Ladies Washable
Shirt Waists.

We plumed ourselves this
spring upon having the most
extensive line of white and
colored shirt waists we have
ever shown; and that is claim
ing a great deal. The materials,
the colors and the styles were
the newest and most pop
ular; and combined the ad-
ditional merit of price attrac-
tiveness.
Some of these styles have been en-
tirely closed out. Others have
been sold, except few irregu-
lar sizes. We expect to close
out every one before we receive
thread of our fall goods. And
this is the way we 60 about it I:
All Of our SOC grades of white lawn,
percale, dimity and colored
lawn waists have been reduced
to 25c.
All of our IS, IS and 90c white and
colored waists are now Soc.
Every one Of those $1.OO and 81 .25
waists that were considered
marvels Of beauty at those
prices, now march out to the
tune of 75c.
This price reduction is continued
throughout the entireshirt waist
stock. There remains but nine
of those $3.50 white waists and
they answer to the call of $1.75.
The applique and embroidery
in each waist is alone worth
more. II you've got place for
any of these goods, take good
advice and I'll it now.

A VIRGINIA INCIDENT.

"The Washington Post" perhaps
the dirtiest paper in American journal
ism, with an editor from Louisiana who
ought to so hack there and live with
the alligators and eat stumps in the
winter as provendo, agrees with the
vile, strong, vicious and malicious view
Of the Negro question presented by
Thomas Nelson Page in the New York
Journal-Thomas Nelson Page who
never made forty dollars on his books
out of the Southern readers, who are
not Intelligent and who never think
beyond their necks.
1t is natural for the Post TO take
this position because the editor of the
Post is ust about as low in the mud as
it is possible to get. The editor of a
great newspaper, great because of its
locality and because $4,000 Negroes
Ignorant as to their own rights and in
telligent as to everything else help to
support the vile thing. Now it is in
conceivable to us how the Post which
derives such a large revenue from the
support of the $4,000 black men
of the District of Columbia can be
SO unscrupulous,y malicious and ma
lignant and strong in discussing the
race question. As for Thomas Nelson
Page, if he had to depend upon the
revenues of his writings from the South
he would starve to death and rot In
rags. Say, but isn't it interesting, the
uEerring craftsmanship of Herbert
Marx, the New York lawyer, who was
scared to death by his own statement
in his homestead In Westmoreland
Coun y, Va, when five of the ''best"
citizens came to chast Sc him for an al
legged affront. Yes, Marx was scared
to death but every time he shot he
brought down one of those 'b7st' citi-
zens. And the funny thing about it is,
they didn't lynch him. We shO' dc
wish there would be other Northern
men living in the South who would be
chevaliers in the way Marx did the
b 'ethren.

McLAURIRlSM.

The Democratic party of South
Carolina has been very much disturb
ed by the cordial relations which sub
sisted between Senator John Lownes
McLaurin and the late President Nc :
Kinley. They had made two demands
that he resign his position as a Senator
in Congress for South Carolina and in
each instance he refused to do it and
rsafirmed his devotion to democratic
principles and the democratic party.
In his North American Review article
In November, he was at great pains to
express the sort of democracy which he
entertains The sort OfdemOcracy which
Le entertains co prehends in no wise
any recognition whatever of the social
or political or other character of the
vast Afro-American population of
South Carolina, or other parts of the
country. From our point of view, based
entirely upon his statement of his po-
sition. We have no choice at all between
John Lownes McLaurin and Ben Till
man. We care nothing for his position
under the commercial pect of the sub
ject, nor any other aspect of the sab
jeot What We are concerned in is
If he is going to be the boss of repub-
s;ican politics In South Carolina he
shall follow the general principles of
the republican party as they have been
outlined in the republican platform
from 1912 to the present time. IF he
cannot do that we necessarily repudiate
him. He is either republican, or a dem
ocrat. In his North American Review
article ard in his statement to the
Senate yesterday he affirmed that he
il q democrat adhered to the demo-
cratic party. All right. We are glad
60 have the affirmation. Then let him
.shinney" on the democratic side.
There is no place in the republican
party for the McLaurin democrat or
any other kind of democrat; the re
publican party is made up of people

How can the responsible leaders OF

thing of giving to the democratic Sen.
ator in Congress, who avows and re.
affirms he is democrat, the control OF
the federal patronage, and therefore Of
the republican party in the great state
of the Republic! We cannot under.
stand it and we don't believe that Pres
ident Roosevelt, who is not swayed by
the same idea5 nor controlled by the
same passion as President Mckinley
will lend himself to any such extrane-
Gus party policy as Is represented in
John LOwnes McLaurin, a democratic
Senator in Congress controlling repub
lican politics in South Carolina. Presi.
dent Roosevelt is a republican. b.
saying this we do not mean to say that
President Mckinley was not a repub
lican, but we do say as far as the South
was concerned, he was republican witt
string to him; being proper, Presi
dent Mckinley was not stuck on tht
Afro American citizen. He thought &
great deal of the Southern Brigadiel
and gave more of them prominence il
the public service in war and in peact
than they have ever had before. Wha
return have they given? When {

President exercised bis judgment, anC
