1-Price Us 2-Price
There are two ways of
doing things-right and
wrong.
Selling at one price
is right.
D Selling at twoprices-
is wrong, and a wrong
thing should not exist
anywhere.
We lost a sale of sew
enty-two dollars by not
making it even money
seventy dollars.
We lost a suit sale by
not selling a thirty-sev-
en- fifty suit for thirty
dollars, because some
store offered to sell a suit
at so much less.
We regretted the
loss Of these two
sales, (and they are only
instances), not the profit
in them, but for the rea-
son that standardized
business has suffered by
the make-believe meth
DDS of others, cloaked as
merchants.
For the benefit and
pleasure of our great
army of customers this
store maintains the one
price standard believing
it to be the only way Of
rendering the maximum
of service at a mini
mum of cost.

was defeated by Republican At 2
clock Saturday afternoon by a score
of II to 10.
At 3 o'clock the battle between the
Greenbrier and Republican teams be-
gan. Both teams fought very ear

very exciting, because Republican was
the champion of several teams this
season. At the end of the first half
the score stood 8 to z for the Republi-
cans. But at the beginning Of the
second half the Greenbrier lads were
determined to win the game and they
fought like tigers on up to the end Of
the game and the game was theirs by
score of 16 to ID.
They will play their second game
on the home field next Saturday with
Union Valley.

GOVERNOR WILL TAKE STUMP

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-The most
sensational feature of the gubernator-
ial campaign is the announcement
made today by Governor Hays that he
will take the stump for Mr.. Hodges, ac-
companied by spirited reply to at
tacks made upon the governor by DR..
Brough. At Conway Monday DR..
Brough said he was candidate for
governor Ito fill the vacancy now ex-
listing in the office" and denounced
his pardoning record and the appoint
ment Of relatives. The governor
said:
"My purpose in supporting Mr..
Hodges against DR.. Brough is to save
the state from bankruptcy. A very
prominent machine politician and Of
flee holder is now in the state lining
up every interest he can on earth for

PUT EMBARGO ON
COTTON TO EAST
SHIPMENTS ARE BARRED
ACTION OF RAILROADS WILL
AFFECT SALE OF COTTON
AT CONWAY.

While the bulk of the cotton re-
ceipts at Conway this year have al
ready been sold, and the matter of
transportation will be a problem for
the factors to solve, the sale of sew
eral thousand bales in this county
will probably be seriously affected by
an embargo against shipments to the
east, put into effect by three Arkan-
sas railroads at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
w. B. Stark, buyer for Frauenthal
q Schwarz, was in Little Rock yes
terday and sold $50 bales shortly be-
fore the embargo was announced. He
says he would have been unable to
make the sale if the embargo had
been in force
Cotton factors were advised that
the embargo did not affect other
states. Railroad men know nothing
of the extent of the embargo outside
the state. The reason given is that
all sidings and available tracks of
railroads operating in the New Eng
land states are jammed with cars
loaded with freight TOR export. The
embargo, it is said, affects all ship
ments but those OF perishable goods.
Announcement of the embargo Gre
ated excitement among Little Rock
cotton men, although the market had
closed for the day. Buyers immedi-
ately took action to fight the ruling.
Twenty buyers who had met at the
chamber of commerce to form the Lit
tie Rock Cotton Exchange, named a
committee which telegraphed immedi-
ately to the interstate commerce COM
mission asking relief. The committee
also telegraphed Senators James P
Clark and Joe T. Robinson at Wash
ington and asked them to cooperate

any other man who has ever held Of
fice. The Doctor, according to his
own statement, tried nearly three
years ago to make an alliance with
the same machine of which he COM
plains.
Arkansas is the state of my nativ-
ity and l have contributed in eyery
way | could to the welfare of the
state, never having lodged the pay
ment OF any taxes. The Doctor has
been in Arkansas about IL years.
Can he say this even for the time he
has been here? Go to the records of
Washington county and ascertain for
yourselves the number of years he
lodged the payment of even a poll
tax, which goes to the common school
fund, when at the same time he was
drawing large salary paid by the
real taxpayers. He speaks of polit-
ical rings: of this l will furnish the
peopl eof the state information later.
Il have not interfered in this cam
paign further than to speak to some
of my friends in the interest of Mr..
Hodges; but, since the Doctor seems
determined to drag me into the cam

COUNCIL Will CUT
Officers SALARIES
MAYOR TO CtTsNO PAY
MARSHAL'S SALARY TO RE CIT
FROM $50 TO s., ALDERMEN
DECIDE.

Salaries for all city officers will
practically be eliminated after next
April If an ordinance agreed upon at
an informal meeting of the CONWAY
city council last night is passed by
that body. No regular session of the
council was held, but Mayor Jones
and four Of the aldermen spent about
two hours in an informal discussion
|of several important measures which
will be brought up at the next regu-
lar meeting, and unanimous decisions
were reached upon each proposition,
insuring the passage of the ordinan-
ces, it is said.
| 1t was agreed entirely to eliminate
the salaries of the mayor and the
treasurer The mayor now receives
$50 per month and the treasurer $50
per year. The mayor, however, will
be granted a contingent fund of
about 500 or $3.50 per year upon
which he may draw for necessary ex-
penses in his office and for cases of
charity which cannot otherwise be
to receive the legal fees for the trial
OF cases coming before his court.
The marshals salary is to be re-
duced from $50 to s. per month, in
addition to his legal fees. The posi-
ton of street commissioner, however,
will be established at a salary of $45
per month, and the next council will
have the option if it so desires of
electing the marshal to this position,
giving him the same salary as at
present
No change will be made in the sal
ary of recorder, which will remain at
$40 per month. 1t was agreed that
city bookkeeper or accountant should
be employed jointly by the city and
municipal light and water plants and
the duties of this accountant would
also include the collection of bills
for water ana Fight service, city IL
censes, etc. For this position and Of
flee rent, $50 per month will be paid,
onefourth out of the city general
funds and the balance out of the wa
ter and light funds. 1t is believed
that this will result in much greater
efficiency in the city's finances and
will also give the superintendent of
the city plants more time for admin
istrative duties. The superintendent
will also be appointed plumbing in
spector at no increase in salary, and
the fees for this service heretofore GO
ing to the inspector will be paid into
the city treasury.
The aldermen will continue to re-
ceive no salaries.
The matter of refund for tax
payers in street improvement dis
tricts 2, 3, and was also discussed
and it was practically agreed that 20
per cent of the total assessed benefits
in each district should be refunded
out of the city treasury, payable in
10 equal annual installments. The
total benefits in the four districts is
$66, ,442.25. This will mean that the
city will refund to the owners of
property in the four districts a total
|of $13,288.45, or $1,32S.S4 per year,
land will be equivalent to the city re-
paying one-ffth of the total con-
Istruction and interest cost in each
district.
