But we are right here in lola
selling goods, and the way we
are selling them is evidence
that we are doing just what
we say. We do not claim to
give you two dollars for one,
but we will guarantee to save
you from % to 30 per cent, and
the proof of this statement
is evidenced every day. When
people had expected to have
to pay out any amount of
money when they get what
they counted on buying, they
have money left, and then
they have to look for more
goods to spend the money, or
have it left on hand. This
may seem strange, but we will
prove to your entire satisfac-
tion that you can get more
goods for your money than
you ever dreamed of. Our
stock of goods, and quality,
are so well known TO the peo-
pie that they recommend
themselves, and any insinua-
tions made by some of our
competitors, well, you don't
need to be told the reason, you
just come and see for your
selves and you will be con-
vinced we've got what you
want. Our line of ladies,
misses and childrens capes
and Jackets; mems, boys and
childs suits and overcoats
can't be beat. And shoes, we
have enough to shoe Allen

have enough to make you
warm to look at them, and
underwear to continue to keep
you warm. Dress goods, we
have a fine line, and every

Local Political Notes .

There was a splendid Republican
meeting at Jeddo yestesday night,
the house being filled with voters who
listened earnestly to the speeches by
Senator Lamb and Mr.. Savage. The
latter spoke briefly, on account of in
disposition, and so the principal ad-
dress was made by Senator Lamb.
And it was solid convincing speech
issues, and the corruption, hypocrisy
and Incompetence of the Leedy ad-
ministration was shown so plainly
and proven so clearly that even the
Populists present could not help be-
lieving 1t. Senator Lamb always
knows what he is talking about, and
his sincerity and earnestness and elo-
quence give his speeches great weight,
We wish every voter in the county
could hear him.
The fusion candidates recognize
that it is not worth while for them to
try to hold many meetings out in the
country, for the reason that the people
will not come oct to hear them, and
for the farther reason that they would
not have anything to talk about IL the
people did come, and so they are driv-
ing around the county in pairs, max
lng a personal canvass. They are
pleasant gentlemen, and the people
will treat them pleasantly,-and vote
for candidates who stand for some
thing besides the salary of the Office
they are seeking.

This country has not declared neu-

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Bids were

struction at the Union Iron Works.
Newport News and Cramps.
This is the second time that the gov
eminent has endeavored to secure bids
for supplying the armor for these ships.
The first effort made about q year ago
was unsuccessful because Congress
had made the minimum cost per ton
for the armor at figure below tho
cost of production. The present APP
preparation bill having increased the
price allowed to $500 per ton, today's
efforts were successful.
: For the Illinois the two armor COM
panies. Bethlehem and Carnegie, di-
vided the bids, one taking the lighter
armor and the other the heavier. For
the Alabama the Bethlehem company
bid $1.O22.504, while the Carnegie COM
pany did not bid. For the Wisconsin,
the Carnegie company bid 81 .02S, 5O4
The rate in each case was $500 per ton
fiat for bolts and armor, the maximum
amount allowed by Congress. The
Bethlehem company undertakes to be-
gin deliveries Of armor within seven
months after contract and to supply
300 tons monthly. The Carnegie COM
pany will begin December l, next. and
supply the same amount monthly.
