Several months ago the water in the wells here played out anu the town was without water or any Kind for weeks at a time. Finally IL was decided to obtain the water sup nlv at Eight Mile creek and pipes were bought mad laid over mile out to the creek The water from the creek was started in this week and there is now a man on duty at the creek polh uay and night, There is good stream of water and 1t is remarkably clear, Work on the Altering plant VIII pe- gin next week and the people Of the city will enjoy a good supply of water during the summer months, thing that has not been possible for many years.
 In the early spring, dam from l2 to 16 feet high will be erected at the creek to insure a supply or water the year around. With dam IA feet high, IA. .oON .OOOO gallons of water may be stored, according to MT. Keil. It takes about 3,0O0.000 gallons of water per month for the city.
 One of the remarkable results or oo- taining water from the creek is the cheapness. In comparing the cost of pumping the water from the wells and obtaining it at the creek, Superinten- dent Kiel found that six tons Of coal per day was saved thereby saving the people of the town s30 per day

By H. FoNTAINE LITTLE

Sheffield, January .-tSpecial,) ,)-Ala- bama will return Senator oscar W. Underwood to 'he United States Senate if it is left to the voters of Colbert county. Impressed withe the fact that Senator Underwood has proved himself to be highly efficient and able public servant the people of this county do not relish the plan to resire him at this time when there is apparently no significant reason for thus dispensing with the senator s services
 That they might formally pledge them selves in behalf of Senator Underwood. a rousing rally was held this week in Tuscursihia, and close to 100 well-known citizens of the county were present, and marked by enthusiasm the sentiment was voiced that Senator Underwood would be sustained by an overwhelming ma pority in the forthcoming political con test.
 Al the Tuscumbia meeting organization was perfected for conducting the cam paign of Senator Underwood in Colbert county And it was manifested that there is a willingness on the part of citizens to get behind the senator's candidacy, and actively aid in electing him.
 The meeting was featured by addresses bv pr. w. H. Blake of Sheffield and Rev. N. O. Paterson, pastor of the Bap- tist church in Tuscumbia, both beins men of influence. pr Blake, an ardent pronioitionist, in detail told and cited tine reasons why he, as a prohibtionist, was giving his support to Senator Under wood Dr. Blake pointed out that pro hibition as an issue is dead,' and there fore. was not a point at issue in the presen- senatorial contest.
 Tn behalf of Senator Underwood's can ddacy, Dr. Patterson said that while he differed with some things the senator had sponsored, he nevertheless was his staunch supporter. He said he felt con strained to support Senator Underwood becauae of the latters loyalty to his constituents and his utter fearlessness
