AGED MERCHANT OF' EPES IS HUM!LIA!ED BY LOCAL OFFICERS

George Morris of Epes, aged IS years, his store for over g years claims to have been grossly humiliated yesterday by police officer near a picture show across from the Burger Dry Goods com pany.

Morris claims availed him nothing He has been subscriber of The Age Herald for F years, and came to the office yesterday afternoon and related this series of circumstances:
 "I feel deeply aggrieved l went into . picture show to spend a few minutes and sat down on the aisle seat There was a young man beside me who pres sntly went out. I moved into the seat he occupied and within short time he came back and inquired of pocketbook He looked under the seat. I professed ignorance of the loss and thought that was the end of it. However, a policeman came in, caused me to be led out and in the middle of the sidewalk and in the presence of q great crowd that gathered l was virtually charged with being a pick pocket. I told the officer that I could

 T then told him that Captain John ston had known me for 36 years and to telephone him. With that the officer hired by Birmingham said that under the cir cumstances he would not believe John stoii or anyone else. Finally the cashier of the place. with whom l have not the honor of an acquaintance, very nobly came out and told the officer that I had been patron of the picture show for some months from time to time and was not a thug Finally, after undergoing humi.iations that my years should have protected me from, I was allowed to go away.
 Birmingham pretends to want trade from various merchants and from va rious sections. That is all right I want to say, however, that as for myself Bir- mingham policemen have almost robbed me of the respect and regard that I have always up to this time entertained for this place.
