 According to the report which, it is stated, the government postoffice inspec- tor will make to Washington, the post office will not be moved to the Rebie Hall block. Dr. G. R. Lewis stated this morn- ing that the inspector who was in the city yesterday objected to the change.
 It will be remembered that the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic railroad pur- chased the present quarters of the post office for a passenger station for the Bir- mingllam Railway, Light and Power com pany. which will have to be placed before the former railroad can get their present location Dr. Lewis had decided on the Rebie Hall block for the new location of the office subject to the recommendation of the government inspector. The fact that such apparently is not forthcoming 1t remains to be seen what will be done, and the outcome is being watched with interest.
 very light payday is anticipated to- morrow, as 1t is doubtful whether the Tennessee company will pay off. It has been the custom to pay off as soon after the first of the month as possible, and onN rare occasions the company has paid off on the first Saturday.
 If the Tennessee company does not pay there are but few other pays due and trading will probably be light

{. SUFFERED AGONY
 WITH SALT TRHEUM
On Hands, Arms, and Face for Three Years-Spent Hundreds of Dollars in Seeking a Cure-Hands Be- came a Solid Sheet of Sores-No Rest from Awful itching Until
CUTICURA REMEDIES
 EFFECTED A CURE

"I had salt rheum for three years on my hands, arms, and face and I thought 1t would get all over me. I tried four or five doctors but they failed and my husband has spent hundreds of dollars in trying everything we could hear of. But grew worse and worse, my hands itched awfully and l could get no rest at all. l was just in agony all the time because when they did not itch they were so dry and crackly that was mis- erable and when they cracked, they bled. The nails of my finger and thumb began to come of, and my hands were solid sheet of sores. Several of my friends told me to try the Cuticura Remedies so got a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment and from the first my hands began to improve and now they are well, and think that the Cuticura Remedies are worth their weight in gold, and l advise every one that has skin trouble to use them.

ADDRESSES CONFERENCE
BY CHESTER E. JOHNSON.

Enterprise, December 6.-(SpeciaL)- Bishop Hoss opened the Alabama confer ence this morning at o'clock. Dr. H. T. Johnson led in a fervent and eomprehen- sive prayer The bishop read from II Cor inthians. xii, in which the Apostle Paul speaks of being caught up into the third heaven above 14 years ago"
 ''It is just little remarkable" said the good bishop, that St. Paul kept his won derful experience a secret for II years. Some of our modern Methodsts would have had the whole transaction detailed in his church paper the next week. But vacy in the religious, and while he never was afraid to openly confess the Christ he did not boast or strip his soul stark naked to make an exhibition of it"
 The bishop also spoke of the thorn in St. Paurs flesh. "There are three things about this thorn." said he. First, it is in the flesh. Paul was no Christian Scien- tist, it was really and truly in the flesh. believe it was a personal affliction of some kind. At any rate, it disqualified him for active service in his work, and nothing is more trying for the servant of God than to be disqualified for his duty.
 Second, it came from the devil. Spirit ual evil is as much reality as spiritual good. Paul believed there was personal devil
 "Third, he besought the Lord thrice that it might be removed. He prayed earn estly but in submissive spirit. Not mine, but Thy will be done And his prayer was answered but not as he ex- pected. The calendar of eternity does not register a single sincere prayer which has gone unanswered.
 "Three things it was in the flesh came from the devil. He besought the Lord thrice for it's removal, yet it was suf- fered by divine providence to be used as a means of spiritual discipline"
