demonstrate that success in modern
Gotham has not weakened the ties
that bind these gentlemen TO the
kindly Southern town in which most
of them first saw the light.

A canning factory would be good
thing to establish here. 1t would be
especially profitable to the farming
community, and we know of no class
of persons more nearly interested in
originating and pushing forward such
an enterprise than our farmers. Let
them examine into the subject, and
we believe they will move to secure
such an industry.

81 to %, laid aside the force bill and
took up the financial bill, eight re-

to that end. The effect of this is to
make the financial bill the unfinished
business before the Senate and to rel.
egate the force bill to the calendar,
whence It can be rescued only by the
affirmative vote of majority of a
