Why Do We Make This Enormous Reduction in Prices?
OdEB MBASOTO WHY
; 1 .
We bought heavier than ever before; sales were less, owing to local conditions and the mild weather; consequently we find our
counters loaded with goods instead of cash 1o our credit. We have resolved to unload rather than carry these goods over. Besides we
need the money. We have resolved to offer the greatest inducements ever presented to the citizens of Rowan and adjoining
counties. Our past record is a guarantee of our statements. Read some of our Gash Slaughter Prices.

The House Will Strike Back.
The special committee consid
ering the references to Congrejs
and the secret service in the Pres
ident's annual message is to re
port to the House on Friday. It
is expected that there will be con
siderable debate on the report of
the committee,? which will be
presented to the House by Repre
sentative Perkins, of New York,
the chairman. Representatives
Tawney, of Minnesota; Smith, of
Iowa; Fitzgerald, of New York,
and Sherley of Kentucky, who
were referred to by the President
in his special message following
the action of the House in resent
ing the objectionable portion of
the President's message, will take
the opportunity to reply to the
Presdent.
Representative Grigg, of Geor
gia, on Monday moved that the
special message of the President
be returned to the Chief. Execu
tive, but-jgithdrew his motion on
the advice of some of his Demo
cratic colleagues. It is under
stood that the report of the spe
cial committee, however, will be
a rebuke nearly as severe as would
have been the action proposed by
Mr. Griggs, if it is not more so.
It is stated that the report of the
committee will recommend either
the refusal by the House to receive
that portion f the President's
annual message which it is claim
ed reflected on the House or will
severely rebuke the President in
some other manner. Washington
