City council met In special session yesterday evening to hear a report of the committee appointed to confer with the members of Delgar Reel squad In regard to their disbanding on December 1. The committee re? ported that the members of this com? pany stated that ?hey would certain? ly disband on the above date and would accept no change In their plans as given notice of to the council some weeks ago. After some discussion, the committee was instructed to con? fer with the squad in regard to a com? plete sale of its property to the city without any conditions attached. The use of the street roller was granted to the Turf Association for use on its track during the coming meet. I Some supplies were ordered pur? chased for the street department. Superintendent of Streets White was Instructed to supervise the replac? ing of the macadam on the streets af? ter the laying o fthe sewersge pipes. The matter of the delay of the Coast Line railroad In completing Its pas? senger station and the complaints about same by the public was taken up and discussed. Council decided to take no action on the matter until the committee from the chamber of commerce could confer with the rail? way officials. This committee was the one that had a conference wifh the officials concerning the building before the work was commenced and Its members had promised leniency towsrd ths railway compi.w in com? pleting the work on account of the delay In securing materials and hands. Since two of the committee are mem? bers of council they asked that no action be taken just now until the committee could tslk the matter over with the railway company, although these members said, that they felt as though they had discharged their promises to the officials fully. Council then adjourned. THE COUNTRY COMING TO ITS SENSES. So Declares The Governor of Alabama In His Thanksgiving Proclamation. -?His Views Are Encouraging nt This Time.

"There Is less evidence of thoughtless and remorseless combina? tion mads for the purpose of undue gain," he contlnuea He finds that there is - a desire to return to sane methods and meritorious usages, which, though countrylfied in name, like the salt put In the spring at Jericho by Elisa to heal and cure the waters, from the* beginning of time* has led to happy and successful ac? complishment." After praying for the "passing of this financial brainstorm creating a dementia of business," the governor concluded: "While some stagnant water will be left the country le now being Inocu? lated with the old-time methods of prudence, care, honeety and fair deal? ing which will result In clearing and curing the situation."

CILVRLKSTON "TUNERS" MAY FIGHT CARKY-COTHRAN LAW. leading AC (or my of Tliut City En gaged to Manuge Case For Tliost Who Have Been Restrained Prom Illegal Sidling of Whiskey. Charleston, Nov. 21.?The service of the many injunctions during the pact week or two, restraining dialers from selling liquor and property owners and agents from permitting its rale on their property is about to result it is understood In a big legal battle to test the validity o fthe Carey-Cothran act and the issue of these Injunctions. Attorney J. P. K. Bryan has been engaged by S. P. Schiaderessl, one ol the parties enjoined yesterday, and it is understood that Mr. Bryan is to be the leading counsel in the distinguish? ed array of legal talent which it to at? tack the dispensary law as it now stands upon the books. It will re? called that it was Mr. Bryan who car? ried the famous Cantlnl case before the late Judge Slmonton and secured an opinion that the law was uncon? stitutional, an opinion which was af? terward reversed by the United States supreme court. The supreme court allowed however, the Importation of liquor for personal use, a provision of the law which has given the state its chief trouble in the enforcement of the act ever since it was announced. The pending action will probably be the biggest right that has ben n ade against the dispensary system since Mr. Bryan's tight, and It is possible that the present proceedings may be of even greater scope and effect. There are said to be several features of the Carey-Cothran act whose validity is qustloned by the lawyers, chiefly along the line of the right qf the county to sell where the right Is to be held only by the state, under the constitution, It Is said. The lawyers are, of course, averse to discussing their cases in the news? papers and are very closemouthed a to what steps they will take, but suf? ficient Information has been socured to warrant the statement that a big le? gal battle is pending. Appearances have been entered in several cases by' attorneys, and addi? tional appearances will probably be entered before the cases are formally heard next week. So far as announ? ced Mr. Bryan will appear for Schia? deressl; John D, Cappelmann for the Charleston Rifle Club; Logan & Grace for Riddock & Byrns and also for Pat Carroll; Mordecai, Gadsden, Rut ledge Sc Hagood for the Charleston hotel; George Momeier for the Turn verin and others. In the array of counsel will be lawyers representing the owners and agents of property In which the alleged violations of the dispensary act have taken place. It is ,on account of the property owners* and, agents that a particular? ly ^atrong flight will be made. It Is a?id that the owners of property can not be enjoined legally, as they have been under the services of the papers recently and the lawyers having charge of these property interests will present a strong case. The dispensary situation was much talked about today, especially In blind tiger circles. The fact that other in? junctions have been prepared and are ready for service makes the dealers generally uneasy. None of these pa pers were, however, served today. NEW ORLEANS MAY GO "DRY." Active Campaign Begun in That City To Put Down Liquor Traffic. New Orleans, Nov. 24.?With a "dry" New Orleans as the aim of pro? hibitionists and a reformed New Or? leans the object of the saloon keepers, a crusade reflecting the prohibition movement In other parts of the South began here today. Ministers In near? ly all of the city Protestant churches devoted part t>f their sermons to ap? peals for closing up the liquor traffic. The announced plans or influential liquor dealers are first to force the resignation from the Louisiana Liquor league of objectionable members, and second to petition the city council to close up the saloon* of such retired members. The closing of dives, es? pecially negro resorts. Is one of the objects of the liquor dealers. Another Is to create such eurroundlngs where drinks are sold as will minimize drunkenness and violence. ?DeWitt's Little Early Risers are the best pills made. They do not gripe. Sold by All Druggist.

