July 3.—The most noticeable development in connsctiou with the four-cornered contest frrr the senatorial toga now w'orn by Senator Simmons, the past w’eek, was the mail ing to leaders In every section of the state of folders giving clipping from newspapers in all parts of the state welcoming and endorsing the candi dacy of ex-Governor Charles B. Ay cock. The folder also contains the open letter that Governor Aycock wrote some w'eeks ago in announcing his decision to enter the race. While numbers of the new'spaper commentfi quoted in the folder did not ?pecifically commit the paper to the Aycock can didacy while pacing tribute to he, most of them did and they make quite a formidable showing. It is an inter esting fact that each of the three other candidates for the senate. Senator Sim mons, Governor Kitchin *»nd Chief Justice Walter Clark, received copies of this folder. Ex-Governor Aycock says he did not send out the foider or have anything to do w’ith the copies being mailed to others in the race, but that he would ba most happy to have the support of either or all of them. Chi/ef Justice Clark had the Xortli Carolina Bar Association all to .llmself the past week at Toxaway so far as the actual presence of senatorial candi dates w’as concerned, and that he made all the “hay” possible in co::nection therewith is the general verdict. The chief justice of the state in the annual convention of jurists and lawyers was a field for campaign work rich iti possi billties and v,’ell justifying the greatest effort of Justice Clark, who is a cam paigner of acknowledged supremacy. Governor Kitchin was asked if he did not fear to allow duties to keep him from the bar association, thereby leaving the chief justice with an unchecked sway ther^ and he re plied that he was hoping that the law yers there w'ould so urge upon Ju^Jge Clark that they w’ant him on the su preme court bench still that he would ultimately decide to w'ithdraw from the senatorial race. Senator Simmons was too much en- gfrossed with the contest in the senate over Canadian reciprocity to come to Toxaway for the bar association. The friends of the senator are expecting him to carve out a record during the present special session that wilf give new and stronger leverage with the people in his fight for a third term. Just now he is generally admitted "lo be second and possibly third in the matter of his following just W'ith the people. Ex-Governor Aycock was also una ble to mingle with the law’yers in their annual convention for the reason that he is now' in the midst of the trial of the famous damage suit of Ware- Kramer Tobacco Co. vs. American To bacco Co. for $1,200,000, the ex-gover nor being of counsel for the defend ant American Tobacco company. W’’ith actual election of a senator to succeed Senator Simmons still eigh teen months off there ire lOts of changea-^aad developments that can and will transpire. And it is admitted now that the special interest and activ ities are now far more -among the loli- ticians than among the rank and file of the people who will cast the bal lots in the senatorial primary when one shall have been called for the pur pose in the fall of 1912.

The build ing represents an outlay of |85,000, and the stock of silver ware, jewels, etc., $50,000. Thus it happens by the enterprise, mental and financial abil ity of the three young men compos ing the firm that, Charlotte today can assert and prove that she has the largest and handsomest jewelry store between Washington and New Orleans, in this point excelling even Atlanta. The firm owned a building on South Tryon and needing a larger and more elegant place of business, purchased the building adjacent to the one it owned and threw the two into one. The one purchased was 22feet wide and three stories. It belonged to Mr. C. W. Tillett. It was purchased six years ago, the firm paying therefor $35,000. Soon after, Messrs. Garibaldi, Bruns & Dixon were offered $40,000 for it by a bank of the city. The com bined width and depth of the hand some new building is 45x60 feet. The building is three stories. The jewelry firm will occupy the entire lower floor. The second and thrid floors will be rented for offices. The building is fitted throughout with steam, electric lighting and all modern conveniences. The Jewelry Store. The Jewelry store is spacious in di mensions and beautiful in furnishings. The walls are pressed steel, in two' tones of blue. The floor Is hardwood exquisitely laid. The fixtures are of the new style electric chandelier, ten in all with four lights in each. The show cases are mahogany and are rich and elegant. Mr. Bruns and Mr. Garibaldi who did the bench work in the old store, will give that up, and will devote their time with. Mr. Dixon, to the selling department and main business of the store. I Mr. J. R. Mclver, a special watch maker takes Mr. Garibaldi’s place, and Mr, Weldon Harding and Mr. L. S. E. Miller equally skilled in watch making and engraving go on Mr. Brun’s bench. ' The firm in its new business palace starts out with the purpose of operat ing an establishment that shall be the Tiffany, or the Gorham of the South. It is to be the distributing point, in its lines, for the territory be tween Washington and Atlanta. Crystal Anniversary. Fifteen years ago Friday night, June 30, Mr. Jo Garibaldi and Mr. W.
