HERALD man that the brotherhood, as an order, had not taken any stock In Deos' strike.
 He said virtually: have a telegram from our grand chief saying that he has not or dered any strike, and that the order will not sustain any illegal action In gettlng down off of engines and refusing to go. MT. Sargent has not ordered a strike, and man has a right to go with the engine If he wants to, and can use his own hearts dictation. No strike orders have come from MT. Sargent, and l have not refused to work.
 EAST LAKE CITIZENS SPEAK OUT.
 At meeting of the citizens of East Lake, held in the Baptist church Sunday night, the following preamble and resolutions were offered by Hon. H. H. Brown and passed:
 Whereas, A formidable eff,rt is being made to despoil the people of Alabama of their rights and liberties in the use of their highways by an organized attempt to stop the running of trains on the railroads of the state; and;
 3 Whereas, The movement, if persisted in, is sure to result in the destruction or prop erty and the shedding of the blood of some Of our people, as it has already donoS other states; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we, the people of East Luke, in mass meeting assembled, recog- niZing God as the supreme ruler ot the uni verse and the God Of nations, feeling our dependence upon him, humblv submitting to his will and seeking and imploring his guidance in all things, do hereby, in the most emphatic terms, set our seal of disap- proval and condemnation upon the 'au- thors of this movement, who seek to make our own citizens who work upon our rall- roads the instruments of injury and wrong to those who are bone of their bones and flesh of their flesh, in order to influence a quarrel with which the people of Alab1ma have no connection and no voice or power to settle.'' Be it further
 Resolved, That we most heartily indorse and approve of the course of our dis tinguished governor, Thomas G. Jones, ln issuing his plain, pointed, vigorous and statesman like proclamation of the 9th in- stant, and in calling out the state troops as warning to those who would "set stride of the great highways of Alabama aud arbl- trarily determine when they shall be closed to the public" Be It further Resolved, That we, as law abiding citi- zeus, do solemnly and earnestly pledge to the governor of Alab una our aid in any way that may become necessary in his prompt and timely efforts to maintain and uphold the dignity of the laws of the state, E and to insure to our people their rlght to security under the laws, in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property and the pur- suit of happiness. Be it further
 Resolved, That we will earnestly and de- voutly pray that God may give to our rulers wisdom and power from on hlgh, and that ne may soon restore our land to peace and prosperity, that all the people may enjoy the protection of good govern ment and the manifold blessings which he has so bountifully prov ded for them.

 MAJOR GENERAL WHITING.
 The governor is commended by military men for bringing the First regiment for duty at this time. The local mem bers of the Second have recently done great deal of local service and were entitled to be TO- lieved of actual duty now.

He is an ex-Confederate officer and the senior officer, next to the governor, Of all the state forces.

An AaE- HERALD reporter took in the wholesale grocery houses on Morris avenue yesterday afternoon and found that the supply of food is still running low, but that it is not likely to be entirely consumed be- fore more can be had.
 As for meal and cured meat, there IS | practically none, except a few hams, in the | city. All other groceries are running low, but the beef supply by the local packers | and butchers is sufficient to supply the | present demands. Local wholesalers are l cutting down orders and trying 10 equalize | the distribution of groceries. Mir. Morris of Simmons, Durham & Co. said to an AGE-HERALD reporter yesterday | afternoon: "As for meal and meat, we | have none. We are entirely out, although l we have good supply of flour and canned | goods. We are cutting down all our or | ders 80 as to make the supply last as long | as possible and to prevent the prices of | goods from being run up. II you were to | come In here with the cash and want to buy | 100 barrels of flour we would not sell it to | you, simply because we want it to go as far | as possible. '
 | And that is the way with all of them. | TRADES COUNCIL
