Hotel Doing Business.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
Dear Sir-In your issue of this date,
under heading "Will Begin New Building
at Once" and other news items from
Talladega you mention that the "Ex-
change hotel, which has stood the storms
of 50 winters, will soon be demolished
and a United States government postoffice
built on its Site Now, the fact of the
matter is that 1 have a three years. lease
on this property and my second year has
just ended, so there is really no danger
of the hotel being demolished soon. But
be that as it may, the point is this: This
article and others along this line on the
same subject from time to time are cal
culated to damage my business at the
expense OF booming Ta1ladega. vThe i'm
preston received by all of the travelling
men whom I have seen that read the
article was that If establishment was not
already in progress it would be In a very
short time. Some have expressed sur
prise to come here and find the hotel
doing business at the same old stand.
Among the brotherhood of travelling men
news of this kind travels fast. Today
1 have had an avalanche of inquiries as
to whether I had to move out at once
and whether I'd be here when they re-
turned in 30 or 60 days, and whether 1t
would be safe to allow their mail to
come to the Exchange in future, and
dozens of other questions along this line.
I am sure that the above explanation
will enable you to readily see the position
in which am placed, and assuming that
you are an innocent offender, will do what
is in your power to rectify this error in
fact. Very truly yours,
e. G. CRowDER
