LOW RAILROAD RATK.H.
The committee appointed to make sugges
tioDS and correct grievances met and con
sidered railroad business, and made the fol
lowing report:
The committee begs leave to report unani
mously that li indorses the plan adopted by tne
railroads of selling what ate called “aome
se k-ers" nn<l land excursion tickets, to promote
and encourage immigration, and recommends
that a committee of three b-' appointed by t .0
s intiierii interstate immigration convention to
apply to tue several passenger and traffic asso
eiat ons for an extension of tue sal -of such tick
ets at as low a rate and as frequent dates as can be
secured. And whereas, the practice of scalping
or ticket brokerage makes the sale of such
tickets on numerous dates and from many
points at low rates hazardous to the revenue of
vhe transportation lines selling sucli tickets,
and dive: ts the use nt such tickets from their
original purpose, the committee recom mends
tn.it tins convention memorialize congress to
Ir, it,it scalping or ticket brokerage by an
amendment to the interstate commerce act, as
recommended by the interstate com
merce commission in its fourth* annual
report. That wo further recommend mat
each state delegation to this conven
tion bring the action of this convention
to the attention of the congressional represen
tatives of their respective stales and ass their
'•‘■'•operation fn securing the proposed legisla
tion; al-o that the same state delegations ask
the legislatures of their several states to inst ruct
'heir representatives in congress to enact th 1
legislation asked for by the interstate com
merce commission.
'lhe report brought on discussion, which
was participated in by representatives from
nearly every state. Finally the resolution
"as adopted.
THE MANAGER’S ANNUAL REPORT.
■. B. Chilton of Austin, Tex., general
manager of the Southern Interstate Immi
gration Association, then made his annual
import. After greeting the delegates
warmly, he said that it must rest with the
future to reveal, through t le results brought
about by the plans laid do -vn in this con
vention, bow wise and great is the south,
he went on to say that the object of tbo
convention vs as to attract good men from
states and capital from all nations.
We welcome,” he said, “new settlers in
toe work of placing the southern section of
hie union in the position where it justly be
longs.” He spoke of the wort accomplished
-the Florida bureau, which had sent oue
exhibit to Boston and two to be shown at
•airs in the north and, thut'iu consequence
about 500 letters of inquiry had been sei t
™ the bureau headauarters. A good deal
“as been done in the advertising
’ De > a contract having been male by
*wch more than 12J0.000 worth of adver
ting was secured. During this year ex
hibitsof southern products had been dis
ln *' ,!W Jersey and New York and
‘ three points in Canada, also in Maine,
ennsylvßnia, Indiana and Michigan. Ex
ibits by trains of cars he deemed imprac
m >,o, but as made at, expositions they
** re certainly advantageous.
THE FUTURE WORK.

J Justify, we propose to engage speakers,
iiil° WI ‘ a<^ro ' s meetings in the east, m-rth
c west, and contend against the prejudice
Jssmst the south. It is also proposed to

ALABAMA’S MINERS.
Danger That tbe Iron and Steel In
dustry Will Come to a Standstill.
Nashvilue, Venn., Djc. IS.—A special
from Birmingham, Ala, says: •*fb- c si
miners’strike assumed a serious tur.t yester
day, and one that threatens to close eveiy
industry in this district. The members of
the Amalgamate 1 .Association of Iron a-.d
Steel Workers held a meeting yesterday
and passed resolutions of sympathy and
pledget support to the strike s. They agr e
to refuse to work with coal mined by c *.i
vict or scab miners if the strikers ask luem
to do so.
A LEADER'S THREAT.
"Patrick Mcßride, one of the executive
board of United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, arrived here from Detroit Wednesday
night to look into the strike. He says :f he
cannot settle it he will call out ail the iron
and steel workers. This means the closing
down of all the rolling mills, foundries and
machine shops, aud G.OOO more men will join
tho ranks of the strikers. The strike has
already seriously injured business, and
there seems no prospect of a settlement.’’

MEDICAL
On Al! Sides
Ayer’s Pills are commended as the best reg
ulator of the liver, stomach, and bowels.
Dr. Thomas Conners, of Centre Bridge, Pa.,
says : “ Having long used Ayer’s Pills with
good results, I can confidently recommend
them above all others.” Dr. Geo. P. Spencer,
of Unity, X. IL, writes : •• I consider Ayer’s
Pills far superior, as a cathartic, to any that*
ate furnished by the pharmacopoeia."
"After suffering for eight years from chills
and fever, with only occasional intervals of
rest, I was cured by Ayer’s Pills alone. My
pase had resisted treatment with the usual
doctors’ prescriptions and a great number of
proprietary medicines; but under the influ
ence of Ayer’s Pills the chills and fever
ceased, my liver and stomach were restored
to healthy action, and my former good health
returned. Ayer's Pills cannot be excelled as
a remedy for disorders caused by malarial
poisons." —S. L. Barrow. Gordon, Texas.
“ For headache, Ayer’s Pills are the most
effective medicine."—G. Rodee, Hotner, N.Y.
“ When 1 feel the need of a cathartic, I
take Ayer's Pills, and find them to tie more
effective than any other pills I ever took.”

Christmas Announcement.
Don't put off until the last moment. Come at once and
make your selections. We will put them aside for you. We
have the finest line of Christmas Goods. Our stock com
prises almost everything. We want you to come and see
what we have. If we have not what you want we will get
it for you. We have just received another lot of those
ELEGANT POIITIERES. If you want to see something
nice call and see them. If our line of Music Racks, and
Cabinets, Wall Pockets, B’oot Rests and other small novel
ties don’t just suit you, then you can’t very well be suited.
Look at the large assortment of Table and Piano Covers.
We have a larger stock of Lambrequins than all the other
stores put together.
“Now is the Winter of our Discontent” was written
before Lounges were made. Had Shakespeare lived in our
day and enjoyed the quiet rest that comes to one who is the
happy possessor of one of our Elegant Couches, he would
never have written the famous tragedy wherein the wicked
Gloucester is made to prate of “our winter of discontent,”
for in the enjoyment of such a luxury such a feeling would
never have come over the famous bard, or to any one else
who will invest in one of those Luxurious Lounges or Re
clining Chairs. Our stock of Chairs is beyond comparison.
We have plenty of money, so you can get plenty of
time on anything you may want to buy for CHRISTMAS
or NEW YEAR’S.
