Goods OF
Quality

GOODS of Quality are the only
kind worth while. That's the kind
we sell. When you buy cheap
goods you are taking chances. The
only reason some goods are cheap
is because they are not worth
much :. :. -
WE sell nothing that we cannot
guarantee in every respect. We
rely upon h e satisfaction our
goods give our customes to keep
all our old customers and get some
new ones also. :. :. -
WE buy our goods from those man
ufacturers whose products have
won a reputation purely on their
merits. When you buy here you
take no chances yThe goods are
guaranteed both b the manufac-
turer and by us to be worth the
price paid. :. :. :,

Guessing The Ticket

One hundred and fifty-fve guess
es were received by the Record on
the nominees Of the democratic pri-
marieS held on the 9th of March.
Out of all this number only two
persons were able to pick the nine
winners in the county as called for
by the paper. T. J. Stephens, who
lives two or three miles west of
town, made a correct guess on
March 2, while Dick Fortune of
Cave City made another on March
13. Mr.. Stephens made the first
correct guess aud he gets the free
subscription as provided by the
rules when the contest was started,
Below is given the names of those
who made guesses, their postoflice
addresses, the number of their
guess and the number of candi-
dates they missed.
In the face of these figures no
doubt when the next campaign rolls
around both Mr.. Stephens and Mr..
Fortune will be literally "swamped"
by aspiring politicians who will
want their opinions of the outcome
of their races.

TEMPORARY PACT
WITH RUSSIA
tcontinued from Page 1,

after the lapse of the existing treaty,
December 81. these maximum rates
would automatically apply to imports
from q country with which Russia has
no trade treaty. But 1t is suggested
that through a decree or an imperial
order In council this may be postpon-
ed indefinitely. Such action on the
part OF the Russian government would
relieve President Taft from the neces-
sity OF imposing in retaliation the
maximum American duties on imports
from Russia. and thus trade between
the wv countries might continue
pending h issue of future negotia-
lions for q permanent treaty, which,
perhaps. might deal with the passport
question on another basis,
1t Is pointed out that this conclusion
might be reached without action on
the part of the United States govern
ment. and without recourse to con-
gress.
The Russian view 10 said to be that
II such a result is obtained It will be

EARLY ESTIMATES
WERE TWO LOW
Crop Production Far Greater
than Expected-Foreign
Affairs Affect Stock.

New York. Nov. 1s.-wall Streets
anatrs last week may be said to have
been in balance as a result OF the
counterbearing Of two of its most i'm
portaht recent influences. On the one
hand. direct encouragement has been
derived from the political situation in
Europe that has been under severe
strain as q result Of the Balkan con-
h~agration. On the other hand. there
had been a disposition at home to ex-
pect much nervousness in stock ex-
change circles until the question
whether there shall or shall not be an
extra session of congress was finally
determined.
A third factor might in fact be very
properly added. namely. the prodigious
activity In the iron and steel industry
and the definite knowledge that can
now be assumed to exist that. far from
being enthusiastic ex~aggerations the
reports of bumper crops made earlier
short Of the real facts. The last
monthly report by the government on
the corn crop indicated an increase OF
about 100, 000, 900 bushels, compared
with the October estimate. In the
same way the cotton crop IL moving
along brilliantly owing to the unusual
absence of killing frosts.
Thus with the Improvement in the
Balkan situation and also the activity
N trade and industry and the unex-
ampled agricultural prosperity, We
have a combination Of favorable fac
tors that appears to be Offset only by
the single r%etarding influence Of tariff
uncertainty.
On the latter point there is a very
wide difference of opinion in unusually
conservative quarters in the financial
district. Some Of the old school still
maintain there is no reason to expect
different view of tariff reductions to-
day than it has done under similar cir
.cumstances for years. The other point
Of view Is that the results Of the cleo
ton contest that has just been con-
Guided were so completely forecast
that h situation that now exists has
for months been discounted and pro-
vided for.
So far as the Balkan situation may
be regarded as remaining an influ-
ence. the argument in banking circles
at this center is that it should. from
now on operate on the conservative
side of the market. 1t was not until
the last half Of the week that the
definite news became known that the
position was changing rapidly in ia
vor OF the suspension Of hostilities and
Of the satisfactory adjustment of the
large problem of partition of the con-
quered territory without involving the
greater European powers.
Experience appears once more to
have demonstrated how far in advance

ton OF Affairs involving international
relations. London has been a heavy
