This will cut out or eliminate many un

and their expenses and protlts may be
added to the price to double the grow

Not only will co-operative market

Senator Person, who was the first

halt which pas&ed revaluation. For
that reform and all others in Bickett's
reign the colonel has only hatred. He
started to come back here last year on
a repeal Bickett platform, but a much
better unknown man got In his way.
The Loulsburg senator this morning
had a few broken remarks to submit
on revaluation and the public waate

Carolina had not paid the principal an
any bonds since the war between the
states and that 1M1 general assembly
had passed a ?50.000.00o lame which
