 The most remarkable oyster reef in the world is in Mobile Bay. Its equal has never been found. For more than half century the people of Mobile and the people of Alabama have been eat ing oysters from this recf---a reef that is but little more than two miles long,
 Tt Is apparently inexhaustible--it must be inexhaustible, for year after year 1t has been made to pay its an nual tribute. And yet the reef is ap- parently as rich as 1t ever was Noth- renew it. Each year the oyster gath erers make their daily raid upon this wonderful reef with the assurance that next year there will be as many oys- ters as there ever were upon 1t. It Is great boon to Mobile-this oyster
 The speaker was Syd Lyons of Mo- bile. The name will call up to many people in Alabama their recollection of very energetic and very valuable member of the Alabama Legislature, sometimes member of the House and sometimes a member of the Senate. To mind a successful and an aggressive business man. To both the people of Alabama and the people of Mobile 1t will call to mind strong and winning personality.
 Mir. Lyons is prominent in several fields of business endeavor. Among commercial honors that are his is the Presidency of the Mobile Fish and 0xs< ter Company. When it comes to that valuable product, the oyster, Mir. LyR0e knows whereof he speaks and his N enthusiasm comes of this knowledge

 IS SUBMITTED.
Decision Wnl settle Several Constftu- tfonal Points--The Justices Rem dered Two Opinions and Ad-
 iourncd Until Today.

The Supreme Court of Alabama handed down but two decisions yester- day and received several submissions.
 The arguments for and against the constitutional ordinance of 1901 pro- viding for the building of a court house and jail in shelby County at g place which was elected by the people were completed yesterday.
 This case in itself Is important for the reason that a decision on 1t will settle whether Vincent or Calcis Is to have the second Shelby County court house. The abstract question will al- so be settled whether ordinances of the last Constitutional Convention not having been submitted to the people for ratification are valid
 The rulings of the Supreme Court and the two decisions of yesterday were as follows:
 Per Curiam.
 Frank Martin, administrator vs. Anniston City Court; motion to strike bill of exceptions overruled.
 Anniston Manufacturing Company vs. Southern Hallway Company. appeal from Anniston City Court, motion to strike return of certiorari overruled.
 Iron City Mining Company, ct al vs- James A. Hughes appeal from Call houn Circuit Court; motion to dismiss bill of exceptions overruled.
 Tyson, J.-Susan Lunsford vs Bai- ley & Howard. appeal from Birming- ham City Court; affirmed
 Anderson, J.--w. c. Matthews ct al. vs. whitford Mauldin. ct al, appeal from Dale Chancery Court; affirmed.
 The Court will meet again this morning at 10 o'clock, when criminal cases from the Seventh Division will be submitted.

HANNoN WAS TRAPPED.
Fifth Negro Who Robbed Store of A.
 M Johnson

M. Johnson.
 'Tf there's warrant here for me. Cap'n, I wants to surrender, cause I knows I ain't done nothing" said Charlie Harmon. a negro well-digger, as he stood before Police Desk Ser geant Gladden. Harrison at police headquarters yesterday morning.
 A few hours later Hannon pleaded guilty to burglary and grand larceny. He is now in the County jail awaiting the action of the next grand jury.
 Four negroes, 1t will be remembered, were arrested early Tuesday morning for robbing the grocery store of A. M {. Johnson at Winnie and Decatur Streets. One of the negroes confessed and implicated Charlie Hannon, a fifth negro. Recorder Arlington sent the four negroes to the County jail in de- fault of bonds of $500 each.
 The police had been making a quiet search for Harmon and his surrender yesterday morning was a complete surprise. He appeared to feel Injured that a warrant should be outstanding against him and declared that he was guileless.
 The negro who confessed to the burglary was brought before Hannon. but still Hannon protested his inno- cence. Finally the clty's witness said that Hannon was inside the store and handed the articles of merchandise to confederates on the outside.
 T wasn't in the store anything of the kind" Hannon blurted out. You was in the store."
 This was sufficient for Police Captain Taylor. Hannon appeared in court yesterday afternoon, pleaded guilty and his bond was fixed at $500. He was sent to Jail.

Which Should be Widely Read In Southern Homes.

Montgomery Confederate Monu- ment' Is illustrated fin the January Confederate Veteran, published at Nashville, and a beautiful account of its erection. as well as the spirit which inspired 1t and the source--the Ladies' Memorial Association--which made 1t possible. is written by James w Powell. Confederate soldier. who says; Near its base the Southern Confederacy was born. It is indeed a Shallowed spot. Here 1t was that the new nation was committed to the keep ing of MT. Davis, and echoing In the hearts of many yet living are his res- ponsive words: I will, so help me God Its mounting spire Is no threat to the stars and stripes, and is an assurance that the New South cherishes fond recollection of the past and clinging hopes for the future"
 Private w. A. washburn. of Boggy. Texas, tells in the same number of The Veteran of ''CIeburne's Division at Franklin" and B. F. Grady, of Clinton. N. C., gives some interesting facts re- garding ''Cleburne's Division at Ms sionary Ridge" The latter says: T am not willing for Cleburne's Division and particularly Granbury's Brigade, to be passed over in silence.i sss A wellknown history of the United States anu WTittSH Dy u boutueFHeF, SlyS that in the Chattanooga battles Bragg was defeated everywhere. which is very unjust" It is only through persistent and concerted efforts, such as may be had from personal accounts, that abso- lutely correct histories win ever be evolved for future generations.
 Yet another paper in the January Veteran which gives new light on old subjects is that by John Johnston, of Memphis, who writes most entertain ingly regarding Cavalry of Hoods Left at Nashville" Of this paper Colonel D. c. Kelley says: "The account of the part taken in the battle of Nash vile by your correspondent Is more accurate than is generally made by a private in the ranks" For the benefit of the future historian t. may be we'll | to say that Colonel Kelley, by order of General Rucker was in command of

 The people in the Plumner's Mil section of Fleming County, fifteen miles from here, are alarmed because the ground for a space of about 200 square yards on J. F. McGregors farm is sinking.
 When the ground commenced to sink dense smoke or vapor began to arise. and this Is visible several miles away. The smoke has an odor of burning oil The sunken ground Is so hot that one can remain standing on 1t only a few minutes.
 Workmen placed blanks on the sunk en ground and dug down to a depth of about six feet, where they found great masses of peculiar slate sub stance. which had the appearance of having been soaked in oil and then burned.
