NEW GROCERY FIRM IN
NATCHEZ,

The Natchez Democrat recently
contained the following news item
Of local interest in this parish, rs
James F. Trindle, mentioned, lived
for some years at Newellton:
Messrs ]. F. Trindle and Frank L.
Huffman are opening grocery store
at the old stand Of Joseph J. Camp
bell, deceased, in Madison - street.
They have purchased the stock Of
Campbell & Co., and are moving the
stock Of Trindle's store to combine
the two stocks. They expect to con-
tinue the business as conducted by Mr..
Campbell during his lifetime, and in
this they are expected to have great
success, as Mr.. Huffman had been
with Mr.. Campbell for several years
prior to his last illness and was
thoroughly familiar with his policies.
Mr.. Trindle has been engaged in
the grocery business in some capacity
all Of his life, and for yhe past three
years has had q successful retail
store at the corner Of Madison and
Cemetery streets. sai1I
Mr.. Huffman has had an equally
long experience in the retail grocery
business, which has been continuous
except for the time besMs y the
army during the Sra1t5 III. Since
coming back from the army he has
been in the employ of Joseph ].
Campbell, and was admitted TO .
partnership at the first Of the year
under the firm name Of Campbell &
Company.
The new firm win be styled Trindle
& Huffman.
These young men both have nu-
merous friends, who will wish for
them success.

GET THERE IN A HURRY

Mrs. Robert Young, employed at one OF
the large downtown stores, said; The
jitneys get me where / am going in a
hurry, and that is why | am in favor
of them. People have talked about hav-
ing law passed to stop smoking in
jitney. l have noticed that if some men
are smoking and lady gets in the jit-
ney they stop smoking at once, without
being asked to. There is no need for
such a law. Even if man should for
ket and keep on smoking there is plenty
Of fresh air, however, so that the smoke
would not bother anybody. | hope the
jtneys will be permitted to operate. They
have gotten to be necessity 10 most
people,
H. p Hudson, 631 Thirtieth street,
north, said: 'Jitneys should be permit.
ted to operate all over the city. In fact,
Norwood can stand more being put on
that run. And they should be permitted
to travel by the shortest and best route
in order to get downtown, regardless oA
the routes Travelled by the street cars.
They have become quite necessity to
the people, especially to those who work,
for they save, a great deal of time. OF
course, / would like to see the scent
fare operated on both, jitneys and street

FARE SHOULD COME DOWN

E. c. Fessler. lib Thirteenth street,
south, said: Both the street car and
the jitney should have scent fare be-
cause practically everything in connec-
ton with either method of transporta-
ton is gradually coming down in cost
The jitneys are great time-savers, and
instead Of being taken off should be
permitted to operate under rigid super
vision. They should take streets on
which there are no street cars operating
so as to avoid congestion"
Miss Juanita Hayes, Hotel Hillman
"A scent fare is sufficient for the
average ride of a few blocks, and il
the street car company wants tc
charge higher rate, let them do it OH
long hauls, such as from Birmingham
to Ensley or East Lake Jitneys should
not be put out of business, for they are
of invaluable assistance to the people
Of Birmingham without them The
street car service would be terrible
because they would have no competi'
ton, And it would not be fair to make
them run on streets. on which there
are no street cars"

We received no reply to our letter, but

MASS MEETING ON
nTNEY OPERATION
People of EnsIey to Consider
Threatened Increase of
Car Fare

Mass meeting of ali the people Of Ems
ley Wylam and Pratt City has been
called for Monday morning at 10 o'clock
in the inferior court room to consider the
threatened danger of further increases in
street car fare or reduction in service
due to the situation caused by the opera
ton of jitneys on South Highlands and
other short lines.
Aroused by the statement of B. H. Coop
Ell, member of the Alabama publce ser
vice commission, that due to the loss
of revenue amounting to $1,000 per day
caused by jitneys, it would not only be
impossible to reduce street car fare, but
another raise might be made necessary
the people of Ensley have called this
meeting to consider the question and to
take some definite action.
The meeting was arranged yesterday by
the Ensley Civic club at the urgent re-
quest of a number of business men and
other citizens of Ensley who feel thai
unless some definite action is taken, Ems
ley, Pratt City. Wylam, Fairfield, East
Lake, Inglenook, Boyles, Gate City and
other suburbs which have no jitneys and
where jitneys cannot operate, will De
made the goat"
The contention of the Ensley people
is that since the car company is losing
$1,000 day on the South Highlands, and
other short haul lines, that the people
of the suburbs are being taxed to pay
for a duplicate service for these people,
most of whom already have automobiles.
They declare that the increased revenue
derived from lines like the Ensiey and
East Lake cannot go into improving SER
vice and eventually reducing fares, but
that it has to be diverted to the High
lands and other jtney areas to maintain
the losses suffered by the cars
The people of Ensey, who have re-
quested Pratt City and Wylam to send
representatives, want action taken which
will present the proposed increase in

