a few stimulating incidents this
week. Tuesday a mule of the
Maxton Livery Company ran

Chief Ma ynard, charged it with

ed as the official classification of
the government. the committee
of expert cotton classification
designated by the Secretary OF

once, they should not go into
effect until September Ist, 1910

forts should be made to secure
