Two hundred and nfty gallons or pro- hibited liquors, in the shape of 80 dozen bottles or eight full casks of beer, and 25O quarts of whisky, were gulped down yes terday afternoon by the manhole at the main portal of the county jail MT. F uler, author of the "fullerliquor' bill was mainly responsible for the occasion, but the glass receptacles. were smashed and intoxicating stuff was dumped into the sanitary sewer upon orders of confiscation signed by Judge H. B. Abernethy of the inferior criminal court and Judge William B. Fort, superior judge of the criminal court of Jefferson county.
 Sheriff Higdon took the matter as one of duty and he was not particularly af- fected by the scene R. M. Goodan of the Law and Order league was present and he indicated his satisfaction with the way things were running by remarking, Now, that looks like prohibition to me-" but the fellows who took the matter mora seriouslyl Poor boys.
 Four o'clock was the hour set for the confiscation of the liquor and promptly at that appointed time the operation of NtdL IS Salu u D6 lilC 6iIOuSSSl PiOHlDl- ton law ever enacted in the United States, the Fuller bill was demonstrated It was the first instance of the kind oc- curing in this broad state of Alabama under the Fuller bill and maybe 1t wasn't an affecting scene, but then maybe it was.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien c. Brown ,fg; efo Ia yoc armed with the cleverest, neatest sort of a little machinists hammer, with which he essayed to crack the glass receptacles containing the many gallons of bottled joy" At o'clock a great crowd had as sembled in front of the jail and this crowd attracted many others, and after Major Brown had raised his little ham Red Rock rye, permitting the forbidden liquid to ooze out into the sewer, the on- slaught began.
 A barrel had been prepared for the occasion. Holes had been bored in the bottom and the barrel was placed over the manhole The bottles were thrown into the barrel and broken, yea. smashed into smithereens, and the destruction pro- ceeded unceremoniously for nearly an hour.
 Well, the beer was hot and foamy, the regular whisky was hotter, and the gin and white lightning were even hotter, and the boys never had such a time :n their lives. Four deputies and a profess sor in one of the local schools carried on the heartless work unflinchingly.
 When the manhole was thrown open preparatory to the confscation. 1t was noted that there was multitude of cock reaches who were making their homes in the sewer. Further, it was noted by those who took in the details of the affair that not a single cock roach saw fit to come out of the aforesaid manhole. In consequence the warden at the jail had to contend last night with thousand rowdy, drunken, pestiferous insects, driven from their homes by none other than the "fullerliquor'' law.
 All the while the wilful destruction of

Pays Expenses of the Farm.

The history of cotton seed oil is
one of the wonders of the last gener-
alton. Fifty years ago cotton seed
was a nuisance to the planters. At
last the experiment was made to
press the oil from the seeds, the
thought being it would be good, per-
haps, for live stock, but when it was
done, an oil expert refined some of it
and found it was equal to the very
finest olive oil, and now the oil from
the cotton seeds, as a by-product,
nearly or quite pays the expense of
planting and harvesting the cotton,
leaving the staple as profits.
This ought to open investigation
in many ways, this ought to be an in
centive to our agricultural schools
to experiment on different plants.
Every one knew all through the
years that there was plenty of oil
in cotton, but for full century the
thought that it might be made of
value never entered mems minds.
We saw a few months ago that paper
was being made out Of the cotton
stalk, and that's something which
the schools might all practice on to
see if there is not some plant which
grows in abundance and is not of
much value that could be manufac-
tured into paper.
The amount of timber used up for
paper making every year amounts to
great forest. There ought to be a
substitute, either hemp or fax or
corn or cotton or something else, out
of which paper could be cheaply
made. The amount of paper used in
an ordinary metropolitan daily paper
is so great that a charge of two
cents a pound for it might make a
difference between a profit and loss
in a years business.-Salt Lake

STORM SWEEPS GREENWOOD.
Hail, Rain and Wind Cause Damage
in Town and County.