RCV. Dr. J. William Joins Suhl He Wanted to Enter Confederacy. Richmond, Va. Nov. 16.?Consid? erable interest has been aroused in Confederate circles in Richmond over the publication in the Confederate Veteran Of the statement that before the outbreak, of hostilities between the States, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, then a retired captain of the United States army living- in Illinois, offered his services to President Jefferson Davis, regiment of volunteers. The same reference Is made in the article to Admiral Farragut and Gen. Geo. H. Thomas. Col. James U. Stuart, passed vice commander of the Illinois Grand Army of the Republic, has issued a statement in which he challenges the production "by the Louisiana Histori? cal Society or by any other society or inuivldual of any authentic letter written by either of these three men at any time which contains one word or phrase from which the inference could be drawn that they were will? ing at any time to assist the cause of the rebellion." Rev. J. William Jones, D. D., chap? lain and historian of the Confederacy said tonight that he had no knowl? edge of Grant and Farragut having made such an application, and in the% case of Grant he regarded it as ex? ceedingly doubtful. "There can be absolutely no doubt, however," continued Dr. Jones, "in the case of Thomas. I have publish? ed the matter time and again, and will state most emphatically that I have in my possession a letter from Gen. George H. Thomas, which ad? mits that at the time of the secession he applied for a commission to enter the Confederate service."?Baitimor?? Sun. SOUTH CAROLINA MINERALS.

Catarrh is the most prevalent dis- | ease known to humanity. Probably | ninety per ce<nt. of the people In this country suffer at one time or another with this common disease. It is a germ disease and hence can be cured only by some method that will reach and destroy the germs. This is best found in ? Hyomei, which may be called the direct meth? od of treating catarrh, as Its medica? tion, taken in with the air you breathe, goes directly to every air cell In the nose, throat and lungs; kills all catarrhal germs; heals the Irritated mucous membrane and vitalizes the tissues so as to render catarrh no longer possible. The unique way in which Hyomei is sold should dispel all doubt a.$ to its curative properties, for J. P. W. DeLorme gives his absolute guaran? tee to refund the price to any catarrh sufferer that Hvomei falls to benefit. You do not risk a cent in testing its healing powers. What offer could be more fair to y >u than this, where a lea ling druggist takes all the risk of Hyomei giving satisfaction, and leaves you to be the judge. 11-26A2S&w ?A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Bhoop's Cough Cure.
