ANNISTON DISTRICT
 NOTED FOR MINERALS

From the earliest days of Alabama his tory the territory now known as the An njston district had been noted for it's mineral wealth. One of the first iron furnaces built in the state was the Cane Creek furnace, located few miles north west of the city. This was erected a few years after the Maria forge in Tal- ladega county, also in the Anniston dis trict. At the Cane Creek ironworks was made part of the iron used to sheath the Merrim2c in the early days of the civil war. It also made large salt kettles. blow shares. pots, skillets The trip hammer was actuated by water power. During the war much of the nor for gunboats.
 Seven miles from Anniston, at Weaver station, are the Weaver caves, where, during the war the Confederate govern ment obtained large part of its nitre for making gunpowder
 At Jenifer, not far from Anniston, was constructed another furnace during the war, and furnaces at Oxford and Janney At Blue Mountain City, on the outskirts O. Anniston was a large depot of am- intuition and supplies, partly made in Calhoun county, which was destroyed by General Croxton near the close of the war.
 The Woodstock furnaces, built by Sam uel Noble and General Daniel Tyler who also bought the Oxford furnace, was the start of Anniston. Brown hematite ore limestone and nearby coal made production cheap. and iron prices were high, iron selling at $50 a ton.
 The Anniston district has been ever since developing it's snineral resources, but it may be truly said they are scarcely scratched as ye,. A solid moun- tain of brown ore has lately been dis covered few miles north of the city and is being developed.

well entrenched that his opponent will find it impossible to oust him.
 The Fourth district has fared better at the hands of the federal government than several of the other districts of the state mon. While he has served shorter time of the Alabama delegation, he has man. aged to procure for his people as much of value as any other man. Figuratively, he has showered his territory with bless ings
 In the session about to convene, MT. Blackmon will make strenuous efforts to put through an ambitious programme which will mean for the Fourth better roads, better health, diversification of crops on a scientific basis, improvement in federal buildings and federal service, and much else of general character. The representative of the Fourth has proved himself to be loyal party man, and he stands high iri the favor of the leaders of the party, especially the great leader, President Wilson In the support of administration measures, Mr. Black mon has always been active, and in aiding the President, he has been successful, at the same time, in maintaining harmony in the party when breaks" have been imminent.
 Mr Blaekmon. in a recent interview, declared that the prosperity wave bound ing about us means the retention in the White House of the democratic President and the election of another democrat to succeed him when his second term ex- pires

CHAMBERLAIN HAS FINE RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT
 AS ELECTRIC ENGINEER

One of the most interesting men in Alabama is F. H. Chamberlain, general manager of the Alabama Power com pany, and he is one of the best in- formed men in the United States as to electricity. Mir. Chamberlain knows every phase of electrical work, and has studied it for many years.
 Mir. Chamberlain received his first practical training in electrical work in the plant of the Leo Daft Electric company in 1886 After period with this company, he joined the Julian Elec- tric Storage Battery company of New York, and under their chief engineer. c. o. Maillaux, had charge of the in- stallation of traction storage batte ey works in the Fourth Avenue railroad in New York
 Later he joined with MT. Maillaux in consulting engineering work erect Ing lighting and street railway plants IF lS9O He continued in this line of work for six years, and was appointed electrical engineer for the Metropolitan street Railroad company of Washing ton, D. c. At this time the Metropoli- tan company was endeavoring to op- crate it's Georgetown line by electric storage batteries This proved too cost I. Chamberlain. they installed an under ground conduit system in 1897
 In 1899 MT. Chamberlain joined the General Electric company as general manager of installation work It was MT. Chamberlain who constructed the Albany and Hudson railroad the first railway in America of the high speed type to adopt the third rail system.
 He later accepted position as as- slstant electrical engineer of the rail- ways and tramways department of the New South Wales government, with headquarters in Sydney, Australia. This vas in 1900, and he remained there fer three years. He then accepted a position as manager and chief engineer of municipal tramways of Christ church, New Zealand, at a time when the municipality had decided to install an electric system of street railways in competition with privately owned sys- tens. The existing railways were owned by three companies who placed what was considered 8 too high value on their holdings. MT. Chamberlain remained in Christchurch five years, completing the municipal street railway and putting it in operation. He then returned to America and joined the General Electric company again. While

Site of Garden of Eden
the Christian Herald.

