SOUTH IS ATTACKED
In Statements Made by Representative
Lowering Anent Erroneous ESti-
mates on Cotton Crop.

Mr.. Lowering of Massachusetts, who
is said to be the largest buyer OF cot
ton for manufacture in the country,
is preparing to resist the efforts OF
southerners to prevent adoption OF
his resolution calling for new es-
innate Of this seasons cotton crop.
He talked with Chairman Wadswortn
of the committee on agriculture, Weo-
nesday, with a view to securing an
early hearing for his measure.
Il believe that the whole system or
government estimates is bad" he salu
Wednesday night. 1T is bad TOR the
manufactures, who is the Legitimate
purchaser OF cotton, and in New Eng
land it is especially bad for the oper-
atlyes whose wage scale is based on
the margin between the market price
Of raw cotton and the selling price OIL
prints.
Following the December estimate
of the department OF agriculture, there
was jump in the price OF cotton
which entirely wiped out this mar
gin and the mill operatives are oil
rect sufferers. AS l have pointed out
in my resolution, the subsequent re-
port of cotton actually ginned to De-
cenber l showed larger totals tor
several of the important cotton states
than the entire estimates for those
states ISSUED. by Secretary Wilson's
department, and this in spite OF the
fact that in. all Of those states De
cember is a good month for ginning,
and the reports from those states
show considerable cotton not yet
ginAed.
These census bureau figures I'M
Questionably show the department OF
agriculture's estimate to have been an
underestimate.
I believe it to be the first duty
OF the government to protect the Ie-
Ultimate buyer, not the Spectator.
ITO very great extent the oppo.
sition Of the southern growers may be
attributed to the fact that they, or
most OF them, are spectators In. cot
ton; the cotton manufacturers OF New
England are buyers for legitimate
uses, not for speculation
Representative Coverings resolu.
ton introduced in the house has
called forth a number OF protests
from southern member
The Charlotte, N. c., cotton ex-
change board Of trade sent the fol
lowing communication to Representa-.
tive Webb of North Carolina:
I'VE wish to protest against. any
further estimates by the agricultural
bureau this season, as they tend to
upset business conditions, and ask
that you use your influence to defeat
any resolution introduced for this
purpose"
The Charlotte Bonded Warehouse
company sent Mr.. Webb this teIe-
gram:
Note proposed new department cot
ton estimate January 10, estimates OF
Miss Giles, Times-Democrat and de-
partment ran together. Census not
yet proved them incorrect. Business
has been blocked all season by re-
ports and resulting fluctuations. Ii
new estimate by department is order
ed all business will be held up until
the new report and it's effect is
over"
David Clark of Raleigh, N. c.; H.

other cotton manufacturers also have
protested to North Carolina members

 "The last day of the reunion will be further signalized by the laying of the corner stone of the S5O000 county court house now in process of erection. Hon. B. E. Conner who was educated at ar- rior Stand Macon county, has been in- vited to make an address, as has also Gov William Dorsey Jelks. native of the county, State Superintendent of Education I. w. Hill. also of Tuskegee, will speak and Judge J. A. Bilbro, now Of Gadsden, will make an address. Hon. J. O.

CTS" and up through the graver and sand is used when the filter tanks are cleaned
 and this is done at least once in two days, and when necessary every day. The
 water is constantly flowing from res- ervoir No. ? into the filters through the strainers into the clear water basin, and then on into town. There Is no still water in the filter, and there is none in the clear water basin. The filter plant at Ca
 haba has a capacity. with its present equipment of thirty tanks, of twenty mill lion gallons per day. It's present consump- tion, however, is ten million.
 The water in both basins of the reser- voir. and in the clear water basin is daily analyzed by MT. Nibecker, the
 chemist When it comes pouring out of the pipe into the reservoir the water, though muddy. Is nevertheless wholesome. It does not contain now, and has not
 yet been known to contain, any serious disease germs. Like almost every other
 water. if contains in its unpurified form
 what is known as "the intestinal germ" bacillus coli communs. This germ. which is common to almost all water. IS, how ever harmless. Wherever found, how
 ever, it furnishes the assumption that there Is foecal pollution in the water. The Altering process eliminates this germ and all other germs completely rom the water. When the filter tanks are filled
 with water there forms on the surface of the sand mat of gefatfnous film, through which the water slips and sinks readily. but which the intestinal germ is unable to penetrate. The germs are there~ fore left on this gelatinous film when the water flows off. and in the morning when the filters are cleaned they are swept by the water that comes up through the strainers out into the sewer. By this pro- cess the water is completely purified Of all germs when it enters the clear water basin.

