A QUEER OIL WELL.
It Was Bored for Salt Water in 1910
And Every November spouts OIL.

OIL operators who have visited the Ken
lucky oil fields this fall, says The 81.
Louis Republic, have been very much
puzzled over an old volcanic well in Rich
land, six miles from Barbourville The
well in question becomes disturbed reg
ularly every year during November, and
at intervals during this month, erupts
big streams of oil, gas, salt water mud
and other substances.
The we'll was drilled in 1910. near
Psyne'a Creek. by the old settlers, who
were after salt water, from which they
obtained their salt supply. The machin-
but the drillers got to a depth of $50 feet
where they encountered an immense
stream Of oil, which guBhed for several
days. The people did not know what the
oil was and were very much disgusted
at the nasty black stuff,' as they term
ed II. The effort to reach salt water was
abandoned and the drilling stopped. In
the course of time the bed Of the creek
changed. until now the water flows over
the mouth of the old we'll At any time
one may see the water bubbling up over
the hole. caused by gas pressure.
AS far back as the people in that vi
cinity can remember, the well has made
the annual eruptions. The disturbances
this year were somewhat earlier and at
tracted more than ordinary attention on
ton. At one time the water and oil were
cast up nearly fifty feet. Just after the
fiow a match may be touched to the creek
and fame will fit across the water, the
gases causing this.
Only a few feet from this old well is
the Hammons oil gusher, which makes
$50 barrels OF oil daily.

BUCKET SHOP LICENSE
SPOT COTTON DEALERS ARE NOT
INTERESTED.
Montgomery Cotton Men Say Propos-
ed Legislation Would Not Affect
Their Business-Illegitimate
Trading in Futures
Condemned.

MONTGOMERY dealers in spot cotton de-
clare that the proposed legislation to in
crease the State license of brokers deal
ing in futures will not affect their bust
ness and that they feel no interest in it.
F. F. tombstone Of tombstone & Ham
mond. however. said that the cotton
producers of Alabama would not be bene-
flied by legislation which would prohibit
trading In futures. He declared en-
phatieally that he was unalterably op-
posed tohllegitimate trading In futures.
Asked for an interview Mr.. tombstone
wrote this statement:
I'm reply to your inquiry, ] will state
that I am unalterably opposed to the
generally accepted term of bucket shops'
and would rejoice to see such institu-
tons prohibited from doing business In
the State and the men who gamble pure
and simple on the price OF cotton, wheat.
corn, etc. should be prohibited from
doing business with them, for believe
the South loses millions of dollars every
year In this way, but l do believe that
through the modern methods OF conduct
ing business, with future transaction, the
producer is enabled to realize more for
his product than he could otherwise, and
should dealing in futures in legitimate
way be prohibited in Alabama, the pro-
Queer of cotton would be the greatest
sufferer.
Should a customer Of mine own, we
will say 100 bales of spot cotton in Octo-
Der and believe that in May he could
realize a much better price for his cot
ton. 1 would advise him to sell his 100
bales Of spot and instead buy 100 bales of
May futures. He saves storage. interest,
insurance, loss in weight etc., and when
May comes he realizes a much larger
profit Cor smaller loss) on his futures,
than he would have on his spot cotton
after paying the above charges, and has
had the use OF his money. This Is a legiti-
mate trade and is different from the man
who has nothing but wind to sell and
takes the chances on the fluctuations in
the market. In many ways dealing in
futures enables an exporter to hedge his
sales to foreign spinners in such a man
ner that he can pay a much better price
for spot cotton than he could otherwise,
this helps to keep up the price Of spots.
II say wipe out the bucket shop specu-
lator IL possible. but under certain con-
ditions transactions in cotton futures help
to advance the value Of the staple and
1 do not think the producers Of cotton in
Alabama would be benefited by prohibit
ing our cotton buyers from manipulating
| their trades in cotton futures.
A representative Of Marks & Gayle said
his firm was not interested in legislation
| concerning future transactions in cotton
and he did not care to be interviewed.

REACHES SEAT OF TROUBLE.
Don't Try To Cure Hemorrhoids with
External Applications.

When 1t is such a well known fact that
hemorrhoids or piles is a disease original
ing In the morbid dilatation OF the veins
of the lower part of the rectum, 1t seems
incredible that people afflicted with thia
painful trouble should go on doctorinR
with external salves and washes, when
the diseased parts can only be reached by
an inward application.
The suppositories used in Pyramid Pile
Cure are composed of the most soothing
and healing oils and lotions known to
Materia Medica, and act on the diseased
veins and surrounding tissues like magic,
giving almost instant relief. The dilated
blood vessels are relieved. the irritation
of the mucous membrane ceases ano
bleeding is stopped.
The predisposing causez OF piles are
such as produce fullness Of the hemor-
rhoidal veins and impede the return of
blood from them. such as constipation,
sedentary habits. city life. pregnancy.
corsets. etc.; in fact the causes are al.
fully covered in very interesting little
book published by the Pyramid Drug Co..
Marshall. Mich., and the same will be
sent free to any address upon applica-
ton.
The general principles OF treatment are.
to the evident causes, active
habits. attention TO diet, and other n.y.
gienic rules. etc., avoidance Of constipa-
ton and each night the infection of a
Pyramid suppository to heal and cure the
ahiicted parts.
That this treatment has been effective
Is instanced by the testimony of thous-
ands of people who have been permanent
ly cured and by the evidence Of druggists:
the case of Mr.. Samuel GouIdie, SIC Moy-
Ave, Philadelphia, is a fair
sample:
For twelve long years I suffered terri,
BILE torture from piles. 1 had been under
two surgical operations, once in Cleve-
land. Ohio, in the year 1895 and once in
Toledo, Ohio. in 1900, and also tried E
number of salves and ointments from
different doctors. I at last found a per-
manent cure by only using two fifty cent
boxes of Pyramit Pile Cure. The first
two or three applications gave me relief

thank God for finding such a medicine as

LOST SIGHT OF
A Most Important Aid to Education


An important point often overlooked
by parents In bringing up children is the
use of proper food as an aid to education.
Children make wonderful progress
when scientifically fed.
A little woman in East Brentwood, N.
H., says of her girlhood days. II was
never very rugged and cold lunches and
hearty evening meals and improper food
soon began to work serious havoc.
Then came q period of self-boardlng
while away at college. ana IL is now easy
to sec where. in the haste to acquire
knowledge. the true knowledge of proper
and nourishing food was neglected. The
result. as may be imagined, was indiges-
ton, dyspepsia and constipation. Then
followed a weary time Of dieting and
one after another, physicians were con-
suited, till hope Of permanent cure was
abandoned. Then. two years after leav-
ing school. ! entered q new home as
bride and having grown wiser through
experience, / resolved to use food in ac-
cordance with hygienic principles. This
was also necessary as / could not eat
anything at all rich.
We commenced to use Grape-Nuts and
soon became convinced that it was the
most nutritious food we could obtain. I
rotieed an immediate Improvement in my
health. my indigestion became less mark.
ed and eventually left me for good.
1t IL now two vars that we have eaten
Grape-Nuts. regularly. and was never as
well IN my life as now. have gained
ten pounds in weight and can eat, with
cut causing the slightest distress, the
richest kind Of food as well as anyone,
the dyspepsia is entirely gone and con-
stipation never troubles me.
This may not interest others, but It is
Of great interest TO US, for II is our firm
belief that my present good health Is due
solely to the constant use Of Grape-Nuts
and we feel that we have great reason TO
be thankful to the maker OF such per-
feet and delicious food" Name given bx
