It was all because of a car-load of
sugar which the Ware Shoals store had
received and agreed to divide with
neighboring firms. A number of
stores sent over yesterday and took
advantage of the generous offer, re
turning with sweet smiles that ex
piressed the nature of the cargoes they
hauled. The shortage hero was ma
terially relieved.
