Says Eight-Hour' Law is No Such
Thing; Scheme to Raise Wages.
(Special Star ' Correspondence.) -
Clinton, N. C, Sept. 28. Jake Newell,
one of the drawing cards among the
Republican spellbinders of the State,
sermonized ' before a fair, sized Samp
son county audience Tuesday during
noon recess ' of court. ' He made a
speech that was very pleasing 'to the
Republicans; one that delved way back
before the "war and- bolstered' up his
party's record from that day until, this;
but he paid' some attention to recent
sins of the Democratic party. He was
the first, speaker of "th& campaign here
who has aired the Republican dislike
to the Adamson eightrhour " law, re
cently - enacted by Congress. He said
that it was ; not an eight-hour law at
all, but a. scheme to raise wages 25
per, cent,
: Many, of the members of. the Repub
lican party in Sampson were sorely
disappointed at the turn 1 affairs took
in their convention, when the reaction
ary element, led by 'Mr. Tom Owen and
Mr. Jim Kennedy, got the upper hand
and nominated their county ticket, and
they say openly that they will not sup
port the present nominees. .There are
many Republicans who say that they
put, their pride of citizenship before
their party loyalty, and- they will not
vote for a candidate who .has risen to
power through an abuse of progressive
measures.

4t nine o'clock Monday morning, Oct, 2, the, new Bon Marche becomes a reality.
Merchandise has been arriving for more than a month until now we can. thro wopen
our doors and say: Come in, and choose from' one of ihe most complete and thor
ough stocks in the South.
While there may be an item or two short, the assortments are remarkably com
plete, considering that everything is new from; beginning to end.
Think of being able to purchase from a stock as large as this one, ojf absolutely
NEW merchandise. And we mean to keep it new. You will find - that each, week
brings something that is novel, that is strictly up-to-date. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH
OUR ADVERTISING. V '
This is a rule that will be strictly adhered to.
Along with the ONE PRICE SYSTEM goes the rule of "No Goods Sent on Ap
proval," -' ., ' ' ; " . ,: , .
.Tahesanitary side of it. It was formerly the habit of some stores to send out
sleeping garments, underwear, corsets, dresses, and the like, on approval. Of course,
it's: perfectly all right if they were sent to you; but if they are sent tp you Ihey are
just as likely to go to someone else. They are tried on. Anybody and; everybody
gets the same privilege. Did you ever consider the danger? : ;
In this store, you can depend upon it that you are the first person to take the mer
chandise into your home. No danger of infections, diseases, etc. :
We are servants of the public, and it is our duty to protect their interests. In
order to make it uniform and without confusion everything must be embraced, so
when we say: "No goods 'sent on approval" you will know we are doing it for your
benefit as well as ours. " (
This is only one phase of the approval problem, but it is sufficient to prove the wis
dom of the Bon Marche rule, . ' - .
