the white Republicans about the benefit
that will , result from the dropping of
the negro li mere bosh; that the white

licans. Auditor W. . 9ole of Mississippi it
here. He wu asked why his State had
few or no cotton mills and said It wu

Attorney Warner to begin proceedings
against the Beet TrnsV4 ZT
For the first time in over .a year'Jthey
failed to-day to issue a uniform schedule
of prices. The Cndahy Packing Company
Bclrwarsechlld A Sulzberger, the Armour
Packing Company and Nelson, Morris &
Co. all increased the price of beef in the
carcass cent while the Fowler Packing
Company and Swift Packing Company
made no change. ' V V '! '
The same concerns which raised beef
i cent raised provisions that that Is ham
bacon, lard, etc-1 cent while the - other
two issued no new schedule of prices.'
, The butchers believe that It is merely a
ruse for the purpose of making the
public believe that there la no agree,
ment regarding the prices, ' and think
that Fowler and Swift will soon follow
In the footsteps of their competitors.
