This is a mutter w ch should be loft entirely to t e producers and purchasers of lie stnple, and 1 therefore euggei that an election be held for a \eigher early in August and that ouy the farmers and the cotton buy?ts of the township be allowed to participate therein. What right ins the council of thin town to snjfwho shall weigh my cotton?
