Among the Cotton Dress
Goods yesterday were some
hundreds Of pieces of a sim
gle sort just brought into the
forward stock. Clerks were
busy selecting the duplicates
and stripping the papers from
the pieces to be shown. The
sample pieces had hardly APP
peared before successive
ladies were asking in tones of
decided interest

quick reply to each.
The oft-repeated question
startled others. Isn't it quite
strange that so many know
these goods instantly! How
very remarkable that among
the fine distinctions of light
printed Cottons, this one sort
should be SO readily known !?
1t is strange and remark
able, but after all, natural.
On the 9th of April last year
the Brandenburg Cotton

duced to the civilized world

The Brandenburgs were q
grand success. Other Cotton

and claiming kindred merits
were quickly limping. The
clear, fine printing, the

The lesson from the over

; 1t teaches that the women o

THE Board of Trade dragged itself
together last hight after several failures
for want of quorum, and had some
real practical talk on questions that
interest the city, The tax on manu-
facturers, though but one dollar on
$1,000, was represented to have kept
several enterprises from settling in
our city. This being the case, the
board should have a bill drafted to
send to the Legislature to repeal that
part of the State tax, and then this
drawback would be out of the road.
That the State is out of debt, and does
not need this tax, Is the stronger argu.
ment for the abrogation Of it.

Is the Offer TO Sell Swamp Lands TO the
Highest Bidder Only Farces

There is something in connection with
the swamp land sales in this place last
week that we think needs an explanation.
If what we can gather is true. The 1903
acres in St James township sold to j. D.
Lacey was bid off at fifty cents per acre.
making the aggregate S954.50, and it is
said that after the sale Col. Gibbes,
agent for the State sinking fund
commission, reduced the bid to sew
enteen cents per acre or S32453 for
the tract, making difference of S529.97 less
than the actual bid. A gentleman who
was present at the sale and who was pur-
chasing swamp lands, bid as high as thirty
FIVE cents per acre and would have prooa-
bly bid more, but when it reached fifty
cents per acre be stopped bidding Why
did Col. Gibbes reduce the bid to Mr.
Lacey to seventeen cents per acre when the
State could have obtained at least thlrty-tve
cents and probably more? In justice to the
parties interested in the sale Of these lands
we think the matter should come to light
IF the agent for the sinking fund commits
sion has the power to reduce bids when the
lands are sold. what guarantee can capital
ists have that they con buy these lands at
all ? because if he has such authority. then
it leaves room for the agent to combine with
favorites and run the land to a price be-
yond the reach Of people who wish to give
its value, and sfser the sheriff knocks it
down to the highest bidder then to cut off
everything bat the States cost.
Such proceeding is unfair and calculat-
I'D. to drive investors away from the sales.
In fact wereard a gentleman. interested IN
these matters say y+het if parties are allowed
te bid more than othersand afterwards are
required to pay less than the amount bid,
that he for one would have nothing more to
do with the lands that this State advertises

MOUNT VERNON, MAINE,
May Is, 1915.
DIED
Anril l3. 1891.

On the shaft is heavy cap, and on 1t
small sub-cap, and on it an urn sitting IN q
basket, one side heavily draped, covering
one handle; on the other is beautiful
wreath of roses, hanging under the handle.
The top represents flaming torch. 1t is
one that would do credit tc a cemetery of
greater pretensions. The total height Of
the monument is i04 feet. He has also
placed marble cradle 90 the grave.
In order to give his friends the least pos
sible trouble when he is called FROM earth,
Mr.. HudsiLs has had built vault by the
side of his loved one and in the same man
ner. He also placed box OF cement in it,
SO that when his friends are called on to
perform the last rites they can perform on
earth, he says he wants to give them as lit
tie trouble as possible. The monument
stands at the head and centre of the two
graves in a lot 20 x 20 feet.
The citizens have formed cemetery as
sociation, and are now working on the
grounds, taking everything ont and off that
will make sprout, and will then lay it off
in lots 90 20 feet. There will be u lots,
and unless there is an increase in the death
rate, it will be many years before it is filled
up. In white population of $50 there has
only been six deaths in the same number
of years, and three of them were old per-
sons, and the other three children.
There is mound in the centre of the
cemetery, said to be an Indian burial place.
Arrow heads and bones have been ding up
in it. The trustees propose to dedicate a
lot to the memory sof the Indians, and if
possible to ascertain what tribe lived here,
and erect suitable slab to their memory.

Catar rrh

Is complaint SO common that comparative,
ly few people are entirely free from it, so
insidious that it gains a firm hold almost
before its victims are aware of its presence,
so dangerous as to seriously threaten the
general health, and liable to develop into
bronchitis or
Consumption.
1t is mistake to consider Catarrh merely a
local trouble. It is 6nquestionably dis.
ease of the blood, and therefore the right
way to cure Catarrh is to remove from the
blood the impurities which cause and feed
it. This is to be done by taking Hood
Sarsapariila, the great blood purifier, which
efectually expels all traces of poison and
germs of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla cured me of Catarrh
and built up my general good health, SO
that am feeling better than for years.

The district lodge of Good Templars met
in Sumter last Thursday, and had a pleas
ant meeting. Rev. E. c. Dargan, y. D.,
pastor of the Charleston Citadel Square
Baptist Church, made the finest temperance
address we ever listened to- He spoke
from medical and scientific point of view,
and his arguments were simply unan-
swerable.
The prohibition bill has been given to
the Senate with an unfavorable report, and
it is probable that the Senate will kill it.
How will our senator vote? Is he in favor
of whiskey and continuance of sin and
sorrow from this giant evil? Or will he
stand forth on broad Christian platform
for prohibition and the lessening as much
IS possible Of this great curse to our
country?
The Legislature has passed the ':Anti-Free
Pass" bill, and now it lacks only the sigma
ture of the Governor to become punisha-
bic ofense for any county or State officer,
or my member Of congress from this State,
to receive free pass on railroad. We
think the law eminently good one, and
we are truly sorry that our Governor ever
consented to receive and use o pass. 1t IS
indeed to be regretted, however, that while
he was the holder and user, and therefore
an apologist for this reprehensible practice,
that the bill to deter officials from using
such s'courtesies, should have been intro
dnced and pressed to its passage by those
who are mis- worst haters. 1t would have
