COMBINATION

Coming Season

No one article of attire so quickly
marks the welLdressed woman as well
chosen footwear, and the good condi-
tion In which 1t is kept. The fashions
for the coming season In both slippers
and boots emphazise the combination
idea. Different feathers are combined
and different colors; even the most Sc
date makes, show this trend. For wo-
men of conservative tastes II Is
somewhat difficult problem to know
what to wear. Probably for every day
usage the black boot of customary sort
will be selected by the majority, but
for afternoon wear one must make
graceful bow to the Inevitable in the
form of the new ideas.
The combination boot for afternoon
wear is made with patent leather
vamp and suede top, and the most
popular shades of suede will be dark
tan color, though gray suede is also to
be had. These boots are 141s inches
high and are buttoned. The fancy pearl
buttons exactly match the suede and
are imported. All these buttons are
made in a mold, and in themselves are
a note of novelty: The patent leather
is stitched in thread to match the
suede. The heel Is an item which is
both sensible and pretty, for from the
back It has the solid effect of the mill.

Party Leaders Views.
Wilson's announcement that he will
call special session of congress to
revise the tariff met with the hearty
commendation of all Democratic lead.
ers in Washington. William j, Bryan
and Champ Clark both indorsed the
move with unqualified praise, but
Bryan is In favor of including other
legislation In the special session.
The general opinion Is that 1t would
have been suicidal politically for vii.
son to have postponed action on the
pledge made by the party.
The Republicans, on the other hand
seemed well pleased that the Demo.
cratic administration is going to
tackle the tariff at an early date.
They are confident that the revision
will spell dissention in the Demo
cratic ranks and disaster for the
party.
When William j., Bryan was inform

ernor Wilson's conclusions and his
reasons are sound, and have expect

tariff question ia the principal one
now before the people for discussion
by congress and II will doubtless
prove So"

New York, Nov. l6.-Presid ant
elect Wilson announced that he will
call congress together in extraordi,
nary session not later than April 10
Of next year to revise the tariff.
In his statement, made public on
the eve of his departure for four
weeks vacation in Bermuda, he says
that he has determined upon this
course not only because he was elect
ed on q platform. which declared for
an immediate downward revision of
the tariff schedules, but also because
he feels It is due to the business in
terests Of the country that they should
be relieved OF all uncertainty as to
what the general purpose Of the In
coming administration Is.
While the platform adopted at Balti-
more declared that the Democratic
party believes that any other tariff
than one designed for revenue pur-
poses is unconstitutional. cognizance
was taken of the fact that q policy Of
protection has SO ingrained itself into
the commercial interests OF the coun-
try that 1t would be unwise to attempt
anything more than a gradual elimi.
nation of the duties considered obnOx-
ious.
The demand that this gradual re.
duction be instituted Immediately was
nevertheless unequivocal. Beyond his
bald statement that he will call an
extraordinary session. the president
elect has made no comment on the sit
uation other than that, SO far as he
was concerned, the pledges Of his
party and Its platform Would be car
ried out.
Governor Wilson's statement fol-
lOws:
II shall call congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April l6. shall do this not only be-
cause ! think that the pledges Of the
party ought to be redeemed as
promptly as possible, but also because
know 1t to be IN the interest Of busi-
ness that all uncertainty as to what
the particular items Of tariff revision
are to be should be revised as soon az
possible"
Governor Wilson sailed at two
o'clock this afternoon for Bermuda
or the Bermudian. and will rest there
until Zee. 16.
One OF his first acts on arriving In
Bermuda will be to call upon the gov
ernor Of Bermuda and to request him
that he be permitted to spend his
time there without recognition Of his
official status either as governor OF
New Jersey or president-elect Of the
United States. He was accompanied

[DEATH OF w. J. cAvENY.

Mr.. William ]. Caveny, q we'll
known and highly esteemed citizen OF
Rock Hill, died suddenly at his home
in that city last Tuesday morning,
shortly after 4 o'clock.
Mr.. Caveny was on the streets OF
Rock Hill Monday, in his usual good
health, and with no thought Of being
in a serious physical condition. After
supper he complained Of headache,
and went to bed in the expectation
that he would get relief in sleep. At
about o'clock Mrs. Caveny heard
him moving about in his room, but
thought nothing Of It; but later when
she went In to call her husband to
breakfast she found him cold in death.
It Is thought that death was due to
heart disease.
Mr.. Caveny was born about six
miles northeast Of Yorkville AZ years
ago and has been a resident OF ROCK
Hill for more than twenty-five years.
He married Miss Mimosa Cunningham
Of Providence, N. C. who with three
daughters. Misses Lillian, Cornelia
and Mary Caveny, survives him. He
Is also survived by his aged mother
and one brother, Mr.. r. Campbell
Caveny, who lives in the Ogden neigh
borhood.
During his long residence in Rock
Hill Mr.. Caveny has won the respect
and esteem Of all the best people to
an unusual extent. He was straight
forward in all his business dealings,
and kind, generous and sympathetic to
all with whom he came In contact.
Although largely self taught in busi-
ness matters, he was just, safe and
conservative in all his dealings, and
all who knew him recognized that his
word was as good as his bond.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
and the interment was in Laurelwood
cemetery

WEIGHING THE MAILS.

Yesterday the postoffice department
began the Weighing Of the mails car
ried by the various railroad lines In
what Is known as the second contract
district, or fourth division, which
comprises the states south Of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi rivers.
The mail is weighed every four
years for the purpose Of getting a
basis on which to make contracts with
the railroads for the transportation or
the mails during the next four years.
The weighing period Will extend
over los days, and as every newspa-
per, magazine, package, letter and
postal card Is to be weighed by the
special weighers on the trains, the ag-
gregate weight of the mail carried by
the railroads during the 105 days will
mount high up into the thousands OF
tons.
During the past year or more there
has been lots Of discussion Of the rate
of pay the railroads receive for the
TRANSFORMATION Of the mails. Some OF
the mail authorities are inclined to
claim that the railroads are paid too
high a rate for the transportation OF
the mails and for the use Of the mail
cars. On the other hand the railroad
officials are claiming that on account
Of the exactions Of the mail service
the increased cost Of labor, ETC., the
railroads are not paid a rate that Is
fair to them and consequently are US
ing every effort to secure more pay.
During the past few months the
postoffice department has been trying
out the plan of shipping magazines
from the larger publishing centres by
fast freight trains to central points
and there redistributing this class OF
mails, instead of making long hauls
in the regular service mail cars This
practice is reported to be reasonably
