A STORE TEEMlN6 WITH
ARTISTIC MILLINERY,
A Marvellous Display of the Smart-
EST Designs at Fountains.

Some-how-or-nother, Greenwood has
that get-ahead spirit, and always FORCES
to the leadership in many lines. In the
phase Of millinery, Greenwood's mil
linery department far surpasses any Of
those to be found in the Delta. And
department at Fountains Big Busy
Store.
In this department you find a sur
passing degree of talent, who, in Amer
icanizing tho more extreme Partisan
creations, reproduce the especially dis
tinctive features of the original models
SO ~ to add very perceptibly to their
charming individuality. Miss Eulilia
Chance, a milliner of exceptional ability,
with her exuberant wealth of artistic
French millinery ideas, has charge of
the department.
This Big Stores Millinery has a
charm about it that appeals to the low
ers of odd features. Every creation
shows the possibilities OF the clever
hand Of the milliner, the eye of the ar
fist, which are the inspiration of the
graceful designs that Ire SO popular
this season. Exclusive creations that
nave that inimitable style effect which
all smart dressers instantly recognize
as the master touch that separates the
ultra-fashionable from the common
place make this store headquarters for
correct followers of fashion who adj
mire the quality kind that can always
be found at Fountains Big Busy Store.
The efforts Of Mr.. Fountain to give
Greenwood a millinery department to
which there is style, originality, ar
tistic ability and reasonable prices,
should be appreciated by everyone in
the city, and it Is their duty to make
this big store a visit while the mill
linery fever waxes warm.

PRES. TAFT APPOINTS
". C. PEEL POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Peel IS Promoted from Deputy
ship He Has Served so Long.

News was brought to this city Tues
day of the appointment of Mr.. W. G
Peel as postmaster for Greenwood, to
succeed Mrs. Alice Mclean who has
served in that capacity for quite a
number of years.
Mr.. Peel has been assistant postmas-
ter for a number Of terms, and is thor
oughly familiar with this Office. His
connection with the office during Mrs.
McLean's incnmbency has always been
satisfactory, and his faithfulness anf
industry must have caused the author
ity to promote him.
Mr.. Peel is one of our most promi-
nent citizens, and is connected with
the Lefore Building & Loan Associa-
ton. His many friends congratulate
him upon the promotion which we all
think he has deserved.
Mrs. Alice Mclean, however, has
faithfully served three terms as post
mistress for Greenwood, and her adj
ministratioa has always been a sue
cessful one; and while we cannot help
but congratulate Mr.. Peel on his good
fortune, Mrs. Mclean has been SO faith
full that there was little or no opposi-
ton to her reappointment, and her
many friends hate to see her leave the
Office.

Of Pittsburg who want the suffrage are
taking long chances in proclaiming the
mock voting they are TO do tomorrow
as a demonstration of how the fran
chise should be exercised. Judging
from previous feminine experiences
with the ballot in the conduct of their
own organizations, the women of this
country are not as rule to be relied
upon for model performances. Some of
their big societies. indeed, have ac-
CURED wide notoriety for bear pit"
demonstrations.
1t will be deplorable il the women
of Pittsburg who take part in this
mock election regard it so seriously as
to go through the entire list of motions
and challenge the result. A really
model election is one in which the
fairness of every process is self-evi-
dent, the verdict being accepted with
out demur or criticism. If the Pitts
burg women cannot be sure of showing
implicit faith in the verdict rendered
at their own polls tomorrow they
would better abandon this enterprise
and practice voting in private until
they have mastered the art of election
management.
The cause of woman suffrage is not
likely to be advanced materially by
such demonstration. There is seri-
ously no question in the minds of men
as to the ability of the women of this
country to mark ballot and to drop
1T in the box. Probably the average
woman sufficiently interested in. the
questions of the day to go to the polls
to vote would, if. enfranchised. vote
more intelligently than many thousands
OF the men who are now exercising the
highest right of, citizenship. In time
probably public opinion will have been
sufficiently educated to lead to the ex-
tension of the suffrage to women in the
United States. But the Pittsburg "elec-
ton" will not advance that day to any
appreciable extent. II the suffrage is
thus extended it will not be through
any proof Of what the women can do.
but through the recognition of a right
to which they are entitled regardless
of their degree of familiarity with the
machinery Of vote casting.

