the occurence.
I i We t egret annoying Mr.
Cleveland or his wife.’’ he said,
“but had we granted the request
it would have been a violation
of our rules. We long ago
found it safer to abolish the
credit system and go on a ‘pay
one pay all.’ plan. This we
were forced to do for our own
protection. It is hard enough
to collect bills anyway.
t i So far as distinguished peo¬
ple are concerned, we have
found that they are able to
avoid payments, for there is a
‘code of etiquette’ absolving
them from the harassing col¬
lector.
“However, it was not that
we did not believe the White
House exchequer is adequate to
pay all legitimate bills, but a
rule which applies to one,
should be enforced without dis¬
crimination.”

He who considers your need

He who rejoices at your good
fortune, condemns your faults
sympathizes with your sorrows,

and a safe fortress in trouble.
He who when he reaches the

and tnerefore, must be so to you.
He who is the same today,

He who guards your interests
as his own, neither flatters nor
deceives, gives just praise to

He who is the same to you in

poverty: whose cheerful smile
sheds sunshine in every com

He who will oe a balance in

Editor Conyers Weekly;—
Rockdale countj can boast
of two as faithful members of
the Legislature as any county
in Georgia, in Dr. Stewart and
Hon. R. H. Cannon.
Dr. Stewart is a leading
member of the Senate, and such
is the high estimate placed upon
his good judgment in all mat¬
ters of legislation that his views
are as much sought as any
member of either house. Dr.
Stewart is perfectly devoted to
the people of his county aud
senatorial district. He is a
grand old-time gentleman
hicrhlv esteemed by all the sen
ators and represenatives.
Mr. Cannon watches closely
every bill that comes up iu
er house that cold directly affect |
his constiluency.He is the friend
of the farmer and all classes
of the laboring people. Helegis
lutes as much for the poor as the
rich and there is not a member
in the house or senate who
