An ,nterestinq Announcement.

We respectfully announce that our sec ond shipment of rugs bought by our MT Ald-el- k eriem as announced August otli has arrived and is on exhibition ana sale at our store This collection or rugs ls far superior to anything ever shown Tn the south This stock, you understand is sent direct to us from Persia by our own buyer who has an interest in our business works for no one but us, ana who spends his entire time traveling over Persia and other Oriental countries per sonally selecting rugs one by one TOT us
 We positively buy no left over stocks or unsalea ble goods disposed or Dy NeW York concerns, nor do we handle any consignment of goods. as Is usually done by so-called Oriental dealers in the south. We own what we have and are able to sell them at our own prices and not al the prices demanded by conslgnee'
 These consignments and leftover stocks must be very inferior as they nave been picked over by thousands or northern buyers and are finally disposed Of at their original value to dealers in the south and west.
 As we are direct importers we are able to save you the middle-man profit and our customers are the very nrst 10 se- feet from each importation as they ar rive from Persia.
 We would like very much to give list of prices. but Oriental rugs are not like the domestic, which are largely priced by their size. The price of an Oriental rug depends entirely on the weaving, the cooring and the design.
 We would be glad to prove our claims by having you come and personally in- spect our stock whether you wish to purchas SC or not Very respectfully,

The plans for the horse show are on such an elaborate scale and the enterprise has back of it so many of Birminghams most public spirited men that I think we should all contribute to the success of. the horse show. I want this even to rival the New York horse show, not only to be the greatest event of the kind that has ever been given in the south, but to possess the metropol- tan features that make the New York horse shows so brilliant and interesting socially

From this principle we cannot afford to vary by so much as a hands breadth.

It was ultimately as fatal to the cause of freedom whether it was the rich who op- pressed the poor or the poor who plum dered the rich. The crime of brutal disre- gard of the rights of others is as much a crime when it manifests itself in the shape of greed and brutal arrogance on the one side, as when 1t manifests itself in the shape of envy and lawless violence on the other. Our aim must be to deal Justice to each man: no more and no less. This purpose must find it's expression and support not merely in our collective action through the agencies of the gov ernment but in our social attitude Rich man and poor man must alike feel that on the one hand they are protected by law and that on the other hand they are re- sponsible to the law; for each is entitled
