BAD WEEK FOR
COTTON MARKET
Nervous and Unsettled With
Prices Distinguishing
Not Aggressive

New York, February 21-The cotton
market has been very nervous and un-
settled during the past week. with prices
breaking to nearly the low point of last
month under liquidation and more or less
aggressive selling. This would seem to
have reflected a revival of the generally
bearish sentiment, which was so pro-
nounced during the middle of January.
as a result of the continued Balkan trou-
bles, apprehensions as to the Mexican
situation, reports of a continued slack
of the planting season Much of the buy
ing on scale down has been attributed
to undolng of straddles by foreign houses.
while the relative steadiness of new crop
positions is supposed to have resulted
partly from a moderate demand by spin
ners In the way of hedging forward sales
of goods at prevailing discounts. Other
wise, the support is said to have been
chiefly covering of shorts and only here
and there in local circles have there been
expressions of bullish opinions.
Reports from Liverpool have indicated
a continued business in Manchester aud
the English market has not eased off
quite so readily as New York. Trade ac-
counts from the continent, however, have
suggested considerable depression there
and as the English trade is already COM
paratively well supplied with raw mate
rial, there has been disposition to scale
down and estimates of probable exports
for the balance of the season. Weekly
spinners' takings also show consider
able falling off, and although the sta
tstical position grows stronger, as a re-
suit of small into sight figures, local
bears continue to argue that there Will
be plenty of cotton to go around. With
better weather in the belt. more rapid
progress has been reported in farm work
and while southern adviees have indi-
Gated relatively steady spot markets,
many predict that remaining old crop
holders will be more willing sellers as
the season advances

SHOOT OF
MIDWINTER HANDICAP
EVENTS HELD YESTERDAY

The preliminary shooting to the mid
winter handicap took place yesterday
and some fine work was done by some
of the participants.
e. r. Holt was high professional,
followed closely by his brother, Ell
bert Holt. Gentry Hillman was high
amateur for the day. The wind was
blowing and the day dark, consequent
ly the low scores. Following the reg
ular shooting some handicap shooting
was done. Tom Classify broke "a out
of 25 from the 2s-yard mark. Gentry
Hillman also did well in the handicap
shooting.
Tomorrow will start the -midwinter
handicap, followed by regular sweep
stake shooting; then Will be a splen-
did race for amateur and professional
honors in both the races There Will
be many additional shooters. several
leading professionals among them. IL.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE MAGNATES
TO RECEIVE BIG WELCOME IN
CHATTANOOGA - SCHEDULE
QUESTION TO BE DECIDED

Chattanooga. February 21.-(Special1--
Everything is in complete readiness here
for the entertainment of the Southern
league moguls who assemble here in req
ular vernal session Saturday. All the
meetings of the magnates Will be held
at the Hotel Patten arrangements having
been made to that effect by President o.
b. Andrews OF the local club.
Among the features provided for the en-
tertainment of the visitors are an auto
mobile tour of Missionary Ridge, Lookout
mountain, and other points of interest,
and barbecue upon Waldens Ridge. The
festivities will take place Saturday after
noon and night following the executive
session.
The adoption of the schedule for the 1918
season is certain to be the chief topic of
discussion at the seance. The tentative
draft prepared by Andrews, Frank and
Colssen has aroused so mulch comment
around the circuit that the document has
become as familiar and notable as "XYZ'
papers or the Monroe doctrine.
President Andrews, as we'll as Cholly
Frank, still believe that the original draft
prepared here last month Will be adopted
practically without change. He states

SUGGESTS A TRACK
MEET FOR GIRLS

Evanston. ILL.,, February 21.--Miss
Hazel woodruff, physical director of
young women students at Northwest
ern university, has suggested for a
girls track meet to take place in Pat
ton gymnasium some time in March.
The idea has found much favor among
the girls. Miss Woodruff said there
would be no trouble in getting a larger
percentage of entrants than take part
in such meets for men. The events
would include % and 80 yard dashes,
running and standing broad and high
jumps; a relay race, a shot put and a
pole vault.

