well as of profound knowledge,

ber of years past been generally
regarded as one of the leading
members of the local bar. Mr..
Landrum was not only a fine
lawyer but a gifted racounter,
and at social gatherings often
regaled.his friends with brilliant

This report came in letter which conta ined the most favorable accounts of the alleged strike. There Is one remarkable fact which should i,e taken into account ln connection with this strike and that is that the news of 1t came from several differ ent sources at the same time. That might be very good sign or 1t might be something else.
