Ensley, March 25.-tSpecial.)- Engineer Van Ohls is prepapng sur vey of the Fifth ward at the request of the street committee of the city council. with a view of installing a sewerage system in that ward. This matter has been before the council several times and the building of the sewer was recommended by Mayor Sugg in his recent annual report to the council.
 The Fifth ward is distinctiyely a res- idence section of the city, and is build ing up rapidly with handsome and sub- stantial dwelling houses. MT. Van ohls is gathering all the necessary infor- nation as to probable cost of building and is surveying the proposed route of the main sewer. This will be su5- mitted to the city council at the next regular meeting for consideration. The citizens of the Fifth ward are much interested in the matter and will urge the passage of an ordinance to build the sewer.

 Mr Hammels says that his road has completed % per cent of the work under way to Birmingham, and that the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic will in all probability be operating trains to that city before six months elapse. The tracks to Atlanta have been completed and off, cial trains are now running to that city, which will be reached by a regular sched- ule within two weeks, and in this con- nection he made the rather remarkable statement that to the best of his knowl- edge. there has been only one train on the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic to fail to make schedule time within d month, it being also said that they main- tain as fast a schedule as any other sys- tenn in the south.
 Mr Brown says that the people of Talladega are well pleased with the serv- ice received from the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic. and he expressed great faith in the future of the road. Referring to railroad conditions in general he very severely condemned the radicalism Of Conner and Roosevelt, and gave the for mer credit for the delay in the extension of the Seaboard to Anniston. stating that he himself had filed papers in Mont gomery for the Seaboard, looking to it's extension to this city.

 Constitutional Duty of

WRITES A LONG LETTER

Montgomery, March 25.-(Special.) )-Gov. B. B. Conner said that he would refer the report that Mobile was preparing to fur ther violate the anti-Sunday baseball law and the opinion of Attorney General A. M. Garber that the law is good and can not be ignored without violation, to the citizens from whom it came, indicating in this the fact that the law Is in every way valid and the officers of the law, supported by the citizens, have nothing else to do but see that 1t is enforced.
 This matter was brought to the atten- tion of Governor Conner some days ago by the ministers union, and the attor- ney general in his opinion quotes from a letter. which he has received from the pastor of one of the leading churches, Rev. H. H. McNeill, to the effect that other Sunday games are scheduled and other evidences prominent that the law is to be defied. It is also interesting to note that, if MT. McNeill is right, the Gulf City is paying very little attention to the liquor laws, as passed by the last session of the legislature. He says:
 Tt is also a matter of common knowl- edge that intoxicating liquors are being openly sold on Sunday and after o'clock at night" MT. McNeill then makes the following statement, that would seem to indicate that there Is laxity of dis position to enforce the laws mentioned,

MERIT IN CHiCORY.
U. S. Government Interested In the
 Use of the Root

Use of the Root.
 It long ago was discovered that the ad- dition of small proportion of chicory to coffee gave the combination the same taste and flavor as are found in the most expensive Arabian mixtures selling up 10 several dollars per pound. This fact has been recognized for many years in Eu- rope, but only recently has this fact been recognized by American consumers
 Now the government is interested and has conducted a searching inquiry into the merits and uses of chicory. Recently in Bulletin 19, U. s. Department of Agrl- culture. page 12, the government says:
 With the exception of only one case it was found that a small quantity of chicory added to good coffee improved the effect of the coffee. It is supposed in the single. exception referred to, an inferior grade of coffee was sold for the higa grade. In all these trials the purity of the chicory was undoubted it having been sent by prominent chicory firm for an- alysis and experiment.
 Analysis of both the raw and the pre- pared product have so far failed to reveal the presence of any positively harmful substance. Neither the national nor the U. s. Dispensatories condemn its use. 'Chicory,' says the former, is thought 70 increase the appetite, promote the diges- ton and stimulate the liver
 ''In France and Irermany use is made of chicory as an aperient for infants and young children mothers preferrng 1t to ordinary medicine on account of it's be- ing agreeable in flavor and harmless in effect Since no evil effects are appaent when 8 mixture of chicory and coffee is used, and since remarkable symtoms fol- low the excessive use of straight coffee, it appears that the use of chicory in mol eration is not fraught with greater evil, effects different temperaments in different ways and 1t should be left to the indi- vidual himself to choose chicory, coffee or 6 mixture. The very general use of chic cry for the last one hundred and fifty years and the proportions which It's cul. tivation have assumed. indicates that it is beneficial and agreeable to at least some constitutions"
