Against all opposition, Richland, Conservative beyond dispute, Isas voted to divide the ticket with the re- , formers, for the Constitutional Don- ! vention.

No wonder there is dissatisfaction on the part of the shippers of fruit and vegetables to Northern and Wes tern markets when false returns of sales are made to shippers. These returns are often made to suit the convenience of the commission mer chant, if we are to judge from inves tigations recently made. While there are no doubt honest merchants who handle southern pro ducts, there must be others who make their business a means of sys tematically swindling the very men upon whom they are dependent for an honest living.
