Six stills Destroyed

United States revenue officers who have just returned to Anniston from the Clay, Cleburne and Randolph county districts report that quite a number of new stills have been started up in anticipation of the usually brisk Christmas trade. Six of these were destroyed in the raid which the Anniston officers have just com pleted.
 The most prolific source of moonshine discovered by the officers was in the neighborhood of Malone's Ferry, in Ran dolph county. Six miles north of that place 400 gallons of beer, 40-gallon still and it's appurtenances were destroyed. An S0-gallon still and 300 gallons of beer were destroyed three miles north of the same place, while another large plant was destroyed south of there. Equally effec- tive raids have been made in Clay and Cleburne.

would Improve Rural Life

Advocating an issuance of s3o0,O00 or sAo9.OOo in good roads bonds, as one of the primary requisites of Calhoun county, pr. K. l.. Hughes, who was recently elected county health officer makes strong plea for the general uplift of rural life in an interview given out this afternoon
 Dr. Hughes says that the increased tax ation incident to such an improvement will be insignificant as compared to the beneficial results and when it Is consid- cred that all the money involved will be spent in Calhoun county, he says, the project becomes essentially economical

Birmingham is not going bankrupt, and the city fathers feel confident that the end of 1911 will find the city's treasury in a healthful condition. Many things happen in year and among the things which might occur shortly is the licensing of saloons or the crea- tion of dispensary system in Birming- ham. This would wipe out the city's deficit In very short time.
 However, the City Council is not walt ing for money to show up, but the aldermen feel confident that, without any aid from liquor licenses. they can pull through all right, and not make any great sacrifices.
  results than perhaps any man his age had been enabled to do. He said that his illness affected him very much for several weeks after, but that at that time he never felt better in his life.
 At the funeral of Colonel DeBardele- ben, although bowed with grief over the death of his friend. Major Hanson car ried himself with that courtly erectness that sgnalled to every observer the fact that he was southerner and soldier. With a head absolutely white with locks of TO years he stood uncovered at the open grave of Colonel DeBardeleben last week with winter wind blowing and silently dropped tear with the humblest miner from the mines. He was without any affected personalities and was ever respectful and attentive to every one. He was regarded as one of Birmingham sp people for his interests have been so thoroughly intertwined with this district as to make them al- most identical.

 He had been president of the Central of Georgia seven years. His first ex- perience was gained as director of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad He was later elected to his post held up to his death, and about two years ago was elected president of the Central of Georgia.
 Several people from this city will at tend the funeral in Macon. Of the num- Der MT. and Mrs. Ross c. Smith left for Atlanta yesterday. G. B. Mccormack, director in the Central of Georgia will possibly leave today, while George G. Crawford of the Tennessee company will perhaps attend.
 Victor H. Hanson of Birmingham, nephew of Major Hanson, will also prob ably attend the funeral.

LEARN LESSONS
FOR FUTURE
BUILDING

In working for the foundations for
the new Grand Valley National Bank
building contractors and especially
concrete workers have learned some
new things which will be invaluable
to them in future building operations
in this city. They have found that.
unless the concrete piling is more
than considerably pure with concrete,
they will be eaten into by the alkali
that is contained in this soil In ex-
posing the concrete piling that was
driven under the old bank building,
II was discovered that several of the
piles had been eaten into considera-
bly,. This was probably due to the
fact that in making the mixture too
much sand was used and not a suf-
ficiency of cement
As they have driven down the cas-
ing of iron for the new piling, it has
also been discovered that the gravel
that has been considered a base for
the floor of the concrete piles is not
the real gravel, but simply a number
of stones and quantities of water
and that there is an underlying stra-
ia of from S to 10 feet below which
is the real foundation gravel
Quite few OF the contracting con-
crete men have watched the digging
of the holes for the foundations of
the new bank building with large
degree of interest as a future educa-
tion to them to be used when larger
structures are undertaken in this
city

Captain Albert, a Fugitive
Russian, Last Evening
Makes the Charge.
SHOWS RUSSIAN METHODS
kEENER INSIGHT INTO THE
POLITICS OF THE BLOODY EN-
PIRE-A FINE TALK.

In his second lecture at the Masonic
temple, Capt. Albert, the Masonic
lecturer, who was twice exiled into ST.
IBERIA by the Russian government, held
the rapt attention of large audience
and his talk was greatly appreciated.
In the course of his remarks, Captain
Alberti disclosed some startling facts
and valuable information in regard to
the Russian government. and the audi
ence was given a keener insight into
the politics Of that country. The no,
bility, according to Capt. Albert. was
directly responsible for the death of
Gear Alexander the Second.
He stated that the higher class was
dissatisfied with Alexander because he
was liberal in his views and was in IA
vor of a constitutional form of govern.
ment.
Favored Jury Trial.
He advocated trial by jury and the
education of the serfs by the estab-
lishment of public schools. This was
exactly what the nobility the least de-
sired. They wanted the serfs to be
kept in ignorance, fearing that by their
obtaining an education they would
into power. The nobility then got
busy and constantly plotted for the
Cars death using their money and
influence to this end. However, they
went about the matter in such clever
way as to make it appear that the Nj
hilists Of the low type were responsible
and they. accordingly, were punished
for the assassination
Capt. Albert stated that a wrong
impression was current in regard to
the real cause for the war between ia
pan and Russia. He declared that
England was the real instigator of the
war and urged Japan to make the at
tack. fearing that Russia would find a
market for its produce, other than En-
gland. He branded the Japanese as a
lot of treacherous people and stated
that while the sympathy of the Amer
lean people was with them during the
war, it would have been another story
had they known Of them like he does
He further declared that had President
Roosevelt not interfered and the war
had been permitted TO go on three
months longer. the Japanese would
have been worsted in the fight.
America the Best.
Capt. Albert spoke very Interesting
ly and entertainingiv of his exile into
Siberia and his remarkable escape
from that country by availing himself
Of Masonic signs to brother officer
in the Russian army. He stated that
it would be impossible to picture the
intense suffering and extreme torture
to which the exiles were subjected
when put to work in the mines in the
northern part of Siberia
america is the land of freedom"
concluded Capt. Alberti. land it is the
greatest country in the entire world"
