How They Make Shot.

"Do YOU know the method of max
ing shot has never changed?" "No."
"Well, it's fact" said tho shot maker.
"Hundreds OF years ago shot were
made in just the same Way as 1t Is
now. Seems strange, DOESN'T It, that
with all the improvements In other
lines none has been made in this? Oh,
yes, plenty OF men have tried to lind
some better way, but they have all had
to give it up and go hack to the old
shot tower. They wanted to get rid OF
the high tower, fer that is the most ok
pensive part OF the plant.
"You know, shot is made by pouring
melted composition of lead and arsenic
through a screen or from big ladle
with serrated edge at the top OF the
tower and letting it fall into tank OF
water. The drops Of lead get perfectly
round on their way down just as rain
dropsf and by the time they reach the
water they are cold enough so that
they do not fatten out when they
strike. Then the water finishes the
cooling process.
"They have tried dropping the lead
through big tube, with L. blast OF
cold air against the outside, and they
have tried dropping 1t through glycer-
in, but none of these ways seem to
work. Why can't they improve on it
Well, suppose the fellow who started
to making shot found out the right
way. It's just following the course
that Nature takes In making hail, and
I don't suppose they can beat her at
her own game"

Don't Gossip,

Kind Words.
Here are a few lines from Rober3
Louis Stevenson which are worth re-
Wondering:
there's too much bad in the best OF US,
And so much good in the worst OF US,
That it scarcely behooves any OF us,
To talk about the rest OF us !"
The disposition to see the faults OF
others, and when they are seen to criti-
CHE and talk about them Is all too
common. There can be no question
that there are faults enough to be
found. We are all ready to more than
furnish our share. The trouble, how
ever, is that wa are SO much harder on
the faults OF others than on our own.
This does not mean that we are not
to speak of the faults of others. There
are times when we must condemn
them, but this should be al
ter we have tried to set matters
straight. Public rebuke should be
sparingly INDUCED in. But gossip lis
different; that is never meant for cor
rection, but always works for injury
and hurt. We have no business gossip
ing about the little faults OF our friends.
The great point il, however, that we
deal honestly with such faults in our
selves, rather than tell about them
when others are guilty. We would nc
doubt be greatly shocked to hear any
one telling OF our own faults in the
same way that we tell of others. Pos.
sibly our particular faults may be
different, yet be just as glazing and
plain to everyone else. 1t is becoming
in us to be very modest and careful as
to what we say.
This does not mean that we can
safely take it for granted that faults
are necessary part of human nature
and therefore can be complacently
borne with in ourselves and others.
That would be unfortunate and false
to the facts. What it means is that
we must be charitable and loving to
others, looking for the best that is in
them, while towards ourselves we bear
an attitude of unflnching strictness.
We must not excuse faults in ourselves,
nor be unjust to others who have faults
even greater than ours. We are faulty
but useful SO many they be.

 The issue in the campaign IS the ques- tion raised in the recent dispute over the expenditure of city funds for the completion of the Hanceville district school, in which an injunction is now pending in Cullman chancery court. It is said that a proposed dispensary also figures in the campaign. The contest be- tween the two tickets is very close SC close that it is claimed that two or three votes will decide the matter
