BROKE AL RECORDS.
Orders Received Yesterday by Grad.
dock Terry Co. UnequaIed.

Orders received by Craddock- Terry
Com pany yesterday not only break all
records which they had formerly made
but yesterdays sales break all records
for the South in this line. These en-
terprising Lynchburg manufacturers
received orders which amount to more
than $50, 900, Or enough shoes to make
a train Of thirty cars, every car filled
to the limit. This means a total of
$1,000 pairs of shoes sold in one day,
which would figure out more than
10000 pairs an hour, and something
over $50 pairs minute. If this aver
age could be kept up for the year it
would mean business OF IS million
dollars, and the sale of 25 million pairs
of shoes, or more shoes than q pair for
every man, woman and child in the
Southern States.
This wonderful showing establishes
beyond doubt Lynchburg's suprem-
acy as a shoe market; in fact, it marks
a new era in progress Of the shoe in
dustry in the South. This One days
business shows the possibilities Of this
industry, and Craddock-Terry Com
pany will have to pay out nearly s4o,-
900 in wages and in salaries for the
making, billing, shipping, etc., of the
shoes sold in this one day. it will be
realized what this means to Lynch
burg.
In addition to the amount which
they will have to pay out for wages
in Lynchburg, 5000 shipping cases
made in Lynchburg of Southern lum-
Der will be utilized in packing these
shoes, $1,000 paper boxes made in
Lynchburg will be needed, and as a
good deal of the leather used in the
construction of these shoes is tanned
in the South, the rapid growth of this
industry means a great deal to the
entire South.-Lynchburg, (Va.,) Ad-
vance, April 4.

USING IMPORTED MEAT
Solution Of High Cost Of Living
Puzzle Discovered.
CATTLE FROM AUSTRALIA
New York Dealers Have Banded Together TO
Fight Meat Trust---Price OF Meat
and Potatoes Drops.

New York City.-As the price OF
meat started downward meat dealers
and importers announced that they
have discovered the solution to the
high cost of living puzzle. They IN
tend importing meat in great guam
titles from Australia and Argentine
Republic just as England does. Ihen'
instead of being compelled to buy So
called meat trust products, paying
trust prices, the dealers get meat,
which they claim is of the same quail
ity. at from to 6 cents per pound
cheaper.
The meat trust made it's first hostile
movement to check the ipclplent I'M
portation of beef, mutton ana pork,
when plans were made to ask tne
government to stop the influx OF 1or-
eign meat on the ground that 1t was
not properly inspected.
At least a score of meat dealers In
| Brooklyn who nave taken advantage
| of the Australian beef started to un'
| dersell the houses relying on the
beef trust. The beef trust gets its
| meat from western and Mexican cat
tie. while, if Australian importations
grow, this meat will probably be
landed upon the Pacific coast ano
sent east by rail. While England re
lies very largely upon Australia an
| Argentina for it's meat, the distance
to the United States is much less
than it is to England.
II was announced that aside iron

There is no use staying up to see

repetition of how the comet looks

DEMOCRATS WIN AGAIN.
Thirty-second New York District
Sends Democrat to Congress.

Rochester, N. Whore than 5000
voters of Monroe county changed
from the republican column to the
democratic and elected the first dem
ocratic congressman that has repre-
scented the thirty-second district in
20 years. James S. Ravens, a demo-
crat, running on a tariff reform plat
form, defeated George w. Aldridge,
for a score of years the ruler OF the
county republican organization, by 81
900 votes.
Monroe county, which comprises
the thirty-second congressional dis
trict, is normally republican by about
5000.
The result of the election takes
it's place by the side of the demo
cratic victory in the fourth Massa-
chusetts district, where Eugene N
Foss was sent to congress from a dis,
trict supposed to be as rock-ribbed re-
publican as this one.
Mr.. Ravens rode to victory on d
platform advocating tariff reform IN
the interests of the consumer, re
vision of the duties on wool and
wooden goods, a removal OF the tax
| on hides and lumber, removal OF the
| tariff on iron ore, an income tax anC
finally advocating independence OF al
political bodies Of any party.
Mr.. Aldridge, his opponent, con
tented himself with a general procla
nation in favor of the policies OF the
republican administration. On thu
tariff proposition he was regarded al
"stand-patter."
Both candidates declared for reel
procity with Canada, an employees
