His proposition was designed to overcome this inequality. He maintained that the era of prosperity SO much sought would not come until it started with. the farmers.
 MT. Cannon spoke until shortly before o'clock and was followed by MT. But Ter, of North Carolina, who spoke of the heavy burdens the bill placed upon the farmer He favored MT.

TIE TRACTION SALE.

IL VIII be Large Purchase for Somebody.
The sale Of the plant and franchises of
the South Jersey Traction Company will
occur Friday afternoon, February 4th.
The sale will take place at the Court
House, ard will be conducted by ex-
Judge Pancoast, of Camden, who is
Special Master, appointed by Chancellor
McGill.
There is little doubt but that the sale
will involve bid of nearly two hundred
thousand dollars. and despite the dull
times there is likely to be lively bidding.
There are at least three syndicates, it is
said bythose in position to know, who
will be bidders for the property. Each of
these sypdicates have had experts here,
and they have gone carefully over the
road and examined the service in detail.
All of the experts have been impressed
] with the opportunities for the road. and
/ find that she Company has operated the
line in most economic manner.
! One of the syndicates who will bid for
the road is backed by unlimited capital,
and would greatly increase the capacity
of the road. 1t is the intention of this
com bination, if successful bidders, to buy
right of way and run through to Port
Norris, touching all of the small towns.
Also run north and connect with the
+, trolley line at Woodbury..
Another syndicate, said to be anxious
to get hold of the road, would like to have
road from Millvilie to Port Norris. 1t
may be that syndicate of the present
ockholders will also be bidders for the
plant.
