MARCUS FRANKS BIG SALE

Marcus Frank was completely
'fabergasted" this morning when he
opened the doors of his two stores
on his big alteration sale. The stores
were crowded in a few minutes and
from the opening hour until II
o'clock the force of extra clerks he
had employed were hard pushed to
wait on more than half of those who
came to take advantage of the reduc-
ed prices. Mr.. Frank said after
such rush of buyers at the opening
of the sale, or he would have added
several more clerks to the force.
After the first grand rush was over
the clerks were able 10 wait on the
customers, but all day the stores
were crowded and a very brisk trade
has been going on, and from stand
point of attendance the sale has GER
tainly left nothing to be desired.
Mr.. Franks new store was not
ready to be used during the sale,
though the work has been pushed
forward night and day. But the
stock has been changed from the
corner store to the new store room,
hung up and piled up and laid out
on tables as best it could be in a
hurried manner and everything was
,re-priced and marked with special
sales tag, the prices being in plain
figures. In many cases the custom
ers could wait on themselves, which
greatly facilitated matters.
During lull times and at night Mr..
Frank will push forward the work
of getting the new store in shape
and the windows arranged so that
displays can be made in them, fol-
after the sale is over he will carry
in the new store shoes, gents fur
nishings and clothing exclusively.
Mr.. Frank has widely advertised
the sale in both the city papers and
by huge four-page heralds sent al
over Marion and in neighborins
, counties. His reputation for fail
and honest dealing always insures {
crowd at his sales and this time more
than ever before the public is reap
ing big harvest in slaughter prices
on staple goods.

The scale on power was raised all
along, except that in TWO or three
instances. between the scales, the
rate VIII be rather lower. but this is
only where the jump from one scale
TO another was not properly grad
uated. The general raise all around,
on both power and light, will be al
least 300. The rate was TO go into
effect Sept. 1st, and include Septem-
Der in the new rate. New rules and
regulations were provided also by
the report.
Mr.. Bennett asked for further
time to consider the report. Mr.
Smith seconded his motion, after
considerable discussion, during which
Mr. Bennett said he would have to
vote against the adoption of the re-
IpOrt if a vote was called for then.
/ He said it might be all right but he
wanted time to study it and it was
! too lengthy to do it then and there.
Finally, the report was held over
until later date, and will be taken
up at a special meeting to be called
by the president.
Mr.. Roess asked for authority to
send Supt. ]. C. Caldwell to Charles
ton and Atlanta. where there are
some conventions of electric machin-
cry dealers in session and where he
could locate some machinery that
will answer our needs, practically as
good as new, for a great deal less
money that new machinery. The re-
quest was granted and Mr.. Caldwell
was instructed to leave last night
and secure the information.
The special meeting will probably
he called as soon as he returns.
The committee has been empow.
; cred to buy the supplementary ma
chinery that is needed.
The council then adjourned.

of the principal characters in the possible tragedy and

enough and thrilling enough to fill entire page of
the Express Recorder.
But best of all, and underneath the talk, he
had discovered a situation made expressly for the
artist in human interest. With the urd stage setting
of the tobacco rebellion for a background, the grim
feud touched upon by the Sheriff threatening to
occupy the of the stage Harding got the facts
bit by bit from dozen different sources, and pieced
them together with the skill of trained hunter.

sociation, holding the place by virtue of being the
largest tobacco grower in the county. Though the
growers organization decried violence and charged
the night riding to awless element which it had

ciates winked at the whippngs and barn burnings;
more, that the Colonels Bud a leader of the

Herein lay the germ of tragedy. Court in

its preiudices, launching indictments right and

in the mouths of Hardings nformants the best
loved magistrate in all West Tennessee-was letting
the ak fall where it would, declaring daily from the
bench that the law supreme, and that it must be
indicated.
Harding saw what might easily happen Current

feud fire merely smodered between the Colonel and
the Judge. If young Rawins should chance to be taken
red handed and brought before the hereditary family

A little later he was finging himself out OF
the saddle in thicket of old field pines border
ing small clearing. He was barely in time.
By the light of brush bonfire he saw punched
horses in the big road, with their white-masked
riders filling the bare dooryard of a log farm
house standing well back in the cleared
space. The maskers were armed, and in adj
dition to his shotgun each carried hickory
withe.
The climax came with brutal celebrity. As
Harding was hurriedly fitching his blown
horse the maskers were battering at the door
of the house with the chopping log for RAM
The door flew inward with crash. There
was quick rush, and then four of the
raiders appeared, dragging the wretched to-
bacco cropper into the open. The mans
wife was clinging with her arms round his
neck, and troop of half-naked, crying chill
dren trailed behind.
Yelling like demons, the maskers thrust
hoe into the hands of their victim as they
drove him before them to the tobacco bed
Harding heard the cry, "Chop it-chop it,
you nigger-hearted squatter!A and as they
shouted the hickory withes whistled and
rain of blows fell upon the mans barred back
Harding had thought he was proof against
participation in any conflict offering news val
ues to the onlooker; but the sight of the fren-
zied wife and the crying children was too much
for him. Realizing that any sort of diversion
would halt the outrage and thus give the
Sheriff party time to close in, he was pulling
himself up to vault the low rail fence when
the diversion came from another quarter
There was fierce yell from the opposite side
of the clearing, and when Harding looked
again he saw broad-shouldered young fellow
fighting his way into the heart of the melee
and shouting to the savages to stop.
Thereupon the incidents clustered so
thickly that Harding could scarcely keep pace
with them. Somebody raised the cry of "The
Sheriff's coming" and there was panic
stricken dash for the horses. At the same
instant Gilkey's posse did actually come upon
