IS II REALLY SO 2. Is There To Be a Combination
 or Trust in the
NECESSARlES OF LIFE
In the City of Birmingham Have the People Any Rights Which Should Be
 Considered ?

MT. Editor:-In an article in yester- days Evening News, it is stated that a certain agent of a four house ill our city refused to sell the department stores on any terms. because they proposed to re- duee the price of flour, as they had done every other kind of goods. Can this be true? Are we to have a combination or trust in our midst to "bull' the prices of the necessities of life, and that at time when our people are least prepared to pay eXorbitant prices? Has it come ito a pass when the people have no rights which are bound to be respected? It is high time that the people who have So long ard so patiently submitted to the old style high priced system of doing busi- ness should inquire into this matter and decide for themselves if they are to con- tinue to be made a convenience of by the so-called Legitimate" dealers, who are seeking to gag the great dspartme mt stores in their efforts to put down the prices of goods to correspond to the hard times.

Visits the City But the Democratic Chair
 man Would Not Talk Politics.
 Hon. John B. Knox, of Anniston, reached the city last night on his return home from a business visit to Selma. He was met by a State Herald representa- tive at the Morris, who at once drew his kodac for a picture of the democratic chairman with the hope of following same with an interview. But in this he was fooled. Col. Knox simply remarked that the attention of the people now is directed to business interests and so far as he knew politics is taking rest. 'The old vessel, however, is in ship shape" he ventured and democracy will float the waters again as majestically as she has on more occasions than one after suffering defeat" However, he was not talking politics now, but law. and if any thing was wanted on the subject of fish, ing, he had also been giving some atten- ton to the piscatorial tribe, and might give out few lessons on this subject, but as Birmingham is we'll up on this issue. discussion was considered unneces- sary.
