air. To obtain this effect in the must ad-

frigorific effect is produced, by allowing
the air to act with it's expansive force

connection with beam, or other contrlE-
ance common to both, helps to work the
condensing pump. This engine is con-
structed and ARRANGED in the manner OF
a high pressure steam engine.
When the air cooled by it's expansion es-
capes from the engine it is made to pass
round a vessel containing the water to

Underwood Was Assured
In view of the pre-eminent position
acquired by the senatorial campaign IT
would have been impossible. even had
the candidates so desired, to prevent ar
dent partisans from gathering around
their favorites and indulging in political
gossip.
This was especially true as concerns
the friends of Mr.. Underwood. It has
already been published that the demo-
cratic leader in Congress was given sew
eral public demonstrations. As a mat
ter of fact, he divided honors with Pres
ident Wilson. When he appeared In the
dining room of the Battle House for
the purpose of breakfasting with the
President, there was great applause in
which the chief executive seemed pleased
to join. AT the Lyric theatre the men,
tion of his name aroused his partisans to
respond for several minutes in cheers.
Afterwards. his every appearance at
tracted attention, and brought forth
hearty acclaim and the clapping of
hands. II
Throughout yesterday afternoon his
friends from every county represented
visited him room in the Cawthon. He
was given assurances of victory from
many sections of the state. There can
be no question but that as result of
what he learned in Mobile, he is now
even more confident of his ultimate sue
cess than he was before.
President to Bankhead
In regard to federal patronage, there
was one amusing incident. Following his
address at the Lyric theatre, President
Wilson, turning hurriedly, gazed into the
eyes of Senator Bankhead. The senator
-.
chief executives: 'Well, Senator, I see
that even in Alabama you are standing
with your back against the wall"
This was a reference to the struggle
which Senator Bankhead is making for
Tyler Goodwin, applicant for the posi-
tion of attorney for the middle district
of Alabama. The senator is in the midst
of the fight of his life. The President,
ii is said, is inclined to name T. d.
Sanford of opelika. Some days ago. ac-
cording to the story, the senator. after
a consultation with the President de-
clared that he was standing with his back
gainst the wall, and that he would con-
tinue the fight even to the bitter end.
The little joke of the President drew a
pleasant though rather cynical, smile
from the senator.
Prominent People Present
Two of the applicants for the collec-

Effect on Lumber Trade

''The effect of the Panama canal upon
the lumber trade of the south will prob
ably be more significant than that upon
any other southern export business. AT
the present time the markets of southern
lumber are confined mainly to the east
ern seaboard of the United States and
to Europe with some trade to eastern
South America and across the Pacific
are not now accessible for southern lum-
ber. With the opening of the Panama
canal the south will be able to add the
Pacific trade to its lumber business. Nat
urally the chief market of the southern
lumber will continue to be in the eastern
part of the United States and in Europe,
but the Panama canal will make possible

Drinks Poison by Mistake.

Fayetteville.-A. G. Reynolds of Fayetteville, a well-known newspaper man, accidentally killed himself here, when he drank a quantity of cyanide of potassium, believing it to be water. Reynolds was in the Duke jewelry store, where he was having ring re- paired. He saw a jar of what he believed to be water on a desk, and while the jeWeler was busy, drank the contents, which proved to be poison. He noticed the burning taste of the liquid and asked the jeweler what the jar contained. Upon being told it was poison, he attempted to rinse his mouth but within a few minutes be- came nauseated and within 10 minutes was dead.

or Oldham.
 There will be nothing to prev ont the commission from going forward rapidly with the work that Is to be done for there is plenty of money in the state capitol fund now and by next July there will have been paid into this fund nearly, if not quite, enough to pay all the appropriations made by the last legislature.
 There is now about $200,000 in the capitol fund and about $200,000 more will be turned into the fund when the county collectors make their settle ments with the state tor the taxes collected this year. If this not enough to complete the building, according to the appropriation made, at least an additional $100,000 will be paid into this fund during the next two years for the legislature retained the capitol tax, although it was reduced from one half to one eighth of a mill.
 The new act, among other items, provides $40,000 for landscape work on the capitol grounds, asphalt road. ways to the main entrance of the cap- itol, etc. It is expected that the grounds will be terraced and improved according to plans prepared by land scape engineer.
 For color work on the walls and ceilings of the building, to relieve the glaring whiteness that now offends the eye of the aesthetic, an appropriation of $30,000 was provided
 An item of $40,00 was provided for additional marble work throughout the building, wherever possible re- placing the scagliola, or imitation mar. ble, which was used in the construc.

plant has been in use, electric fix lures have been lacking and the grounds have been left practically as they were while the actual work ot constructing the building was in prog ress.
 All this is now to be changed. Be fore another legislature convenes in regular session and probably consid erably earlier, the building will stand completed and the surrounding grounds will be put in shape to give the hand some capitol the setting which struc ture of it's character demands.
 The recent legislature made all this possible by making an appropriation of approximately $432,000 for the com pletion of the building and improve ment of the grounds. The appropria tion measure carried a total of $500, 900, but of this amount, about $34,O0t will go to pay debts contracted by the commission during the past two years and about S32,000 will be required for the maintenance of the capitol during the next two yedrS. He IellolHu0i of the amount appropriated, amount ing to $432,S50 will be available fol the completion of the building and the beautifying of the grounds. With the expenditure of this sum the total cost of the new capitol will have reached a total of approximately $2,200,OO, but this will include the cost of installing new furniture in all the state offices and the cost of improving the grounds surrounding the building.
 The bill making the appropriation for the completion of the capitol was introduced in the recent legislature by Senator John Ike Moore of Helena who Is a member of the capitol com mission appointed by Governor Dona ghey. The bill went through botf houses with comparatively little oppo sition and no reduction was made il the amount asked by the commission

 For electric lighting fixtures in the building and grounds and /on the front steps, $25,000 was provided, while a total of $73,S00 was appropriated for a heating and generating plant. with it's equipment, and for additional heat. l ing apparatus and electric wiring in l the building.
 Provision was made for the com pletion of sub-basement floor under the terrace, for the completion of un- finished rooms on the ground floor, for elevators and additional vault doors, for plumbing, draining, etc. total of about $100,000 was appropriat- ed to cover the cost of all this work.
 New furniture is to be installed in all the state offices, an appropriation of $96,750 being made for this pur- pose, while an item of $3,500 was in cluded for the installation of a clock system.
 It is believed that, after it's tempes- tuous history of more than ten years, there will be nothing in the way of the early completion of the capitol. The work will be done under the sl- pervision of the old capitol commits sion, which was appointed during the first year of Governor Donagheys ad- ministration, as the members of this commission were not appointed for a definite term but hold their places for an indefinite time.
