RETURN AFTER MANY YEARS

MIR. j. M. Black, a prominent farme
of Buffalo Mills, this county, Friday
received quite surprise. He was &C.
costed by two strangers who were driy-
ing buggy; they endeavored to sell
him some farming machinery and
finally asked that he feed their horse.
and give them dinner To the latter
proposition be said he would consult
his wife and the strangers walked to
the porch and made themselves at
home. Mr.. Black thought the face of
one of them looked familiar to him and
requestedhi wife to bring him photo
graph of his brother who lived in the
West. From that he recognized one
of the men to be his brother, Charles
Black, who lived in Nebraska, but did
not know the other man as he was
complete stranger TO him. He found
out; that the other man was also his
brother, Rufus Black, who had left this
county in 1877 with Charles and they
are now located near North Bend,
Nebraska. They were visiting Their
native county for the first time in %
years, and had changed so much that
their brother, j. Nj. Black, did not
recognize them.

Owing to an insxcusab.e blunder on
the part of our Presbytery, our pastor
elect has not yet been installed, and, in
consequence, is not authorized to adj
minister the sacraments. We are trying,
however, to keep cool, and are more

long as we are kept in this shape.
A thorough renovation has taken
place in our Sabbath School, by which
the While school has been graded and
the classes all arrangedto suit the ad-

been instillel into the work and we are
looking for much good as the result.
The assignments have been made for
our public schools and whether our
board acled wisely or not. I am not, as
a disinterested party, the one to say
but, as usual, we have quite an amount
Of dissatisfaction. Doesn't it require a

A Matter of Storm centers.

An innocent little paragraph in, these col
Umns mentioned the prosperity of Biz
mingham, Huntsville and TaIladega. There
was nothing exclusive in the paragra phi.
The three towns were not named as the
storm centers of prosperity, but as plain
storm centers, leaving The people to name,
if they would, hundred other towns.
This paragraph has been the subject of
considerable discussion, particularly In
Tuscaloosa and Admission. IL has been in
timated that Birmingham is jealous OF
both. or that proximity renders it best
on the part of this town to slight both.
This position is wholly imaginary, because
wholly incorrect. Increase of population
and population and prosperity and wealth
in Tuscaloosa or Admission is better to this
town than like increase would be In Mo-
bile or in Huntsville, because proximity and
ease of communication would give this
town slice of that prosperity. We would
share it, and Birmingham therefore hopes
to see every town in or near this district
gather ali pOSSlDle wealth. ana pOpulatlOn.
1t wants prosperity to fairly swarm in their
streets. 1t rejoices in every factory To-
Gated in or near them. Prosperity in any
part of Alabama is good, but prosperity
near at hand is better.
The Age-Herald mentioned Birmingham,
Huntsville and Talladega in one breath,
because they are each and all striving to
establish additional factories. Alabama
must be made an industrial, as we'll as an
agricultural state, and the towns that do
the most In that direction are entitled to
great credit. Admission and Tuscaloosa and
Florence are also bravely fighting for in
dustrial success. and no paper will more
quickly or more gladly record their success
than The Age-Herald.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-08-22

buying favors from legislatures and con-
gress and courts wholly regardless of the
interests and wishes of the people.
The nature of American trusts is shown
when an attempt is made to take duties
from articles that are freely sold by them
in the markets of the world The attempt
Is resisted to the utmost; and the republic
can party is utilized in defeating such at
tempts Why is this? 1t is simply because
the trusts in such cases want exorbitant
profits at home, while they market any
surplus abroad at the worlds prices Ex-
eessive profits on watered stocks are to
be extracted from home consumers through
the operation of an iniquitous tariff, while
any surplus Is to be worked off in other
lands at reasonable prices. The entire tar
iff-trust scheme in this country is based
on the robbery of home consumers. It is
not so in England, and this explains the
difference between the harmless English
trusts and the robber trusts of America.
