It is a pity that evtrjoae in Char lotte cannot examine a copy of the Da vidson Annual, just to see what fine work the boys of Davidson are capable or producing. The city editor appreciates the thoughtful remembrance of the , stu dents, which adds this wonderfully clever book to her office effects. The book is beautifully bound and the pen sketches which make it so interesting are tne worn or genius. The credit for this part of the Annual beloDgsto Messrs. Vass and McGilvary. xne portraits, cartoons and scenes are as beautifully executed as anv ever seen. The book is bright and smart, and is something the college can be justly proud of. It is the cleverest col lege annual ever issued in the State. A' Dramatic Entertainment for Atlanta. The North Carolina lady managers of tneuanta exposition, recognizing that they have been placed at a great disad vantage by the refusal of the Populist Legislature to grant them an appropri ation, have determined to make some Carolina may not be entirely unrepre sented in the woman's building. Mrs.' J. Ij. Morehead, one of the eight ladies appointed by the Governor, has secured the services of the Dramatic Club, and they promise at an early day an Atlanta "benefit.". As all Charlotte will go to the fair, the Observer feels assured that the club will have the .' hearty support of the community when it comesjorward to repair, to the best of its1 ability, the-error of the fusion Legislature. - The Seminary Entering Its Fifth Year - ' - . .

They sang with fine effect, bat the real beauty of Miss Oates' voice did not show itself until she gave Polacea from II Puri tana, Bellini, As Miss Oates rose to go to the stage she was greeted by a storm of aoplause. Her selection suited her perfectly. Hers is a lovely bird-like voice, with bird-like execution. Her charming simplicity of manner is por trayed in her voice, which has a charm, of freshness and purity all its own. Her selection was a happy one, allow ing full scope for bravura work and coloring the most exquisite. Miss Oates had scarcely ceased to sing belpre a storm of applause rang through the house. She was compelled to give an encore. When it is remembered that she is a pupil of one year a beginner, as she might be termed her execution is indeed remarkable. Increased vol ume will come with study. Miss Connie Jones, who made her bow to home folks last week, was a?ain heard, and this time in the Jewel Sobg from Faust. She handled it in a mas terly manner, giving it the interpreta tion of Albani, rather thaji any other of the great artists who have mastered it. Miss Jones' voice is full of dramatic power and beauty. She was also com pelled to give an encore. Mrs. U. W. Bethel, a jrreat favorite-in former years, was heard with marked pleasure last evening. Her voice has lost none of its roundness and volume, but is rich aad full, as in former years. The playine of Prof, tiarrett and Miss Johnsie Bason on the violin. Prof Mayne on the piano, and Prof. Kebee on the cornet, added greatly to the success of the evening. K. and L. of II. Rev. W. P. Williams, deputy supreme protector of "The Knights and Ladies of Honor," will in a few days be in Charlotte to organize a lodpe of the order.

"In the Rush and Roll off CSrcymstaLnces" It becomes necessary to apply tbe AX to prices. It is not a sweeping reduction a tremendous slaughter a great crash or other uch "bosh" that we are instituting, for our prices from the first were very close. It is only because our stock is too large and does not move as fast as we would like, that we have decided to chop '-io to bSi percent off of our former prices on Spring Suits. What INIMITABLE BAR GAINS will be. created by this re duction many of vou will be well aware. For those who are not ac quainted with the low prices that always obtain m our establish ment, the followirg ia appended All wool black cheviot men's suits, $o; an wool oiacK worstea men s suits, $ 50; all wool black diago nal men's suits, $10 ; all wool black clay worsted men s suits, $8 50 These figafes represent a cut of 33 per cent., which, considered in connection with the fact that quality and make is guaranteed, would make a further insistence on the bargains offered an insult to your intelligence. All along the line prices have succumbed to the keen edge. Boys' all wool mixed cassimere and cheviot nuts cut from $8 to f 1.D8; 2.88 will buy a suit tbat was $8 50; $2 69 will buy a suit worth $4; $3.69 will buy a suit worth $5.

Replete with bargains as this department was even at former prices the present reduction brings out in bold xehef the fact that pa rents can clothe their children here at a mini mum cost, and this in addition to the highest exrtll-ence in quality, fetyte and make.

The old way says it won 'it do. Well, while we are doing it ronton and sell ing the goods the old timer is looking on, waiting, watching, expecting us to break and no doubt he botjestly thinks we will. While we are mastering tbe trade, pushine our business to the front, knowing no law except thsit of the very best possible values for thej least money, our trade grows and crows! Perhaps tbey are complaining that we are selhDir goods for less thtan they can buy them; fur less thanj they can be made, and it's the truth, we are. Take the ereat job of ladles' and misses' shoes bought last week at 50c. on! the dollar of the retail price. We guard our own in terests first by making t reasonable profit on them and we guard the inter est of buyer by selling them for less than he can possibly bay the goods elsewhere. k)1 course all this stock is going rap idly. We expected it would. We made prices 011 it for that purpose; and it's the same way with hundreds of other things that we are selling at half price that we 6y nothing about.

We don'fbuy goods unless they are cheap and we know perfectly well that piles of goods of all kinds pass over our counters daily that we can't duplicate at the prices through the old channels of 4 and 6 months dating on a credit. It's our point of victory no buy from the disasters of credit. It's the field we are occupying and we have sold thoa sands of dollars worth of goods to the citizens of Charlotte and Vicinity just as we are selling these shoes: and so long as we stay ia Charlotte snail con tinue to do it.
