A Guarantee.

That every shoe handled under
our brands is equal, if not superior,
to any shoes sold at the same price
anywhere in the United States.
Thefollowing qualities guarantee
the brands we sell:
Generally snappy and up-to-date
styles, modelled after the prevailing
modes adopted for the season.
Full leather shoes, made by the
most experienced shoe workers In
the world.
The feathers, Innings, vamps,

part Of the shoes, whether exposed
or MOTIFS guaranteed to be equal
to or better than other lines of
shoes sold at the same prices.
There is absolutely no short cuts
taken in the manufacture of these
shoes. Every single unit Of every
shoe shows the highest integrity Of
the shoe builder.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1907-04-27
A Statement.

The shoes covered by the brands
herein detailed have been and are
still being handled by the most sue
cessful merchants in the South.
They have proven factors in build
ing and holding a strong line Of
business, and testimonials as to the
worthof our footwear have reached
us from SO many points in nearly
every Southern State that we feel
justified in submitting in good faith
the statement that our shoes are
winning their way into general
favor at more rapid rate than
those Of any other similar line.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1907-04-27
The Result

is a line Of shoes that
for durable qualities has few equals,
and this, together with the iimpor-
tant points Of style and thoroughly
winning appearance, absolutely
guarantees sales wherever shoes
are worn.

him through his speech, with the excep-

Is this immunity enjoyed as a ConSid-

in the choice of the present mayor and
Council, two of whom have since re
signed and been replaced by their sue

If there be an issue i'll this contention
over the chief of police, ii must be clas
sitied distinctly into the class which

the class who do not favor the enforce
ment of the laws
In such an issue, if presented squarely,
there can be no doubt as to the result.
The law must and will triumph over

We repeat, the only question is: Is
Chief Chellette guilty?
This answer must be given by a ma
jority Of the City Council.

He says the saving of the cotton crop

the use Of Paris green shows up better
now than it did one month ago, when
he left home, because i'll the cotton not
poisoned there are very many punctured

Besides, the people, even the niggers,

Of plain facts.
Has Chief Chellette failed in the dis

1t is in evidence that he has been neg

There has also been exhibited much

or an interest responsible for the cleo

be relegated to the people, as referen-
dunn.
This is not case for a referendum.
The issue is simply: Is Chellette guilty
or not guilty?
Indeed, there has been accorded too
much latitude in this case, and much
more is promised by the attorneys for the