on the part of the Birmingham Water ntendent of the water works company, when asked yesterday by the representa- tive of The Age Herald. who had just re- turned from the filter plant, whether or not the water supplied by the company was usually filtered. said:
 Since the filter plant at North Bir- mingham has been erected every drop of water that has been sent to the city by that plant, has been filtered, Since the filter plant was erected at the Ca haba pumping station. every drop of wa ter for any and all purposes, that has flowed to the city from that plant has been filtered thoroughly. Analyses have been made and kept by competent author ity. and the records of these analyses may be produced. The Birmingham Wa ter Works company has done this cheer fully and gladly. as a matter of precau- tion to itself as well as to its patrons. It was for this purpose that the com- pany spent three hundred thousand dol lars. and 1t would be absurd for any cor poration or set of men to spend that amount of money for that purpose and then fail to carry out the object for which the money was expended. l am glad that you went out to the plant and examined it, and J am gratified to know that you are pleased by the precaution we have taken tc, insure pure water for this city. I believe that any one and every one who would make such exami- nation would leave our plants satisfied that this company has left nothing un- done to provide its patrons with water as good as water can be made

plant is a delight to look upon. The water In it is as clear as the proverbal crys- tai. The basin varles from 17 feet to 20 feet, but in all portions of the basin. the bottom is clearly visible. and in all DOT tons except those parts where the water enters through the 30 inch pipe, one could readily read, through IT or 20 feet of water, an ordinary newspaper laid at the bottom. The water in this clear wa ter basin is constantly fresh. The basin practically empties itself every ten hours. Ii leaves the reservoir basin No. 2, en- ters the filter plant. flows out of the fil- ter plant and empties into the clear wa ter basin and rapidly rushes on its way to the city. It will be seen. therefore, that all water furnished by the Birming- ham Water Works company Is thorough ly filtered and purified before 1t enters the pipe leading Into the city. There is no way possible by which the water could become contaminated in it's rush to town. The pipes are made of cast iron, and the flow of water through them is so strong that they are kept continually clean
 All the water supplied by the Birming- ham Water Works company to the city of Birmingham, for any and all purposes. is subjected to this rigorous process Of puriflcaton. Drinking water. water for domestic purposes, for fires and for all other objects, comes out of the clear water basin. The water that comes out of the fire hydrants is just as clear and just as nure as the water drawn from spigot for drinking or cooking purposes. In word. all water used by Birmingham IS thoroughly filtered by the Birmingham Water Works company before it reaches the city, and 1t is filtered by the most scientific process known to the water ex- pert Analyses are made daily. filters are daily cleaned. and every precaution possible is taken to make and keep the water pure and healthful.

The water used by the Birmingham Wa ter Works company comes from the Ca haba river It is brought three miles across country and empties into the reser-
 voir just south of the filter plant In
 this reservoir there are two basins. av-
 eraging a depth of thirty feet. The water,
 when it empties into the first reservoir
 is exceedingly muddy, coming as it does
 fresh from the Cahaba river. In passing
 the second, it comes through a purifca-
 tion process. and is made appreciably
 clearer thereby. but the actual work of
 the purifeation by the litter process does
 not begin until the water passes from
 the reservoirs basin No. into the filter
 plant proper. Water enters the filter plant through a S0-inch pipe, and passes into the
 thirty Altering tanks inside the plant. These Altering tanks arc mace of stee! and are 15 feet in diameter. At the bottom
 of each are 700 "straners.n These strain CTS are made of brass. anc are aDout one inch in diameter. and contain on their
 oval surface one square inch and thirty perforations The strainers are set in circular form in the bottom of the tank
 On the top of these strainers is gravel inches in depth, and on top of the gravel Is sand three and one-haf feet in
 depth. The valves are so adjusted that
 the water may be forced into the filter
 tanks through either of two pipes It may
 be forced in through the strainers, and up
 through the gravel and sand. in which
 case it flows out and empties into a sewer
 and flows off: or it may be forced in through inlet No. ?, which is above the sand, and thereby sinks throuesh the sand and gravel, and flows ofr through tile straners. The firstN process-that is of forcing the water in through the 'strain-
