AGED HENRY COUNTY
 CITIZEN IS DEAD
Residence of William McLain Is Burned at Abbeville-Other
 AbbeviIe News.

Abbeville, January u.-(Special)- Samuel A. Gissendainer. one of the oldest citizens of this county, died at his home near Otho Monday and was buried yes- terday. He was about 73 years old and was a gallant Confederate soldier. By untiring effort MT. Gissendainer amassed a competence and was one of the most successful farmers of this county. He is survived by wife and ten children.
 Capt. R. P. Hobson delivered his lec- ture on "Greater Navy to large and appreciatiye audience at the College audi torium Saturday evening.
 Rev. MT. Wood of Birmingham has ac- cepted the call to Abbeville Baptist church and has assumed charge of the work. This church has been without q pastor since the death of Rev R. II. Gilbert. which sad event occurred while he was taking vacation last summer.
 The residence occupied by William Me- Lain was destroyed by fire about o'clock last night. None of the family were at home when the fire was discovered and it ha, gained such headway when assis- tance arrived that nothing could be saved from the house although most of the eff fleets of the kitchen were saved.
 MT. McIains loss Is partly covered by insurance, but II. II. Martin, the owner of the dwelling, had no insurance. The fire Is supposed to have been caused by blaze from the fireplace.
 Judging from the number of wagons seen on the streets every day the farm CTS in this section are hauling out a large amount of guano. Whether or not they will decrease the acreage of cotton this year remains to be seen as there seems to be no organized movement in this county in regard to this matter.

HUNTSVILLE SPRING
 IS AS PURE AS DEW
Expert Analysis contradicts the Re, ports That Have Been Spread
 Broadcast.

Huntsville, January 11.-tSpecial.)-The fact that water from the Huntsville spring Is exceedingly pure, as ascertained by government chemist, made public to- day was received with great joy by the citizens. A short time ago an Alabama chemist created much excitement by de- claring that the fa-lous spring from which the water supply of Huntsville Is derived, was contaminated and full of disease producing bacteria.
 The health board called meeting and advised all people to boil their water. On suggestion of Congressman Richardson, jug of the water was sent to Dr. Wylie at Washington and after thorough bac- teriological analysis. he telegraphed last night that the water Is exceedingly pure. If the fact had been established that Huntsville spring water was impure, it would have been a public calamity. There was already talk of moving the city waterworks to Flint river.

MEETING AT GooDWATER.
Farmers Agree to Reduce Cotton
 Acreage This Season.

Goodwater, January n.-(Special.)- There was a large mass meeting in Good water yesterday evening by the farmers from Coosa, Clay and Tallapoosa, to dis cuss the cotton question with which the south has to deal at the present time. resolution was adopted and each and every farmer present agreed to go into a binding contract In pursuance of the plan advocated and presented by D. H. Riddle In short the plan is as follows:
 Have the farmers in the south to or ganize a bank and pay their subscription in cotton at 10 cents per pound, the bank to hold the cotton for twelve months be- fore selling, and that the holders of cot ton subscribe enough to the capital stock of the bank in cotton to make the assets of the bank two million bales of cotton, thereby taking that much off of the market for twelve months, with the further provision that each farmer sub scribing puts the condition in his con- tract that he will take additional stock in the bank next year of all the cotton he raises in excess of two-thirds of what he has grown the present year. thereby cur tailing the production of cotton next year to nine million bales.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Montgomery, January 11.-(Special.)- )- are making a grand fight in the supreme court to have the commissioners of the county follow the mandates of the consti- tuition and give them court house. The constitution provides that certain beats in the county shall, on vote, locate a court house, which election gave the place to Calcis. The commissioners, how ever, refuse to build the court house, because they contend that the consttu- tion had no right to thus legislate and that also the people of the beats in- terested did not comply with the law. The litigation now on Is a mandamus proceeding brought by the people of Cal els to force the commissioners to erect the house and jail at once. The town Of Calcis is represented by T. l.. Bulger and J. w. Strother of Dadeville, and the commissioners by Whiteson & Dryer and Cecil Browne of Talladega, and Brown &c Leeper of Columbiana.
 These decisions were handed down by the supreme court today:

LICENSE TAXES PAST DUE.
MT. Gambill and His Assistants Are
 Very Busy.

License Inspector A. A. Gambill and his two assistants, John B. Reid and J. J. Boggan, are doing a rushing busi- ness now. All licenses for doing busi- ness in the city of Birmingham become due on January 1 and delinquent on Jan uary 15. After that time the inspector commences to make arrests for doing business without license.
 Last January the license collections amounted to over $S1,000, and the col lections this month, 1t is thought, will exceed those figures by several thousand dollars.