Greenwood, July S.-Greenwood
was subjected late Wednesday after
noon to terrific wind, hail and rain
storm. The damage over the town
and county was very heavy, though
as yet no definite news can be got
from the outlying towns on account
OF the destruction of telephone
wires. The damage in the city and
nearby consists mainly of destruction
of dwellings, barns, trees, etc., there
being no serious effects as to the in
jury of persons.
The large warehouse of Durst-An-
drews Company was almost Destroy
ed, the roof being swept away by the
strong wind and the building twisted
until the entire structure caved in.
The roof on the seed house of the
Greenwood Oil mill was lifted up
and carried several hundred yards.
The residence of Mr.. Dick Reynolds
was struck by lightning, the chin
ney falling and smashing the roof in.
FSeverG barns were demolished and
It is quite remarkable that though
many contained live stock, not sin
gle animal was killed or even injur-
ed. In every portion of the town
trees were pulled from the ground
by the terrible wind force, in many
instances crashing through the tele-
phone wires and causing great dam
age to the system.
AS a result of the hail and rain
the already poor crops of the county
were damaged to great extent and
the farmers have added a degree or
two of gloom to their expression.

N. B. Adams, Main street, Bam-

II most heartily recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills, as I used them
and obtained great benefit. I suffer-
ed for more than year from attacks
of backache and pains in the small
of my back. The kidney secretions
we're unnatural and gave me no end
of trouble on account of their fre-
quency in passage. Having Doan's
Kidney Pills brought to my atten-
ton, procured a supply at the Peo-
pies Drug Co. and began using them.
They gave prompt relief. In a few
weeks the pains in my back were en-
tirely disposed of and my kidneys
were again performing their work

READY-PRINT PAPERS.

In commenting on paragraph in
The Herald of last week in reference
to ready-print papers, the Yorkville
Enquirer says:
"The Enquirer likes the sound of
that. Three years ago The Bamberg
Herald was printed on the 'co-opera-
tive basis. At the meeting of the
Press Association in Charleston, the
editor of the Enquirer discussed the
matter with the editor of The Herald,
and The Herald was one of the pa
pers that bought a machine and
changed over to all home print short
ly after the editor of the Enquirer
read a paper on the subject at the
next meeting of the Association. The
editor of The Herald is one of the
ablest country editors in the State
and his paper is almost in a class by
itself. We do not think we had any,
thing to do with making a newspaper
man of Editor knight, because he
really needed no assistance; but we
do believe that we helped inspire
him into the making of still better
paper, and until we learn that we are
mistaken, we will be proud of the
part we think we had. We will still
be proud of The Herald, anyway"
We are glad to acknowledge that
our discussion of the newspaper
business with our good friend Grist,
who by the way publishes an ideal
semi-weekly paper, had much to do
with our discarding the cooperative
plan and putting in a machine, al
though we had thought of the mat
ter some years ago and in fact had
signed contract for a linotype, but
could not install it at that time for
lack of room. Our conversation with
the editor of the Enquirer, however.
strengthened our conviction that we
could make machine pay us, and
the steady growth of our business
and the fact that we have been able
to keep a machine busy, often work
ing day and night shift, makes us
feel glad indeed that he read the pa
per on the subject and that we had
the pleasure of hearing it and of 60
ing into the matter in detail with
him.
We appreciate the kind words OF
our friend, and it is an inspiration tc
any newspaper man who is in love
with his work and wants to improve
his paper to talk shop with Editor
Grist, for he knows the business
thoroughly from end to end and
loves his work. In fact none of we
country newspaper men have any
thing like the equipment or print the
paper he does. His newspaper is not

Reports from all over the South
are to the effect that crops have been
badly damaged by the heavy rains OF
the past few weeks. A trip to the
Piedmont section of the State last
week convinced us that the produc-
ton of cotton in that section this
year will be small. The crops have
been badly damaged by rain, and the
bad weather was still keeping up.
Cotton ought to bring at least Is
cents a pound this fall.

1t is announced that the farm
demonstration work now being done
by the government in South Carolina

ment of farming methods. This
ought to mean a great deal for the
farming interests of Bamberg.
