Last years demand for our Leader was
so large that we were unable to manufac-
ture them as fast as they were ordered.
This wear we have one mammoth factory
that manufactures nothing but this line,
and we are making this boot in such
immense quantities that we are able to
produce a much better.boot.
We have many new improvements in
this line: first, it is made of heavy gem
uine Dongola, solid leather sole and inner
sole; second, it has leather sock lining,
which no other but high-priced boot
has third, it has back-stay fourth, as
much care is taken in selecting this stock,
and in making, as in our higherpriced
goods; fifth, we not only warrant but we
guarantee every line to be Just as repre-
sented. The above cut is an exact copy
of the boot itself.

The September receipts of cotton
this year are considerably in advance
of last year, owing to the favorable
weather for gathering aud the fair price
which the staple brought in the mar
ket. The record this year is 1897 bales
against 951 last year.
The steam Gin of Mr.. Brown Greer
in beat 5, was destroyed by fire Sunday
morning before daylight. with foul
bales of cotton. The loss amounts tC
between $500 and $1,000, with no insur
ance. The fire is believed to be the
work of an incendiary.
At their regular monthly meeting
Wednesday night, the city council fix
ed the city tax levy for 1895 at 9 mills
on the dollar. The tax is the same as
last year. Of this mills goes to the
teachers fund, 34 mills to the revenue
fund and III to the bond interest fund
The personally assessment is little
less than last year. as e-..,t.
Hon. Hector d. Lane, President OF
the American Cotton Growers Protec

price of cotton has come to stay. and
he advises all who can do so to hold
back their cotton for still further
advance. He says under the present
crop and trade conditions the crop is
worth 101s cents, and that before Jan
uary American, English, and Continen-
tai cotton buyers viii be outbidding

We hear these same Prohibition
Democrats singing, ''Oh! the happy
time is coming, yes, ii Is coming, when
Christians will vote as they pray"
Dear Christian, have you ever prayed
for the perpetuation of the liquor traf-
fic? Did you ever pray for the party
that is pledged, heart and hand, to the
liquor business to hold the reigns of
Government? IL so, you should be
consistent enough ito vote as you
pray" Let all your service, whether
it be singing, praying or voting, be
done from right motives. / have it in
my heart to say that the man or party
that doesn't declare for Prohibition is
pandering to the saloon for the sake
of the saloons support. This means,
simply, conformity to the saloons
idea. 1t has ever been the pride of the
saloons spirit to patronize a party that
maintains nothing i'm it in common
with the Spirit of God.
In conclusion will say, let us be
cautious as to how we hurl unkind crit
icisms at those who are laboring for
Prohibition, the cause for which we
"have troubled the waters, in both
Church and State" for fear that we
shall be drifted into the quicksands or
thrown upon the breakers that lie con-
tiguous to the current of the age in
which we live.

| lar Skill.
The Australian boomerang throwers.
who have been in this city for a couple
OF weeks waiting for good weather so
as to give a performance, gave an ex-
hibition of their skill on the vacant
lot at First and E streets at IL O'Clock
this morning. A number of newspa-
per men and others were present by
invitation of the proprietors. Three
of the cannibals took part in the exhi-
bition.
The performance justified all that
has been said of the wonderful skill of
the bushmen with the ordinary look
ing curved sticks. King Bill took a
boomerang by the small end and threw
it out with great force at an angle of
about forty five degrees. It rose to a
height of probably sixty feet with q
sharp cutting noise, and maintaining
its elevation described circle of about
200 feet in diameter. When it had
reached a point almost above the
thrower it gently descended to within
twenty feet of the ground and contin-
ued its flight at that distance above
the ground for about rs feet in front
of the thrower 1t. then stopped its
forward motion gently descending on
an incline toward the man who threw
it, falling to the ground from one to %
feet. from him, according to the skill
used in throwing. One fellow threw
one very swiftly through the air about
two feet off the ground. When it had
got about 60 feet from him, one end
struck the ground and the boomerang
suddenly flew up in air at an angle of
probably 80 degrees for distance of
80 feet.
