our history when we were not glad to
see the representatives of the South. We
hope to make our relations more neigh

realize the South is the greatest mission
field for commerce in the world. We rec
ognize that commerce is inspired by the
hope of profit and not sentiment. The
South produces two thirds OF all the cot
ton in the world and makes very little
of the finished product.

An appeal was taken to the Supreme

Judge Council fixed the amount of bail
at $4,000 for Howard and Hayley and

disclose the fact that he had any part in

to remain in the woods with the gold
