o'clock on the first morning the suffrage
municipal market IN Aiken was opened

prices are always maintained. Perish

suffrage markets. In certain towns
the women have enga ged to take a

brought In. The workers solicit and ill

to put up in water glass all eggs tina

money for community use in some In

"A similar idea Is governing the suf
