shipments are delayed, and the ser

demoralized and unsatisfactory. Aske'

take the position that they don't want
1t bad enough to pay the price. ASKED

Main street of the town. A number
of leading citizens have had the mat

in the event Main or Railroad street

concrete road, Kings Mountain street
may follow in the same direction.
