 vOcated in Anniston
CAPTAIN HOOD DIES
White Way Posts Are Sent to Wash ington-Anniston Company Is Building Up Big Business
 All Over South

Anniston, November --(SpeeiaL)-At next meeting Of the Anniston city council Capt. W. H. zinn will probably put be- fore that body his proposition to bring about municipal ownership of the city's waterworks system. placing this city in line with Montgomery. Savannah, Mem phls. Selma, Cullman, Brooklyn and other cities, which he says. are getting their water supply by means Of artesian wells.
 Captain Finn has had engineers looking Into the prospects for we'll water in An niston, and he says there is no use in the city of Anniston paying s4oO0oo for water supply source nine miles away" when service equally as good, he says. can be obtained at an expense not exceed ing s1s5.000.
 T have estimates from competent en- gireers,p MT. Finn says. which indicate that for $25,ooo to ss5.ooo sufficient wells can be drilled to supply the city with B. oo1oOo gallons daily. Pneumatic pumping machinery to elevate the water to a res- evoir nearby can be installed for SSO,o0o more. A complete system of pipes to sup ply the citizens can be installed for $100, 0oo more." He says these estimates are liberal and that the plant could probably be built for s150, ,ooo.
 MT. Finn, who has travelled around the world several times, says that the reser- voir plan of supplying city water is the coming plan. He says it is more whole some, less expensive and not so liable to become contaminated.
 Capt. J. N. Hood, an ex-Confederate. who has been in an Anniston sanitarium, died Sunday afternoon and his body was buried Monday afternoon at Goshen ceme- tery. Captain Hoods home was at Pied mont, where he had been agent for the Southern Express company since the early seventies. He was 76 years of age and is survived by three sons and daughter.

OBJECT OF RESCUE
ONLY A "DRUNK'

Tho above heading to a news item
appeared in large daily newspaper
last week. "ONLY A DRUNK -
note the heartless lack of sympathy
the apparent disgust-the dismissal of
further consideration as though "only
a drunk was all that was needed to
dispose of the case, They do not seem
before their eyes, OF seeing, they do
not feel that they have any interest in
saving this soul from ruin, or consider
it hopeless task.
The drinking man or woman gets
little sympathy, Most people believe
that these men drink because they
want to drink or because they have
not sense enough to let it alone, They
do not appreciate that these drink or
drug victims are held in the grip OF a
poison as insidious as it is implacable
so instead Of help and encourage
mont, they receive kicks and condem-
nation.
All men who find that they crave a
stimulant before they are cat them
selves or before they can attend to
business, need this elimination treat
ment as surely as does the victim Of
any other poison or disease need treat
ment. If they do not realize ~this, or
are not made TO realize it, and continue
to add to the poison in their system by
more drink. it is only matter Of
time when they will be referred TO us
COMFY \ DRUNK"
If they will, they may be restored
to manhood, with all desire, craving,
or physical necessity for alcoholic
stimulants or drugs removed If you
are one OF these-or have friend who
is liable to be referred to as E'oniy q
drunk, we would suggest that you
write the Neal Institute for informa.
ton regarding the Neal Treatments,
for these Affections. They Will send
you literature telling of the Neal 3-day
treatment for the drink habit Write