From the ChrlStlan Herald.
 The history of Bahrein. in the Persian gulf, is long and interesting. Ancient tombs found in the interior tell us that the Phoenicians once settled there. The kings of Assyria frequently fought there The Babylonians called the island Dill nun.
 Again the island is the center of inter- est, for there has recently been discov- cred in Babylonia a large clay tablet recording the story of Paradise, the deluge and the Fall of Man, and the story tells us that the island of Barrein, the ancient Dilmun, was the paradise, the Garden of Eden, where man first lived.
 The newly deciphered tablet recording
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-28

this story was among the many inscribed objects found by the expedition sent to Babylonia from the University of Penn sylvania. Prof. Stephen Langdon. young American scholar, who is professor of Assyriology in Jesus college, Oxford. Eng land, a chair endowed by an American family, was visiting the museum in Phil adelphin ia the autumn Of 1912
 At that time he copied number of the tablets, one of which was a triangular fragment. He took the clay tablet to Oxford. where it was shown to the emi- nent English scholar Professor Sayce, and it was discovered that it recorded a part of an early Sumerian story of the flood and of the fall of man.

CALHOUN COUNTY IS
 PROUD OF BLACKMON

Frederick L. Blackmon is Anniston's contribution to the great Fourth district. Since 1910, when s. J. Bowie. then of Tal- ladega, retired from hrs service as con gressman, MT. Blackmon was elected to fill the vacancy. He has done so since with singular credit to his district and distinction to himself. Practically every well-posted man in Alabama knows that Mr. Blackmon can remain in Congress as long as he desires.
 MT. Blackmon won his spurs as a re- suit of his own energy and tireless effort. He was born in September, 1873, in Lime Branch, Polk county, Georgia. He was brought to Calhoun county, this state while he was still a small boy. He at- tended private and public schools in An niston and Choccolocco, and eventually entered the University of Alabama in it's law department. He was graduated two years later, and was admitted to the bar in 1894. He became the junior member of law firm of statewide prominence, Knox, Acker, Dixon & Blackmon. He remained a member of that firm until his election to Congress. At that time he tired from practice-literally burned his bridges behind him-in order that he might be able, without dstracting cir cumstances, to give hrs time and effort to the people who had so singnally hon. ored him.
 MT. Blackmon, in his early years ad- mitted leaning toward politics. Short ly after his admission to the bar he was chosen city attorney or Anniston. In bo +bo state senate, and he served in the capac- ity of senator until 19l0 In the service of the state he was conspicuous, so con- spicuOus as a matter or fact, that when the congressional vacancy was created the people almost unanimous turned in their thoughts to him as the man to rep resent the district
 In Congress, MT. Blackmon has served his people capably and faithfully. He has managed to attract attention from national standpoint without neglecting the lesser things-the small affairs of the individuals who make up his district He has acquired record for remaining lon the job" and doing things at the same time. While on one or more political questions, certain political leaders Of the district disagree with the congressman, these same leaders, nppreciating his value. have never made vigorous effort to encompass his defeat, which argues we'll for the fundamental worth of the man. This fact is another exemplification of MT Blackmon's abr1ity to make friends. He is of most affable manner, and possesses that consideration for the other fellow which makes him most willing and patient listener. As re- suit. his following is large and enthusi- astic in every county of the Fourth, and Ii the time ever comes when he eneeunt- CTS formidable opposition, ne will be so
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-28

with the General Electric people he had direct charge of the installation of a hydroelectric system for Ontario, Can ada, covering territory of 200 miles; of McCalls Ferry, which supplies hy drcelectric power for Baltimore, Md, and of 1200-volt D. c. system for Washington, Baltimore and other street railway systems.
 Mir. Chamberlain left the General Electric company to take charge of the property of the Westport- Stockton Coal company on the west coast of New Zealand He remained there for two years, returning to America un- der contract to large northern inter ests. However. he left them and joined the Alabama Power company in 1913, and has had charge of the operations Of that company in this state since.
 He has bought property and built home here and it is evident he intends making Birmingham his home in flu ture. He comes of English stock, his father having been born in England, and his mother was the daughter of Maj. George Boyd of Milledgeville, Ga.
