EDITORIAL

In announcing reductions on our entire
Shoe stock, we feel that an explanation of
our policy is due the friends and patrons of
this store.
While we have not followed the market
in pricing our merchandise, during the past
two years, as the almost constantly advanc-
ing prices would have justified, but have in
stead adopted kind of middle course" pol
icy, that is, by averaging the new and old
prices Therefore merchandise bought on
the advancing market, was marked for sale
at much lower percentage of profit basis
than we could have. afforded in normal
times. But the times were abnormal, and so
were prices likewise labor, transportation,
money, materials and supplies of all kinds,
and they were changing so rapidly it was
impossible that they all could be adjusted at
one time.
As result, standards have been created by
which both capital and labor. producer and consumer
merchant and patrons must be guided and those who
consider the best interest Of the country do not ex
pect or desire to see return Of the "oLD PRICE
have one of these. without the other. Well paid or
high priced labor cannot does not produce low
priced commodities.
However, there will appear, here and there, some
slight recession OF prices brought about n some cases
by accumulation of stocks which is result of a
slackening demand, and Is therefore not permanent
In other cases small reductions being
certain raw materials, such cotton silk and
WOOL hides. leather etc. but large reductions in these
raw materials reflect 9 very small part when con-
sidered In the cost of the finished article
Such is the case in the manufacturing and dstri-
button of Shoes. The reductions we announce (ef-
fectve at once) will represent direct loss to us as
only few houses have made reductions at all on
fine grades. Therefore 1t is obvious the permanent
reduction we making on our entire STOCK repre-
sents more than actual conditions warrant.

formal approval of the check of the
Sumter county digest sent him several
days ago.

to the ESumter county board of tax
equalizers, and it is said they will op-
pose making any further increase in

them: 1t is indicated that the county
board will refuse to increase present
valuations, and that the matter NAV
be arbitrated at the instance of hte

farmers in their new organization
meeting Saturday afternoon heard re-
ports from their organization commit
tee, warehouse committee and grading
pen committee, which indicate that
considerable progress has been made
IN the matter of securing systematized
sales of products.
The report of the warehouse COM
mittee consisted in a statement from
one of the warehousemen that he
would have his warehouse bonded
within few days. The plans are al,
ready under way. This will give a
reduction on insurance and at the
anne time make sales advantages for
those who have their cotton stored.

very fine reports on this work also
with regard to peanuts and cotton
seed.
The rultse and regulations commit
tee had waited on a proposition from
the state farm bureau to that BODY.
That suggestion did not gain the ap-
proval of the farmers and the local
bureau will proceed under its own or
ganization for the present.
Another meeting next SATURDAY. aft

will result in more definitely perfect

THE NEGRO AND HIS PISTOL
TWO

Ey the time the smoke iiolh VIZ
murder and suicide on south Fair-
fax street had blown away anotneEs
ne.,o p,stol-toter became busy IN
the northeastern section Of the city
Yesterday afternoon, he fired TOUR
shots at another negro at a distance
of about fifteen feet. Neither shot
took effect, however. The police
soon had the offender under arrest
and a special session of the Pollce
Court was held. last night for the
purpose of investigating the case.
The defendant was represented by
two members of the Alexandria bar.
It'll was difficult to ascertain the
motive or the assault. The negro
whos was the target of the pistol
toter alleged that his a~ssailant had
been carr ing on intimate relations
with his wife, and the couple had
been surprised. 1t was, however,
disclosed that both negroes had been
playing poker on. Sunday, and that
the negro who welded the pistol had
been the winner. The latter in his
defense alleged he had no intention
Of iniuring the object Of his wrath
and that he used the pistol in, self
defense, as his antagonist had pro
duced a knife and was attacking. HIM
with. stones.
The fact that the accused !hsd
been carrying a pistol could not be
gainsaid nor resisted, and he WIS
fired one hundred dollars.
Many movements for the ameli-
Grafton of the condition Of negroes
have been launched during the past
half a century or more. Occasion
ally an itinerant preacher comes
along soliciting funds for some
movement designed for the better
ment of the negro race. Such are
enthusiastic for their welfare, and
thew doubtless mean well.
The momentous issue. however.
especially in our southern country is
to make clear to the negro that 1t
is not necessary for him to carry a
pistol and hold those responsible
who may arm him.
Drastic laws impose severe pen
allies upon persons who sell poison
and certain drugs, while the Vol
stead amendment to the prohibition
law makes tia misdemeanor for a
person to carry a bottle of liquor in
his OF her pocket while severe pen
alties are provided for thos, who
may sell liquor.
IN the face of such laws certain
dealers in every city fill their show
windows with pistols of all sizes
and makes. and are allowed tc sell
the same to any person, white or
black, who may want deadly weap-
ons.
The; time has come when a radi-
cal movement should be made
against persons who sell fire. arms

placed According 70 the Tree

The tree committee of the Civic

trees planted on Main street and the
boulevard, where any of these trees
have died during the winter. or have
been injured. The trees are planted
as a memorial to the boys who made
the supreme sacrifice in the war.
Some vandal, or some careless per.
son has driven alongside of two OF
the trees and damaged them serious
ly. These will be replaced along
with any others that have died during
the year.
The list of memorial trees, and the
list of gold stars that was published
at the time of the American Legion
Memorial do not agree. and efforts
are being made to check up on the
lists. Any families in Keokuk who
failed to get the French memorial GER
tif1cates, and who are entitled to
these, are asked to send in their
names to the American Legion post
here in order that certificates may be
ordered. If these people will tele-
phone their homes, also to Miss May
Tumelty,~ chairman. of the tree COM
mittee of the civic league, check
can be made on their list, also.
