serious injury to the worthy and pre-
dominant class-the agriculturalists-
we protest.

order everywhere up"n the great sue
cess thus far achieved, and we appre-
ciate and thank those merchants of
Edgecombe and Nash counties who
refrained from taking sides against us
by loading up with trust bagging, but
who aided us in this fight by procur-
ing for US many of the substitutes
now in USE"
