PLANS MADE
 FOR PRIMARY The County Committee Wrestled with Problem IT WILL TAKE $4OO HERE Clerks and Managers for Mont
 gomery Named. To Save Expenses All Members of the Committee VIII Serve AS Return ing omcers-Other Expenses
 Saved By Committee.

The Democratic Executive Commit tee of Montgomery County met In the City Court room of the county court house at noon yesterday to work out the local arrangements for holding congressional primary for the nomina- tion of a successor to the late A. A Wiley, as Congressman from the Sec ond Congressional District.
 The principal thing that the com niittee had to pass on was the money apportionment for this county in the expense arrangement of the Congress gressional Committee.
 It was brought out that Montgom- cry County made, or had been making charges against such elections that oth- CT counties did not. For instance 1t has been the custom for the Probate Judge of this county to charge $50 for copies of the registration lists while other counties have furnished them for nothing.
 The other important question that was discussed was the amount of pay the election clerks and managers ought to receive for their services and this developed the fact that If the county of Montgomery was allowed what 1t ngured that its actual expenses in helping to nominate a congress sional candidate would come to which would be about $400. that the s2200 that the congressional commit tee has in hand would leave some of the other eight counties in the district sadly lacking for means to hold an election.
 After a good deal of discussion the following resolution setting forth the position of this county in the matter was offered by A. H. Arlington and adopted.
 Arlington Resolution.
 Whereas, at a meting of the Demo- cratic Executive Commitee of the Sec ond Congressional District held at Montgomery on July 14th. 1908. 1t was provided that the chairman of the con Eressionai executive committee shall estimate the cost of holding the eIec- tion in the respective counties, and shall forward to the chairman of each county executive committee it's pro rata share of the proceeds of the as- sessment made by the congressional committee against the candidates for congress; and that the chairman of the congressional committee should pre- pare all ballots and all other election supplies and furnish the same to the chairman of the various county execu- tive committees:

Lauderdale County Schools May Be Ex-
 tended One Month.
 Florence. Aug. 15.-(Special. )--The Commissioners Court of Lauderdale County. now in session. yesterday en- tered upon the minutes an order pro- viding for the voters to express them selves at the regular November eiec- ton on the question of a special one mill tax for the schools of the county. The average school term for the coun- try schools is now five months, and with the additional $4.000 which the ex- tra tax would raise they could be ex- tended a month longer.
 A vote was taken upon the same proposition several years ago in this county but 1t was defeated. A vigor- ous campaign will be at once entered into by those interested in the prop- osition to place 1t in a favorable light before the voters and the chances will therefore be much brighter for its be- Ing carried.

AN EXPERIMENT,
Revolving Siphon Which Can Be
Rugged Up Of Straws and a Cork.

The principle illustrated in the &C.
companying cut might readily serve
to generate power without the use of
machinery. 1t is given, however,
merely as an interesting and easily
made experiment.
Pour water into a good-sized glass
tumbler until it is two-thirds full and
stand it upon canister to give it the
necessary elevation. Through the fiat
cork on the surface of the water is a
stout straw, which transversely sup
ports one of the same diameter. To
the latter are attached two other
straws of similar diameter, each of
these having bit of straw about an
inch in length attached to the end at
an obtuse angle with the outlets cut
on the slant to make easier the exit
of the water.
All the joints are hollow and are
made water-tight with sealing wax.
The ends of the transverse straw are
likewise closed with the wax, but the
ends Of the depending straws are left
open.
Now, to start this unique homemade
apparatus in action, let two persons
suck the open ends of the depending
straws until the water begins to flow,
