Uncle Sam Spikes in company
with Coke Fullingim, Of Esta-
cado, made a trip to Petersburg
last week, and Mr.. Spikes states
that he never saw better crops
than they have between here and
Petersburg. Feed crops are as
fine as they can be and cotton
will make from a half to three
fourths Of a bale per acre.

 "There Is no reason why retailers cannot send our agents into Canada with authority to contract for the best dairy products, eggs and fresh veg etables if necessary. Shipment can be made direct to this market. The ef- feet of such course would be to force down the prices of American foodstuffs here.

Speaker Almon. chairman of the rules committee, then addressed the house, declaring that nothing in the resolution was intended as a reflection on Governor O'Neal and the administration. He stated, however, that the legislature intended to do its duty in all matters, and to think and act for itself. He concluded his remarks with a statement that he and the other mem- bers were hopeful that the administration would be a most successful one, and that the blanks of the democratic platform would be carried out This latter senti- ment was greeted with warm applause
 StOllenwercl< Makes Statement
 Then arose the originator of the orig inal, the representative of Tallapoosa, MT. Fuquay. He stated simply that the orig inal resolution was not intended to reflect on the governor or the administration.
 Then to cap the climax of the long and arduos debate, Representative Stolen werck of Montgomery took the floor, stat ing: "I regret that it becomes evident that we are not deliberative and business like body. I have realized the futility in debating a question to which there seems to be neither cause nor effect. We have much business of importance before us. I respectfully suggest that we get to it."
 Thus ended the lesson in the conclusion

 We retail grocers are planning. be- ginning April l, to do our own job ping, in which instance we could ar- range for shipments of foodstuffs by the carload direct from Canada to New York city. But this may not be neces- sary if the American creameries are willing to deal direct with us.
