 The Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday morning met and immediatelv adjourned until this morning when eases from the counties of Bibb, Choc- taw, Dallas, Greene, Hale, MarenEo, Perry, Sumter, and Wilcox will begin to be heard.
 Numerous and important decisions are expected to be handed down this week.
 The future of Houston County will be settled most likely this week. The law creating the sixty-seventh county of the State is being attacked In habeas corpus case on the ground that there was not sufficient advertise ment of the bill as required by section lO6 of the new constitution
 Also the question of whether Shell by County Is to have a branch court house at Calcis is expected to be fin- ally answered this week. The people had voted for the new court house but upon advice of counsel the court Of county commissioners refused to is- sue bonds for the erection of the build ing. The attack is being made on the ordinance of the last constitutional convention authorizing the new court house
 An important opinion Is expected in the Ohelpy CouAty case as 1t may de- termine whether the ordinances of the constitutional convention of 1901 are valid or invalid since they were not submitted to the people along with the constitution for ratification.
 Practically the same points are in- volved in the case of St. Clair County. the ordinance under which branch court house at Pell City was built be- ing assailed.

TREATMENT OF PILES.
Permanence of Cure the True Test

Permanence of Cure the True Test.
 Many so-called pile remedies will af- ford the user slight temporary relief and the majority of those afflicted do not expect more than this.
 The average sufferer, after having tried every preparation recommended for the cure of piles, comes to the com clusion that there is no cure except by an operation and rather than undergo this Hast resort" he suffers on, re- signed to the situation, so far as may be. The attention of those interested is invited to the following experience.
 After ten years of suffering from blind. bleeding and protruding piles and after using every remedy I could hear of without any benefit, I finally bought a fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure and used It with such good results I bought next a dollar box. which finished up the job. That was nearly six years ago and as far as piles is concerned I am cured and have new CT felt a symptom of them since.
 Many others have used this remedy hy my advice with the same results and always recommend 1t to sufferers with piles" c. H. Potts. Burlington. Kas.
 Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical the Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures. but cures to stay cured. It is in the form of a supposl- tory. can be applied in the privacy of the home, directly to the parts affect ed and does it's work quickly and pain lessly.

Ban Johnson, President of the Amer ican League, Is certainly after the Ma tiona1 Association of Union Leagues with a vengeance. Here Is an article which appeared in The New York sun of last week:
 The positive declaration of President Johnson, of the American League, that his organization will not grant the de- mands of the National Association or Minor Leagues can be regarded as fnal. Johnson has made the minor league question a subject for careful fnves- tigation, and he has come to the con- clusion that the minors are trying to hog things. Beneath the surface of the whole muddle there is case of baseball politics which has been grad ually reaching climax under the di- rection of some of the shrewdest Ma tional League and minor league men, who have one object in view-the ul- innate embarrassment of the American League. Even Garry, Hermann, the so-called savior of the national game, who is a strong advocate of syndicate ball in the National League. while pos ing as the supreme baseball judge as to eases that come before the National Commission, has come forward with a strong plea for the minor leagues, af- ter assuring Johnson before the Amer ican League meeting in Chicago in De- cember that he would oppose the minors on any proposition. The subject has been widely discussed from the mag
 
 end of it has not been touched upon.
 Clark Grifhth, however. made a point in a talk with The Sun man which goes to show that the minor league players would get a rough deal if the new drafting rule should be made a law.
 'The American League" said Grif- filth. 'has championed the cause of the young players who are coming to the front in the minor leagues. The pro-. posed drafting rule. which says that only one player can be taken from each minor league club in Glass A for $1.500, would place these young play CTS in hard predicarnent. After draft ing one player from a minor league club, the American League might want two or three other players on the same team, but their services would be placed at a prohibitive sale price if the, minor club did not want to let them go In that way the young players would have to stay in the minor leagues at comparatively small salaries in- stead of having a chance to draw more pay in the big league. If sale was consummated the minor league club would be able to secure much more money for the players release than it would be really worth. The minor leagues are trying to put through a bunco game, and the National League is backing them up simply to put the American League in bad repute- with the public. But when the inside of this thing becomes known the public. which is with all players as against the mag mates will realize that the American Leagues position Is purely sportsman like"
