Ilightened electorate Of each state to pass
the necessary laws for the domestic con-
troll of their own people," the Alabama
senator continued. IF the federal gov
eminent is once called on to enter the
field, apprehend and punish the petty
vices of the citizens of the states in re-
spect to the matters authorized by this
resolution it will not be long before eff
forts will be made to further extend the
police powers of the federal government
and this will result in destroying state
boundaries and the abolition of state gov
ernments."
Leaders on both sides expect the vote
on the resolution to be close. A two
thirds majority is required for passage.

$4,000 PAIDOUT
At ADMISSION AS
CAMP PAY ROLL
This Amount Was Drawn
Saturday by 1917 Men
Now Engaged in
Construction

Admission, July so.-(special.)- Thir-
teen thousand dollars was paid Satur-
day night to the 1917 men who are
now engaged in the work of building
Camp Mcclellan. This was the first
pay roll for work done at the new
camp. OF the 1917 men whose names
appeared on the pay rolls of the con-
tractors, comparatively few had
worked a full week. hundreds having
arrived from New Orleans and other
points since last Tuesday
In an interview. Maj. C. l.. Dulin
stated that arrangements are being
made to accommodate 44,5oO men in the
local camp.
PROBLEM OF WATER
The problem of an adequate water
supply for the camp was settled Sat-
urday. when it was definitely decided
to use city water. In order that this
may be done, centrifugal pumps will
be installed at Coldwater, the source
of the city supply. Each of these pumps
will have capacity of 2100 gallons
Per minute. The government will Law
10-inch water pipes, commencing at
Fifteenth street, whence it will extend
along the RICH of way of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad to Blue
Mountain, thence across the Southern
railways right of way, to a point just
south of the Cane creek trestle, and
thence along the new government spur
into the reservation. This main will be
six miles long. An order has been
placed for the pipe, and the work Of
distributing it along the line began
Monday.
To complete the water system, and
as safety measure, there will be con-
structed on the reservation a concrete
reservoir, with a capacity of 100000
gallons. This reservoir will be located
on one of the high hills adjacent to the
camp site thus affording a sufficient
gravity pressure for all practical pur-
poses.
PROGRESS is RAPID
Lumber is now rolling in by train
loads, and hundreds of teams are at
work hauling it over the pike, from
the end of the machine gun Camp spur
to the new camp site. This haul will
soon be shortened considerably, how
ever, as a new spur will soon be con-
structed from the Southern railway TO
the camp.
CROP APPRAISALS
Crops have been appraised by fair
minded men and finally the owners

the spot. An average price of $19.S5
per acre was paid on the second pur-
chase to make room for the additional
troops, which is a much better price
than the first lot was procured at.
44,500 MEN COMING
In speaking of this matter, Major
pulin said: II am glad to state that
very satisfactory arrangements were
made with the owners of crops on the
additional land acquired for the in
creased number of troops which Will
consist of one brigade and a regiment
over and above the original number"
The increased number will bring the
total up to 44,500, instead of $4,000 as
originally intended. This will give An
niston a population of about $4,000, to

BOOM DAYS RECALLED

While there is something of real
estate boom in Admission at the present
time, it is mild compared with the big
land boom of 80 years ago, that finan-
cially made and unmake a number of
Admission citizens. The county records
show that land reached far higher fig
ures within the city limits back in the
sos than it is selling for today, in spite
of the present BOOM
AS an instance of this, the sale was re-
corded 80 years ago next month of two
lots on Noble street, between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth, for $500. These same lots
sold recently for $1,000, and since that they
have changed hands again, and the rec
ord shows the transfer of the property
from L. M. Burns to w. H. WeatherIy
for 81 and other considerations"
On the same block lot sold for $3.50
to Virginia man. This lot was bought
by l.. M. Burns a few days ago for $780,
Real estate men are active, and numer-
Gus transfers of land are being made
but no great boom is being looked for
ward to. On the contrary it is believed
that such a boom will be discouraged,
as past experience has shown that land
booms in city usually result disas-
trously.

OPPOSED TO RESOLUTION
PERFONCTORY DEBATE

under unanimous consent agreement

debate was purely perfunctory with but

\ number of spectators in the galleries.
senator sheppard, author of the pend

ment to the states, opened the debate and

I in a brief speech opposed the resolu

ators Ashurst and Shafroth, both OF
whom supported it. The debate will CON
tinue tomorrow and a large number OF
senators have declared their intention of
speaking.
SPEECH OF TEXAN
The constant activity of the liquor in
terests is peril to free institutions,
Senator Sheppard told the Senate, while
alcoholic liquor itself is a menace to the
nations wealth, morals and efficiency.
Organized labor he said, has been asked
to oppose prohibition because bartenders
and brewery and distilery employees are
members of unions.
Labor is asked to imperil its very ex-
istence,' said the Texas senator, ito take
food from the mouths and clothes from
the backs of men. women and children to
sustain traffic meaning hunger, disease
and death for the ma ses while liquor
barons thrive in luxury.
IF the liquor traffic is to be eradicated.
the aid of the federal government must
be invoked The partnership between the
liquor traffic and the federal government
is one of the most frightful heritages
of the Civil war;
Senator Underwood declared adoption
of the amendment would have a ten
dency to centralize our government under
police autocracy such as exists in Ger
many and Austria Hungary entrench-
ment of national authority and weaken
ing the sovereignty of the people.

Our Old Brindle Cow

Dad used to remark that our
old brindle COW for foolishness
beat the whole herd that she al
ways kept nosing and browsing
around as if she had just gotten
word that grass over yonder in
Hackletop's field was longer and
sweeter than our patch could
yield. Her milk all dried up
and she got poor as sin while
hunting a hole in the fence. She
acted percisely as if she was shy
on the stuff that is known as COW
sense. Dad said she reminded
him once in a while of some
economical guys~who chase after
bargains in some other town,
then find to their own great sur
prise, after rosing around and
spending a heap, that goods can
be bought here at home just as
cheap. The grass may look
greener in some other field, but
the COW that is sassy and fat is
the COW that gets busy and eats
up the grass that is growing
right here where she's at, and
the some.where-else bargains
may look mighty fine when pic.
tured in double page ads, but the
folks who get busy and boost the
home town will have the, most
fun with their scads.
