A possible customer in the millinery de-
partment was examining hat very atten-
lively when the ambitious sales girl ap-
preached, says the New York Press.
THAT hat is a bargain" she said per
suasively, reduced from $40. 1t is just
the thing to suit your style"
The customer nodded but said nothing.
and the girl persisted. ''AIy friends think
have excellent taste In such matters, and
! should be glad to suggest any little al
terra ton that may be necessaryin the trim
ming. The hat viii look lovely on you"
II am looking for a hat for my daugh-
ter, who Is just seventeen" said the Gus
toner, quietly.
The sales girl fastened TO make amends,
"Oh" she said. better take the hat be-
cause It Is a bargain. IL will look Just as
we'll on a young face"
Then she wondered why an angry wo-
man bounced out OF the store.

The south Disseminated Against.

The republican party retains its oid-time
attitude Of hostility towards the south.
Renewed evidence OF this is seen in the
Senate's substitute tariff bill. The south
Is opposed to the principle upon which the
bin has been constructed. It realizes that
success, to be permanent, must be achiev-
ed by merit and upon intrinsic worth.
Prosperity TO the masses cannot be
brought about by levying heavy taxes
upon them Healthful industries cannot
be reared upon stimulants any more than
a healthful man can be reared upon
whisky
Since a protectionist tariff bin is to be
passed, however, the south has insisted
that it be treated fairly; that it be not
Disseminated against; that what it had
to sell should be protected" in proportion
to what it was compelled to buy. The in
justice of placing high duties upon pro-
ducts of the north and west which the
south must purchase, and OF placing low
duties or no duties at all upon the pro-
ducts which the south must dispose Of.
is garingly manifest. There were GER
tain democrats last fall who probably had
an idea that the republican party could
be trusted to give the south justice in the
new tariff bill
How has that expectation been met? A
glance down the proposed tariff lists as
they stand to-day-and it is probable that
the bill passed will be virtually the bill
which the Senate has before it as a SUBJ
stitute for the Dingley bill-Will show that
what the south has to buy from the north
and west is blanketed with protection,
while what the south has to sell is left out
in the cold TO a very considerable extent.
Passing over the matter Of rice, and other
southern articles which have been unfair
" dealt with by the Senates committee,
the two articles of bauxite and borax may
be used 10 illustrate how the republicans
discriminate. and log-roll, and use the
tariff to buy political influence and pay
debts
If there is an Infant industry" IN this
country. the bauxite industry Is one.
Bauxite is the clay from which aluminium
is made The production of the metal is
comparatively new in this country. espec-
tally for commercial purposes. 1t is made
quantities in Georgia. The republicans
were asked to put a duty on bauxite
Upon their own policy of fostering lin
FAINT industries" the republicans should
have imposed the duty, without being
asked to do it. But the senate's commit
tee declines to allow the duty. Beauxite
is a southern product.
Borax is found in large quantities upon
the desert of Nevada. 1t is worth in the
market only or cents a pound. At that
price it Is not profitable to Senator Jones
constituents. Jones vote is wanted by
the tariff thinkers and he is willing to sell.
He therefore makes a strike for duty on
borax, among other things, and gets it,
Borax, as everybody knows, is a house
hold necessity coming in the way Of
soaps, and in other forms. Every per
son who uses soap. therefore, is to be
taxed in order that the vote of Jones of
Nevada for the tariff bill may be secured.

real estate LoolSing On.

The monthly sales day held at the court
house on Tuesday presented some cheer
ing features. The sales were larger than
had been the case for many months. The
crowd in attendance was made up of buy
ers, not lookers-on; buyers who were look
ing for investments, aud who were steady
bidders. There was an evident inclination
to buy and the prices paid for property,
while not extravagant, were regarded by
those who are well qualified to judge as
indicative of a much better feeling in real
estate.
Real estate dealers report considerable
inquiry for property. and quite a large
amount of sales at private terms, some of
them being fully up to their highest pre-
vious valuation and others at a little less.
Desirable and eligible properties show little
or no decline in values as compared with
three years ago. OF course there Is vir-
tually nothing doing in the way of sales
of large acreages Of speculative holdings,
though lots in the extension, bought dur
ing the boom, have been selling at fun
prices, and in some instances at heavy
advance. Several whole blocks which were
sold In the past year or two have been re-
sold by the lot az handsome profits IN
town property, several profitable deals
have been made by parties who bought
last fall and sold this spring.
