DEATH or D. D. McDoNALD.
He Was . Highly Esteemed Citizen of
 Barbour County.


 Eufaula, Dec. 1.-(Special. .)-D. D. Mcdonald a prominent and influential citizen of the county died very unex- pectedly at his home at Pea River Sta- ton near Clio yesterday. He was stricken with paralysis early In the morning and expired in the afternoon. He was widely known and esteemed For forty years he was superintendent of his church Sunday school and was devout Christian. His wife and several young children survive him. The interment took place near his home today.
 Passengers on the train bound for Ozark, were considerably alarmed last night when about three miles beyond Clayton a piece of iron resembling a large washer from a bolt used in pin ming the tresfle works crashed through the window of the coach with noise that sounded like rifle shot. The train was running at full speed. and the missile struck against a win dow shutter. smashing t and only missed J. T. Kendall. a travelling mans head few inches.
 Business was practically suspended yesterday and most of the stores clos- ed on account of Thanksgiving Day. Interesting services were held at the First Methodist church. where Rev. Bertram Brown preached an able and eloquent sermon.

| to the top of the coil and is piped off.
 The liquid products are redistilled ir a secondary still into the various oils and by-products. Thus. the thin, ann | ber-colored oil, which is one of the pro- ducts of the first distillation, is chang. | ed in the second still into wood spirit | or turpentine. light oil, and heavy l oil, the residuum being tar. This pfo. cess. which is the one carried on al several successful plants, Is only ont of those which the Forest Service il I to take up critically.
 The outfit for plant with a capa' city of 100 cords of wood every thirty six hours. which is as small as car be profitably handled. consists of a | battery" or two retorts holding five cords of wood each. These retorts are set in brick work. about 50.000 bricks being required for a "battery.' In addition are needed a coil CT condenser of copper. a copper still of capacity
 of 1000 gallons. a second condenser sufficient collecting and storing tanks boiler of not less than ten horsepow- CT, and pumps to handle the products All piping should be. if possible, ot copper. except after the second distil- lation, and the pumps should be brass lined.
 From such a plant the yield should be approximately from 75 to 100 gal Ions of oil or tar per cord, and from ten to fifteen gallons of wood turpen- tine There are also produced about twenty-five bushels of charcoal and pyro1igneous acid in quantities about equal to the oil. The amount of pro- ducts is in direct ratio to the resinous constituents in the raw material. The value of the products is variable. Ii properly made, the tar should bring the oF ,.ax. kor md the spirits sell for from IS to cents
 below the market price of spirits of turpentine. If no tar is made. and oil Is produced, the latter must be made into special preparations. such as wood preservatives. paints. stains, disinfec- tants. or any one of dozen other pro- ducts. The demand for wood creosote oil in the state in which 1t comes from the still Is limited.
 The application of wood distillation to the utilization of waste material both from the lumber mills and from the cut-over coniferous forests of tho South is beyond question. Any mill waste which Is rich fin resinous pro- ducts can be used, and the very best results are obtained from the down tim Der and stumps ifs the cut-over pine forests. Most of the lumbermen have timber holdings which contain material suitable for distillation. The great sawmills of the Pacific coast have a large proportion Of such material in the slabs which now have little or no
 use. By using the down timber in the
 woods the fire risk is greatly minimiz-
 ed. since any and all material suitable
 for wood distillation is necessarily of
 most inflammab1e nature. Tn many
 cases even the roots as well as the
 stumps may be used for distillation,
 thus greatly lowering the cost Of
 clearing land for agricultural purpos-
 es.
 The Forest Service is most desirous
 to secure the hearty cooperation of all
 who are interested in the industry.
 Suggestions and ideas of a practical
 nature will be gladly received and
 carefully considered.

TO CANVASS THE BEATS
COTTON PROPAGANDA IN EVERY
 ALABAMA COUNTY.
AT Noon Today Every County in State Will Hold n Meeting to Perfect
 Complete Unit.

