Of Everything Summery.
It won't be very long now until dry goods merchants will turn their thoughts toward the fall
season. We're already making our plans for the winter business, but in the meantime do not forget
that summer is yet here and will be for some time, and that we have yet on our shelves just enough
summer goods to supply your wants. We do not mean to carry them over for another year, and for
the next six weeks, or until the present stocks are exhausted, we are going to sell them at less prices
than they have ever been seen at a similar season. To begin with we want to assure you that this is
U an opportunity for buying summer goods at just a little more than half their value, and everything
h will be sold just as quoted, with this one exception: We will not sell to merchants to be sold again,
-1 because if we did our customers would derive no benefit from this sale, and you know the reason why.
They would buy us out first day of the sale and when you came the goods would all be gone. Call
and see what we are doing during this sale. If we fail to meet your expectactions don't buy. You'll
come across many things that you need, and they'll be so entertainingly priced that you'll be glad you
came. Don't wait too long; if you do you are liable to get left. On some of the lines herein quoted we
are fairly well stocked, while on others we haven't enough to go round, so you had best come early be=
fore others get ahead of you. The lines here put forward represent only a partial list of our offerings,
and from week to week we shall drop out such lines as are closed out and add others not before quoted.
Keep your "lamps" on this page. There's money in it.

THE JUDICIAL QUESTION.
^ I
Hon. (Jhas. E. Carter ot Harri-
g j son county, and Hon. W. J, Gra-
ham announced as candidates for
the democratic nomination for dis-
trict judge of the 4th judicial dis-
trict.
It seems that both Mr. Carter
11 and Judge Graham will run until
I the general election. With this
condition of affairs before them,
the democracy of Rusk county is
interested to know whether Mr.
i
Carter or Judge Graham is the reg-
' ular and lawful nominee of the
democratic party for.district judge.
I take it that every true democrat
is willing to support the nominee
whether he is Mr. Carter or Judge
Graham, for I grant that Mr. Car-
ter is qualified for the office, and
every one knows Judge Graham
has filled the place with credit to
himself and with honor to his peo-
ple.
When it is established who is the
regular nominee of the party, then
the blame can be easily placed for
any attempt to disorganize, disrupt
and defeat the party. Any man
that makes such attempt should re-
ceive no democratic votes. Now
let us review the history of the
struggle for the nomination. Four
years ago Rusk county and Panola
county, representing more than
i.vo-thirds of the white democratic
votes of this district, demanded a
judicial primary to nominate candi-
dates for district attorney and dis-
trict judge, but then the effort
failed and everybody accepted the
rulings and action of regular
recognized democratic authority.
When the time came near for the
opening of this campaign, Panola
county, as early as December,
1899, through her democratic ex-
ecutive committee, by resolution
asked W. E. Ross, district chair-
man, to order judicial primary. In
March, 1900, Rusk county, through
her executiye committee, asked for
a judicial primary. (Bear in mind
that this is the demand of more
than two-thirds of the democratic
voters of the district.) On the
16th day of April, 1900, Judge
Graham in a letter to Mr. Carter
asked him to join in a demand for
judicial primary, stating that "lie
would not accept the nomina-
tion should he not be the choice of
the majority of the voters " This
was refused. Again 011 April iqth
Judge Graham in a letter submit-
ted other propositions, and in case
Mr. Garter could not submit to any
propositions that Judge Graham
had made Mr. Carter was requested
to submit a proposition that was
fair to both candidates alike. All
the propositions made by Judge
Graham were refused nor did Mr.
Carter haye any to submit, giving
as the reason for his lefusal the
action of the democratic executive
committee of Harrison county in
determining the manner in which
said nomination should be made,
Let some enthusiastic Carter
supporter answer this question: j
Has Harrison county alone the!
right to sav how nominations for
the office of district judge and dis-1
trict attorney shall be made any j
more than Rusk county alone has
the right to say how nominations
' for congress, governor, etc., shall
I be made?
The next step was taken by
! Hon. W. E. Ross, district chair-
[ man. Desiring to be backed by
! the highest democratic authority j
before ordering a judicial primary,'
he addressed a letter to Hon. C. K. i
Bell, State chairman, asking for j
his opinion and ruling. In a letier
dated April 14th he said that this
was no new question, and ruled
that the district chairman and the ;
chairmen of the executive com-
mittee of the various counties com-
posing the district constitute the
executive committee for the dis- ■
trict and that thay have the a s
thority to sav how the nominations
shall be made. Mr. Ross then
called his committee together be-
fore May 5, the date ot the Harri-
son county convention. For some
cause Harrison county's represen-
ta'Jve did not attend (but for that
reason action would have been
taken then) and Mr. Boren, Pano-
la's representative, was unavoida-
bly absent. Nothing was done.
The committee was called to meet
again on May 8th. All were pres-
ent except Harrison county's rep-
resentative. That committee or-
dered judicial primary for June
23rd, and in that primary Judge
Graham received more than 3000
votes and was declared the nomi-
nee by W. E. Ross, district chair-
man, A. G. Brooke, county chair-
man Panola county, and myself,
county chairman Rusk county.
The greatest grievance of the
opposition is that the method of
of nominating candidates was
changed; that the convention sys-
tem gave us good nominees and
good officers. It cannot be denied
that the Convention system for
nominating candidates is nearly a
thing of the past. Democracy's
strength is with the plain people
and democracy's policy is to give
eyery democrat, rich or poor, a
voice in nominating her candi-
dates. This can beste be done by
primaries. Rusk county had the
convention system but the people
established the primary system.
This congressional district had the
convention system always; but this
year the congressional executive
committee ordered the nomination
to be made by ✓primary vote, and
Mr. DeGraffenried will so receive
his nomination. No democrat will
dispute Mr. DeGraffenried's title
to his nomination. Then does it
not follow that a method that is
binding on democrats as to con-
gressional nominations should be
equally binding as to judicial nom-
inations?
The charge that Judge Graham
made the fight for the vote of Har-
rison county in their convention of
May 5th is not borne out by the
facts. He never made any can-
vass in the county, not even an-
nounced in the county papers.
The votes he received in conven-
tion was unsolicited votes ot
friends in that convention. He
was then favoring a primary. Rusk
and Panola county had demanded
a primary and Mr. Ross had even
called the executive committee of
the district together before this
convention date. But grant that
Judge Graham and his friends
made the fight in the convention,
does that change the regularity of
the action of the committee? Har-
rison county knew all along that
it was an undecided question as to
whether there should be judicial
primary or convention, and can it
be contended that because Harri-
son county held her convention
and elected her delegates to a con-
vention that had never been called
by any authority that the conven-
tion must be called whether or not
regardless ot any other authority
or the wishes of any other people?
This would be high-handed im-
perialism.
What democrat can say that
chairman Bell is interested 'in the
politics ot this district in a partisan
sense? He is an honorable gentle-
man elected to his high office by
the party, and his rulings are be-
yond doubt the highest democratic
law. Other districts accept it as
such and if we intend to maintain
party organization, the democracy
of the district must so accept it re-
gardless of what individual opinion
may haye been
Now was that primary fairly

