"What's the Matter With Business?"

You hear. this question buzhng all about you. 1t seems as il half the
men in New York were asking it OF the other hall. Wherever you 60 you
hear it asked and answered-in Offices. on the street, m the trains, at
restaurant tables-everywhere that business men meet each other.
There are many answers, but they all point in M general direction.
The concensus seems to be that the purchasing power OF all classes has
lately suffered 10 m reduction; that there has been an enforced curmn-
ment Of individual incomes and expenditures.
II this is the cause, the remedy seems obvious. 1t is to make the
reduced incomes 60 as far as possible toward supplying the needs that they
With our W business there is nothing wrong-in fact we have often
noted that the business done by this establishment actually increases in
times Of general depression. II was markedly so during the so-caned
panic OF 1907; it is nohceaby ST now.
We believe ourselves justified in accepting this as public recognition
of the fact that this is a sWreo Of Wise economies; Furthermore, we take il
asproof Of our constant claim that, takingh all around, this store goes further
than any other toward filling the wants Of ALL CLASSES Of people.
Those of the public who in times of plenty patronie the hghniced
stores find it compulsory in times of stress o Al their needs at lower
pnces-and they learn that this car be done by coming here: learning
further (ohen to their suprse) that it involves n o slightest reduction in
the character, quality Or stye-value OF the goods they buy.
To be sure this is a popular" s+ore-and we say il with pride. There
is always strong reason for a popularity that OF only lasts, but steadily
increases. 1t must be founded on character. The crowds that you see
here daily are not here for amusement O idlng. They are here for the
serious purpose Of supplying their daily wants wisely satisfactorily and
economically. And that these crowds never diminish is the best possible
proof that they arc successful in this purpose

YORK WINS IN FIGHT
 FOR COUNTY SCHOOL
Grove Hill Gets Prize-Day Hearing Claims of Sumter and
 Clark

, Montgomery, August 7.-(SpeciaD.- "York wins" was the announcement of H. J. Willhgham, superintendent of edp- cation, at late hour tonight, after the high school commission had been in ses- sion pretty much all of the day in an in the counties of Sumter and Clarke.
 Earlier in the afternoon the Clarke county delegation left the city, reasonably certain of the commissions selection of Grove Hill, in that county, for the high school site, but not until the Sumter county announcement was made did the numerous delegations from that county know how the tide of battle was turning.
 Grove Hills contestant for the honor In Clarke county was the town of Thomasville. which made most flatter- ing offer for the school, but which in the opinion of the majority of the com mission did not quite come up to the mark set by the Grove Hill enthusiasts
 York's contestants were Cuba and Gel ger. each of which places sent large dele gations to the city The York crowd was headed by Prof P. B. Peppers, J. A. Mcconnell and others. The Geiger repre- sentation was led brilliantly by J. H. Pinson, who spread the fame of his city from one end of the capitol to the other. Mayor Leander Poole, of Cuba, headed the delegation for his city. Each of the Sumter county cities offered acreage and $10,0O0 cash, but the Yorkites won out on better location and few more substan- tial claims.

New Orleans, August "A phantom filibuster led the revenue cutter Davy merry chase down the Mississippi river under forced steam yesterday. The movements of the Mexican steam ship Puebla, which sailed from here Sunday morning with the river steam CTS Mariana and Cobida in tow, bound for Progresso, Yucatan, were in terpreted as suspicious by the watchful secret service agents whose duty it Is to offer constant interference to the revolutionists who operate against Ioatin- American republics.
 The Puebla got away early. Sunday morning at an unusual hour and, of course, suspicious. She went in bal last, but her tow was recorded as hav- ing about 200 sacks of corn, another suspicious circumstances to the gov ernment agents.
 The Davey overhauled the Puebla and her tow near the mouth of the river, 90 miles down from New Or leans, and word was received today that they were allowed to proceed to Progresso, while the crew of the Davey went fishing.
 The Puebla is in the Yucatan- New Orleans trade, and the Mariana Escobia has been sold for use in river freight service in Yucatan.

Smith. polling but a light vote, even in wards that were supposed to be strongholds of the faction which opposed the adoption of the new plan.
 The election was without incident of especial note, the result being prac- tically a foregone conclusion in view of the fact that a large majority of the voters of the city were pledged to the support of the candidates se- lected by the straw ballot. A meeting of the city council has been called for Tuesday night to canvass the returns. following the official announcement or the election.
 It is expected there will be little delay in the organization of the con- mission Under the commission govern ment law the commissioners have until August 21. in which to assume the reins of government. The city council board of public works and police com mission go out of business simultane- ously with the election of a presiding officer by the commission.
 One feature of the election which was somewhat amusing was the eager ness with which many city employees climbed into the band wagon many policemen, firemen and other city em- ployes some of whom were bitter in ...t, ttDn Nf Fn1n to the first election, were loud in their declarations in support of the candi- dates of the straw ballot.
 Messrs SchwarZ and Pillans, after receiving the returns, both expressed determina ation to work for the interest of the city to reduce expenses to minimum and to conduct all affairs upon a business basis. It is expected that the "economcal' reference means that whatever Is unnecessary will drop Into the basket as soon as the com mission gets into good working order
