Cash vs.. Credit

Owing TO the tremendous increase In our business,
We have adopted the cash basis. We will continue to offer
what we believe to be more than elsewhere attempted In
quality. style, variety, value and service, and In anticipa-
ton Of the economies which will be effected, have slready
made apprecisble reductions In prices recognized rs lower
than offered elsewhere.
One of the paradoxes OF retail credit IL the fact that
customers receive the, benefit of only a small fraction of
its actual cost. OF the items which make up credit ON
pense, the most obvious are:
I. Credit Men. 4. Postage and stationery,
.. Bookkeepers, 5, Unoollectibie Accounts,
;. Collectors. s. Interest on Capital.
OF these, the last Is the only expense of which the
customer derives the benefit, and this only in the way Of
time,
Association, thirty days is tho maximum that credit stores
will hereafter allow, so that this one privilege Of time Is
curtailed without material reduction of the other five
more important factors OF expense. and without oompou-
satng advantage to customers,
In eliminating all SIX OF these coats. Zellner's gives
direct TO the customer an advantage which is shared alike
by those who heretofore have had credit and those who
have paid cash. While, therefore, the slight inconveni-
ence to a few customers is many times overbalanced TO
them, our new policy appeals with equal force to all cash
buyers. h-
zellners acknowledge with Appreciative thanks the
favots extended us by our many patrons during the forty
six years OF our history, and we feel that we owe a special
debt of gratitude to those who have shared In our growth
of BUSINESSMAN increase OF 100 per cent during tho pres
ent management. As each step IN our development and
CLEANSING policy has been open to the CONGRATULATIONS OF
an ever approving public, we are confident In the belief
that this new change Will be accepted In the same spirit
OF approval and support. not only by our old friends, but

 ''We propose to go into every county in this state and ask the people why they should throw overheard the re- served powers which have kept their rights of life, liberty and property safe against legislatures, congresses and political manipulators who assume sC- perior merits but whose voices arc hoarse and their hands bloody with the denial and destruction of the right of the people to determine their own affairs.
 We propose to show that the armies and the navy of the United States might as we'll be withdrawn and the American flag hauled down if our people are to stand for the repudIa- tion of the principles of free govern ment compelled by the federal amend- ment or the arrogant assurance with which the lobbyists of 1915 have again cracked their whip and made repre- sentative and party agents repudiate their honesty. the character and the sovereignty of the free people of Ala bama, who placed them in office or power"

FIGHT BEGINS TODAY, SAY OPPONENTS OF NEW AMENDME NIT
Will Lay Before the People the Real Situation Regarding the
 Issue

The state campaign committee against the prohibition amendment, through Forney Johnston, issued a statement last night following the action of the state executive committee, which said, "The real fight begins today" The statement is as follows:
 'The state executive committee has spoken It voted down every proposal to submit the question of the federal pro- hibition amendment to the people. It de- nied the people the right to vote on the question by state, county or senatorial district. It even voted down a feeble resolution admonishing the county com mittees that they might submit the ques- tion in their several counties. In short, the control of the committee by the spirit ot federation was so complete as to over- whelm even the efforts of those members of the committee who favor federal pro- hibition, but who believe in the right of free people to be heard.
 No argument was advanced It was sufficient that the majority saw an ad vantage in preventing direct vote either by state or by county. Under cover of filling vacancies with carefully selected opponents of popular vote in any form, they were able to overcome the advo- cates of submission. Even had the mem bers the committee who had sworn great oats'' to stand by the people of their counties, but failed on the test; even had these members stood by their pledge and their people, the confessed opponents of submission were strong enough to dominate the new members and defeat any form of submission Judge Erwin, staunch democrat, elected by the people and an advocate of statewide submission, was succeeded by man who voted against every form of submission to the people. Judge Kumpe and Judge Wood were elected by the people and had definitely expressed. their desire to see the question voted on by the people, but they were succeeded by men who op- posed that procedure in any form, and paid for their advancement with their votes The victory for the sort of poli tics responsible for the federal amend ment was decisive, and that chapter is ended
 ''The real fight begins today. To the unanswerable argument against the federal amendment, which we propose to lay before the people of Alabama, there is added the overwhelming evil dence of trickery. of distrust of a pop ular vote, of a purpose to coerce, drive and dominate, which has characterized the federal amendment from the time of it's inception to it's present stage. It was not to be expected that the advocates of measure which in it's face declares that the people of Ala bama cannot resist debauchery without federal restraint, that they cannot be
