MOVEMENT SEEMS ID BE ABANDONED Minority at EnsIey Fails to
 Have Meeting CAPTAIN BOYD IS STRONGER Ills Eligibility to Membership on City Democratic Executive Com
 mlttee Not Now So
 Doubtful.

Ensley, August S1.-(Special.)-It ap- pears that the minority members of the city democratic executive committee have night to override the action of the ma jority members to stand pat" on the eligibility of Captain Boyd as a member of the committee.
 The meeting called tonight by the mi- nority did not materialize. It is stated by a man in a position to know that the meeting has been postponed indefinitely.
 It Is stated that the records published today, showing that Captain Boyd was recognized as a legal member of the com mittee in January, 1903, has done much to convince those who doubted his eligibility as a member of the committee. At that time he and the others members of the committee acted as a canvassing board of the primary and made recommends tions that the mayor and board of alder man, nominated in the primary. be placed on the ballot to be voted for in the gen eral election.
 In quoting Captain Boyd this morning an injustice was done him. His statement relative to the validity of the proxy held by Alderman Patton should read: 'I can't t see how the proxy of Alderman Graham could be valid, since he has removed his family to Gadsden.'
 From present indications 1t seems that 1t will be September b before the commit tee will have another meeting. This is the date set by Chairman Mandy. The whereab uts of the minutes ef the ..<1 4x contain the entire records still remains a mystery. Should they be found 1t Is thought the whole matter will be clear ed up.
 In the meantime politics are continuing to boil and informal caucuses in favor of the various candidates are held every night. It is being rumored that certain things will develop in a week or two that will change the entire situation as 1t now stands.

HyoMErS SUCCESS IN BRATTlEBoRo

and remarkable success in Brattle-

II. Greene when he first introduced
Hyomei sold 1t under positive
guarantee to refund the money In case

its successful introduction. A guar

Greene gave people confidence at the
start.
Those who obtained a Hyomei out

first few breaths of Hyomei cleared
the air passages and gave an exhil-
arating and invlgorating effect, Its
continued use freed the system from
all catarrhal germs, soothed and heal
ed the mucous membrane and made a
complete and lasting cure.
Compare with the dangerous stom-
ach drugging that had been used
heretofore in the treatment of
catarrh, the balsamic air of Hyomei
created a most favorable impression.

make a success, 1t was necessary that
Hyomei should cure nearly every case
of catarrh in which II was used, for
every outfit was sold on a guarantee
to refund the money in case it fail

If 1t had not possessed unusual
merit an offer like this would
have resulted In an enormous loss.
But curing as it did, Hyomei soon
gained an enviable reputation and
made many friends who recommend
