To men who had borrowed money when
wheat was worth one dollar bushel, Mr..
Bryan's argument of last year, when wheat
had fallen to fifty cents bushel, that since
wheat and other commodities had depre.
ciated to half their former value 1t would
be an honest proposition for them to pay
of their debts in fifty.cent dollars, seemed
rational and equitable. This he claimed
would not work hardship upon the cred
itors, because with their fifty-cent dollar
they could still buy bushel Of wheat; bu,
since wheat has advanced to one dollar and
other farm commodities have largely adj
vanced, they see the fallacy of his argu'
ment, an evidence of which is in the vas,
number of mortgages and other debts which
are rapidly being paid of.

SITES DONATED BY THE CITY
Joseph Blackwell, Postmaster at Zula, Ran a
Blind Tiger In Connection With His
Governmental Duties. -.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Florence, Ala, Feb. 9.-There is every
prospect that Florence will in the near flu
ture have cotton seed oil mill and a fac
tory for the manufacture of cutlery and
hardware. The first is now pretty well
assured. Mr.. c. w. Ashcraft, formerly of
this city, but now of opelika, together with
some Atlanta capitalists, is interested in
the establishment of the concern, and Is
receiving much encouragement. The Bush
ness league has had proposal from Bos-
ton company for the establishment OF the
cutlery and hardware factory, and has Of
fered to donate site free, with free water
for one year and exemption from all state,
county and city taxes for ten years.
The Florence Business League is now in
correspondence with the traffic manager
of the St. Louis and Tennessee River Pack
ct company, relating to the establishment
of a freight office in this city. The MEM
bers of the business association are enthu-
siaStic over the prospect, as 1t means ire
quently saving of many dollars TO man
ufacturers and business houses in the ship
ment of goods by river This Is next to
impossible now, on account of having no
permanent freight office in the city. The
Louisville and Nashville railroad is also
contemplating the building of sidetrack
from its depot to the wharf for the purpose
of making the transfer of freight from the
river to the railroad an easy matter.
