the debate was opened by Re

bill because of the method by
which it was framed and an
nounced the Progressive party
program to be to "take the tar

in the hands of an impartial ta

first day the debate became a
rather listless affair, - and the
speakers addressed empty bench

just a little heat in discussing
free wool and free sugar, and
once or twice President Wilson
was rather coarsely criticised.
The income, tax which is a fea-
ture of the same law, has been
discussed also. Opportunity is

tloii the concern yesterday closed
WRi m cmd von with t,v
tion of an additional five 'years
on the Liberty Warehouse, locat
ed on Craghead street, where
they will conduct a .Warehouri
for the sale of leaf tobacco.
The names of , MrBrown!s as
sociates have not been divulged,
but it is known iherejwffl be two
and probably three others asso
ciated with him, all warehouse
men of experience from the Old
North State, and likely one or
more of them from Riedsville,
though this cannot - be stated
positively.
The Liberty Warehouse is own
ed by Mr. W. W. Barnard, of
with a new policy and has an
nounced its purpose not to loan
a dollar to the farmers, but to
make amends in this respect by
cutting the sale cost of the far
mers' tobacco 20 per cent, under
the regular warehouse charges
that have prevailed here and
elsewhece Jrt,anany jear.7yj
the intention of these gentlemen
to show the regular charges on
each account of sale and then
from the total deduct 23 per
cent., that the farmer may see
exactly what he saves on each
sale.
- There will be no departure
;f rom the old warehouse method
of doing business save those be
fore stated, namely,' to cut all
charges for selling tobacco 20
Per cent and not to advance any
money on crops or on crop time.
Mr. Fred W. Brown whose
name appears in the firm name,
is widely and popularly known
throughout' the Old North State
tobacco belt, contiguous to Dan
ville and has held several re
sible public positions. He was

the Bank of Yanceyville for one

connected wit Jr the Union Ware
Uhouse.of this city, all of which
positions he filled with credit to
himself .and satisfaction to those
he served.
Mr. Bron said yesterday that
while his company had not as
yet employed any help that they
would open the Liberty with the
approaching year ; with a force
including the proprietors who

Her devotion to her grandpar

their love on her in return. That

it was anvmore. She had been

She loved her church and was
