hibitior Law-Resolutions Prepar-
cd by City Council to be Presented
to Legislature.

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 6.-Finding il
impossible to kill the North Augusta
dispensary by putting a toll on the
bridge connecting Augusta with North
Augusta, city council tonight decided
by strong resolutions to take the mat
ter up direct with the South Carolina
legislature. Three committeeman
and the mayor will appear before the
legislature. The resolutions adopted
follow:
Whereas, the State Of Georgia has
enacted prohibition law, prohibiting
the sale Of liquor within the confines
OF the said State; and
Whereas, the city of Augusta is a
municipal corporation within the said
State Of Georgia, and by virtue of
said law in the territory covered by
the said city Of Augusta the sale OF
Liquor is prohibited; and
Whereas, the State of South Caro-
lima, an adjoining State to the State
of Georgia, has enacted a local option
dispensary system, whereby each coun-
ty is allowed the option Of deciding
v neither Aispensaries shall be estab-
,.shed within its territory; and
Whereas the county Of Aiken, in
the State Of South Carolina. is sepa-
rated from the State of Georgia by
the Savannah river at Augusta; and
Whereas the county board Of dis
pensers Of the county Of Aiken has
seen fit, under the power given them
under the recent local option dispen-
sary act OF the State Of South Caro-
lira. known az the Carey Cothran act,
to establish dispefisary at the foot
Of the bridge located only a few hum
dred yards from the city Of Augusta;
and
Whereas, the location OF said dis
pensary and the selling OF liquor with
out restriction at said point is abso-
lutely destructive OF the effect to be
obtained by the prohibition law of the
State Of Georgia.: and
Whereas, the State of South Caro-
lima and the State OF Georgia have
ever acted in unison for the common
coed OF each other; and
Whereas, the establishment Of a
dispensary at this point tends to nulli-
fy. If not absolutely destroy, the in

Gentlemen: 1 am pleased to state
that we have constructed AS Of our

this work We have constructed one

The work has been done for ST.

Considering that it takes time to or

from lowest contract prices.
Yours very truly,

Little Mountain, jan 6.-The stran-
ger who committed suicide by drink

buried In the cemetery this evening at
8 o'clock
All possible efforts were made to
establish his identity. but to no avail,
until about an hour after his burial.
Engineer Graham Of the Columbia.
Newberry & Laurens railroad gave
very nearly an exact description of
the deceased, whom he said was A.
N. Freeland Of Sumter, and had at
one time been connected with the At
lantic Coast Line railroad. Mr.. Gra-
ham stated that he saw Mr.. Freeland
about 10 miles north of here on Fri
day morning last sitting by the rail-
road track and feels almost certain
that this Is the same man.
Magistrate B. E. Davis, in the alb
sence Of the coroner, came at once,
empaneled jury and held the in
quest. The result Of the inquest was
that the deceased came to his death
by poison administered by his own
hand.
Certain parties suspected him OF
being a DR.. Johnson from Salieys, S.
c.. but no answer has been received
from an inquiry made at that place
by wire.
The inquest brought out the addi-
tional facts that he had five gold filled
teeth--two Jaw teeth on each side and
gold-crowned incisor: that he stood
aboucs Ave feet eleven inches, and
that his laundry bore the mark OF

The gain in reserves was due
largely to the decrease on outstand-

more than $33,OoG,OOO in the last

MILLS AND MARKETS.

New York Commercial Thinks That
Banks Will Have Big Reserve Ac-
count in About -Four Weeks-Situ.
alton II Normal.
New York Commercial.
Expectations Of a favorite bank
statement were realized on Saturday
and Wall street welcomed an improve
ment which means that the banks
are approaching the level usually
considered normal. The statement
was by far the most satisfactory since
the first deficit was returned in early
October and few had hoped for a
more favorable return. Reserves in
creased sS,350.175, making a total
gain In reserves Of more than $22,-
100000 in the last four weeks, and
cut that amount from the great de-
ficit Of $54.103,60O returned on No
vember 23d.
This formidable reduction came
about by reason Of a gain of $6,5O7,-
200 in cash and a contraction of So
$4,000 in loans. Deposits decreased
about 100000 under the decrease
in loans and circulation increased ST.
661, 700. Now that the banks have
cut down the shortage by nearly one
half and the season is approaching
When 1t Is customary for them to aug
ment reserves, the outlook is very
promising. and leading financiers ad-
vance the opinion that within four
weeks the banks will hold in their
vaults reserves much in excess of the
amount required by law. The gain
In cash Is the largest since mid-sum-
mer and represents the deposit of
boarded money and the re-depositing
of money paid out in the preceding
week to the government loans.
AS yet the interior has done nothing
to relieve the situation in New York
and the enormous shipments Of cur
rency to the inland banks are not be-
ing returned with any great degl ee
Of rapidiry. 1t is not believed that
the interior will ship currency to this
center until the premium disappears.
