10 GIVE AWAY COAL
EAGLES WILL GIVE I5o TONE TO THE
 POOR.
Cold Christmas Season VIII Be Made Warm and Cheerful for the Poor
 of Montgomery.

The Montgomery Aerie of Eagles will this week undertake an extensive and practical charity. The Eagles propose to give away during the holidays no less than 15O tons of coal to the poor and needy
 The committee having this matter in charge has already made arrangements for extensive shipments of coal from the Bir- mingham district. The Eagles expect that this coal will be in Montgomery ready for delivery by Tuesday Wednesday,
 The coal will be sent out immediately to needy families. It will be piled in the streets. probably near the police station and as the names of the needy are brought to the committed loads of coal will be sent out. The carts of the city will no doubt be used to distribute the coal among the poor and cold.
 The committee of the Eagles which has the charity in charge is as follows: Berto H. Johnson. James W. Smith. George Preiss and W. W. Mccullough.
 The Eagles decided that Christmas char ity in this season could take no more ef- fective force than the distribution of coal. Coal. necessity of life. Is selling at a very high figure. and the poor who will suffer during the Christmas season for necessities will suffer most for heat and warmth.
 The committee having the charity in charge requests the ministers of the city especially, and any one else who may feel interested to furnish the names of people who may be in need of coal. The names may be given to any member of the com mittee. The Eagles will do the rest.

sociation should be authorized under charter to buy, sell and manufacture cotton and do a general banking busi- ness.
 Let each of the cotton States, through a law to be passed oy the Legislature, establish Bureau or Cotton Statistics in connection with the Horticultural Department and to guarantee 5 per cent on shares of the Association. levy a tax of 20 cents per 100 pounds on all cotton raised for the purpose of paying the expenses Of the Bureau and to build up a treasury sur plus to meet any possible demand for interest on shares"
 This, of course, Is put forth as permanent plan. Its author also offered temporary plan which is in line with the move ment becoming universal to arrange with bankers to advance pro-rate per bale to the farmers who will send their cotton being held now to port cities or favorable interior points. This should all be done under the Cotton Growers Protective Association.

ELECTRIC CURRENT.

For Power Purposes in Water P1ants. W. J. Hanley In General Electric Com
 pany Review.
 On account of inadequate water sup ply the authorities of this city decided about two years ago to construct an auxiliary reservoir having a caracity of 600, ,000, 900 gallons. On the afst of the present year, the new Board of Public Service took charge of the city affairs, decided on the location of this reser- voir, and asked for propositions for constructing and equipping the same and connecting it by means of large mains to the old reservoir, located some distance away. The estimates which were received proved to be in excess of the amount of money on hand; the original amount, raised by a bond sale, having become depleted to the extent of some $30,000 or $40, 900. The writer, acting with the manager of the local electric plant (the Lima Electric Railway and Light Company, then took up the cause in the interest of electrically driven pumps vs. steam driven pumps.
 In demonstrating the economy of electrically operated pumps. 1t was pointed out to the Board of Rn.cf.c- Affairs that such pumps could b6 in- stalled for one-third of the cost of a steam driven plant for the purpose. It was further called to the attention of the Board that the 100000. 900 gallons of water necessary to fill the reservoir must all be pumped within an average period of seventy days during the spring freshet in a large creek near by, so that whatever plant might be installed would operate during not more than ninety days year Therefore that the rl a laying up of the pump equipment and getting 1t ready for operation in the spring, together with the hauling of coal by wagons over distance of three and one-half miles from the nearest railroad-would be prohibitively high. On the 18th of July formal specifica- tions were sent out. The Manager of the Lima Electric Railway and Light Company, with the cooperation of some public spirited citizens, submitted a proposition for the work complete, in cluding two I-14-100-514-20 volt General Electric three- phase induction motors directed connected to two 1S-inch volute centrifugal pumps operating against head of 45 feet. The contract was awarded to the above bidders, and work was started. the Lima Electric Railway and Light Company entering into a contract with the city to supply current at 3 cents per kilowatt-hour. -
 An interesting feature of this in- stallation Is that the times at which the central station manager operates these motor driven pumps are inmate rial, provided he succeeds in pumping 2 the necessary amount of water in the high water period. This fact enables him to operate the pumps at times dur ing the twenty-four hours that will best help to fill the valley" of his load curve.
 The manager of the local company and the writer are now also figuring on 6.oo0,0o0 gallon electrically driven pump to replace the old steam driven pump in the old water works.

Washington. Dec. 17.-(Special. )-Knowl- edge of the fact that two representatives from the State of Warrington called upon President Roosevelt this morning to pro- test against the shipping in German vessels of lumber from the Puget Sound territory to Panama for use by this Government has caused no little comment among Southern representatives who represent districts hay ing large lumber interests.
 The wonder among them is why the Gov ernment should buy lumber 90 far from the isthmus as Puget Sound when 1t could yet mora than it needed on the Gulf coast, where 1t grows in superabundanee The amount thus far shipped from Puget Sound is 8, 900, 900 feet and Admiral Walker says a good many million more feet will be re- Quired.
