Each state and each cotton
farmer will be assigned a quota:
Any cotton produced in excess OF

Senator Josiah Bailey, d., n.

GAS RATE CUT
AUTHORIZED
Action Taken by Commits
sion at Request Of Caro-
lima Central Co.

w. o. Croft, manager of the
Carolina Central Gas company
announced today that he had re-
ceived an order from the State
Corporation Commission which
provides for a reduction of ~
cents in the price of gas per thou
sand feet, when consumption IS
between 500 and 5000 feet.
The new schedule, Mr.. Croft
said, is the result of request
made by the gas concern, for OF.
fetal permit for the reduction OF
rates to the consuming public.
The old rate on gas which Is
superseded was:
First 500 feet, $3.50, gross.
Next 4,5OO feet, or from 500
feet to 5000 feet, $1.90 gross.
All over 5000 feet, $1.lo
gross.
The new rate schedule pro-
vides:
First 500 feet, SLIGO gross.
Next 1850 feet, $1.6O gross.
All over 5000 it., S1.1O gross;
By comparison of the second
items in the above schedules, 1t
will be seen that consumers OF
between 500 feet and 5000 feet
will in future pay rate of 80
cents cheaper than formerly. This
reduction, it was said, affects a

Relief rolls reached an all-time
peak of 4,700,000 on April 1,

Hopkins attributed the increase
to the rapid exhaustion of none

been unemployed during the ma

That figure is equal approximate
ly to 100000 persons. Hopkins
said the figure in March, 1888,
