A FRESH EDITOR
Presumes to Set the Step for Birming-
-Hustlers

Mr.. Editor-Allow me space for
short reply to the structures of the "heavy
editor" of the Daily Mercury, published
at the little one-gallus Alabama town
called Huntsville Gor the reason that the
principal occupation of It's citizens is
hunting" doodles, l presume) in a lead
ing editorial which you reproduce in your
issue of the 26th,- in which this great
Huntsville Iuminary and disciple of the
pastepot and wieldar of the shears, takes
1T upon himself to NEEDLE in the business
problems of a great modern city, and
proceeds to champion the cause of the
great department store system, as con-
Quoted by Drennen 6, Co., of this city,
with all its attending evils of low prices
forced upon our people by the irresista-
BILE power of the almighty cash with
which the lynXeyed, ever watchful buy
ers of Drennen & Co. gobble UP every
thing that is forced on the market be-
low its value. The editor OF the Mercury
evidently believes in the survival of the
fittest, and has no sympathy for our
down trodden<>srgle~ line dealers, who
are compelled to buy on long time at
regular" prices and pay interest on bor
roWed money Of they can borrow. and
then pay high rents, clerk hire, lights
and other expenses, while they sir around
and wait for the customer who never
comes--but is gone to Drennen & Co.'S.
1t is this latter class that 1 am trying
to protect, and 1t Is strange that the ed
itor of the Mercury should not find it to
his interest to champion the same class,
as his town is made up of just such bust
ness men.
OF course l don't expect the people to
engage in a warfare on the department
stores, but If the Commercial club fails
to do its duty the courts can intervene by
injunction and stop the further demor-
alizaton of business.
AS the esteemed Montgomery Adver-
tiser saw fit to copy what the Mercury
has to say on this subject, trust its high
sense of justice Will induce 1t to give
equal publicity to this reply.