Exes and Entertainers.

II Is announced that Gov. Patterson
Of Tennessee upon retiring from Office will
join the noble army Of entertainers. He
will go lecturing. A brilliant man, who
in politics has held his own on the stump
with the ablest men in his state, he
should find 1t easy to adjust his talents
to the lecture platform, as Mr.. Bryan and
others have done. He probably knows
other subjects as well as politics: and the
public these days is curious, and willing
to be instructed. about many things.
But the governor will be an ex, and in
. few months excs will be numerous.
Many men who have been prominent in
office are going out A governor here.
A United States senator there. A mem
Der Of the House yonder. Some of them
are capital speakers, and will want to
continue to eat their bread in the sweat
Of their tongues. Those who were bred
to the bar have been out of harness so
long the practice Of their profession will
not allure them. Lecturing is easier and
when successful more profitable
This makes 1t likely that the market
Will be glutted. There will be a host
of offerings. Managers will be able to
make their own terms. Prices will be
forced down. A seasons earnings. even
Tor topliners, will not swell a wallet to
bursting.
The stars of the next season will be
the men who have come in. or are COM
ing in. and not those who have gone
cut. "How soon We are forgot when we
are gone" sighed poor old Rip. Yea, and
especially in politics. The everyday world
likes. and turns to, the live man, and one
with the power to serve 1t. 1t rallies to
the man with favors In his kit. 1t listens
with most pleasure to him, and pays its
good money to sit at his feet.
In this, as in other things, Mr.. Bryan
10 an exception. His popularity, both on
the stump and the lecture platform keeps
up. Crowds are still his to command, and
al an entertainer he still names his own
terms. And this at the end of fourteen
years OF continuous. adversely, with no
favors Of any kind to bestow.
But We are to remember that during
the whole OF that period Mr. Bryan has
appeared as a possible winner in his
chase for office, and three times has
been his party's candidate for President
In that way he has kept his hold on atten.
ton. and shared literally in gate receipts
Had he dropped out of the political calcu-
lation after November, 1896, HIS drawing
power as lecturer. Notwithstanding his
graces and fiuency. would not alone have
been sufficient to fill his market basket.

Motoring.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.

from the columbus Ohi0 state journal.
Motoring a trolley car is an art, for
nearly all people are sometime, and
many every day, brought within it's in
fiuence. This art, when happily expressed,
starts and stops a car quietly. and in
creases or diminishes the speed without
a jolt. This art, like all truly expressed.
brings pleasure to all who come within
its influence. There is a joy in the quiet
starting OF a car. in the bissful expe-
rience Of not knowing when the inertia
ceases and the momentum begins. The
art consists in the graceful joining OF
these two situations. This cannot always
be achieved. 1t takes three things to ac-
complish thfs-a gentle hand, a kindly
heart and an intelligent mind. This
beautiful combination is not easily found.
We have sometimes seen ii. and II
seemed like pushing a shallop from shore
and floating down the stream. But many
have not-many whose awkwardness
seems more like rudeness, and who jolt
you along the track like an oXcart pulled
over q corduroy. We have seen human
ity, the better half of it especially.
thrown into contOrtions by the neglect
Of this delightful art.

Candidates and the Tariff.

