a good vote was cast.
No man ever helped to build up
his town by running 1t down, nor by
inviting comparisons with other

mers from one end of the South TO

view to enforcing this right on all
1910 markets.
One of the heaviest rains this Sec
tion has had in many months began

ued eff and on all night and the
next day. 1t must have reached all
sections Of the county.

It has been stated that the shows

We want to see the price OF all
things made ont Of cotton jump ev-
erytime the price Of cotton jumps
Unless it does the spnners will be
forced out OF business, as they cam
not afford to pay higher price for
cotton than they get for their man
ufactured products. So we stand
for high price cotton and for high
price cotton goods of all kinds. That
spells prosperity for the South.
