Before l close allow me TO mention
onc-vcs the most important OF all-the
Tidewater Electric road 70 Richmond.
For the year 1898 we are told by the
farmers from the Tidewater section that
100000 In freight alone was taken 20
the city Of Baltimore. What Goes this
mean2 II 100000 were the charges in
freight what has become OF the money
sent In exchange for merchandise2 Well,
our farmer friends. II Is supposed, wrote
to Baltimore for hardware, groceries,
shoes. clothing. &c. and no money or
checks came back. The Richmond mer-
chants will do well 10 look into this mat
ter. assist the Young Mems Business
Association IN their work. and the mer-
chant will Zoe well paid for his trouble.
Baltlmore's travelling men are doing all
they can 10 defeat this road. Surely this
Is food for thought.
This new road would mean thoisan ds