called so as to give both candidates
a chance? Mr. Carter had an-
nounced early in December and it
is reasonable to suppsse had can-
vassed his own county personally
and otherwise before May 8th. He
had full six weeks to canvass Rusk
and Panola before the primaries on
June 23rd, thereby giving fall and
ample time for every candidate to
put his claims before the people.
But the truth is and the facts will
establish it to any reasonable mind
that Mr. Carter never at any time,
or under any circumstances, in-
tended to submit his name to the
white democratic yoteis of this dis-
trict for the high office to which he
aspires.
Judge Graham has secured his
nomination by direct primary
called by a majority of the execu-
tive committee of this district,
with Chairman Bell, the highest
authority, ruling they had the
right to call such primary. They
say the people never demanded the
change. This is again contrary to
tacts. They called for the primary
through their representatives, and
endorsed it in their conventions.
The people love the politician
whose ruse and method is to come
directly before them without any
equivocation or reservation, willing
to give an account of his steward-
ship, and to abide by their yerdict,
whether he has held office two or
twenty years.
There cannot be two nominees.
Let's follow Mr. Carter's steps and
see how far he leads us towards a
nomination. He has the instruct-
ed delegates of Harrison county
by convention to a judicial con-
vention that has never been held.
This is his full claim in a nutshell.
Can any man say that this makes
him the democratic nominee?
With these indisputed facts it is
clear that Judge Graham's title to
the nomination is as clean and
regular as is the title of any other
nominee presented by the democ-
racy.
It cannot be that the people are
disorganizing and disrupting the
democracy of the district, because
by their vote they have endorsed
Judge Graham. The disorganizers
are Mr. Carter and his friends, be-
cause they refuse to submit to the
wishes of more than two-thirds of
the democrats of this district.
In an article in The Hender-
son Times Mr. A. C. Buckner
uses this language: «
"Our young friend, Hon. P. O.
Beard, was anxious at this time, to
make the race for District Attorney,
and went to Carthage in April to
announce his candidacy, and why
he did not announce, was on ac-
count ot Judge Graham not having
enough "pie," and knowing full
well that the district would not
accept both judge and attorney
from the same county. lender the
circumstances could Mr. Beard
have announced being ever so well
qualified for the attorney ship?"
This is begging the question.
We live in a free country. I had
the right to run for district attor-
ney if I had so desired and more
than that Judge Graham tendered
me his support if I concluded to
make the race and urged me not to
consider his interests one moment.
What may have been my ambitions
have nothing to do with this race,
and certainly is most unfair to
use it against Judge Graham. I
appreciate what the democracy of
Rusk county has done for me, and
made my own decision relative to
the district attorney's race, and the
people of the district are not in-
terested in this campaign as to
what my aspirations were.
In conclusion, I urge the democ-
racy of Rusk county to begin
preparation for the fight, crush out
opposition in every form and give
every one of our splendid nominees
from our peerless leader, W. J.
Bryan, to the lowest, a greater
majority than ever before.

CATARRH:
FORERUNNER OF
Eft
Few realize what a deep-teated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regaruii.se it as a simple inflammation of
the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. But, however insignificant it may seem at first, it
is serious and far-reaching in its results.
The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys —in
fact all the organs —feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, and when the lungs are reached its progress
is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption. . ,
It frequently happens that the'senses of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost, the soft oones ot
the nose eaten into and destroyed, causing intense suffering and greatly disfiguring ihe face, while sprays,
;< 'jM u as'les anc* sa^ves may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expecte.s from such treatment.
CATAKKIi IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE,
and far beyond tho reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap-
pointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease^
S. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purifies it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and
puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations.
