thu hen being able TO supply a true

that is supposing she ~ heavy layer.

question has barely beeh touched upon

these will become vital matters. for we

three tobacco warehouses and other prop
city aggregating 100000 in value. So

thoroughly did they do their work that
the people of the place had no chance to
offer resistance The store windows we're
broken in and the plant of the Dewspa-
per favorable to the tobacco trust was
demolished. For the motives of the raid
was to get even with the warehouse men
who had refused to join the Farmers As
ISOLATION and had dealings with the trust.
Several of these men were beaten with
switches and one man was shot, a brake
man who was trying to get his train

distance but were outnumbered Next
day Gov. Beckham orde ed a company of
militia to the scene TO aid Sheriff Smith.
Investigation is to be rigid.

stand in a corner with his hands up.
While two of the robbers watched Brown

Holiday buying has had the center of
the stage. and retail business has felt very
perceptibly the influence of the spirit of
the season. While much more marked
than some time ago, however, the volume
of retail buying as whole is not up TO
expectations, and is certainly well below
year ago at this date Sentiment as to
the outlook for trade next year is very
mixed.
Conditions in financial circles are still
slowly but quite surely approaching nor
NAL. From the country at large there
is reported continued easing up of the
situation as regards cash payments, and
several cities are practically on a cash
basis
A very favorable feature in the present
period of repression is the tendency to-
ward enlargement of our export trade.
This is most notable in the grain trade.