Today marks the beginning of sys- tematic convass in every beat of the State for pledges to hold cotton for fif- teen cents. At the noon hour or earlier in each beat of every county a meet ing of that unit of the Southern Cot ton Association has been called in ac- cordance with the edict of President Harvie Jordan.
 The beat meetings. besides inaugu- rating the fifteen-cent cotton canvass, |. are for the purpose of naming from two to five delegates to the county conven- tions which are to be held next Satur- day in the different county beats. These county meetings will result in the choice of from one to three delegates to the State convention to be held in Montgomery January g.
 The rousing success of the called convention in Montgomery ednesday has no doubt given an impetus to the movement in the remote precincts of the county. The vigor of the campaign in behalf of this emergency propaganda was added to by the enthusiasm which characterized the State meeting. This is the salutary effect alone of the con vention. More substantial results of Wednesdays meeting are expected to come from the work pledged to be done by the representative delegates who come to Montgomery. These men have been supplied, with literature in abundance from the office of Presi- dent W. H. Seymour. of the State div ision here. This will be distributed in the next few days and provisions for the active canvass will be made right away If it has not already started in most counties.
 Arrangements will be made for re- ceiving some sort of reports from dif- ferent parts of the State on the pro- gress of the canvass and some idea will be had of the number of bales which have been tied up for fifteen cents.

WOOD DIsTnLATION,
The Forest Service Takes Up the Study of This Method of IIfilixina Wasfe.


 Washington. D. C.. Nov s0.-wood distillation has been tried in this coun- try so extensively of late. and has been brought so prominently to the attention of the Forest Service as a means of utilizing waste in numbering that careful and thorough investiga- tion is to be made by the Service. cov- ering both what has been accomplished in this industry and what may be done to reduce 1t to more scientific princi- ples and to place 1t upon a sound com merciaI basis. The various processes now in use will be studied and com pared, as well as the resulting products and the uses to which they are or may be put.
 To push this study to early and use- full results with the least possible de- lay, Mir. Thomas W. Pritchard, a prac- tical expert in wood distillation, has been engaged by the Forest Service to devote his entire time to the work MT. Pritchard. who is trained chemist, has for several years been connected with successful distillation plants in the South. He has already begun his work with the Forest Service. and will at once communicate with the owners of wood od-distil1ation plants throughout the country to first determine the degree of success to which the business has reached. He will then closely examine the methods which have resulted most successfully. and attempt to extend their use. He will pay particular att tention to the extent to which lumber men may adopt wood distillation as a means of turning into useful products the tops slabs. and other waste of sawmills, which are often at present a total loss
 Destructive distillation consists in driving out all the liquid matters in the wood and collecting and condensing them afterwards. Intense heat is em- pIoyed and the original form of the wood is changed chemically Into var ious liquids and pure carbon. The wood is closely placed in a steel retort, with the doors tightly sealed. and fires are started in the furnace beneath.
 Tn a few hours distillation begins, The liauids are driven from the wood. are changed to vapors. and pass of through a pipe at the top of the re- tort, which leads to a condenser or worm. immersed in water. where they are condensed in the order of their gravity. Again restored to liquid form. they then pass through the rest of the coil and run into collecting tanks. The gas, the lightest of the products, rises

Making the streets Attractive.

Leslie's Weekly.
 We shall need to bestir ourselves more than we have done if we ever catch up with some of the cities of Eu- rope not only in the matter of good municipal government but also In the less important. though none the less valuable, particular of municipal adorn- ment. France and Belgium are far in advance of us In laws and regulations affecting bill-posting and other forms of public advertising and also in the encouragement offered in various ways to private citizens to cooperate in the work of beautifying streets, parks. residences and public buildings. An annual prize has been granted by the Paris municipal council for some years past for the most aristically designed house front. and recently a competi- ton has been opened in Paris under the same auspices for the most artistic sign boards. the prizes offered being sufficient to stimulate the efforts of inc best living French artists. The possibilities lying in this direction of adding to the beauty and attractive- ness of business streets are obviously very great
