DECISION FAvORS THE LOWER COURT Supreme Court Passes on tlec-
 ton Case BALLOTS NOT NUMBERED While Law Should Be obeyed, Ballots Are Not Invalid When There Are
 No Other Irregularities.
 Late Decisions.
BALLOTS NOT NUMBERED

Montgomery, November 21.-(Special.)- In upholding the lower court in the case of Montgomery vs. Henry, from the probate court of St. Clair county, today, the supreme court ruled that the provision of the election law requiring that ballots be numbered Is not mandatory, and thai while it should be observed in all cases failure to do so does not invalfdate such ballots if there is not others showing that there was irregularity ill the conduct of the election.
 c. C. Montgomery and W. E. Henry were rival candidates for tax collector of St. Clair county. Montgomery received 963 and the other 976 votes Montgomery contested the election on the ground that In four beats the ballots were not num- bered as the law directs. The lower court held that as there was no charge of fraud or showing that the will of the people had been frustrated, the election as to these beats was legal and the vote should stand. The high court, in an opinion written by Justice Denson. agrees with it. Numerous authorities were cited to show that while such directions are di- rectory and should be obeyed they are not of such importance as to invalidate any election if not carried out, when they are the only ground of complaint. Working on Fifth Division. The supreme court is at work on the Fifth division, which Is composed of the counties of Chambers, Chiffon, Coosa, FL more, Lee, Macon, Russell and Tallapoo- sa.

Need More Money.

With all the advantages of the home at this time. it needs more help. The appro- priation of $125 year for each inmate is far from adequate, and must be made
 larger if the state desires to do what 1t should for the men who are now helpless and dependent upon that source alone for aid. It is believed by many citizens that s200 a year for each inmate would not be too much, and then all the money for im- provement would have to come from friends as contributions. The grounds will have to be fixed up. and they should be, so that the home will represent the ideas of it's founders. It is necessary to have money to maintain the fine system of waterworks and sanitary sewers now in
 use and to provide for many comforts and necessities in a way that should be done. All this will have to be impressed on the hearts of the people and the legis- lators, and it must come to the point where they will be willing to go down into the pockets of the state and their own pockets to meet the real and legit- mate demands of the home. There does not seem a work of charity in this, but a labor of love for men who have stood
 to the state when it needed friends, and
 had to call to arms all those who could
 bear a gun They now need the state, and it is regarded as safe guess that the state always appreciative. will not go
 back on them.
 Cottage Plan Adopted.
 The plan of work at the home is such as to give the best results. There are sev- era1 cottages and each cottage has it's own family home. The eight inmates are given a cook and taken care of in a
 household kind of way They are thus
 made much more comfortable than if
 herded in a big hall with all the attend ant troubles of such arrangements. This
 has been productive of little family de- velopments in the home that have been very pleasant. For instance, one old sol- dier said Sunday: Come by and see our

A Russian Heroine.

Side lights on the real cause of
the "hot water" in which Russia
is always finding herself continue
to appear. ut was Madam AL
chevski, of Harkoff, however"
writes A. H. Ford, in the New
Idea Woman's Magazine for May,
"who first dared to suggest mental
Improvement for the peasant girls
of Russia. At first, and that was
thirty years ago, grand duchesses,
wives of mobiles and high officials
threw themselves into the move
ment. All Russia was ablaze with
a zeal for educating the masses.
Homes of the wealthy were
thrown open as night schools, and
on Sunday mornings thousands
f1ocked to the first free public
schools Russia had ever known.
Suddenly chilling blast was felt.
The Emperor did not approve of
popular education. High officials
at once commanded their wives to
forget there were such things as
peasant girls desirous of education,
society withdrew its approval, and
houses of the rich were once more
closed to the children of the poor.
Then it was that the bravery of
Madam Alchevsky shone forth
more brightly She defed the
government, and donating her en-
tire wealth to the cause, turned
her private residence into public
school, where any poor girl de-
string an education might come at
night or on Sundays. For many
years this was the only free school
in all Russia"

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for
which such varied and useless lot
of remedies have been suggested.
To say that it can be cured is, there
tore, bold statement to make, but
Chamberlain Pam Balm, which en-
Joys an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment of
this disease. One application of
Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and
hundreds of sufferers have testified
to permanent cures by its use.

such quick relief and costs but a

New Source of silk.

A wearable silk fabric made from
gelatine solution is manufactured in
Glasgow with undoubted success. n
can be dyed any color and takes all
shades with brilliant luster that rivals
even that Of natural silk. The fiber is
prepared by ejecting fine threads of a
strong solution of gelatine from very
small orihces on an endless band con.

are reeled. After leaving the small orr
fees the gelatine solidifes in a continu-
Gus fiber a thousandth OF an inch in
diameter. possessing a Iuster even great
er than that Of a natural silk. The
fiber in this state. however. is unsuitable
for use. as It is easily spoiled by water.

FINDS NEW USE FOR GLASS
Experiments of French Inventor Re-
suit in the Discovery of
New Method.

A practical inventor and scientist
NJ. Garchey, known all over France. ha.
made a very interesting experiment in
Lyons. He has discovered an entirely
new method, says a recent report, o.
melting all kinds of old glass and trans
forming it into material as hard and
serviceable as Belgian blocks. In
1898 he obtained permission from the
municipal authorities of Lyons to pave
a portion of one OF their main streets
with this new material and thus prove
to the world the value of his discoy-
cry. The street selected was a princi-
pal thoroughfare which was under con-
tinuous and heavy traffic. and yet the
glass is still as sound as when first
put down.
NJ Garchey claims for "ceramo-c rys.
tai, as he calls it, that il can be manu-
featured at a much more reasonable
figure than any other reliable building
material now on the market in Europe
or America, and that it is practically
indestructible. II is also highly attrac-
tive and artistic in appearance, and
