Already a large number of the leading sportsmen of the State with large string of dogs are on hand to par ticipate fin the trials. The preserves lie about three miles south Of town and are among the very best in the State, em- bracing something like a thousand acres. The president and secretary, MT. T. T. Ashford, and Mir. Spencer, both of Bir- mingham, are here, and both are hopeful of this being the most successful trials yet held by the Alabama Club. The weather has been very forbidding for some time, but this has not kept a great many from coming.
 There are a number of lady members of the club who will not participate in the pleasures owing to the severe weather that has prevailed for the past week and others have remained away on this ac- count

 One deputy reported over the telephone yesterday that he had collected about 200 poll taxes at Ensey.

VERDICT AGAINST
 SURETY COMPANY
JOHN s. MARRY AWARDED $7500 IN SUIT BASED ON GROUNDS OF MALICIOUS PROSECUTION BY HIS BoNDSMEN.

A verdict of $75OO was rendered in the City Court yesterday in the case of John S. Mabry vs. the National Surety Com pany.
 The plaintiff was formerly an employe of the Hammond Packing Company and the National Surety Company was on his bond. In making some settlements with his company MT Mabry sent in a check which was not paid by the bank, 1t is said, on account of there not being suf- ficient money there to make the check good
 The Hammond Packing Company noti- fled the Surety Company, who sent an agent here to investigate the matter, and he had Mr. Mabry arrested and in- dicted by the grand jury September 15, 1899, for embezzlement of $432.60 When the case came up 1t was mol pressed by the solicitor, the facts showing that MT. Mabry had done nothing wrong and he then sued the Surety Company for ma licious prosecution, securing the forego- ing verdict yesterday.

NIX. LOWE REMOVES
 CAPTAIN SOWELL
VIM. HENSLEY NAMED AS SOLIC- lTOR FOR COUNTY OF LIME STONE - APPOINTMENT GRE ATEs MUCH COMMENT.

Athens, February S.-(Special) = Con- siderable comment has been created in this section by the removal of Capt. Ben M. Sowell from the office of county so- licitor and the appointment of MT. Will liam Hundley by the district solicitor, Hon. Dick Lowe, of Huntsville, who was elected to the position of district solici- tor three years ago by the Legislature. At that time Captain Sowell was a mem Der of the State Senate that elected MT. Lowe, and it was generally believed that MT. Lowe as a reward for the friend ship of Captain (then Senator) Sowell, appointe ed him solicitor for the county of Limestone, which has since become a more lucrative appointment, bringing to the Senator a large practice.
 Soon after the election of MT. Lowe as district solicitor, and before he had dis charged any of the duties of the office, he was stricken with paralysis, and while he is able to go about and exercise him self he has never been able to fully attend to all the duties of his office. He Is a brother of Hon. Robert Lowe, chair man of the State executive committee.
 Just what steps Captain Sowell will take remains to be seen. The code says that a county solicitor shall hold for six years, or the time of the district solicitor unless removed. but whether or not the solicitor can remove a man without cause may be a leading question. The first in formation Captain Sowell had of it was in a. telegram from MT. Lowe to County Judge Horton announcing in future that he would please recognize MT. Hundley as the official solicitor in his court.

CATCHING COLD.

The philosophy of a cold Is arrest O, the secretions of the skin and mucus nembrances. The nervous respiratory explosion, called sneezing, denotes that the sensitive lining of the nasal cavitief is irritated, and that the general func. tions have been interfered with.
 The causes that. underlie a cold are decline of vital force and the impover. ishment of the blood. The scientific medi, gal world knows that when all the forces and functions of the body are at par a cold, under ordinary circumstances is almost impossible.
 The remedy which will keep the vita force at par, and thus enable the system to ward of colds, Ia grippe, and other dis eases. is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Ii replenishes the supply of iron, which is the fighting element of the blood.

 THE LAST IS FIRST.
 The liver is sluggish because the stom ach is diseased The kidneys are dis ordered because the stomach and its al lied organs of digestion and nutrition are *weak" and cannot supply adequate nutrition for the needs of the body. How do we know this9 Because in so many cases persons who had suffered with disease of heart. liver, lungs kid neys, etc, have found these diseases en- tirey cured, when Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured diseases of tue stomach and the other organs of di- gestion and nutrition.

consumption. The presence of catarrh is evidence of predispositlon to the "Wither- ing White Plague Do not let it progress, stop 1t, cure it. Before It has reached the lungs you can do this with very little effort and expense. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are a soverign remedy for the peculiar constitu- tional condition or systemic dyscrasia that permits of chronic catarrh. They drive oatarrh out of the system and heal the evil dences Of its ravages so long as the destruc- tive processes have not been allowed to pro- gress to point beyond possibility of repair. They will cure catarrh of the head, nose, throat, ears, bronchial tubes, and the ailmen- ary tract. but if once lung substance is des- troyed and in the cheeks the hectic spots burn brightly like signal lamps of death, then they are powerless to save. There is point in the destructive processes of progressive catarrh beyond which no medicine can cure, where DO agency yet discovered will arrest or save.
 Be timely wise, cure your catarrh while yet It may be cured. Take no chances of some exposure tanning the smouldering fire of chronic catsrrh Into devastating confiagra- tion of consumption. You can buy Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at any drug store for 90 cents

MAJOR T. T. HUEY
 TENDERS RESIGNATION
Colonel Hiedon and Major Mcconnell Are the Only Officers Left-They
 Are as Yet Undecided.

Maj T. T. Huey, commander of the second battalion of the Third Alabama Regiment of the National Guard. has rendered his resignation to Adjutant Gen eral w. w. Brandon, who will deliver it to Governor Jelks when he arrives in Montgomery today.
 As stated in The Age-Herald Sunday, the resgnations of Lieutenant- Colonel Kyle and Maj. w. T. Parkes have been tendered. This leaves but Colonel Hig don and Major Mcconnell.
 Colonel Higdon may resign and he may not. He said he had not consulted with his friends as to the best thing to do, and that until he did so no step would be taken. There are a number of officers on his staff who he thinks should be consulted before he resigns, as they will go with him, and until he hears from all of them there will be nothing done.
 Should he resign Colonel Higdon will stand for reelection.
