 COLA COUNCIL.

 To the Courts.

Pensacola. Fla. Jan. 27.--(SpeciaL)- Alderman A. H. D'Aiemberte. who has represented precinct No. 12. in the citv for the past two years. today for warded to the mayor his resignation.
 This is the outcome of the custer proceedings brought by residents of the precinct to remove the alderman from office upon the allegation that he had 1 not resided in the precinct which he represented since his election. and that his intentions were to remain outside of the precinct, The court decided that the alderman was ineligible to office under such conditions. but counsel gave notice of an appeal
 At the last meeting of the council however. aldermen who had talked with the deposed alderman, stated that he had made the statements that he did not intend carrying the case to a high CT court. and today the resignation was recieved. In it the alderman states that he has the option of carrying the 1 case to a higher court. but owing to the fact that this will entail a great de- lav and that as numerous important matters of much interest to the city are to be considered, he resigns in order that the council may select his suc- cessor.

SUGGEST A SOLUTION
COMMISSION WOULD SOLVE PROF.
 LEM or LUsK BILL.
Opposition is Expressed to Plank Pro- posed of fsedIstricting state in Judieial Circuits from
 Many Counties.

There Is probability that the prob lem of redistricting the State into ju- dicial circuits may be solved by the selection of a legislative Judicial com mission. The Lusk bill for the redis- tricttng of the State has met with a great deal of criticism from all parts of Alabama, and 1t is felt in many quarters that some plan must be adopt ed to make the measure more satis- factory to the people of the various counties.
 Thes Lusk bill, as 1t is at present drawn, affects every county in tho State in it's relationship to other coun- ties, not single circuit being left as 1t is as present. The number of judi cial circuits is increased by the meas ure. from thirteen to seventeen, the purpose being to give relief to those circuits which in the past have been greatly overburdened with litigation.
 The latest proposal to solve the ques- tion provides for legislative judicial commission to take up the matter and report a bill so drawn as to provide for the necessities of each county and each group of counties in the entire State. This commission Is to be com posed, it is proposed. of i've members, one representing North Alabama one South Alabama, one East Alabama, one West Alabama and one Central Ala bama, in order that every section of the State may be represented and it's interests cared for in the report formu- lated.
 This commission, according to the proposed arrangement. would meet with delegations from each of the coun ties, hear their statements of local con ditions to be met, both as regards size and character of the circuit and the time of holding sessions of court, and then arrange the circuits in such man ner as to comply with the needs of all portions of the State.
 The matter has been discussed among a number of the Senators, and has mel with their favor. The proposal for commission of this character will prob ably first make it's appearance in the Senate, where the Lusk bill is pending and be sent from the upper to the lower house.

DemOpOIis Business Mem Answer to

 Demopolis. Jan. 7.-(Special. l-Dur- ing the past few days revenue officers have been making 1t very unpleasant for some of the business people of De- mopolis, and a number of them have been accused of technically violating the revenue law as regards tbe sale os alcohol.
 There is great mystery as to how these officers secured their information in some cases. A prescription filled on a certain day. two years ago, from Dr. $ P Hand for Mrs. George W, Taylor so reports ay. was asked for by the officers at J. L. Crenshaw's. It was for a quart of alcohol and cost him 75 cents.
 Mayor Brothers had to pay over $250 for some whiskey ordered shipped to one of their customers. The Southern Grocery Company had to pay over $50 for a similar instance. There was no intention on the part of these firms to violate the law. and they were caught on a technical point, their boo ks showing a charge, against the custom CTS ordering whiskey through them, of ''whiskey' Tn stead of cash for Whis- kew.
 The two drug stores for negroes, were caught for selling alcohol, and if the reports are true. these druggists or their clerks. were persuaded. agains: their will, to sell a small quantity of alcohol tn one of the officers.

 The disturbances have continued nightly since the first manifestation. though each night the house has been surrounded by an armed cordon, bent upon solving the mystery and catching the offender, provided it wore the form of human.
 As on the first night. chairs and ta- bles and everything movable performed their antics, finally landing in an in- discriminate mass while the he use was so closely guarded that not rat could not find ingress or egress without detec- ton. The negroes in the neighborhood are worked up to such state of su- perstitiOus terror as never before and even the white people who ave inves- tigated the strange phenomena are mystifed.

The first manifestation occurred several nights ago as Taylor was in the act of retiring for the night.
