are opposed to Tillman, because he has
sowed dissension and discord among those

advancing his own personal ambition, be-
cause of his attacks upon the enterprises
which have been organized within our
borders by capital at home and from
abroad, because of his iDjudicious man
agement ofo finances, resulting in an in
Jury to our credit at home and abroad, and
in depreciating the value of our bonds,
because he advocates three dollar poll

Attention, LadIest

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: You will
please allow me space in your paper to
enter my solemn protest against prac-
tice that think is more from thoughtless-
ness than anything else.
Some time ago our merchants agreed to
close their respective stores at 6 o'clock,
p. M, from June 1st to September 1st,
and right here let me say that this is very
kind in "our" employers, and believe
they granted this in order that their sales
men might get little rest and recreation.
But it seems as though some of our lady
friends haYe no compassion on the poor,
tired clerks.
You can see almost any afternoon about
6 p. m. these good ladies who forget that
a clerk gets tired, and who seem to think
that the clerks have nothing to do but to
show them goods just to hear them say
"Well, I was just looking. do not know
what I want. In fact, have not made
up my mind what I do want, but thought
I would Just look" Now, Mr.. Editor,
1 mpathize with these creatures. The
fact of the business is that they are telling
the truth when they say, "I do not know
what I want" but pity them. A woman
who has not enough judgment and decis-
ion to select any article she may desire is,
in my Judgment, a very weak creature,
indeed, and needs guardian. I trust our
good ladies will consider this and give the
poor clerk his little rest that has been
granted him by his employer.
