COMPETITIONS IS LTBERTT, THE
TRUSTS, ENsLA FEMENT.


Where there is competition between
producers the purchaser is reasonably
certain TO obtain his supplies at fair
and just prices. This pri acple be-
tween the seller aud buyer is too well
understood and recognized in all com
munities to admit % argument. This
being absolutely incontroyertible from
any business point OF view and uni.
versally recognized the world over
as true, IL seems the strangest and
most incongruous thing In existence
that party which openly encourages
and by statutory enactments protects
monopolies and trusts whose object
and purpose is to destroy this compe
tion, can have a following among the
people. Nothing but pa tisan preiu-
dice born In Ignorance and abject
slavery 10 degraded sentiment can
explain u. The Republican party, or
rather its leaders, are bound hand and
foot 10 these trusts, and they dare not
seek release from the shaekles. A
Republican senator or o Republican
leader may once and awhile cry out at
the sin which they have put upon the
people, in fear OF the loss Of local pres,
tige, but beyond this they dare not 90.
They cannot uncoil the serpent whose
baleful grip is fastened around them,
and whose pound Of human flesh they
are pledged to see paid ia FULL

GRAND OPENING OF
JACOBS PHARMACY
Important Event in Business Circles of the
City-Beauiiful Establishment Wis.,
tied by Many Persons.

An event of unusual interest to the pub
lie, and one which is of no little Importance
| to the drug trade of this city and section
| was the opening last night of Jacobs phar-
| macy at the corner of First avenue and
Twentieth street The opening was a sue
cess in every particular The hours We're
from to Il, and during the entire time
| there was continuous tream of visitors
| to the establishment.
The display as elaborate as the
| space of the first floor would permit, was
! artistically arranged, and served as a true
| index of the mammoth stock that this
| mammoth concern has provided for its Ala
| bama patrons.
| The goods that make up a drug business
! complete were shown, and on every hand
were seen evidences of strictly modern, up
to-date business methods. From the POSI-
tons of proprietary medicines on the
shelves, extending from base to ceiling
and protected by sliding glass doors, to the
placing of the finest toilet goods, richest
perfumes, etc, in the handsome plate-glass
show cases, there was exhibited artistic
taste and skilled training.
1t was made quite plain that this store
which marks such an important epoch in
the history of Birmingham drug business
is in capable hands. AS a matter of fact
every department Is in the charge of men
of experience and capabilty, having been
selected with an especial view to their fit
ness and qualifications for the positions
to which they were assigned.
While Jacobs Pharmacy of Atlanta is
claimed as the birthplace of cut prices and
a claim which the proprietors stoutly insist
applies with equal truth to their Bfrming-
ham house, still cut rates is not their only
prominent feature. One of the chief char
aeteristics of the Messrs. Jacobs is their
Uniform courtesy to their patrons and
promptness in serving their customers
and they demand the same of all their en-
ployes
That they have a courteous and obliging
corps of statesmen will be testified to by
every one of the hundreds who attended
the opening last night The gentlemen in
charge manifested enthusiasm in the
work just begun that can emanate from no
other source than the assurance of sue
cess.
Grambs' orchestra, seated in the rear OF
the store furnished music for the occa-
slon The reasons for the opening of the
business in Birmingham nave been stated
nm The Age-Herald, and need not be re-
peated here. Suffice 1t to say, however,
tklat the coming of Jacobs Pharmacy to
this city means lower prices, ead for that
should and will receive a liberal share of
the patronage of the people of Birmingham
and Alabama.
The store is under the able MANAGEMENT
OF Mr.. Eugene Jacobs, assisted by Mr.
Arnold Masberg, Mr. ]. o. Booton, Mr. S.
M. Lay and Mr.. David Jacobs.

present, and other practical men.

ANOTHER FESTIVAL
WILL BE HELD IN MAY
Mendelssohn's "Isiijah" VIII be Given Pro-
fessor Guckenberger Will Arrange
the Musical Details

At meeting of the May Music Festival
association, held yesterday afternoon at the
Conservatory of Music, it was decided that
a festival should be held next May on a
grander scale than ever.
The meeting was called by President
James Bowron and was attended by e.
Lesser, B. Steiner, B. Guckenberger and
others. After a thorough discussion it was
decided to place The arrangements of all
musical details in the hands of Professor
Guckenberger, who is the director.
Mr.. Guckenberger stated to the meeting
That he wished to give Mendelssohn' 3
"Elijah" at the festival This proposition
was unanimously endorsed.
Mr.. George w. Stewart, manager of The
Boston Festival orchestra, is in Birming
ham. 1t is understood that he and Mr..
Guckenberger closed an engagement for
next May
1t is also understood that the festival
will be on a far broader line than that of
last May, when the guarantors were re-
leved after the receipts reached $1,000.
