AFTER THREE MONTHS
IMPORTED MATT|AGS
ARRIVE IN COLUMBIA
BROS. G. FOSTER IN
RECEIPT OF GOODS BOUGHT
WEAR AGO.
FREIGHTS and DUTIES PREPAID
Some of the Newest Things in Ol;en-
tai Patterns, Designs and Fibres
in Rugs and Blinds-AIl Come
From Japan and China.

One of the most attractive sights
| in Columbia is the car load of mat
tings, consisting of 511 pieces, which
has just been received by Anderson
Bros. 6 Foster from Kobe, Japan
and Canton, China.
These goods were shipped to a
combination-three or four buyers
together-via. Seattle, Wash, the du-
ty, freight and all charges being pre-
paid to that point, and from there on
TO Owensboio, KY, where the bills
of the different firms are separated
and reshipped to the respective pur-
chasers.
The order for these goods was
given to the New York agents of
the firms on the 22nd day of Fcbru-
AIRY, 1911, when Mr.. Anderson was
in that city making his spring pur-
cnases, and the shipment was made
on Dec. 6, 1911, and landed In Co
lumbia just three months and three
days later.
BY the combination purchase, and
the shipping to what merchants term
a common point, the freights are
greatly reduced and thus the goods
are put on the market at minimum.
A common point referred to fere
means a point where there is both
river and rail transportation.
In addition to the Oriental and
lowered patterns, and the plain
white in the mating, there is an
abundance of bamboo blinds, and
rugs of various quality and designs.
There is something new in the
mattings in what the shippers term
ChitosequeL, and the mattings also
have a new thing called Yatokaori.
The duty and freights on this ship
ment amounted to about SO per cent
Of The entire bill.

COLONIALS TO BE
MUCH in VOGUE
INTERESTING REVIEW STYLES
IN WCMEN'S SHOES FOR
SPRING BY WIN. EVANS.

Eyes, the season has it's distinct
styles in Women's footwear just as
it has in her headwear and her dress
es. The styles constantly change
ana on the whole they change for
the better. For example the low
heel or commonsense shoes are more
in demand every year. Except for
evening wear and ultra occasions
comparatively few of the extreme
heels are demanded now" Thus
spoke William Evans, the veteran
aead of the shoe firm of Evans, Par
ker & Moore, this morning when
with parGonable pride he displayed
the newest creations in women's
footwear to representative of The
Herald.
There will be for example," con-
tinued Mr.. Evans, "three distinct
feathers worI. by women this season.
For dress occasions she will wear
the patent colonial slippers and
pumps. The colonial is the very lat
est creation for women and will /
believe enjoy season of great pop
ularity. The demand for them win
be large.
"For street wear the tans and gun
metals and the white canvas slip
pers and pumps will be the vogue
this summer. The ever popular sat
ms and velvets in the higher heels
will be worn for evening occasions.
You will see that the well dressed
woman. In order to be ready for all
occasions must have three pairs Of
shoes in her wardrobe the coming
season.
While the colonial styles are the
and are destined to be decid-
eddy the most popular our shoes are
so arranged that the colonial bow
and buckles can be easily removed
and the wide fiat bows put on in
their place. For street wear the
buckskins in white with metal buck
les are most attractive. In tans we
are showing both the high and low
heels and the pump effects In colo
malls. The gun metals have a decid-
edly low heel, making them most de-
sirable for walking. The velvets
and satins have the new buckles and
straps that give them a decidedly ar.
tistic appearance"

