Gent’s Furnishing Goods, Clothing, Carpets and Upholstery
Goods that it has ever been our pleasure to show. Our
shelves have been emptied considerably by the several sum-mer
clearing sales that we have had, and the space is filling
up very fast with New Fall Goods of every description.
OUR GLEANING UP MONTH,
Gent’s Furnishings and
Clothing.
Our stock of Gent’s Furnishing Goods
and Clothing is crowding in very
fast now and is composed of well-made,
perfect fitting and most styl-ish
goods in every line that could
be bought frofn the very best man-ufacturers
in the country*
Boys Clothing.
Our stock of boys clothing i« also
crowding in very fast, and the as-sortment
of well-made and nobby
suits is one that we guarantee can-not
be duplicated by any bouse in
the south. A visit to our exclusive
boys’ department will convince you
that styles are right and prices such
as defy competition.
Shoes.
Every one that has bought our shoes
in the past are aware of the fact that
we have always tried, and succeeded
very well in keeping up with the
times and wants of the people by
showing onlp the newest styles and
best goods to be found in the mar-ket.
We have not lost sight of this
established rule while selecting our
stock, but have done our best to
come nearer, if possible, to carrying
it out to the letter than we have
ever done before, by placing our or-ders
for a much larger stock and
for all the latest novelties, both in
ladies and gentlemens’ footwear.
Our stock is coming in now in im--
mense quantities, and we are already
showing a stock of ladies', misses,
childrens and mens shoes that is
second to none in the south.
We mention only the two above departments this
week, but the rest are opening new goods every day, and
already showing some very pretty novelties in every line.

It is impossible to run a store with a stock as large
as ours, and doing the immense business we do
without gathering during the rush of the season a
world of odds and ends, broken lines of shoes here,
a stack of odd suits there, remnants of dress goods,
white goods and trimmings, broken lines of chil-drens’,
misses and ladies’ hose; all such must go.
We carry over no goods, and little lots of goods of
whatever character we unmercifully slaughter. We
simply can’t have them in our way, and out they
must go, no matter what they bring. During the
balance of this month we promise you special bar-gains
on the counters every day. We cannot now
tell you what day a certain line will be shown, and
sacrificed, hut we do promise you that every day
will see the extermination of some one or more lines
at a mere fraction of their real worth. One of our
buyers is already on the market, the other two leave
this week, and by the first of September goods will
he pouring in by the carload, so summer goods
must go, bring what they will.
SPECIAL:
Just received, another case of Summer Corsets,
which we will sell for 35 cents, would be a bargain
for 75 cents.
Special drives every day this month. Look out for
bargains.

Faded Lillies at Santone-
Special to the News
San Antonio, Sept. 4.—On this the
second day of the republican conven-tion,
it became more and more over-whelmningly
evident that the conven-tion
was the colored man’s property
and that he was going to assert his
proprietorship and to put in in the
caste diction of the delegate from the
canebrake in the Brazos bottom, “dis
here am a fight between de Hogg and
de Coon dis season, and de Coony from
Galveston done got his enemies in de
water wharhe want ’em.” The white
element was growing weaker and
weaker and when it was intimated
early in the morning that the commit-tee
on credentials proposed to seat no
delegations that had not been elected
at primaries called by a regularly ap-pointed
and constituted chairman, the
enervation of the Caucasian increased,
The ebon hued was in fair trim while
the lillies drooped and their leaders'
efforts to make them hold up their
heads proved failures. They were
downed—that fact was potent, and
they felt like they had no place there.
It became generally understood that
there was a probability that the white
league would be urged by the San An-tonio
branch to withdraw and draw the
color line closely by holding a conven-tion
of its own, and whenever the lil-lies
were interrogated on the subject
they held their heads down in silence,
but it was evident that several vol-umes
were spoken in the silence. The
temporary chairman called the con-vention
to order at 10 a. m.
Although fully half of the
delegates had not made appearance,
he announced that the committee on
credentials were not ready to report
and had asked for further time and the
convention then took a recess until
noon. The committee oa permanent
organization had completed its work
but did not report on account of the
recess.
S. J. Wright of Paris, Lamar coun-ty,
was selected, over which there was
a three-cornered fight in the commit-tee
between DeGress, liosenthal and
Wright advocates, who each wanted
their man reported for chairman.
DeGress and Basenthal were both
defeated bv,a vote of two to one in
favor of Wright. The committee
also agreed upon the temporary secre-taries
and selected Kalb of Wichita
county, and Stuart, colored, of Robin-
6on, for permanent secretary.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention convened again at
12:30 o’clock, when the chairman re-ported
that the committee on creden-tials
was not yet ready to report and
an extension of time in which to hear
the claims of the contesting delega-tions
was asked, and the convention
adjourned again until 3 o’clock this
afternoon. There is a bitter fight go-ing
on before the credential committeel
between the two factions, but there is|
scarcely any room for doubt but tb<
lily-whites will be rejected from the|
convention.
