Hood's Sarsaparila, by giving good blood and good health, has helped many a man to success who, before taking it, could not even see any good in life to win. Hood's Pills are gentle, yet effective. A few years ago we thought, in order to meet competition, that we had to handle exclusively cheap goods.

Now we do not feel that anything offered is too good for ua to buy. When we go to buy hams and breakfast bacon -we buy small hams and wide, thin breakfast bacon, which costs 1-2 to 2 cents per pound more than large ones. When we buy flour we buy White Swan, because we think there is no flour superior. We sell Penick Ford's Louisiana open kettle molasses, because we think it the best on the market. We sell the finest coffees and teas, the best canned goods, preserves and Jellies that Aus-ujanjjou puB biujojii'bo 5 'uji markets can produce.

Two years ago we bought just a few cases of these fine goods; last year we bought seventy-five cases, and this year we have bought about four hundred cases, besides six hundred or more of cheaper goods. We feel that our rapidly increasing trade is due to selling high grade goods. If you are not trading with us, commence at once. We will do everything in our power to please you.

A. BAHN OPTICAL AND DIAMOND 622 Congress Avenue, corner Seventh Austin, Tex. cratic party. My leaving the party of my early youth In 1892 was due to the fact that It had become seemingly, through the election of President Cleveland, a party favorable to the single gold standard, and to this per haps more than any other reason, is due the great growth of the populist party. New Issues have arisen for so lution of equal importance with that of the money question which will indicate the future policies of our country, viz: The control of the trusts, the money power and the disposition of our newly acquired territory.

The time Is fast approaching when we must recognize In one party or another a friend to the laboring people, remem bering that 'men, high-minded men and not high raised battlements, con stitute a The democratic plat form In 1900 will contain, In my hum ble judgment, many principles advo cated by the populist party, and If true, it will I hope in many states secure the co-operation of populists who have good, fair and economical government at heart. My labors in the past have been In behalf of the Interests of the common people, and for them I will continue to work, render Ing my feeble assistance to him who shoulders the burdens of the govern ment, and who In turn will fix the na tion's destiny." About forty correspondents of the State Democrat with some friends and the publisher enjoyed a pleasant out ing and picnic up Lake McDonald yesterday.

CHARLESTON, S.

Aug. 6. Lillian Clayton Jewett, the Boston girl, who recently created a sensation among the negroes of that city by declaring that she would come to Charleston and take north with her the family of the late Frazler B. Baker, who was lynched at Lake City, in 1898, with a view to beginning an agitation against mob law, has carried out her designs. Mis Jewett arrived here Friday morning accompanied by her mother and a young man named R.

G. Larsen, who Is a Boston journalist. She had frequent conferences with the Baker woman and friends, and as a result she left here for Boston this afternoon accompanied by the entire Baker family, the mother and five children. Miss Jewett says her plans for the future are not yet formulated, but she proposes to hold meetings through the north to arouse popular sentiment against lynching and mob law generally. She did not regard her movement as an issue between the races, but as advocating the cause of humanity irrespective of color or condition.

She said she was educated In Virginia and had some knowledge of the southern people, and she was well aware that the better elements in the south joined heart and soul with the better elements of the north in demanding a halt in the commission of the outrages that recently have shocked the world. She said that when her address was made she had received many threatening letters from the south, but to these she had paid no heed, knowing that they did not come from a source worthy of serlou consideration. Miss Jewett paid for the tickets of the Baker family, and she also bought a number of small articles of clothing for the woman and her children. The Rev. J.

L. Dart, a colored minister of this city, who has recently upent some time In Boston, returned to this city today and opposed violent ly the removal of the Bakers from Charleston. He declared that Miss Jewett did not represent the better class of white or colored people ln Boston. He says she and those who stand with her merely want to get control of the Bakers to make notoriety and money for themselves. CATTLE FOR CUBA.