in lawabiding county should moi
have his ballot cancelled and destroy
ed by the dishonest ballot stuffed
into a ballot box by perjured tlec'
ton official ia another county.
We favor the bona fide representa-
zion of both political parties in the
holding OF elections, which is sccur-
cd to the people by the present law.
Express Companies.
In order that our people may Sc
cure fair and just rates, we favor the
enactment OF a law placing the ex-
press companies under the supervis-
ion of the state railroad commission.
Public Roads.
We approve the enlarged and pro-
siessive movement that has been in
augurated during the present admin
istration for the improvement of the
public highways We advocate the
revision of the present road laws and
the adoption of the modern laws and
methods of road building that have
met the approval Of experience In
some of the more progressive states.
rhe creation Of state highway de-
partment or bureau and the enact
ment of state and county aid to high
way improvement are measures wor-
thy of consideration.
Pensions.
We reiterate our former platform
declaring in favor of just and liberal
pensions to federal soldiers and state
pensions to Confederate soldiers,
and we endorse the existing method
Of selecting the state pension board
by the bivouacs, so that the board
may be kept free from partisan infiu.
enoe
The fact that every republican
member Of the last legislature voted
for bill carrying an increase Of
$4,000 for Confederate pensions il
signal evidence Of the passing away
of every vestige Of the political preju-
dice and passion incident to the war
between the states.
We condemn the action of the
comptroller in sending out his per-
sonal campaign literature along with
the checks for Confederate pensions.
This is an imposition on the tate
treasury, a misuse of public funds
for a private purpose and prostitu-
ton of the pension system to politi-
Cal ends.
Education.
Tennesseans are not satisfied with
orr present educational status.
While our school system has made
great progress in the last ten years,
our state still ranks badly in the
scale of illiteracy. The appropria-
tion for public education should be
increased as rapidly as is consistent
with the other necessary expenses
of the state, to the end. that the term
OF the country schools may be length
ened, better paid teachers employed
and better equipped school buildings
erected.
The university and normal schools
should likewise receive generous sup.
port.
If Tennessee is to have that mate
rial progress and moral advancement
to which she is entitled she must
furnish to hcT boys and girls ample
opportunity for the requirement of
those qualifications so essential to
efficiency Having furnished these
facilities the state should see that
no helpless child is deprived of them
by the negligence of parents or greed

BRIDGE CASE IS FILED.
Mitchell County Sues Company for
$4,000 Overcharges.

An important case involving inter
esting legal terms and unusual ground
for complaint has been filed in the
United States district court Eight
cases entitled Board of Commission
ers of Mitchell County VS.. Midland
Bridge Company were laid before
Morton Albaugh on petition for re-
rnoval from the state court in Mitchell
county.
THESE eight cases involve about
SIS, 900 worth of bridge work done by
the Midland Bridge company for
Mitchell county; the commissioners
paid the amount but are now suing
the company in order to recover what
they claim was an overcharge, and ill
all cases ask judgment aggregating
over $40. 900.
The county claims that the bridge
company made overcharges in meas
urement, in material and particularly
IN cement and construction work in
volving probably fifty different bridges
The petition for removal is based
upon the claim Of the bridge company
that the suits involved are simply a
part of one running account, and that
this number of suits was brought il
order to prevent removal to the federal
court. They also contend that, as the
total claim in all the suits exceeds
$4,000 the federal court, rather imam
the state court, should have jurisdlc-
ton in the matter. Added to this, the
plaintiffs are non-residents and natur-
ally feel that sympathy in Mitchell
county would De entirely against them
This division of the suit into eight
cases is a peculiar situation that will
be carefully investigated by Judge
Pollock.

The wedding of Miss Ruby Byers,
the daughter of Mr.. w. A. Byers, of
Horton, and Mr.. George Badders, was
celebrated this afternoon, by Rev.
Ralph Ward, of the Westminster Pres
byterian church. The service was
quietly solemnized at the home of the
brides uncle, Mr.. A. H. Byers of Hor-
ton, and the only guests were Mr..
BadderS parents, Mr.. and Mrs. D.
Badders and Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Bad
ders After the wedding the young
couple went for a bridal trip to Colo
RADIO, and after their return they will
occupy Mr.. Badders new house Ia
College HILL
The enga cement of Miss Byers and
Mr.. Badders was made this summer,
but the date of the wedding was not
published, so the announcement of the
wedding is something of surprise.
The affair is an interesting one for the
reason that both Mr.. and Mrs. Bad
ders have a large circle of friends in
Topeka. Mrs. BadderS is well &C.
quainted in the Washburn set; for she
was a student at the college and a
popular member of the Sigma Delta
Psi sorority. Mr.. Bidders graduated
from Washburn in 1906, and after
wards took the law course. He prac-
ticed law in Topeka and later in Den
yer. Returning to Topeka, he was
chosen secretary of the Commercial
club, and is now in business, being one
of the proprietors of the Badders
Clothing company.
