Old Document Found.

William H. Wills of Bennington has
received from friend in Burlington a
legal document of much interest, dis
covered while searching some old files.
1t consists Of the patent papers cover
ing the Canadian rights on one of the
first automatic horse shoe Matchmaking
machines ever constructed, allowed to
Mr.. Wills grandfather shortly after
the civil war. Prior to the invention of
this machine, the shaping and pointing
of horse shoe nails had been done by
hand and was slow and laborious pro-
cess. Mr.. Wills grandfather FL. A.
Wills. drew up machine in KeeseVille,
N. Y, for doing the work automatical-
ly, which was patented in this country
and Canada, afterward going into the
manufacture of the mails in Burlington.
In the early eighties he sold his rights
in the machine on a royalty basis to the
Northwestern Horse Nail company and
came connected with them as master
mechanic, which position he held for a
number of years. The inter, , the
document is the fact thu y a. lyally

the same style as are being used both
in this country and Canada at present
for the manufacture of nails. 1t is also

Awarded $4,000 for Loss of Sight,

Walter HOLSTER, the 16-year-old Ben
nington boy who was shot with peas by
Charles p OatIuan while stealing
grapes from the latter's premises last
fall and who lost his eyesight as a re-
suit, will get $4,000, according to a YER
dict returned by n jury in county court
at Bennington shortly before noon
Tuesday. While Oatman's aggravation
from the raids by boys on his grapes
was natural, sympathy has been with
the boy because IF the seriousness of
his injuries. After the elderly man
fired at the lad it was thought the sight
of one eye might be saved, and he un'
derwent treatment in the Samaritan
hospital in Troy, N. Y. However, the
sight was irreparsbly lost, and the jury
returned the verdict promptly.

HEALTH SYST [ M
 IMPORTANT MATTER CONFRONTING STATE
Colonel Davis of Walker Gives Views on Issues That Will Be Factors in the
 GubernatOrial Campaign

The question of public health and the establishment of better health system throughout the state is the most important problem confronting Alabama, in the opinion of w. C. Davis of Jasper, chairman of the recess judi ciary committee of the legislature and one of the best known lawyers in the state, who was in Birmingham yester- day.
 As one of the principal factors in the movement which resulted several years ago in the establishment of a unified health system with an all-time health officer in Walker county, MT. Davis is keenly interested in the effort now being made for the adoption of the system for Jefferson county as outlined by pr. fCarro1l Fox of the United States health service.
 Walker county, which due to pecu- liar conditions, had been ravaged by preventable diseases for years, has under the new system, become one of the healthiest counties in the United States" declared MT. Davis. Prevent able diseases formerly were rampant, just as they have been in Jefferson and other counties in Alabama We had typhoid rate among the highest. The same federal experts who came to Jefferson county came to Walker and stamped out the epidemics for the time abeing
 But that would amount to little they explained, unless we took the proper steps for the future. After much hard work, we finally persuaded the county health department to pay the money necessary for the establishment of unified health department for the entire county under the direction of trained health expert. pr. A. c. Grote 1t was with reluctance that the county board consented to pay all the money The people insisted that not only could the county afford the expense, but it could not afford not to spend. that money. Financially, even putting it on a cold commercial basis, our health department is the best investment the county ever made. Its benefits in the saving of lives and in suffering need no argument.
 1T think this issue of the public health should receive first considera- ton in the next gubernatorial race and in the campaign for the legislature
 T am also keenly interested in the educational amendment and the move ment to take the convicts out of the mines and other private employment, Then I think there are some slight changes which should be made in the court system and court procedure. The changes made by the present legisla- ture were great steps forward, but due to the vast amount of work to be done some matters of slight detail could not be attended to-
 Regarding the gubernatorial race, Mir. Davis has no suggestions as to the names of candidates themselves He expressed the opinion that there was ample time to make this selec. tion. However, I hope some strong man will be chosen who will perss- tently and forcefully advocate the propositions I have outlined,' said MT Davis.

TALLADEGA

Talladega, December 19.-(Special.) ) The city board of commissioners, on the recommendation of the committee from a citizens mass meeting, have passed an ordinance providing for a municipal census of Ta1ladega. One enumerator will be selected for each ward. It is confidently claimed that the result will show something over 1000 population.
 Cards from the county physician in the local newspapers notify the cit izens that the city water has been analysed and is now being treated with chlorine, and is therefore quite safe to be used. The trouble grew out of the fact that the water was served to consumers without being treated with chlorine gas, owing to an accident to the chlorine machine Not withstanding this, the people are bending every energy to find a new source of supply of soft water
 Some state politicians are quietly at work in the city. Friends of John H. Wallace are distributing reading matter and talking up his fitness for chief executive.
