1t is confidently predicted in Washing
.on that this second call for volunteers
denotes an early and concerted move upon
Cuba and Porto Rico. With this under
standing of it the proclamation of May %
will be as welcome TO the American peo-
PIE as was that of Al ril 23 calling out
the first 12J.0UO volunteers, and will be
responded to as heartily and as promptly.
In answer to the first call the quotas are
practically all filled except those of a few
Southern States. When the full number
of men allowable under these two procla-
nations has been enlisted. and when the
regular army has been recruited to the
limit permitted under its present organ
ization. the United States will have under
arms. including regulars and volunteers.
a total of nearly 2S0.000 men. With such
an army to supplement our gallant navy
we ought to be bic to take anything short
of Madrid itself.
Like the men called out under the for
mer proclamation, these new volunteers
are to be enlisted for two years. unless
sooner discharged. But unlike the 9th
crs these will not be drawn exclusively
from the State militia organiza tions. The
enlistments will be open to .)l men of
proper age and physical abilities. irrespec-
tive of whether they have had previous
military training or not This will give
a much desired opportunity to many pri-
yate organizations of military nature to
see active service. and it will also give Il
similar chance to thousands of patriotic
individuals who have belonged to no or
ganization at all. Reports from various
States indicate that the call will meet
with hearty response. Independent COM
panies are already organized in many of
the States. and these will be offered to
the service of the country.

A Growing Enterprise.

There are few people outside of the city
who realizeth rapid growth of an establish
ment in our midst; although to its infancy
it has twice enlarged its capacity during it's
three years of life in Staunton. Strict ad.
herence to business principles on a conser-
vative basis is the one ground of success.
Goods of superior quality, bought for cash
and marked in plain figures for cash; with
the same uniform price to every customer,
no exaggeration as to quality ever allowed
by any of the salespeople, goods bought and
not satisfactory can be returned and money
will be refunded. When goods are bought
and do not come up to what they are repre-
sented to be, an allowance will always be
made. These are the principles that have
brought to prominence the mercantile estab-
lishment of The j. Z. Bishop Cash Company,
who occupy five rooms at ITO and 112 West
Main Street. These rooms are packed with
every conceivable kind of new spring mer-
chandise awaiting the arrival and inspec-
ton of all people who like to make their
money 60 as far as possible. One bargain
that deserves special mention is two cases
of Sea Island and Pacific Percales which
were secured under their value. This firm

most stores ask from 1871 to Is cents for the
same goods. Another special we cannot re-
