conditions OF a general trade agreement. At
torney General Crow yesterday brought out
the statements of dealers ard former en-
pioyes of Nelson Morris & Co. that there
was an understanding between Swift Co.

McRoberts. and McRoberts would as often
get bills for my goods
Did not both houses have coolers on the
other side OF the river?" the witness was
asked.
They did. but they kept about the same
kind of stock. and often a buyer had to
come to this side to get what he wanted.
and IN order that one packer might not
have any advantage OF the other, I sup
pose, they had an agreement not to sell
from the coolers here to any one on the
other side

South Carolina Day a, the exposition.

!. f. . :.
The Exposition at Charleston
seems to be attracting great deal
OF attention from the people of the
country at large. Cincinnati and
Chicago have sent large delegations
there to inspect the show. The
Governors of Georgia, West Virginia
and Indiana have been there with
their staffs and others and all seem
to unite on one verdict, that it is as
creditable an Exposition as any held
in this country.
The Legislature of South Carolina
and the Governor of the State have
given .heir endorsement of the Expo.
Esition and urged that the people Of
the State visit the Exposition at least
once, and have named March Goth
as South Carolina Day, with the idea
that there should be grand rally of
South Caroiinians on the Exposi.
tion grounds on that day.
1t is South Carolina's first attempt
to show to the country at large the
industries, resources and possibilities
of the State. They have been well
displayed. Let us all go, and by our
presence show an appreciation and
interest In what has been done.