is to ride the street cars. Personally, /

duty of the people to do so. The street
railway company should get the business

the jitneys did not operate there until
after the fare was raised to cents by
the street cars, and then the jitneys
charged 10 cents. The jitneys should take
a different route than the street cars,

TIME FOR Scent FARE

Miss Mildred Dublin, Federal build-
ing, said: Its about time that we
were having our scent fare back
again. l am in favor of the jitneys
having the same privileges as the
street cars. The jitneys give better
service, and make better time than tn !
street cars, and they certainly ought
to be permitted to run on the same
streets You do not have to wait for
a jitney the way you do for a street
car, and once you get in the jitney
you are whsked to your destination
in less time than it would take the car.
jitney ride is much more pleasant
than a street car ride, and il a person
is cooped up in store or office all day
they can get>much more fresh air in
the jitney.''
Wyndham Mason said: IT am against
the jtneys. because / regard their COM
petition with the street railway system
as unfair. 1t is the height of irony to
have the street car company pay out
$4,000 for West End paving and then
have the jitneys use this free of charge
and cause the company a deficit in oper-
alton.
THE Age-Herald is right about the )
cent car fare. Eliminate the irrespon-
sible iitney and give us a low car fare.
That is my slogan"

said: THE competition between the street
cars and the jitneys Is unfair and it is
impractical The jitneys are there when
the sun shines and the travel is heavy.
When the weather is bad thy are not

5 cent car fare sounds better to me than
the present unsatisfactory state Of af-
fairs"

WANTS FURTHER INFORMATION


Capt n. l.. Demere Il would like ID
know how other cities have solved the
problem before l finally pass on the jit-
ney matter. l admit the responsibility
OF the jtneys, but l also cannot but rec
ollect the many times before they came
that l have waited long for cars and
then got into one crowded to near suffo-
cation. Regulation should be based on
the best service to the people.
o. L. Bum, manager of the Chamber
Of Commerce, said: THE jtneys should
be regulated in some reasonable manner.
They are common carriers. there :
fore amenable to tho law governing
common carriers. They should be made
to conform to these laws and should
be backed by sufficiency of asset to
iecompense for injuries that they may
cause. Raises in car fare would be
mistake. That would encourage jitney
traffic. The car company should be re-
quired to give adequate car service such
as Is done on the Highland avenue
lines. Car fare should not be reduced
until the street car company has made
enough money to buy equipment and
better the service"
j. A. Rountree said: 1T is a matter
Of competition. The street car interests
should meet 1t with service that will
automatically put the jitnsys out Of
business. ] believe that the car com
rany would do better with five-cent
car fare under present conditions"

street car fare to 5 cents wouid Prove a
blessing to <be working people who are
compelled to ride the cars. Jitneys should
be permitted to operate where they are
now running because of the great conven-
fence to the masses. They are comfort
able and a person gets plenty of fresh
air which is most welcome after being
confined in store all day"
SHOULD USE STREET CARS
People should patronize the street cars
and by doing this they will perhaps get a
scent fare" said j. l.. -Lentz. 1872 Four
teenth avenue. north. "A street car ride
is only worth cents, and I think the
street railway company could afford to
operate and make profit at 5 cents.
judging by the cost of other things now.
Jitneys are not a legitimate competitor
and should not be permitted on the same
streets with the cars because they only
serve to block traffic. Jitneys should be
bonded SO as to be responsible in case OF
accident.
