In planning for the immense increase in the volume of our business which has been realized within the last few
years, we tried to put ourselves in our customers’ position and view every detail of our merchandise and service from
the standpoint of our customers. If we were in-the retail dry goods business in the South we should require from our
jobbing house complete assortments of all lines salable to the Southern trade. We should require immediate service
on all orders, the order being filled and shipped the same day it is received.
We have governed our business accordingly. On the nine floors of our great building we carry in stock the largest
and most complete assortment of dry goods, notions, ready-to-wear garments, men’s furnishings and kindred merchan
dise offered in the entire South. In fact, no house in the country presents greater assortments of those lines which are
in continuous demand by the Southern trade than will be found here.
Our Mail Or<Jer Department has a large force of mail order buyers, wiiu take your order from department to de
partment and see that it is filled accurately and, above all, immediately. It goes directly to the hilling and packing
rbom for shipment by the first tcain leaving the city.
We urge all our merchant customers whenever possible to visit this market in person and make selections for the
actual goods in stock. While our traveling salesmen carry the most complete sample lines possible, yet the merchant
can judge the values and salability of the goods better when selecting from actual stock.
Our Credit Department extends to our customers the utmost courtesies and accommodations consistent with sound
business principles. Instead of placing your orders in distant markets, where the business conditions in your district
are unknown or unappreciated, why not deal with people whom you know and who know you, by coming directly to
this great Southern house?

the House of Representatives must
either accept some of the general
amendments put Into the public build
ing bill by the Senate or the measure
would not pass at this session of Con
gress. Senator Newlands of Nevada,
holding tli*’ floor for several hours dur
ing the day, insisted that there should
be no action on the river and harbor
conference report unless an oportu
nity was given for a vote in the House
of Representatives upon his amend
ment proposing a river regulation
hoard to take control of all waterway
developments.
Work Late Into Night
The naval, agricultural, pension, In
dian, legislative, postofice and sundry
civil appropriation bills were all held
hack from final perfection wl\en the
filibuster started. Conference commit
tees worked until after midnight last
night and throughout today attempting
to adjust differences between the two
Houses. The continuation of the Sen
ate filibuster may so block the rati
fication of these conference reports,
however, as to make it impossible to
finish up all of the bills before ad
journment March <1.
In case any of them fail of passage
it will b© necessary for the extra ses
sion to take? them up so that govern
ment departments may not be bank
rupted.
The opposition to the public buildings
bill was based on the ground that the
conference committee had omitted all
of the general items, and had left only
the local appropriation which Senator
Bristow referred to as “grab" items.
Among the Senkte amendments dropped
out of the bill were those for the Ar
lington memorial bridge, a militia ar
mory, an extension of the park sys
tem and a national lied Cross build
ing. ail in Washington, and $3,000,000
for a New York courthouse site.
The only measures that had reached
the President today were the fortifi
cations appropriation bill, involving
about $1,000,000 and tlie diplomatic ami
consular bill, carrying something over;
$3,000,000. The measurest resting in

The House late today adopted the
conference report on the army appro
priation bill, carrying $1)1,000,000, and
the pension appropriation bill carrying
$IS0.000,000.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
sent to conference by the House today
after a motion of Representative Murdock
of Kansas to disagree with the Senate
amendment increasing th£ pay of the
railroads for carrying the mail by about
$9,000,000 had been voted down.
The Senate amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill to pay a claim of the
Pottawattorrae Indians amounting to
about $600,000, has tied up that supply bill
in conference. The conferees have dis
agreed and the House will be asked to
insist upon elimination of the amend
ment and further conference.
Carrying a tQtal of $28,048,624,. an in
crease of $3,824,614 over the House total,
the general deficiency bill was reported
to the Senate tonight by the Senate ap
propriations committee, with the inten
tion of pressing it for passage before
adjournment. The committee fixed the
salary of the secretary to the President
at $7iKX) a year instead of $6000, as au
thorized by the House.
Claims Buildings Bill Dead
"The public buildings bill Is dead—as |
dead as a door nail,” announced Chair
man Burnett of the House public build
ings committee tonight. Mr. Burnett said
that the Senate had insisted upon its
amendment for many millions of dollars
for various projects and that It had been
impossible to reach an agreement.
By a vote of 37 to _G the Senate at
11:30 o’clock tonight refused to re-enter
upon consideration of the conference re
port on the rivers and harbors appro
priation bill. The negative'vote was due
to a combination of general opposition
on the part of some senators and of a
desire to take up tin* general deficiency
appropriation bill and the seamans serv
itude bill. The action was generally con
sidered as indicating the ultimate fail
ure of the rivers and harbors bill at this
session, although seine of its friends re
fused to accept this view.
The Senate passed the general deficien
cy appropriation hill, the last of the great
supply hills to l>o acvd upon by that
body, at *1:45 o’clock this morning. A
number of amendments were made, one
of them appropriating $500,000 to carry
Into effect the railroad physical valuation
bill, which became a law yesterday. The
deficiency bill carries almost $30,000,000.
After working until nearly 1 o’clock this
morning, passing the workmen’s compen
sation law and handling a mass of rou
tine appropriation bills, the House took
it recess until 2:30 this afternoon. Major
ity Header 1’nderwood .announced during
the evening session that it would be nec
essary for the Hous<* to resort to the
unusual expedient of meeting for reg*
ular business on Sunday, owing tb the
situation hs to the big supply bills. To
obviate the necessity of a Sunday ap
pearing as a legislative day In the rec
ord a recess was taken, preserving the
(legislative day of March 1.

For Gray Hair
It Can Be Darkened Very Cleverly by
llilug Thin Simple Formula
In this age when one's personal ap
pearance counts for so much, and when
both the social and business world puts
a ban upon everything that denotes the
approach of age. It becomes a matter of
duty to those whose hair Is turning gray
to adoirt some rational means of darken
ing It, (bus hiding the traces of Time. All
excellent, yet very simple solution of the
problem Is to procure at the drug store
an ounce of bay rum. a quarter ounce of
glycerine and a small box of Barbo Com
pound and at home you can dissolve the
Barbo Compound In 7 ounces of water,
afterward adding the two other ingred
ients. This makes a remarkable effective
mixture for darkening gray hair, and at
the same time removing dandruff and
other Ills of the scalp, besides making the
hair soft, glossy and “young-looking." It
la applied once a week until the hair Is
darkened, then every two weeks. It does

Birmingham responded to our call for
money was noble Indeed and Captain Car
lisle and myself express the sincere thanks
of every member of Companies B and K.
This is the time of year when so many
calls are made upon the pocketbooks of
the people that in many cases it is neces
sarily a sacrifice on the part of the donor
to contribute to such a fund. We, how
ever, encountered absolutely no obstacles
in the collection of the fund, and Cap
tain Carlisle and myself will say now
that we always stand ready to render
Birmingham the best service there is
when needed.
“We leave on the second section of the
Birmingham Special for Washington to
morrow morning at 9:10 o'clock and ex
pect to arrive there about noon Monday.
We will have three cars and one baggage
car. Each company will take the officers
nnd about 40 men, making a total of about
90 men and officers from Birmingham.
“The men have been thoroughly drilled
for tlie last few nights and 1 feel sure
that Birmingham will be creditably rep
resented in Washington.”
Lieut. J. lowles Evans of Company B
returned Friday night from Montgomery,
where he went Friday to procure from the
quartermaster general the olive drab over
coats necessary for the journey.
Lieut. William T. Wingo of Company
