H. Lancaster, of Baltimore, Md., and
Barnwell, has given then an optioit
on his Wall Street property and that
the transfer will be made as soon aa
the titles can be perfected. This
property includes the block of stores
and offices erected several years ago
and adjoins the old Lancaster Build*,
ing. It is understood that the pur
chase price agreed upon is $36,000.
The installation of this plant would
be a great asset to the town, which
would be made the distributing cen
ter for the surrounding country. For
the past several years the plant haa
been located at Allendale, being under
the management of Mr. C. L. Jordan.

that enforcement measure as a thing
for repeal. I believe there should be
