1t is characteristic of the Ameri-
can people that while they are more
or less lavish in the adornment of
their homes. and in ministering to
their family needs and comforts, they
are not inclined to pay extortionate
prices. That is to say, they demand
the worth of their money. 1t is this
controlling sentiment of self preser-
walton financially which impels them
to turn to the advertising columns
Of a reliable newspaper for informa-
ton as to goods and prices. Many
Intending purchasers may have a
favorite store in mind; but if there
be no business announcements to
tell of it, while scores of other es-
Establishments are extensively and al
luringly advertised, that one partic-
ular store is certain to be ignored.

The Legislature and The leaders

Judging from the dispatch from
! Charleston. published by the Intelligent
ccr, yesterday, Concerning conferences
between Republican and Democratic
/. leaders looking to some way Of settling
the contests before the senate and
house Of delegates, there is aD indica-
tlon of'a desire on both sides to reach
conclusion that VIII expedite the matter
and avoid an unnecessary long-drawn-
out partisan contest, which might, be
accompanied with feelings of bitterness
and scandal.
Chairman Dawson felt compelled to
decline the Democratic proposal to
) leave all the cases to the supreme court.
as a sort of court OF arbitration, on the
ground that the supreme court would
have no Jurisdiction in some of the con :.
tests. and that jurlsdictios cannot be
conferred on court by consent. He
made u counter proposition suggesting
mandamus proceedings by the Demo-
Gratis In the case OF the two Democrats
claiming the. seats Of the two war sem
ators, Getzcndanncr and Picrson. and
argued that as any Of the eases can be
taken to the court such proceedings
would obviatc the necessity for an
agreement.
Another proposition from Chairman
Dawson, which seems reasonable. II ac-
ccptcd by the Democratic leaders,
might serve to clear up matters and
to settle the contests In the house
on peaceful and logical basis. It is
that Brohard Qtcp.), OF Taylor. Via
(Rcp.). OF Monroe. and Talbot (Dcm.),
Of the Lewis-Webster district, be seated
in the house, and that the remainder OF
the contests. excepting that involving
the seats OF the war senators, be re-
ferrcd to joint commission OF three
Democrats and three Republicans, who
are to select seventh member. 1t
seems that this proposal hus in it the
elements Of fairness, providing II Is pos

which will avert anything like scandal
