Didn't 1t Though?

Our last advertisement brought us
numbers of purchasers all anxious for
bargains, and they got them too. We
told you that we meant just what we said
that we were gong to sell clothing, and
we did it. The prices were ruinOus, it is
true, but then, in the face of new
season, we couldn't hold the goods, and
no respectable offer was let pass.
We have still lett few of those stylish
" made Gents and Youths suits that
must be closed out, and if you appreciate
bargains now is the opportunity to enjoy
them. Nothing is misrepresented. No
"baits" or ''decoy" offers. We expect
to make a permanent customer of every
caller, and to do that we propose to send
those who do not know us away with an
impression that will bring them back
again.
We would rather let our goods lay on
our shelves and counters unsOld than to
have anyone think that they had been ill
treated or deceived. We propose to pur-
sue our original course, viz: Good
Clothing, made to fit, at the lowest posi-
BILE prices. Sign of the GOLDEN ARM, 159

crazy, and was ready At any time 10 do what
was right and honorable. 10 the contest
two years ago he did what he believed to
he his duty. He pointed to the Senatorial
fight between Col. Rawls and Mr.. Mel
dTim. Mr.. Rawls WAS then the nOmi-
nee Of the country. bCt the country failed
to support him. and he was defeated. If
the country had stood by Col. Rawls as
a unit he believed he would have
been elected. Now the delegation from
Chatham had been instructed to vote for
Capt. Falligant. Had il not been so in
structed the situation would have been
different. He thanked the Bryan and
Efingham delegations for the cOmpli-
ment they had paid to him, but under no
circumstances could he accept the noml-
nation IL it were rendered him.
This clearly defined the position which
Major SchwarZ held, and IN view OF his
declination Mr.. Smith withdrew his name
and presented the name Of H. g. kuckuck.
1Ir. Kuckuck was a stranger to many of
the delegates, and, not being known,
his presentation created some sur
prise. He is the proprietor of
the FdnllieR journal, German
family paper, and is Secretary of the
German-American Citizens Association.
Mr.. Smith said he had been informed that
if MIR. kuckuck was made the nominee OF
brief consultation n ballot was taken.
Bryan and bingham. true 70 their word,
voted solid for Mr.. kuckuck. Chatham
held to Capt. Falligant.
Mr.. Lawton said the ballOting had now
been going on three days. 1t seemed i'm
probable that a nomination would be
reached before another day. He moved
an adjournment until lOo'elOck this morn
ing.
Mr.. Smith moved as an amendment that
the convention meet at Eden.
The amendment was lost, and the
motion 10 adjourn until 10 O'Clock this
morning was carried.
\ There were various rumOrs afioat last
night as to the direction the convention
would take to-day. 1t is generally I'M
derstOOd that the SOlicitorship fight be-
tween MIR. Clifton and MIR. DuBignon has
an important bearing on the Senatorial
contest, and that the delegates are in-
tluenced by motives Of preference in
the SOlicitOrship race to support candi-
dates favorable to the men OF their choice.
The MORNING NEWS some time ago al
luded 10 this feature of the contest. 1t
has been stated that OVertures have been
made by the Bryan and bingham delega-
lions to the Chatham delegation agreeing
TO give their support 10 any man not
favorable TO Mr.. DuBignOn for Solicitor.
Fhis has been emphatically denied. Capt.
Fallfgant has been understood all along
to be favorable to Mr.. DuBignon, but
the country delegations deny that their
opposition to him is due TO this fact.
Their course from the start, they say, has
been aEainst any candidate that Chatham
has Endorsed and attempted TO dictate to
them as the man who should be the nomi-
nee of the district.
The convention will begin its fourth
days session this morning. 1t has as a
precedent for its prolonged sitting the
Congressional Convention which nomi-
mated Hon. Thomas NJ. Norwood in July.
Whether it will conclude the business
before it to-day is a question difficult to
speculate upon with any degree Of GER
taiutV.

The Pure water Question.

Mr.. A. n. Miller. the Superintendent of
the Savannah Water Works, has made an
improvement in the iiltering of water by the
Hyatt process, described in the MORNING
NEWS some time since. MIR. Miller has
added lime TO the water. which destroys
the effect of the alum used in the filterer.
He made the experiment with the appa-
ratus located in the basement of the Ex-
change building, and extends an invita-
ton to all interested to call at that place
and test the water.
In Cincinnati this systemis undergoing
a test, and from the newspaper accounts
is apparently meeting with approval.
The Commercial Gazette of that city says:
I'm q straightforward way the Filtering
Company have come before the Board of Pub
lie Works with a business-like proposition
that challenges criticism. They viii attach
their alters to the Hunt street Works to meet
the supply thence OF 5000, 900 gallons per day,
aud run them sixty days. Al the end of that
time, if these filters shall pass the regular
supply. clear as crystal, with impurities elimi-
mated, the city shall pay them $4,000 for their
works. Thew make u proposition for the
Third street Works, 100000 gallons per day,
of 100000. These gentlemen evidently know
what they can do. Their idea Is that II al
lowed by our city authorities to do this eX-
detrimental work entirely at their own eX-
pense and risk. they viii achieve such sue
cess that the city viii employ them to filter
the entire water supply on a similar basis as
10 cost. thus securing clear and healthful
water and obviating tue necessity for the big
pvupnSa of removal OF the works.