The American Free Trade League has
been trying to get a line on future
tariff revision. From its Boston head
quarters it has interrogated candidates
for the next House as to how the Payne
law should be changed.
The league is not much the wiser for
its pains. There are over eight hundred
men throughout the country seeking con-
gressional hOnors. and 50 far only eighty
six replies have been received to the
leagues circular letter. And even those
are indefinite. A few candidates declare
simply for lower tariff. A larger num-
Der, all democrats. declare for a tariff
for revenue only. Four democrats-cour-
ageous fellows-are free traders, and
frankly say so.
The silence Of SO many of the men in
terrogated may be accounted for in one
or the other of two ways: In the first
place, candidates now on the stump talk
ing tariff are obeying campaign rules
and indulging largely in generalit.es
Those opposed to the Payne law rarely
go beyond the broad statement that it
fosters trusts and is responsible for the
high cost Of living They advocate lower
duties, and see relief only through them.
But they offer no bill embodying the de-
tails Of their contentious.
In the second place, no bill, Of such a
character could be offered at this time.
The details of future tariff revision are
for the future to. determine. A man may
be most sincere in his opposition to the
Payne law, and yet unable today to say
how far he would be willing to GO as 2
legislator twelve or sixteen months hence
in a legislative effort to write a new law
Something win depend on the political
situation, for nothing Is more certain
than that the tariff will be an issue in
the next presidential campaign, and will
be handled gingerly by party managers
on both sides.
If, as now seems likely, the next House
is democratic and the Senate republican
the tariff fight in Congress will be a
demonstration for effect in the campaign.
The House bill will not be such a bill
as would have been passed by that body
had the Senate stood ready to approve It.
AS the measure will be certain of rejec-
ton by the Senate, or of death by neglect,
1t can be made the stronger for campaign
purposes. Such thing happened in 1883,
when the House passed the Mills bill,
which died in the Senate. Had there been
a chance for the enactment of that meas
ure into law it would have taken a some
what different shape In the House.
The league chose an unpropitious time
for its purpose. 1t will have to try, try
again. g..

The mayor of Baltimore has pleaded
for recount of the. Monumental City's
population on the novel ground that he
has evidence that at least 5000 people
we're absent from the city on summer

Campaign Estimates.

Thirty odd years ago Buckeye demo-
crat. upon being consulted by a subordi-
nate, put into a single sentence all the
duty of a campaign manager as respects
encouragement at the last moment. John
@. Thompson, a man OF wit and ability
was the chairman of the state committee,
and received from a county chairman a
message something hike this: "Am asked
for an estimate of the situation here
Things are not looking well for us. What
shan dor To this Mr.. Thompson re-
piled: Claim everything, and claim ii
exultingly.''
= Thus spoke master to a novice. Mr..
thompson knew the great value of con-
,ndence and hullabaloo in politics A
county, or state or national chairman
may be racked with apprehension, may
even feel that the game is lost, but to the
public he must present a buoya9t front.
Both by word and deed he must appear to
De advancing to. victory Never mind how
the printed estimates may look the morn
ing after. Put out only big figures the
day before for possible effect on waverers,
and take chances. "Claim everything,
and claim it exultingly"
The Thompsonian adjuration is now in
action. Campaign managers, big and lit
Tie, are talking In the terms of winners.
For publication, not one of them doubts
the result. The republicans are sure,
while the democrats scout the bare sug-
gestion of defeat. In New York the op-
posing state chairmen are only a quarter
or million votes apart, in Ohio only
about eighty thousand, in New Jersey
only about forty, and SO on. The chair
men of the congressional committees diff
fer to the extent Of about hundred seats
In the next House.
But what would you? Voters must have
encouragement, and they look to the lead
ers for 1t. 1t Is the age of interviews and
estimates. Publicity is the thing. At
breakfast, at lunch. at dinner. the head of

paper. AS election day approaches he
must have the latest from the seat of war
What says his chairman? What says the
other chairman? Should his chairman
remain silent and the other be vocal he

tivity slacken- But if his chairman speaks
up In words Of confidence and comfort he
continues hopeful and busy to the end

for explaining claims. Today the claims,
tomorrow the explanations. What chair
man worthy Of his office ever reduces his
prediction figures through fear of what
the wits or the winners may say after the
figures have been knocked by fate into a
cooked hat?
