 Several weeks ago Harrington tripped and fell to the ground. landing on his back. It was found that the lower and middle portions of the spinal column had been crushed and the resulting pressure on the spinal cord had par alyzed his legs. It was not believed that he would be able to survive, but he vas taken to the l.. F. t. hospital. Drs. C. s. Wilson, ". IT. Wilson and R. O.. Crozier finally decided upon an oper- a;ion in an effort to save his life.
 As preliminary the surgeons re- moved the pieces of the 20 crushed vertebrae. then took a careful measure ment of the portion of the spine re- moved Then they ordered steel tube about three feet long. shaped like the spine, with flexible joints, to cores rond with the vertebrae. This was in serted, extreme care being taken that every nerve branching from the spinal cordfshould be in it's proper place. Ther Harrington was placed in a plaster cast He has improved so much that he is now able to move his legs in the ted and tn. surgeons believe that hs will entirely recover and be able tt walk as well as ever.

NEW STALLS BEING

Fair Association Finds Demand for Stalls In Cattle Barn Greater
 Than Present Supply

Interest in the exhibition of cattle, both beef and dairy, has increased wonderfully over last year, and the Alabama state Fair is already booked to it's present limit for stalls in the cattle barns.
 Acting Secretary Sam Fowlkes has re- ceived from members of the cattlemen' s convention in session in Meridian reser- vations for 131 stalls.
 The fair association has gone about pre- pairing more stalls for the Remainder Of the cattle which will surely come 10 the fair. for the regular campaign for cattle has not yet begun.
 one reason for this wonderful increase is because the cattle tick quarantine has been removed from the Alabama State Fair grounds.

NEW DECATUR MAY CHANGE ITS NAME ID MORGAN CITY People Will Vote On Pro- posed Change At City
 Election Septem-
 Der 21

Decatur, August 17.-(SpeciaI) ) When the city election is held in New Decatur on September 21, the people of that city will be, called upon to vote on changing the name of New Decatur to Morgan City. The city council was pre- sented with a long list of names re- questing that the council call the cleo tion After much deliberation and dis cussion the city council decided to al low the people to vote on the change of name. A large number of people ia : vor the change, while many oppose the change It is not believed that the change will carry.
 Much has been said for and against the change of the name. Thus far no valid reason has been given for want ing to change the name
 New Decatur is the result of the or ganizaiien of land company and a real estate boom which followed dur
 ing the year 1Ss6-S7. The mistake was made at that time by laying off an entirely new city instead of calling it all Decatur. as it should have been.
 The real cause of the birth of New Decatur is the fact that the heads of the land company wanted to move De catur's postoffice away from Bank street and place it in what is now New Decatur. Citizens of Decatur pro tested against this and New Decatur was the result. The postoffice ques- tion has been a bone of contention be- tween the two cities of Decatur and New Decatur ever since. When, few months ago, the federal government decided to build a $60,000 postoffice building in Decatur this was the straw that broke the cameIs back
 From time to time the question oi consolidating the two cities has como up. but no agreement at any time could ever be reached, owing to many reasons. One of the greatest reasons is that New Decatur has much more territory and would therefore require the keeping up of more streets and sidewalks than Decatur. At the same time the revenues of Decatur have been almost as much as those of New De catur. Then there are two business centers and Decatur has the union pas senger station, the county courthouse and the hotels. On this account many Decatur people believe that consoh- dation at this time would injure, if not almost obIiterate, Decatur's business interests.

WRITES CARD REG ABIDING RE- PORT OF ENGINEER KENDRICK AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WATER SITUATION.

In a letter to the president of the city commission. John W Sibley ex- presses the hope that the city will ap- prcpriate money for the purpose oi permitting it's engineer to sdelve more deeply into the question of construct ing municipal water plant.
 This is question which should be threshed out independent of any other election and what is the use of go- ing into a farce?p are some of his phrases.
 His letter follows:
 T have read with a great deal of interest and edification Mir. kendrick S report on municipal waterworks
 Tt is very comprehensive and shows remarkable research and capable in vestigation considering the short time at his command
 This is not surprising to those who have known him and are familiar with the successful manner in which he handled the difficult problems for the Jefferson county sanitary sewer com mission
 T think large majority of our peo- pie believe that the city should own it's waterworks plant, both from the standpoint of efficiency and economy for itself and the citizens, but in d matter of such magnitude and import anee it is safe plan to make haste slowly and not be guilty of a leap in the dark
 "Mr Kendrick in his report states that before any definite plans should be entered upon, careful and exhaus- tive surveys and tests should be made.

SHELBY URGES CITY TO MAKE HASTE SLOWLY

known physical conditions may develop that might considerably increase the cost of such an undertaking.
 We know that in the case of the Panama canal the ultimate cost was vastly increased because of too much haste in the beginning.
 T think that it would he money well | spent for the city to appropriate a suf- | ficient sum, and grant longer time for | Mir Kendricx to delve to the bottom fn more exhaustive investigation of this proposition.
 "If a reasonable trade can be made for the purchase of the preslnt plant, it would be the far wiser thing to do.
 And we should take into consideration the vast expense of tearing up all Of our streets and spelling cur permanent pavements While it is possible to re- place them in as good condition as at first, our experience and practice shows that is has seldom been done here or in other cities.
 "Ths is a question that should be threshed out independent of any other election, as it is impossible to have the public will clearly, calmly and wisely expressed when at the Sd ne election the personal interest of candidates for office is bound to be the paramount Issue.
 While I am sore at the waterworks for it's high rates and it's harsh treat ment of it's patrons on many occasions and feel that they should be made to treat us fairly, still we must be ready and willing to give the square deal when we demand 1t from the other fellow; while we condemn his injustices, we must not be unmindful of his help in our dire time of need in the late eighties.
 "One of the commissioners is quoted as saying we would have to hold second election in order to purchase the present plant and that the result of the pro posed election on the Ast would not be mandatory on your honorable board.
 What is the use of going into a farce? Why not carefully prepare the issues and submit all to one election to be held at a later date, when our people can calmly and dispassionately and intelligently act on matter that means so much to the future welfare and greatness of our city?'
