that this ruling was incorrect inasmuch
as only twenty-nine of the fifty-eight
delegates had voted for it contrary "a
the constitution which required ma
iority. The chairman thereupon reversed
his ruling. but Mr.. Stetson, of New
York. appealed from the decision, and
this was pending when the deputies adj
journed.
The deputies concurred in the action of
the Bishops in selecting Rev. Samuel
Hart, ID. d.. as Historiographer of the
church in the United States to fill the
position formerly occupied by the late
Bishop Perry.
BY the decisive vote of 81 to n the
House of Bishops today decided not to
agree to general canon on the sub
ject of re-marriage of divorced persons.
The matter was made the subject of
special consideration by the Bishops for
this afternoons session and that body
continued its meeting until nearly 6
O'Clock before disposing of it. 1t can
now only be taken up by a two-thirds
vote. The debate in the House of Bish-
ops today was entirely, with, the excep-
ton Of a single section originating with
the Bishop of Georgia, on the outline
of the form of canon reached after the
debate in tie previous sessions.

A FEATURE OF THE FAIR
THE SIMPSON SHIELDS SHOE COMPANY
ENG AGES SPACE
North Cardinals Only Exclusive Sroe House
ard enc Ct our Leading Mercantile
Establishments.
Establishments.

Mr.. Shields, of the Simpson Shields
Shoe Company, of Greensboro, is in the
city. Mr.. Shields came down to secure
space for making an exhibit at the APP
preaching State Fair He secured good
space and proposes to make one of the
handsomcst exhibits of ladies', mems
footwear that has ever been seen not
only in the State but in the South. The
exhibit will be in charge of Mr. Fields,
one Of the active managers of the firm,
and he will be aided by Messrs. Nj. ID.
Long, j. j. McGoldrick and Herman
Jones' three of the popular travelling
statesmen of the establishment. 1t is
to be one of the most interesting eX-
hibits at the State Fair, and will be
a striking manifestation of the enter
prise and go-ahead-ative-nesso of this stir
ring firm. The Simpson-Shields Shoe
Company came from Tennessee to the
city of Greensboro in April, 1897, and
openpd in Greensboro an extensive eS-
adjustment for the sale of shoes eXclus'
lively at Wholesale. They had made up
their minds that an exclusive wholesale
shoe house in North Carolina could be
made successful and the result has prov
en- that they were Wise men in their
day and generation. They have had the
qualification of seeing the little business
they started less than two years ago
grow into il great big establishment
They have added travelling salesman
after travelling salesman until today they
have five men continuously on the road
fl,ntv, hue, ssfn ! IN
grow until it has outgrown the cOmmO-
dious building in which they started
and forced them to begin the erection
in Greensboro of one of the largest and
handsomest business houses ever erect
ed in the State-a granite front, i've
story building, tifty-two feet wide ana
provided with all the conveniences of a
modern commercial building. They have
seen the few patrons they started out
with grow into more than sixteen hun
dred merchants, who today trade with
them. They have seen their sales OF
So 723 during April, 1897, grow into the
sum of $10,624 during April, 1898. They
have swelled their May, 1897, sales of
S3.S45 to $3S,347 in May. 1898, and
they have increased their sales of June,
1897. of S5.6S7 to nearly seven times
that amount in June, 1898, and all this
means something. 1t means that these
gentlemen know how to do the shoe
business. 1t means that they not only
know how to sell shoes, but they know
how to buy shoes, and it proves that
grit, determination, fair, honest deal
ing and hard work will win in North
Carolina and build up here as well as
elsewhere as successful Il wholesale cs-
Establishment as can be conducted any
where The Simpson-Shields Company
have on the road, besides Messrs. Long,
McGodrick and Jones, Messrs. Frank
III. Neal and W. II. Watkins, Jr, and
all of these are competent, hustling and
successful statesmen. Their exhibit at
the Fair will be complete and an object
lesson for North Carolinians to be-
hold.
