Must Drop Costs.

Regardless of whether or not a merger
can be effected in the near future. it is
car fares dropping below cents until
there has been a drop in operating costs
Certain economies in the way Of reduced
overhead expenses would result from q
combining Of the traction interests. but
these would not be sufficient, it is be-
lieved, to make any difference in the rate
of car fare.
Oficials closely in touch with the situ-
alton are convinced a 7-cent rate is the
minimum rate that can be expected until
there is q reduction in the wage scale Of
the companies. 1t is believed that after
wages have come down the rate Of car
fare will drop to four tickets for a quar-
ter.

FAMILY BECOMES ILL
FROM PTOMAINE POISON

Mr. |. l.. Pilkinton, local hardware
dealer, and two of his children, James
and Elizabeth, aged and years
respectively, were i'll from ptomaine
poison last Saturday afternoon and
night, due to eating hog souce for
dinner Saturday. All three were af-
fected at about 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon and became violently i'll.
They readily responded to medical
treatment, however, and all we're
much mpoved by Sunday morning
and were entirely well by Monday.
Mr.. Pilkinton butchered hog. be-
fore the recent mild weather and
it is thought that the poisonous con-
dition Of the souce was caused by
a slight souring of the meat, which
was not pronounced enough to be
noticeable.

BANKRUPT STOCK
ORDERED RESOLD
DIFFERENCE IN OPINION OF
BIDDERS CAUSES REFEREE
TO ORDER RESALE.

A large number of bidders were
present when the bankrupt stock OF
the Farmers Mercantile Co. Of this
city was put on sale by Receiver Lem
ley Wednesday morning and bidding
was active. Owing to a contention
q. on the part of Attorney W. S. At
kins, who said he represented the
majority OF the creditors, and Mr.
Ross Gillespie of the Doyle-Kidd
Dry Goods Co., two bidders on the
stock, Receiver Lemley did not an
nounce the successful bidder, but
told both parties to turn in certified
checks for the amount of their bid
and to appear before Referee Pope
at Texarkana Thursday morning,
when he would put the matter be-
fore him for a decision. At this hear
ing, Referee Pope ordered a resale Of
the bankrupt company's assets, fix
ing Jan. 10th as the date Of sale.
At the opening Of the sale We'd
nesday, Receiver Lemley announced
that he would first receive bids on the
stock, invoicing about $l3,000.00, and
the Sl6,000.00 in outstanding ac-
counts together, later offering the
two items separate, and the sale
would be made in the manner which
aggregated the larger amount. |. j.
Rapan, representing the stockholders,
was the successful bidder when the
two items were offered together at
figure of $S,101.00 The stock of mer-
chandise was then offered separate
and Mr.. Gillispie made a bid of s5,-
10000, which was not raised. The
accounts were then offered separate
and Mr.. Rapan was the highest bid
der at $2,605.00. Mr.. Atkins then
made bid of $s,225.OO on both items,
but Mr.. Gillispic contended that the
bidding was closed and sale made.
As Referee Pope has ordered
resale, il will now be necessary for
both merchandise and accounts to be
aFain sold.
