prohibit. The ne-gallon-a-month
law should be killed, or go back to
the dispensary where our schools and
towns could derive some good from

force.
No fertilizer has been shipped to

as to get in some good fresh ground.
They seem to be early with their
plowing, as the yellow dirt can be
seen in nearly all fields now. Guess
they think that the old saying, The
early bird catches the worm,' is
true one.

wanted the bill recommitted. Mr..
Boyd. of Spartanburg, insisted that
the 2-cent rate bill was wrong at
this time.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone. Jr., made
sensible talk and urged that the
house lacked figures and exact data
on which to base such reduction.

wanted the 2-cent rate for the masses
and not for the two travelling assO-
ciations He did not blame the I. P.
