It i understand it right. there
are two Amendments to the State
Constitution to be. voted on at the

very important that every voter
should cast his vote for these
Amendments. The first is for a
SIX CO. monthspublic school to be

Carolina, which will be Of great
benefit to the children Of the State.
The second one is for the poo..
fellow who is striving to buy a
home. It will esable him to bor-
row money at a cheap rate Of IN
terest. This plan proposes to
have the law so where man

this kind, because he will really
get more interest at $3.50 than
he would at go or 10. because
his notes are not taxed. Il he
loaned money at go and was
taxed go year, You see he
would only get $50, under this
law he gets $50 clear, so the man
who wishes to buy a home can
easily do SO and get long time

vote for this Amendment and help

not shink that because the gas com

by people who, like everybody else
want the best price they can obtain
for what they have to sell. They made
certain representations upon which
they base their request for a raise in

found to be just and reasonable their
request should be granted; if they dc
