Mr.. Bundrick showed your corres-

at it, especially if he is buying corn

We think that in the way distant
past we heard, or thought we heard,
that South Carolina had state geo.
logist. Can you tell us, Mr.. Editor
and member of the legislature, what
has become Of him, and what he is do

funds the public ought to hear from
him once in awhile at least.
While in Columbia last week we
heard it stated several times that the
much exploited Public Service Cor
poration was none other than the
Southern Railway and that they were
getting these franchises to shut out
any other company that might mean
business. They would shut out Or
cut off trolley competition. Towns
should look closely into the privileges
thew vote away. We heard this and
more too. We pass the above on for
what it is worth. ..
