said Mr. Brown, “that the courze of

a thousand doliara to. a merchant or:

in respect to the gina of the State
generally, I have found that their po
sition Is a vary reasonable one. For
instance. In my county, I had a eon-
venation the other day with ono of
the blgges tglnners. He takes the
DOBitton that his gin is thero to serve
the pecple when they want the serv

three notices by ‘we the citizens of

mya that wonld nave been entirely
uncalled for because, If the -people of
the community had held an open mass
meeting to discuss this situation, and
that taass meeting by action of a ma-
icrity of the farmers bad adopted a
resolution raying they did not want

would simply, of their owp accord, and
on such action by 'a mass meeting,
have closed down until that. time. On
tUe other hand, so long as the farm

their cotton and offer It for ginning. It
Is the duty of the gin. as a public

It Appears from.such Information aa
can be gained on the subject that the