of water supply. With the rapid in-
crease in population there has inevita-
bly, followed contamination of water
supplies in the vicinity of our villages
as. well as of our large cities Modern
science and the study of germ diseases
has made us realize that the springs
and we'll and rivers of the country can,
as population becomes more dense. be-
come SO contaminated as to render their
waters in the crude state unsafe for
continual use but modern science has
also taught the experts who handle the
water supplies of our great cities how
to solve this menace to the public health
by the elimination of borne dis
eases through publication and steriliza-
tion of the waters furnished. Every
body knows that the filtration plants
of the water company convert water
which would otherwise be frequently
muddy and yellow into water that Is
clear and transparent but this is the
smallest service which they perform.
They not only eliminate silt and clay
but eliminate the germs of water
borne diseases as well as the harmless
bacteria In the years which have
elapsed since the water company in

tion methods we assert positively that
there has not developed in Birmingham
a single case of typhoid fever or wa
ter-borne disease which can be attribu-
ted TO the use of the water that we have
furnished.
No Relation to Company Water
"As is well known. where typhoid
fever has developed in neighborhoods
in Birmingham, impartial medical in
quiry has always demonstrated that 1t
was due to milk or other local causes
having no relation to the water sup
piled by us.
Five Mile creek compares favorably
with other streams furnishing public
water supplies The water from that
stream is conducted to our North Bir-
mingham plant by a canal which in
many places is uncovered. In the Vi
cinity of this canal as the result of
the growth of the Birmingham district
dwelling houses have been built within
the past few years and no doubt some
people have feared that the water in
our Five Mile creek canal would be-
come contaminated What they have
not realized, however. is the fact that
we do not furnish this water in its
crude state, but SO scientifically treat

Gambling in Hotels

ing the mandate of the grand jury.
Gambling in Hotels
Common rumor says that there is
gambling in practically every hotel in
Birmingham and throughout the Unit
ed States and l am not prepared to
dispute the proposition that this is a
fact, but it is entirely unreasonable
to say that the owner of a building
who rents it for legalized business
purposes must stand guard over it or
employ detectives to procure evidence
that his tenants are violating the
law.
"Of the witnesses named in the in
dictment I have never spoken one word
or syllable to any one of them in re-
gard to the property or its use and
occupancy; and / don't think that one
of them ever saw me in the premises.
1t is therefore impossible to prove that
have any knowledge whatever that
the building is used for gambling pur-
poses. The solicitor knows that / can
not be convicted for an offense of
which / have no knowledge: nor can
be convicted for not obeying the
commands of the grand jury. This
comes nearer being persecution of one
person for the enforcement of the law
against another than anything I ever
heard of. I have no fears as to the
outcome of the case but think it quite
bad that / should be indicted for
crime punishable by sentence to the
penitentiary and for such fact to be
published to the world.
TT will be impossible for all those
who hear or read about this indict-
ment to have corrected in their minds

it in the manner described herein as
to srender II absolutely pure and whole-
some, even If the crude water should
become in any manner accidentally pol
luted. We are now spending approxi-
mato1y $4,000 to pipe the water to our
North Birmingham plant which has
heretofore been handled by the Five
Mile creek canal in all those sections
where dwellings are newly erected
We are doing this, not because the wa
ter from our North Birmingham plant
after publication has not been pure
and wholesome, but because we real
ize the vital interest that every cit
izen feels in the water used by HIM
self and his family and because we
not only wish to furnish water that
is pure and wholesome but wish to do
away with anything which might
create doubt or dissatisfaction in the
minds of those unfamiliar with the
scientific treatment incident to the
problem of modern water supply.
Examination of Water
"As an evidence of what we accom-
plished by our methods, an examin-
alton of Five Mile creek filtered wa
ter, sampled February Z, 1913. which
results are not unusual, showed no bac-
terra per cubic centimeter, bacillus coli
being absent in the test of one cubic
centimeter and also absent in the test
of 10 cubic centimeters. Cahaba river
water sampled February g. 1913,
showed eight bacteria per cubic cent?
meter; bacillus coli absent in one cubic
centimeter examined; and also absent
in 10 cubic centimeters examined. Nor
does this ANALYSIS show anything but
the average result. The crude water
from Idlewild spring may be as pure
as the crude water from Five Mile
creek or the Cahaba river. The diff
ference to the consumer is that the
Five Mile creek and Cahaba river wa
ters are purified by us according to
modern methods before delivery to the
consumer, while the water from the
Idlewild spring is furnished in its raw
or crude condition.
THE modern sewer is practically
certain to leak. Any spring water
however good 1t might have been in
the olden days. is certain sooner or
later to become contaminated if there
are dwellings and sewers in near prox-
unity. Sooner or later such springs as
fdlewild spring will become polluted
with sewage containing typhoid germs
and we believe it would be unsafe to
use continually water from such a
spring from the city's North Birming-
ham well, equally with water from
Five Mile creek and the Cahaba river
unless the water has been created ac-
cording to modern scientific methods
