Trade in Your Own Town.

The Athens Banner delivers q lecture on
the duty of the people to buy their goods
from the home merchant. That paper
speaks in behalf of the merchants, and the
necessity Of building up the home town.
All Of this is very we'll, and to which we
do not object.
But the Press and Banner would urge
people to trade in their W towns Tor very
different reasons from those assigned by
the Athens Banner. Our experience Is
that it is to the interest Of the buyers to
trade in his own town. AS a rule the
buyer can get in his town store all that he
wants, and he can make more satisfactory
selection and at lower cost than the lar
o~ff-bought goods. If a buyer drops into a
store in a strange city, he is not KNOWN
except as a stranger, and it is more than
probable that the salesman has a lot OF
hard stock which he wants to get OH. Ihe
price to q stranger in a strange store may
be higher and the goods OF a shoddy or ou'
Of date quality. In a strage city store the
clerks may have neither time nor incll-
nation to give a stranger that attention
which a home clerk would give. The
home buyer and the home seller are
known to each other, and a reputable
store could not afford to cheat a neighbor.
It IL very seldom that this writer ever
buys any thing out OF Abbeville, and II
we ever made a satisfactory purchase out
of this city we have forgotten the fact.
EXCEPT in case Of necessity we never buy
any thing out OF Abbeville.
This course is namely due to the fact
that we can get more satisfactory pur-
chases at more satisfactory prices at home
than we can get abroad.
We speak in the interest Of the buyer,
more than in the interest OF the seller
when content that it is better to trade
with men whom we know and who knows
us. AS a rule home merchants are not
going to cheat their neighbours, n Will
not try to work off on them the goods
which would not give satisfaction.
It is true however, that Some people will
send their money in exchange for goods
that they have not seen, and it Is also true
that such people often get cheated.

 Against the Amendment.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

J. Lee Long, campaign manager against the constitutional amendment, reached Birmingham from Montgomery last night, and immediately began plans for a great rally to be held in Birmingham within the next two weeks
 T will be in conference with E. D, Smith, member of the executive commit tee from Jefferson county, and Jesse Stallings of the campaign committee, and we will decide tomorrow on the date of the Birmingham rally. We will determine whether to include in the call the other counties of the Ninth district, or to con- fine it to Jefferson. There is no question but that the meeting will be the largest and most representativ ever held in Bir- mingham.
 We will also decide while I am here on plans of campaign for this part of tho state. The amendment is very unpopular in the Ninth district and I believe that every day of the campaign will bring us more votes"
 MT. Long stated that as yet the full plans for the campaign are undeveloped. Special committees are at work arranging for speakings throughout the state J. s. Williams of Barbour is at headquarters in Montgomery and is keeping track of the movements on the hustings. Former Representative Shafer of Dallas, Attorney Lapsley of Montgomery and Eugene Brown are busily engaged at headquarters and will keep things humming until MT. Longs return.
 MT Long yesterday sent this letter out to the various cities and towns of the state:
 Montgomery, Ala, September %, 1909
 Dear Sir-You, of course, know that we are going to need some money to pay the necessary expenses incident to the campaign, and to that end I would thank you to immediately take up subscrp- tion and send in the amount collected to me. There is no doubt but that the peo- pie of Alabama are opposed to the amend ment but the campaign committee feels that it will be necessary to have consider able printing done, and that 1t will be the wise thing to canvass and organize every precinct in the state in order to make doubly sure the victory which is now so certain. Yours very truly,
 J. LEE LONG,
 Chairman Campaign Committee.

AHfo Road To Capital
 Is 1He Latest Suggestion

to make trip from Birmingham to Montgomery in an automobile. Quite a number of Birmingham people have at- tempted to make 1t and only a small per- centage managed to reach their destina- ton without some serious damage to their machines. Quite a number found the way so bad that they turned around. came back and went down on a train.
 A wide roadway, properly oiled, is what is proposed. oil experiments recently made in Birmingham have shown that a waterproof road, elastic but firm, ab- solutely free from dust and with the ap- pearance of asphalt can be had at min imum cost.
 The route of the road would lie after leaving Jefferson county through Shelby, Chiffon and Autauga counties or Talla- dega, Coosa and Elmore It might be that the line could be routed in a dif- rem way through these counties. and this would make the competition great be- tween the counties for securing the road
 County officials and other persons hav- ing knowledge concerning the roads in these various counties which would serve as part of the route to Montgomery are requested to communicate such informa- tion to The Age-Herald. The building of such a road, 1t is pointed out, Is mutual affair." and takes the cooperation of everyone to put 1t through. That the people of Alabama are wild over good roads and automobiling is an undeniable fact Everyone talks good roads and 1t Is hoped that this talk can be put into concrete form.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE,
Well Known Young People Are United and Leave for Spokane.

Quite romantic was the runaway mar riage yesterday afternoon of Miss Ethel Evers, a High school pupil, daughter of MT. R. J. Evers of Beverly Place, and MT Carl w. Johns, the son of Col. Lewellyn Johns of Powderly.
 A runaway marriage had been planned for 10 clock this morning by the young couple. The marriage license was secured yesterday morning, however, and publica- tion of it in the afternoon papers resulted in a sudden hastening of the tying of the matrimonial knot.
 Miss Evers and MT. Johns had been up town yesterday afternoon. They parted late in the afternoon and the young lady boarded West End car for her home. Mr. Johns while reading a paper a few minutes later, read a notice of the ls- suance of the marriage license. Fearing that parental interference might prevent a continuation of his wishes he quickly telephoned a young man friend in West End to intercept the car Miss Evers was on and start the young lady back to town. The young man did his work well. and Miss Evers, In company with Miss Willie Scott, who was to be an attendant at the marriage planned for today, came back to Birmingham.
 They were met by MT. Johns and his best man, MT. Martin Kennedy, and pro- ceeded to the residence of the Rev. pr. l.. S. Handley, where they were joined in marriage. Last night they departed on a wedding tour and will make their first stop at Memphis. Spokane, Wash, will be the western limit of the trip.
