Progress has again laid its vandal hands
ON a time honored relic of old Tusca-
loosa. This is the old brick and mortar
block that has stood SO long at Fried
man & Rosenau's corner that the MEM
DRY of man runneth not to the contrary.
This block was made especially inter-
esting by the legendary fact that it was
the public place where slaves were sold
before the war, when traders passed
through the town.
1t has been pointed out with particular.
interest to all northern visitors to the
city and one of the professors at the uni
versity who halls from the north had il
photographed not long ago, sending SOU
Venir pictures of the old slave block to
his friends in the north. There is an
old negro mere in town who claims thai
he well remembers having been sold by
his old master from this block. The
truth of its history as slave block has
been disputed, however, by some of the
older residents.
DIR. w. S. Wyman, the we'll known
antiquarian, states that in his knowledge
the block was never used, but was
originally placed where it is as an at
tractive seat for guests of the old Wash
ington hall. The upper portion of the
block, he states, was added later. and
has since been used mainly for adver.
Using purposes. However, all this may
be, it was a unique and interesting struc-
ture and we'll served as a basis for i'm
aenative people to elaborate in wha tever
particular they preferred in pointing it
out to strangers.
Its demolition is an incident to the i'm
provement that Rosenau Brothers are
making in what is known as the AT
lanta Store"

Fixes the Price Of a Kick.

For being booted out of the Ameri-

cause or provocation Charles Young
of Swanton has been awarded dam
ages Of so and costs, assessed against
NJ F. Spencer, proprietor and ac-
cessory before the fact and Samuel
Major, general hanger-on and bouncer.
1t appears that Young, having lost the
last car for home, went into the Ameri-
can House Office and asked for a room,
that instead of being given one he was,
at the order Of Spencer grabbed by Major,
run rapidly to the door and that said
Major as a farewell planted his boot
where he thought it would do the most
good, in the making of a rapid exit
Spencers defence was that Young en-
tered the house with other parties whom
he thought undesirable and thinking him
one of them, Spencer ordered him out.
The case was tried by jury before
Justice Gates and a verdict retumted as
above. No appeal was taken and the
price Of kick is now established.

MEAT PRICES TO SOAR.
Chicago Packers Issue Notice to Com
mission Firms.

Chicago Packers Issue Notice to Com
mission Firms.
Meat prices in Chicago may jump sky
ward. The packers notified the commits
sion firms they no longer would stand the
loss on condemned cattle and in order to
protect themselves they had found 1t
necessary TO refuse payment on Cow
stuff" until it had passed the government
inspectors
During the latter part of the last week
thousands of letters and kilograms were
sent out by the commission men to their
customers notifying them of the action
that had been taken by the packers and
advising them TO withhold all shipments
of cattle to the big markets controlled by
the trust until the difficulty is adjusted
This is expected to cut the meat supply
tremendously and prices are expected to
go up correspondingly.
Commission men declare ii is the in
tention of the packers to enforce the rule
with regard TO Cow stuff" now in the
hope that similar action may be taken
later with reference to their purchases of
sheep and hogs.
Some of the leading commission firms
and shippers have communicated with
the secretary Of agriculture at Washing
ton with regard to the new action on the
part of the packers and it is said as
surances have been given that any at
tempt TO delay payments on live stock
as threatened by the packers would re-
suit in the withdrawal of the inspection
service.
