setting the facts of the situation
squarely before the world. You can

current events for six months or a

had a record breaking run of eight
managers during these same six years,

The Bank of Bay Minette, organized
on May srh OF the present year by Jay

most promising and rapidly growing
business organizations in the county
OF Baldwin.
From the beginning it has been a
peoples institution, close to the affairs
of the farmers of the section. and to
those OF the people Of Bay Minette.

Mr.. Hanna has been successfully
engaged in the banking business in
Arkansas. Mississippi. and Kentucky,
and has had the experience and pos

him to unhesItatsngly declare a bright
future for Baldwin financially.
The Bank Of Bay Minette has, as it's

that Mr.. Mix and Mr.. VIM Powell,

A Bit of History.
The history of Baldwin county's de-
velopment reads very much like that
of all that vast territory known as the
New South, which, after the close of
the civil war, was destined to play so
important a part in the general devel-
opu1ent and financial condition Of one
Of the greatest and most productive
areas in the United States.
First the timber was turpentined;
later the hum OF the saw mill filed the
land; and then, with the help Of the
Alabama sunbeams, the virgin land,
sweetened a bit with well chosen soil
foods known to the expert fertilizer
man, broad acres of promise smiled

| TO the farmer-these two great indus

in the industrial situation in Baldwin
but each has played and is playing
its part in the three important stages
Of development Of the territory as a
whole.
The county of Baldwin was estab-
lished by an act of the Mississippi ter
ritorial legislature, December 81, 1909,
being named in honor Of the late Abra-
ham Baldwin, a Georgia statesman.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-The Hetch
Hetchy bill, providing water supply
system for San Francisco. passed the
house today by vote of 1ss to 43.
Though the bill has not yet passed
the senate, there is every probability
that it will meet with but little op-
position there. The test vote taken
in the house before the final passage
of the measure indicated that the op-
position would be weak, the vote
standing 80 to 15.
This indication proved to be true
when the bill came up for final pas
sage, the opponents OF the measure
who made such a determined attack
yesterday being completely over
whelmed and showed under.
END OF LONG FIGHT NEAR
The bill. as 1t now goes to the sem
ate, gives the city and county of San
Francisco the Hetch Hetchy valley,
Lake Eleanor and adjoining sources
OF water supply in the Yosemite ma
tional park 1t assures the munich
pality, after a long fight, an adequate
supply of good, pure water.
1t obviates one of the chief dangers
which San Francisco has faced in the
past-that of insufficient water for
the use of the fire department in ex-
tinguishing fires In the suburban Sec
tions OF the city.
The fight that San Francisco has
made for this concession has been a
long and hard one. The bill has had
to withstand bitter attacks, largely
on the part of those who had some
private az to grind. Virtually every
disinterested person in San Francisco
favored the measure.
MINNEsOTAN FIGHTS BILL
The Hetch Hetchy bill came up In
the house yesterday and met with a
fierce attack by it's opponents, which
resulted after FIVE hours of debate in
the vote on the bill being postponed
until today Several amendments
were proposed. but only one OF them
was adopted
The chief opponent of the bill yes
terday was Representative Steener-
son of Minnesota who. when he saw
that the bill was about to go to vote,
instituted a stubborn filibuster. AT
first he raised the point of mo
quorum" but when the rollcall
showed quorum present, he demand
ed that the engrossed bill be read
This action proved effective and the
bill went over.

made to the bill yesterday was that

.ure, who agreed to incorporate the

which he admitted that he had prom

the party left Sacramento for Reno.

Doane took notes Of the statements
made by Caminetti. Miss Norris and
their companions, Maury T. Diggs and
Marsha Warrington. which were Sc
cured by Z. E. Atkinson, assistant
district attorney of Sacramento. on the
train en- route home from Reno after
the arrest.
READS FROM HIS NOTES
He read from his notes that Camin-
etti had intended going to Reno to
stay. that he never expected to go
back to Sacramento. that he had even
discussed trying to get possession Of
his daughter. Naomi. from his wife
after he had secured a divorce.

the natural thing for Woodwork to

not do Caminetti's case any good.
DEFENSE WILL USE DoANE
Woodwork couldn't get what he
was after next-the conversation of
Diggs and the Warrington girl. SO he
asked Doane to stay around and Will
put him in the witness chair later to-
day
Two witnesses for the defense were
called before the noon recess. They
were alfred Putnam. sporting editor OF

a chauffeur who lives in Sacramento.
Putnam said he told Miss warringto
there was no truth In the story she
had heard to the effect the Bee In
tended publishing scandal story con-
tanning the names Of the four young
people.
Judge Van Fleet had to warn Leitch
often to use the English language.
According to the attorneys for the
defense. they can submit their case
tomorrow afternoon II Judge Van Fleet
will consent to hold court until S
o'clock. Unless the day is dragged
out very late. the probability is the
case will not go to the jury until
Friday.
Mrs. Drew Caminetti and her baby,

room this afternoon. Mrs. Caminetti
will testify in behalf of her husband.
