A NEW ORGANIZATION.
"The Business and Laboling Mems League" Organized Last Night-The Commissary
 Check System Must Go.

Quite number of prominent business and laboring men met in the office of the State Loan and Trust company at o'clock last night for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization on the following declaration of principles:
 An organization called into existence by the consciousness of necessities which appeal to every sense of right and jus tice for relief against certain existing evils which strike at the very vitals of the development and prosperous growth of this district
 On motion Col. F. B. Blackburn was called to the chair and F. W. Dixon re- quested to act as secretary.
 On motion the chair appointed a com- mittee, consisting of H. l.. Underwood, George Harris A. O. Lane and F. w, Dixon on bylaws and permanent organ ization.
 The committee reported as permanent officers F. B. Blackburn, president, and Oliver Chalifoux, secretary and treas urer.
 The office of vice-president to be filled at the next meeting.
 The committee suggested that the or ganization be known as the Business and Laboring Mems league, which was adopted.
 By request the committee was granted further time to prepare more thoroughly the ruleS anu Dy-laWS governing the league
 Considerable interest was manifested in the meeting, and topics discussed look ing towards the building up of Birming- ham as a whole and not in part, and to see that laws are enacted doing away with the check system, as now practiced by the commissaries of this district.
 The league will be strictly non-politi- cal and no man who is a candidate for any office whatever will be eligible to membership.
 This combined effort on the part of the business and laboring men of the Bir- mingham district ,whose interests are the most seriously effected can but result in much good, and it is to be hoped that every man who has the best interest of the entire people at heart will become an active member.
 Now that the ball is started let no efforts be spared to release the chains of depression and the unfair practice of forcing men to become slaves instead of free men.

A Just Verdict.

Tallahassee, Fla. Dec. 5.-After four days trial before Judge Malone in the circuit court here, the case of Allen of Key West vs. George Lewis a banker of this place, was concluded today the jury giving Allen a verdict for $36.0O0 with interest from May, 1891, the whole verdict aggregating about $49,000.
 The evidence before the jury was to the effect that Lewis, when president of the Bank of Key West. induced Allen to purchase $36, 900 of the stock of the bank at $1.20 per share. Allen agreed to buy on the condition that Lewis retain the property of the bank. his other holdings in the bank and also that he protect the credit of the bank with the New York correspondent. On these terms Allen made the purchase. He borrowed the money. depositing the stock s collateral.
 Lewis soon after returned to his home in Tallahassee. resigned the presidency of the bank, transferred his other hold ings to his wife and children and in- formed Allen that he could no longer sustain the credit of the bank with the banks New York correspondent. Short Iy after this the bank failed, and In the failure Allen lost all of his earnings for years The failure. he alleged, was due to the course pursued by Lewis.
