In 1872, according to Mr. Harris, only ."?JW) persons out of a million were enrolled in the colleges; in 18?IN there were 1,211? in a million. Now and then we hear a yawp from nome editor in the. north who is grieved that the south should preserve the memories und traditions of the mourn ful but glorious period of the Confed eracy, but these fellows amount to lit tle where they live, and then1, is not the slightest mason why anything they may say should receive tho slightest nttentiou from the people or the press of the south. Senator Harris, of Kansas, expresses the opinion that William J. Bryan will lead the opposition forces in the coming campaign and that thc main issue will lie imperialism, McKinley's foreign policy, trusts and the high taritt* which breeds trusts.

It is estimated by careful statisticians that .if the i^ite of increase of production dnrig the past two years is maintained the total accumulated wealth in I?KKI will not be far from ??1H).(M?0,(KH),(KKI. i more than double the wealth of Hvcat Britain. In 1 ?00 the wealth of .lie United States was estimated at $20,<HMUMKMKK). A more than live fold increase in forty years is a record of wealth producing unmatched in ancient ar modern times! The peace congress assembled nt the .'House in the Woods," in the suburbs of The Hague, on the 18th, the czar's birthday. M. he Staal, Kassian am bassador to Croat Britain, was made president of the conference. President McKinley sent a cablegram to the czar congratulating him on the auspicious event. An eminent member of the congress says it is simply an act of politeness to the czar ami will yield no practical result, simply because it can not. The powers, he asserts, are too disunited and watch each ?ither too closely to arrive at any understanding ni their programme. His prediction ia that there will be a long discussion and then a iirst-class burial of th?' czar's pea?'e proposals. The mau that goes through lite in tliis day ami age without knowing something of literature and the world in general, is not worthy to live. With all the books, newspapers and period icals that are published every year, and at such low prices that they aTe within reach of ?'very one. there is no .reason why anyone should not keep up .with the world.

We will confine our remarks in this issue to our doting j and Shoe Department. The notice in the edition of last week in reference to these two mammoth departments of this big Store brought many persons who came to see, with the result that they were at once pleased with our big selection and tho popular prices and became purchasers of our Goods. We have always contended that a big value is a sure basis for big business, and our policy will always continue to give all that we cou. sistently can for the money, and therefore continue to hold the bulk of the purchasing trade. The Clothing and Shoes that we sell are gathered from all quarters where our compe tent buyers can do the best, and sold here. Our values are never surpassed, for they are the best values that can be offered. Quality, durability and price considered, we know that we make purchasing safe and easy here. Real worth saves dollars and makeB satisfaction. Shoddy Goods can be purchased at less price than Goods we sell, but shoddy Goods would not stand what these will stand, and hence our word! value. At this season in both departments there are many broken! lots which can be purchased at broken prices. Dollars be. come elastic here, and you are able to stretch your dollars to| an unusual tension. For the Ladies, especially, we have secured the agency| for the celebrated AMERICAN LADY CORSET Which has no equal.
