1t is inevitable that there should be
some difference between men of diff
ferent parties, men of different races,
men of different creeds. But we can
never get anywhere by always harp

run one of two things is true. GROUPS
of our people must either find a way
to get along together or they must
engage in perpetual warfare. There
can be no doubt as to which is the
wise method. Let's get together, stick
together, and fight together, and fight
those who try to keep us separated.

Tax-To Touch.
"The word "tax," remarks the New
York Times, lis derived from a word
whose original meaning was Ito
touch"
Consulting the dictionary for veri-
fication of this interesting item, one
finds more than verifcation. The first
meaning of the>origina1 was Ito touch
sharply"
Surely this is bringing etymology
strictly down to date.
For vast number of taxpayers of
all degrees, sizes, kinds and conditions
in these parlous days after the war

 Tn connection with our twenty fifth annual sale it is interesting to note that Mir. Barrett has just reached his twenty fourth anniversa- ry as editor of The Age-Herald. I can remember well when Birmingham didn't have such a thing as daily newspaper. As I walked along Twen- tieth street one day, Jim Hawkins, the lawyer, father of J. F. Hawkins, the tax collector, was surrounded by a group of men and he was telling them khat he had just heard Presi- dent Garfield had been shot. A tele- graph operator had simply caught this much going over his wires. But that Is all we knew about it until next morning about Il o'clock when the Montgomery Advertiser arrived. The Nashville American got in at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and these two papers were our main reliance in keeping up with what was going on Tn the world.'

Birmingham Is so different from the town of 25 years ago when we in- al gurated the plan of an August furniture sale" said Ben M. Jacobs yesterday. That no one could recog- nize 1t as the same place.
 Well, do remember one day Capt. John Henley, father of the present John C. Henley, was talking to me at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, and as he looked up and down Twentieth street and saw street car, he remarked, Wouldn't it be wonderful If there ever comes a time in Birmingham when you can look out on Twentieth street and always see a street car in sight
 The Idea of an August furniture sale, of course. originated from the fact that furniturue men usually make their greatest purchases of the year In January and July. This nat urally makes February and August the best months to put on a drive to reduce the stocks on hand so that there will be plenty of room for the purchases made the previous month when they arrive

Anniston, August 1.-(Special) j. . The Anniston Independents walked away with the Sunday afternoon game against Piedmont on the Camp Mcclellan field, the local artists easily defeating the fast team from the northern part of the county by a to score.
 Lee Brown. a new southpaw from Ohatchie, did the twirling for the Independents. and kept his oppo- nents safely away from the scoring zone until the fourth inning, John son muffing a long fly in center field and allowing three scores after two men were down.
 The Independents scored four of their runs in the first inning by a series of lucky hits, Camp, Pied monts best pitcher, being out of form. Gyp Young was sent to the firing line in the fourth inning after the locals had secured a safe lead.

but the com mission declined then what it has now granted.
 The upshot of the matter SO far Is that the Alabama intrastate rate fabric on 1O1 commodities established in the Conner regime Is intact.
 The railroads affected by the decision in the Meridian rate case found themselves embarrass- ed by higher rates laid down for their lines while the railroads not parties to the cases could continue charging the old and lower intrastate rates.
 Traffic men contended from the beginning that the decision In the case established more dis criminations than 1t created and the raiiriOds seemed to coincide in that position.
 Alabama traffic bureau man. agers will meet in Birmingham next Tuesday 10 decide on their course of action with regard to the rendering set for November 20.
 The Traffic Bureau notified its members of the rate suspension yesterday.
