SAD DEATH

Ensley, January s-(Special)-on Mon- day Wylam will vote on the question of annexation to Ensley, and from pres ent indications the proposition will carry by a substantial majority. Immediate steps will be taken to absorb the territory and fully 5000 population will be added to Ensley's 14.0O0, making it the fourth city in Alabama. It is the confident sertion of leading citizens that the na- tional census will show population with in the corporate limits ofsthe city of fully 20,0o0 and that 5000 more people live in the furnace and steel plant quarters with in a few blocks of the heart of the city.
 The question of the annexation of Wy lam has been a live wire in Ensley polit ical affairs for nearly year, but the advocates of a greater city appear to have won out. The advantages that will accrue to both cities, it is claimed, have been made so patent to the leading ele- ments of both cities that opposition has practically melted away.
 Wylam will secure better school facil- ities with no incidental fees, fire pro- lection, a modern sanitary system, street improvements and all modern improve ments that go with a progressive city, and at the same time have it's property placed on a much sounder basis. Ems ley's main advantages will accrue from the increase in population and the elim- nation of any dangers that might arise from the open sewerage of Wylam drain ing through the city.
 This history of the fight for bigger city has been most interesting. It was proposed through the Ensley Commercial club and championed later by Mayor Sugg, Aldermen Mcdowell, Byrum Brig man and Culpepper. After the terms of agreement were signed the matter was referred to the people of Ensley at special election called for October 21. The people of Ensley at the special election approved the consolidation and the board of aldermen accepted the same by a nar- row margin. The board of Wylam ac cepted the terms and the election of Monday was called. The leaders of the annexation party at Wylam are Mayor Nolan, all the physicians of the city, and Messrs. Joseph Martin, N. B. Stack, w. A. Spencer, Adam Pow, w. J. Stacey, H. N. Revier, w. M. Wilson, Will Miller, s. w. Glasgow and others.
 Former Governor Cunningham was most effective in arousing interest and crystal izing sentiment at Wylam, where he is very popular.

calcification of the arteries, and so bring about the degenerative changes charac- terstic of old age.
 This would be very comforting if it were true, for all could attain long life if nothing were required except to drink plenty of pure water. But the elixir of life is not so simple. The arterial changes of advancing age consist first of a H. brous thickening of the walls of the blood vessels, and 1t is only after these have become established that the lime deposits occur.
 The buttermilk theory of Metchnikoff is more plausible, for drinking this does undoubtedly restrain in a measure the formation of intestinal poisons which are believed to play an important role in the fibrous thickening of the arteries.
 The other view, that distilled water dis solves the lining of the stomach, Is even less tenable. for the mouth and stomach always contain mucuS and other fluids upon which the water would act and dissolve out enough salts to prevent it working injury to the coats of the stom- ach.
 We know little of the action of dis titled water in the system. All that can be affirmed is that it is not injurious. and may be recommended a drink because of It's freedom from disease pro- ducing bacteria.

 On motion the time for enrolment of members was extended for two more weeks, at which time the charter will close All those interested in music are invited to join.
 The success of this musical organiza, ton thus far has been very gratifying to those in charge. MT. Alsap, the director, stated that in his experience in leading choruses this one has made more pro- gress and Is composed of more real talent than any he has ever led. This is high praise, as MT. Alsap has conducted some fine choral societies at home and abroad. Much credit is due MT. Kent for the in- terest he has taken and the consistent work he has done to make the chorus a success. They will hold their next re- hearsal next Friday night.
