Poor Demand For Goods Slows Up Huntsville Cotton Mills
Tennessee ValIy Bureau)

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, June L. Especial Ut is the intention of the operators of the Huntsville Knitting mill to close down the plant when the present supply of raw cotton is ex- hausted, according to announcement here today. There is said to be enough cotton on hand to operate a few more days, and when that is gone there will be no attempt to obtain more or to keep the plant running because there is no sale for its output, The knitting mill has been operating only two days a week for sometime past and its op- eratives have been drifting away seek ing more steady employment.
 The West Huntsville, Lowe and Margaret mills are operating on half time and no prospects of improvement can be seen yet, the agents declare. Contrasting strongly with the other mills, the Lincoln, Dallas and Merri- mack are operating full time, the Lin coin going with a night and day shift. The Lincoln has big orders ahead for automobile tire fabrics and tops-a demand which has no sign of lessening at this time-and heavy duck ing for other purposes such as mail sacks and awnings, tents, etc.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 2.--The state child welfare department, of which Miss Virginia B. Handley is the newly appointed director, is planning to launch campaign along educational lines for county organization work in the state, At the last session of the legislature an enabling act was passed making it possible for all counties in the state to establish county boards of child welfare with an all time proba- tion officer.
 Although the law is not mandatory, hope was expressed by Miss Handley that many counties of the state will avail themselves of the assistance which the child welfare department is willing to give in he:ping establish these county boards.
 Many states, North Carolina, for in- stance, have a mandatory act making it necessary for every county to em- ploy a county superintendent of child welfare or probation officer, but it is the belief of the child welfare depart ment that when an organizer goes in from the department, makes survey of all child welfare conditions in the county and shows the real need of a probation officer in that county, that the result will be more effective when the establishment comes from the county itself.
 During the summer the child welfare department is going to put on an ex- tensive educational campaign through out the state, making known facts and conditions of child welfare in the state and of county organization work. The Alabama Federation of Women's clubs the Alabama League of Women Voters mems clubs and church organizations have expressed themselves as being greatly interested in the eddcational campaign of the department and will assist in every way possible toward bringing about county units for child welfare.

Citizens Meet At Moulton To Plan Rebuilding
 Of Institution
lTennessee Valley Bureaul

ALBANY-DECATUR, Ala, June ?. Citizens of Lawrence county met in a mass meeting at Moulton Monday eve ming to launch a. movement to rebuild at once the Lawrence County High school, which was destroyed by fire Saturday night, between II and 12 o'clock, according to long-distance re- port received here today. The origin of the fire has not been determined, it was said. The building was burned in one hour, the loss including much of the schools equipment and all of it's rec ords. Abcdt 9 desks were saved.
 The school was established in 1908, and at that time it cost between $10,O00 and $12,00O. Estimates now are that quired to replace it. Insurance amount ed to approximately $14,0O0. The building was two stories in height, built of brick and contained six class rooms, together with two large halls, a hand some auditorium, library and offices.
 Hotel Man Near Death-Relatives here this afternoon received word that A. Lamar Poindexter, son-in-law of Sam Franks of Decatur and prominent hotel man at Tybee Beach, Ga, is slightly improved and hope now is held for his recovery. He received wounds Satur- day night when he was said to have been shot by a discharged employe. Word received by relatives here was that Poindexter's condition is very seri- ous, but the crisis will not be passed until probably Tuesday. Bullets al- legged to have been fired by B. H. Rails, a former clerk in the Poindexter hotel, pierced the wounded mans intestines. He was taken to the Oglethorpe sani- tarium, where it was decided a blood transfusion would be necessary. Blood from Miss Elizabeth Poindexter was transferred to her father in an effort to save his life.

ALABAMA EXCELS SOUTHERN STATES IN MALARIA WORK
Dr. Welch Reports Prog. ress In Correcting City
 Water Supplies
(State Cajital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June D. Alabama is far in the lead among southern states in malaria control work, according to statement in the annual report of the state board of health. The board of health submitted two annual reports, for 1921 and 1922 at the same time, giving interesting data on the anti-malaria fight.
 In the last report, in subdivision, comprising the report of the bureau of sanitary engineering, signed by G. H. Hazelhurst, director, it was stated:
 'The anti-malaria work in Alabama is being conducted with very definite ends in view. It is expected to rid the state of malaria fever first, to relieve the economic burden now being carried, and second, to place before the in- dustries of the nation and persons de- string to make this state their future home, a country more healthful than that in which they now reside.
 Problem of South
 At present the south is under sus- picion if not popular quarantine. Most of this misconception is based on con ditions which obtained many years ago. However, there is just enough truth in this suspicion to prevent the state from branding the advertising which causes 1t, as false.
 This quarantine, so to speak, must be raised county by county, as the cattle tick quarantine was raised. A clean bill of health on malaria especial ly is necessary. With it, as an inn portant factor, will come full economic development, meaning increased values and larger prosperity.
 This state is now far in the lead of any other southern state in this line of work, and will be able to bid success cities who realize this will go the fruits of victory, while to others, failure"
 Water Supplies Bettered
 Dr. S. w. Welch, state health off eer, stated in the report with reference to the engineering work of the health department: "The work of the engi- neering bureau in the year 1922 was the best in it's history. The United States Public Health Service and the International Health Board aided the state board of health in assembling un' der this bureau seven engineers and two doctors. This the largest force of professional men engaged by any state board of health in malaria con trol work. We have made a steady ad vance in the work of controlling the municipal water supplies and have aided a number of smaller towns in installing sewerage disposal plants"
 In connection with the report, how ever, Dr. Welch noted with regret that Alabama so far has been unable to gel into the registration area. This is due to the failure of the people tC cooperate, it is stated. In order to bC admitted to the registration area, it ii necessary to have reported to, the bu reau of vital statistics 90 per cent oi the births and deaths in the state. The last check showed Alabama with 85.4 per cent, or below the figure needed.
