Dodd 81 Co.'S. New Goods

One great secret of success in
merchandising, they tell us, is to
know how to buy goods. This, of
course, includes what to buy. A
poorly selected stock, however costly
or however cheap, means disaster to
the merchant. Messrs. Dodd & Co.
have learned the impor ant secret
of how and what to buy. This is
clearly evident, Judging from the
new goods which they have Just
opened up-we mean particularly
their new stock Of Queensware and
rinware. heir shelves and coun'
ters are fairly groaning under the
weight of beautifully colored and
sparkling wares. TIE best of 1t is
that their queensware is imported,
and it is we'll known that imported
ware of this kind is far superior to
American ware. Their fine French
hand painted dinner, breakfast and
tea sets, game sets, after dipner
coffee sets, cabarets. etc., are things
of beauty, and of all sizes, and the
atest styles Of shape and decoration
at prices ranging from $1,000 to
S75. and others of course much
cheaper. Their stock of tin and
agate were is equally complete.
Think of nice tin bucket for 5cents,
sprinkler for 10c, a good coffee
pot for sc, fine block tin % gallon
bucket for 25c and other things in
proportion. But we cannot enum-
crate. These goods must be seen
to be appreciated. The firm wish il
distinctly understood that they are
here to stay-that their goods were
bought to sell, and marked at prices
sure to make them go, Their motto
is "not quantity but quality" moi
show much but how good,' for your
money. When you come to towr
on court day you are invited to call
i'll and inspect this stock. Theil
grocery stock also will be kept ur
to The same high standard in th,
future as in the past.

TO STAY AWAY
Martin Men Will Not At
tend the Convention.
No Friend of the Senator S
\Was Invited to Attend the
Conference-Their Position
Plainly Stated.

The May convention is going to
be big affair. There is no ques-
tion about the fact that the atten
dance will be very. large and that
nearly every county and city in the
State will be represented. With
few exceptions, the newspapers en-
dorse the movement.
There has come in the last fow
days change of feeling among some
of Mr.. Martins friends regarding
the convention. Many of his sup
porters are very earnest /. dvocates
OF change in the method Of choos-
ing Senator's and they intended to
come to this meeting Now, they
are inclined to stay away.
The reason for it can be best told
in the language oEa very warm sup
porter of MIR. Marsin. He said to a
to Times reporter:
II AOt Oue, idNOT tHlS mOVem6It
and made up my mind to attend the
convention and advised some friends
70 follow my example. But, 1 have
since learned that there was con
ference in Washington to discuss
this movement. Not supporter of
the Senators was asked to be pres
ent. All invited were his avowed
opponents. Now, it seems to me
that if this fight were one for meas
ures aud not for men it could haye
been easily settled. The leading
Martin men who favor the change of
method-some one like Gt orge B.
Keezell for instance and men known
to be opposed to Martin might have
conferred and fixed up a plan. But
the Martin people were ignored. The
signers of the call, with possibly two
or three exceptions, are anti. Martin
men. have, therefore, decided to
stay away, because it is a movement
that is manifestly intended to injure
the Junior Senator. l do not object
to another candidate, but don't like
the method adopted to bring him
