DRS. DOZIER X DOZIER. 1I7h N. 2lst Street. Birmingham. Ala

lie service is responsible for the present deplorable condition in the standard of living. The retail merchant Is not to blame for the high prices he charges for everything he sells He knows when Mrs. Jones, the wife of the blacksmiths helper. comes in to buy a cake of soap and a box of washing powder she wants 1t de- livered in his new red delivery wagon two miles away. Does he charge for this service? Of course he does. Mrs. Jones would be disgraced if she went trudging home with these packages In her hands
 When Mrs. Jones wants yard of pink ribbon she goes to the most exclu- sive department store in town and buys 1t. She pays the 6 cents required and or ders it sent out. She wouldn't miss hay ing the big black, gofd-lettered delivery wagon drive up to her door in the face of the neighbors for half her husbands s months wages. Does the merchant charge for this? Well, I should smile. He knows she is going to require this service before she buys the ribbon and he figures 1t into the price. Do you blame him?
 ''So it is all the way down to the small tradesman in the suburbs. He must have a brilliant delivery wagon and carry the goods home for his 'aristocratic custom CTS They will not carry a two-pound package of grits or half a peck of po- tatoes half block.
 
 the credit business When the absolute stranger goes into a store and offers to buy anything from a package of needles to haypress the clerk offers to charge 1t. It is habit. Of course the customer has 1t charged because he can.
 "All this runs the price up and yon can't blame the merchant for It. While I was a citizen of Birmingham I made $40 a month and me and my family tried to live as high as my boss. The same de- livery wagon that carried provender to his house brought cheese and grits to my house. The same wagon that carried faces and dress patterns to his house brought spools of thread and calico to my house. I paid my pro rata share Of this service expense. When I came to myself I tried to reform my family. The only way I was able to do 1t was to return to the woods and here I am. Good day, partner Come out to see me when you get tired and want real rest"
 Horse Creek got it's name from the creek that runs through the town. Dora was named for the most beautiful woman that ever lived In Walker county

CROP PROSPECTS
 ARE VERY POOR

Union Springs, July 11-(Special. .)-There has been little change in the crop pros- poets in Bullock during the past week, and the almost daily rains and little sum- shine during the week have had tau- dency to depress rather than cheer the farmer.
 One farmer says he rode 16 miles in the country yesterday and with the exception of the hands on his place he did not see a single person in the fields. A rain had fallen the evening before, and the negro was resting in his house or walking up the road. A few farmers from different parts of the county report their crop as coming out much and are hopeful of a half cotton crop and good crop of late corn. It is a conceded fact that the old corn crop is a failure.
 Many farmers are preparing to plant all falfa and Lookout mountain potatoes, hoping thus to make up for short cotton crop. The potato crop in the county is good and prospects for peas fairly good. Some hay has been cut and cured.

BARACA GLASS IS
 DOING GOOD WORK

Decatur, July 11.-(Special. )-The Baraca movement in Decatur and in New Decatur Is growing most rapidly, and Is accomp- fishing more for the churches of the two cities and the moral and religious up1ft- ing of the manhood of the Decaturs than any other religious movement has ever done here. There are a number of these classes of Baracas in the two Decaturs with a total membership of several hun dred boys. young men and aged men, representing almost every profession, trade and business calling of life. The Baracas stand not only for the moral and religious uplift of manhood, but they stand for the temporal assistance of mon as well, assisting them in illness and afio- ton, comforting them in times of sorrow and rejoicing with them in times of hap niness.
 The Baraca class of the Central Baptist church of New Decatur Is the largest class in the two Decaturs, and 1t is among the largest classes in the state.
