MONTGOMERY Advertiser Odell says that

| Columbia Breeze; There are but few
editors in our state who have not made
a vigorous and continuous fight against
| the city mail order house. This has been
| done in the interest of the home mer-
chant, and without money and without
price If the editors of the land had re-
| ceived regular advertising rates for all
they have said against these enemies of
the country merchants they could now be
wearing diamonds. Now the department
store man appreciates advertising space
and is willing to take all the average
country editor has for sale, and at a
| good price. What other class of business
or professional men would refuse business
to help their friends, especially as many
of said friends never seem in the least
disposed to return the complement or
J appreciate it?
