It was the consensus of opinion
of all those present that, the market
had hdp up the prices better this
year than ever before and the terri
tory for this market had ben evtend
od more ,than on any previous year.
No town has had this season any
better corps of buyers than the Tar
boro market has had, and the man
agers of the warehouses here have
labored hard to make the Tarboro
market all, that it should be, and it
is safe to say that these men have
oeen richly rewarded for their ef
forts.
This meeting last night was r. most

(By The Associated Press)
Mexico City, Nov. 28. The wo'
man's suffrage movement is making
some progress in Mexico, but high
government offlcials are inclined to
believe that the time is not yet ripe
to ( gi-antt the i franchise- to; women.
For several years a desultory propa
ganda to this' end- has been' conduct
ed here; but the movement received
its greatest impetus recently when
Rafael-Nicto, governor of ' the state
of San' Luis- Potosi and former sec-
retary of the treasury, ' submitted a
project to his state legislature pro
viding for woman suffrage.
Qovernr Nicto's action provoked
ranch discussion in the press, which
believes it wjll fail of passage. Sec-1
retary of Interior Calles stated re
cently to newspapermen that, altho
he strongly favors woman's suffrage
he is of the' opinion that a great deal
of . educational work must he done J
before it can be accomplished.
The state of Yucatan extended the
vote to women several years" ago,
but reports from that state say that
it has not been generally used.
