BULLOCK'S OPENING
WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND sUC-
 CESSFUL.

An unusual Opening" was that held by Bullocks Shoe Store--"The Quality Shoe and Stocking Shop''--last Monday and Tuesday. The store was beauti- fully and elaborately decorated, a num- Der of handsome electroliers adding an unusually artistic finish to the gen. eral scene. Real punches of grapes were used in producing the arb or effect over the entrance to the juvenile de- partment.
 The crowds that thronged the store for the two entire days was most grati- flying and fiattering to the manage ment. The vast numbers of children who fiocked in to see the new juvenile department were particularly notice- able, and after the second days rush was over. weary clerks agreed that they had no idea there were so many children in Montgomery County as had visited Bullock's during those two days.
 The lines of footwear on display, showing the styles, feathers and lasts to be worn this season. were of marked beauty and grace. The sizes and styles are so comprehensive that apparently they have the shoe--and stocking suitable to any age or taste from the cradle to the grave"
 Their hosiery department, for men, women and children, seems to have struck a popular chord, as all were greatly interested and many pur- chased.
 Since last season this beautiful store has been greatly improved by new fur niture, fixtures and the addition of the charming juvenile department in the rear. It is the delight of every child and the relief of every mother who visits it.-adv.

POLICEMAN ARRESTED
 ON ASSAULT CHARGE

J. F. Hammond. a police officer, and W. H. Clanton, a merchant, were ar. rested yesterday morning by Officer R s. Cloud, for fighting. The fisticuffs occurred in Clanton's store, on the cor~ ner of Holt and Robinson Streets.
 Hammond stated yesterday that he struck Clanton because of words which he said passed between the mer- chant and Mrs. Hammond as the latter settled her account at the, end of the month.
 Cloud, the other policeman in the affair. declared that he knew nothing of the impending fight when he accom- panied Hammond to the store. He says that he went with Hammond at the latter's request though in ignorance of the trouble.
 Clanton denied to Hammond, before the officer struck him, that he had spoken untowardly to Mrs. Hammond. The merchant preferred charges against the two policemen, which will be heard before the Police Commission Friday.

Debates, Privately Arranged, Distsste- full to Executive Committees of Both Sides of the
 Fight.

There will be no Weakley-O'Neal debate in Montgomery Thursday night. as was scheduled. Discountenancedl by the campaign management of both parties, the debatees were more of the nature of private arrangements.
 It is believed that pressure brought to bear on the zealous debaters by the respective Campaign and Executive Committees, had it's influence in the relinquishment of the appointments to speak in Montgomery, Birmingham and Mobile.
