SPEAKERS HEARD
 AT RUSSELLVILLE
JUDGE ALMON AND MIR. WELSH OF BESSEMER TAKE SIDES ON AMENDMENT QUESTION - AL sToN CONFINES COURT.

Russenville, November 1.-(Special.) Judge Ed B. Almon of Tuscumbia spoke to a crowded courthouse against tn e amendment today. Judge Almon was at his best and made a very strong speech. He was given the closest of attention and frequent applause during his speech of an hour and a quarter.
 He was followed by MT. Welsh, a Bessemer lawyer. who occupied some time. The major portion of MT. Welsh s speech was a prohibition argument. He had nothing to say on the amendment, except In the latter part of his speech asserted in effect that the term man ufaeture" as was used referred only to articles for sale and not proh ibiting the making of wines for home use, and that the making of such would not be un- lawful. He gave some time to elabor- ating this point, defining the difference between making and manufacturing saying one made biscuit but did not manufacture them. MT. Welsh received generous applause at the close of his speech.
 Judge Aston convened court today and in charging the grand jury, in structed them that "manufacturing" meant making something by machinery; that the manufacturing of whisky wines, beer etc., was absolutely pro- hibited in the state and parties guilty of the same should be indicted.

 MT. Grath does not believe that the amendists will carry a single county in the Eighth district.

 Ensley, November 1.-(Special. 1.-Two frame dwelling houses on Avenue K and Thirteenth street were badly damaged by fire this morning and a two-story frame boarding house on Avenue E and Centre street was almost destroyed this afternoon. The first call was from the residence of J. M. Singleton at 1909 Ave nue K.

The damage to the Singleton house is about s3Oo which is fully covered by insurance The usual defective fue was the origin of the fire.
 The second call came this afternoon from the boarding house of Mrs. c. F. Thomson on Avenue E and Centre street. The fire started on the second floor and had gained considerable head way before being discovered. The flames spread quickly in the wind that prevailed, and despite the splendid work of the fire department the house was almost de- stroyed. But few of the household effects were saved. The house and contents were insured.

 FUND IS TESTED

Oklahoma City, November 1.-More than so00,000 contributed by the state banks under the deposit guaranty law has been used in paying depositors of the insolvent Columbia Bank and Trust company, which failed more than a month ago, and there remains more than s4000o0 In deposits to be paid, with only SIPS in cash on hand to pay them, though sufficient assets. apparently. are available to provide for the remaining deposits. This condition is shown in a preliminary statement issued today by A. M. Young, state bank commissioner.
 When the bank failed it had s1 165, TAT Of individual deposits and $1293,3S5 of de- posits of other banks.
 Liabilities remaining amount to sl125,- GOO, and for this purpose the bank com missioner has total assets of S1,763, 900, in- cuding s563,0O0 assigned after the failure by W. L. Norton, the banks president, and others.

DEFENDERS APPARENTLY HAVE COUNTY SEWED UP IN BAG. o'NEAL GIVEN FINE RECEPTION AT ROCKFORD.

Goodwater, November 1.-(Special.) )-Cir- cult court met for this county at Rock ford today. Emmet ONeal had been ad- vertised to speak against the amendment and c. c. Whitson and Frank s. White were advertised to speak for it. Whitson and White got to Rockford first and be- gan speaking. When they got through Colonel O'Neal spoke.
 There was one of the largest crowds seen in Rockford in years and it was evident from the start that the crowd was overwhelmingly against the amendment. Captain White and MT. Whitson failed to get up any steam and it was a great demonstration from the time Colonel O'Neal began until he ceased and he was given an ovation when he concluded It is conservative estimate to say that 90 per cent of the audience were against the amendment.
 Coosa is safe against the amendment by three to one.

THE RIVER NILE.
Ancient Greeks and the Process OF
Sterilizinq Water.

Ancient Greeks and the Process OF
Steriizins Water.
The ancient Greeks already recon-
meDded the use of steriiized water.
Rufus of Ephesus, in the first century
Of this era, taught that Eall water
from rivers and ponds is bad except
that from the Nile. Water from rivers
which flow through unhealthy soil,
tagnant water and that which flows
near public bathing places is Harmful.
The best water is that which has been
boiled in baked earthenware vessels,
cooled and then heated second time
before drinking
This hygienic prescription was In
tended both for healthy and sick peo-
pie, since it was applied to the armies:
During marches and in camps pits
must be dug successiyely from the
highest point to the lowest level of the
place. These holes should be lined
with clay such as is used for making
pottery and the water should he made
to percolate through it. The water will
leave all its impurities in these pits"
It may be inquired how the ancient
Greeks, knowing the processes Of ster-
ilization and filtration Of water which
they applied to that Of the most limpid
rivers, should have drunk without pre-
cautions the water Of the Nile, which
our microscopes allow US to declare
sound" but which. is in appearance
the most worthy of suspicion Of all
and is so muddy, so yellow. that it re-
sembles wine.-Gazette des Faux.

A Famous Story.

A famous story that is being retold ID
Oregon is about a very rich banker
who cot his start By doing work for
the government His bill was So,Ooo,
and it had to be submitted to congress.
Congress has habit Of cutting its
bills in two. To make allowance for
this he Jumped his bill to $4,000. Re
sent the bill to the governor for his
approval. The governor, having also
heard that congress generally appro-
priated only half as much as was ask
ed, jumped it to $4,000. The bill was
then sent to one of the congressman.
Being friendly to the contractor, he
Jumped it to $4,000 and sent it to an
other Oregon congressman for his ap-
prcval. The second congressman jump
ed it to $4,000. Congress allowed the
whole $4,000, although the contractor
was entitled to only $1,000. This is
told as a fact in Oregon. The man
who got the $4,000 got his start ON

The Man-Eot His Policies.

Not long ago something was said cy
somebody-perhaps oy MIR. Tatt-aoout
social ostracisn in the South because OF
politics. Mr.. Taft or whoever 1t was
talking, gave thanks that time had come
when such thing was not possible.
AS matter Of fact. there has never
been any ostracis.n. social or otherwise,
in the South because OF politics. Ii any
body in the South has been ostracised 1t
has been for other causes than politics.
These reflections open the way for US
to make little comment on the election
of Mr.. E. F. Cochran as president OF the
Anderson Bar Association the other day.
Mr.. Cochran is a lifelong Republican,
and is at present an offlce-holder under
Republican administration. He is the
only Republican member OF the Ander-
son Bar Association. All the others are
Democrats, and most Of them, we be-
lieve, are 3ryan Democrats, and they
figure quite extensively in politics when
the occasion presents itself. But in spite
OF these things Mr.. Cochran was elected
president OF the Bar Association, and
his election was so natural and so we'll
deserved that we have not heard any
