in the primary election her e to-day

WASHINGTON, May 6.—An almost
solid Democratic vote will be cast for
the Underwood tariff bill, which will
come up for final action in the House
probably Thursday. Several Ohio
Democrats, opposed to the free wool
provision in the bill, will vote against
it, including Representative Ashbrook.
There probably will be no other Dem
ocratic votes in opposition.
Progressives will divide. Represen
tative Murdock, Progressive leader,
voting against the measure. Some
of his followers will vote for it, and
still others will not vote at all. Rep
resentative Kent, of Ohio, Independ
ent. will vote for the bill.
A final show-down on the question
of whether raw wool should remain
on the free list came to-day, and it
was apparent that there was a multi
tude of Democratic votes to make cer
tain that the provision will be in the
bill.
Opponents of the income tax prin
ciple are about evenly divided be
tween the Democratic and Republican
sides, although no Democrats will op
pose the bill.
LUMBERMEN THREATEN
TO SEEK AID OF COURTS
Roads Contend Carrying Charge for
Fragile Building Material Should
Be Higher Than for Brick.
Hollow tile, used in the construc
tion of Atlanta skyscrapers, should
be carried by the railroads at the
same rate as ordinary building brick,
according to the contention of the
manufacturers. The railroads con
tend that hollow tile is more fragile
than brick, can not be loaded as heav
ily. and should take a higher rate.
The case was before the Georgia
Railroad Commission Tuesday for a
hearing. The Chattanooga Sewer
Pipe Co., whose plant is across the
line in Georgia, and the Oconee Brick
and Tile Co., of MUledgevllle, Ga.,
are the principal complainants.
Another case before the commis

before that,” she said. “I was lone
some. I was a careless little girl
when I went out seeking amusement,
chaperoned at first, and later alone.
‘‘Now I am branded. 1 am paying
for my sin. 1 wish to warn other
girls not to marry until they grow
up. It’s best to wait until they can
deny themselves the little pleasures
young girls like.”
Williams was held without bail by
a Coroner's jury. He will plead he
shot LeCount in self-defense. Wil

"THE GIRL” SPLENDIDLY PLAYED.
With every part excellently cast. “The
Girl From (Jut Yonder” was given the
initial performance of the week by Miss
Billy Long and supporting company at
tho Atlanta last night.
The big audience was in thorough
sympathy with the work of the players,
generous in applause und laughter.
The central characters in the story
are the daughter and father, played by
Miss Long and Joseph Kirkmtm. and
that their work was most excellent is
best evidenced by the fact that the big
scene -the parting -in the third act whs
met by a silence as breathless us it was
profound, and in which the female cle
ment of the audience were constantly
drying their eyes, more or less surrep
titiously.
The story of tho play briefly is that
an old light house keeper has reared
his daughter from infancy to young
womanhood as a rough little sea chap,
with all the characteristics and manners
of the rough sea folks. When the story
opens she has met a young civil en
gineer and they love each other. The
old fat Iter believes that twenty years
earlier in* lias murdered the civil en
gineer’s father in a drunken lit. That
his daughter may marry' the young man,
he tells her that she is not his daugh
ter, but u Lit of human flotsam from a
wreck. That another killed the en
gineer’s father is shuwn in the last act,
and all comes out right.
Without exception, every part was
well played, ami besides those men-
tioneo above, Ralph Marthy as Joey
handled a difficult character study well,

Francis. Each of them scores the usual
hit. Little Miss Washington with her
violin—in the parlance of the footlights
registers a “regular knockout.’’

Now all who have waited, stop waiting.
It is time to act quickly, surely.
To you who know the Chamberlin-Johnson DuBose Co.’s methods, the way things are done in such
sales, the simple announcement that tomorrow is the day would doubtless prove sufficient—but never
theless, you who know us best can hardly appreciate the true significence of to-morrow’s event.
This outranks other spring sales!
There is a finality about it, from the price viewpoint, from the style viewpoint; the finality of the
price viewpoint you see below; that t of the style viewpoint you shall see to-morrow—we can but hint
of it here.
The suits are fresh, bright, splendid styles, a great part of them just sent us by our buyer, now re
turning from New York. To say they are the latest styles is to tell an interesting fact, and one that is
full of interest to women at this time, when stocks are supposed to be rather low and picked-over.
So up to-morrow and to this sale—nothing that could be desired has been left undone, your suit,
in the material, sehde and fashion you want is here—at one of these prices.
$25.00 $20.75 $35.00 $37.50 Suits
at $14.75
Picture the charmingest suits that this gay sea
son has brought out at prices $25.00 to $37,50, these
are what you are going to choose from to-morrow
at $14.75. Serges, corded and striped materials
eponges in all colors—which of course means that
the staple navy and black suits are included—and
shepherd checks. We will not attempt the styles,
their name is liqion, qualified by beautiful—cuta
ways, blouses, plain tailored.
$30.50, $35.00, $38.50 to $60.00 Suits
At $22.50
Here we get into the suits distinguished by
Paris style points-—the “de luxe” suits; in fact, t a
splendid little lot of silk suits in bright spring colors
has been included, too. Gracefully draped skirts
are prominent and little cutaway coats.and odd
blouses and rich trimmings and again just simple
elegance. Many are of imported fabrics, serge,
eponge, diagonals, light,
any color.
