WINSTON COUNTY is
GROWING RAPIDLY
Increase In Taxable Values Has Been
Strong for Past Five
Years.

Double Springs, September 9.-(special)
Winston county. so long considered one of
the poorest and most benighted counties
in the state is from intellectual agricul-
tural and Industrial standpoints forging
as rapidly to the front as any county in
the state Five years ago the taxable
values Of Winston totalied s605,OOO. The as
SCISSORS books this year show a total of
twelve hundred and sixteen thousand dol
lars
These values have been brought up by
reason of the increased interest in agri-
cultural industries, without the assistance
of new railroads or other public utilities.
This being a fact, it is safe to predict
that the building of the Illinois Central
railroad across the county, which Is rap
idly progressing. will open up much new
mineral timber and agricultural terri
tory, will again more than double the
taxable values of the county in the next
three years. That the Winston county
school house is keeping pace with the in
dustries is evidenced by the fact that
greater percentage of the applicants for
license to teach school OBTAIN license in
this county than from any other county
in North Alabama.

MUSIC FEATURE At
THE EXPOSITION
Most Complete Pipe Organ in
the United States
WILL Be AT JAMESTOWN
viii Weigh Ten Tons, and Will Be
Installed on the Stage of the
Auditorium and Con-
venton Hall.
WILL BE AT JAMESTOWN

NLrfou September 9.-(special.) Music
will be a most attractive feature at the
jamestown exposition. and the programme
now being arranged by the department OF
congresses and special events promises tc
be most beautiful and varied.
One of the most interesting features OF
the musical display Will be the installa-
ton of the most complete pipe organ
that has ever been built in the United
States The instrument, which weighs ten
tons, will be installed on the stage OF
the Auditorium and Convention hall, the
central and one of the largest buildings
of the exposition. The organ is of mann
moth proportions and will occupy a space
Is feet in depth and fill the entire space
from wall to wall across the back of the
stage. The great pipes will extend from
the floor to the ceiling, distance of thir-
ty feet.
The organ will be operated by an cleo
trio motor, installed in the basement of
the building. Unlike other great organs
in music halls and at previous exposl-
tions this one will be so constructed that
the public may pass around and through
1t, and examine Its every part. A pas
sage into the air chamber will permit the
public to see the hundred keys operated
by the organist.
One of the foremost manufacturers of
modern pipe organs in the world has en-
tered into contract with the exposition
company to install this great instrument
and will spend several months In its con-
structon. 1t has been stated tina this or
gan will equal II no surpass In complete
ness and exquisite finish the $4,000 organ
that was installed in Festival hall at the
St Louis exposition, which attracted so
much attention at that great fair.
Famous organists.
Many of he most eminent organists of
the world have made application to the
exposition officials to be allowed to oper-
ate the instrument, and this matter is now
being arranged. 1t is the purpose of the
department of congresses and special
events to afford this privilege to as many
famous organlsts as possible, so that pub
lie performances and organ recitals will
be going on continually during the period
of the exposition.
The fundamental feature of this won
derful instrument is the UNIVERSAL air
chest, which provides absolute and uni
form pressure to each and every pipe
under all conditions, something that is
highly important and which only the uni
versal air chest can supply.
The keyboards on this instrument will
be closer together than on the ordinary
organ; thus the frequent adjustments of
both the hands and the arm are avoided,
the stop knobs" at the side of the keys
have been discarded for the stop keys"
