Admission, November 5.--(special.)--As a
result of the address of DR.. George Eaves,
secretary of the Anh-Tuberculosis asso-
citation of Jefferson county, who delivered
a stereoptioon lecture to a representative
audience of Annistonians Mt the Calhoun
county courthouse Tuesday evening, steps
have been taken to form a permanent
anti-tuberculosis association in this coun-
~ and establish a camp similar to the
one maintained in Jefferson.
DR.. Eaves stated that % per cent OF
the deaths in Alabama result from tuber-
culoss, and that he has visited one coun-
ty where one-half of the total death rate
is due to the great white plague DR..
Il. L. Hughes, county health officer for
Calhoun. stated that while the death rate
in this county is unusually low, as many
people die from consumption as from all
other causes combined. The ratio in
jefferson county, DR.. Eaves saids is one
out of every six deaths, 100000 victims
every year succumbing to this plague.
What is regarded as the first tangible
evidence of the operation of wagon,

a so-called Alabama express was being
operated between Admission and Birmlng-

lookout. Weaver was driving q horse
litched to light buggy when captured

bottles of liquor, carefully wrapped in
paper.
The police have carefully questioned
Weaver, and other arrests may follow as
a result of his capture, as IT is believed
that he is the tool of men higher up. He
was fined s1o0 and costs when arraigned
before Recorder Green Wednesday.
