THE PLATFORM
On Which the Citizens' Reform Ticket
 Goes to the People.

The following is a synopsis of the plat- form of the citizens' reform movement, whose nominee for mayor is MT. James A. VanHoose.
 We favor strictly business administra- ton of the affairs of the city of Birming- ham, and the elimination of politics from municipal elections and government.
 We favor an honest, economical and im- partial administration of the government of the city.
 We favor the law being so changed as to abolish the office of recorder, and to im- pose his work upon the mayor.
 We are opposed to the creation of offices for the purpose of giving places to political partisans, and favor the abolishment of all offices not absolutely necessary to the suc- cessful administration of municipal affairs. We favor reducing the expenses of the municipal government so that the expenses of the city shall not exceed it's income.
 We favor the impartial enforcement of the laws, without any discrimination against any person, class or business, aud declare for broad gsuged liberal city ad. ministration, just to 1ea persons, parties
 We are unconditionallyeu posed to frauds upon the ballot and pledge Ourselves to use our influence for fair and honest elections.
 We are opposed to the issuance of any more bonds by the city until it's financial condition is vastly improved.
 We insist that competent, honest and en- ergetic men shall fill all municipal offices, and we are opposed to partisanship being made test of a mans fitness for office. The rule should be fair pay for faithful ser vice.
 We are opposed to the proposed purchase of the water works by the city in It's pres- ent financial condition.
 We favor increased fire protection, thus reducing rates of insurance.
 We are in favor of maintaining the faith and credit of the city, and to this end de- clare that an honest effort shall be made to fund the city's bonded debt at low rate of interest. so that the city government eco- nomically administered may be able to meet it's obligations promptly without hay ing to sacrifice it's lights, or streets, or police or fire protection, or to further cripple it's public schools.
 The candidates of the reform movement stand on this platform, and we earnestly ask every man who is interested in Bir- mingham, without respect 10 his politics, creed or vocation, to unite with us and to work and vote for our ticket.
 The crisis which is upon us is fearfully ominous and demands an immediate and radical change in the policy and practice of our city government. H-13-2t

Jumpiug Hurdles.


 In jumping hurdles the one thing which is imperativeis is not to jump them. Hurdle racing has become entirely an artificial sport It was discovered that, by taking off from one foot and landing on the other, and by covering the ten yards between each hurdle in three strides, the hurdles could be run over, instead of jumped, and it was also discovered that the man who couldn't perform this acrobatic feat was not in the same hunt with the man who could. A long jumper, with turn of speed, has a much better chance of becom- ing a good hurdler than high jumper. It is a pastime which requires much prac- tice. You must harden your shins and keep as near to the top bar of the hurdle as you can. If you are clearing the hur- dies by too much, you must practice leav- ing part of the skin of your leg on the top bar.
 A famous hurdle racer. H. K. Upcher of Oxford, who, by assiduous practice, brought the surmounting = one could hardly call it the clearing-of hurdles to the highest point of perfection, was in the habit of pumping each hurdle in practice to make sure he was not going too high, and of going through the top rail when it was movable, and sometimes when it was not, in order to be quite certain that there was nothing unnecessary to spare.-Fort- nightly Review.

The Snilax.

Do not imagine that this beautiful vine can be owned and enjoyed only by those who have an experienced gardener and ex- pensive greenhouse. Almost any flower lover can add 1t to her window collection and thereby possess vine that is univer- sally admired and holds higher place in public favor for decorative purposes than almost any other plant or vine known. The flowers, although fragrant, are small and rather insignificant. But the luxu- riant masses of glossy foliage are as beauti- full as showy blossoms and are unexcelled for bouquets, wreaths and other cut fow- CT work, since sprays remain fresh and bright for hours after being cut from the main vine. The smilax is propagated by dividing the roots, which consist of nu- merous tubers united by top, or crown, from which the vine grows; also from seed, but as these are slow to germinate much tiresone waiting will be avoided if good healthy plants are purchased from a reliable florist. It requires rich, sandy soil and plenty of light, but seems particu- larly adapted to those locations where di- rect sunshine is unobtainable at all times, as it will grow and thrive best when par tially shaded.

ssaa ---- eT..ss% ~ z


 The AaE-H HERALD last evening sought an interview with MT. Robert Warnock, democratic nominee for mayor, and ques- tioned him on several points regarding his views as,to 8 proper administration of the city affairs.
 .'Being the nominee of party have no platform ofmy own" said MT. Warnock. CT supposeif the democracy of the city thought it necessary to promulgate formal platform they would do so, and l accepted the nomination with a, determination to act as democratic official should, carry out every pledge made by the party.'
 "What are your views as to the water works propositionY
 'tIt is well known that the present city administration, for whose acts am h no way responsible, has agreed with the wa ter works com pany to buy their property at a fixed price, provided power to do so IS granted them by the state legislature. This administration goes out of office one day after the city election, and unless they close the trade under legislative authority the incoming mayor and aldermen are in no wise bound to even entertain the proposi- tion. My honest judgment Is that the city should own and control the water worksJ but 1 would oppose the purchase at price or on terms that would burden the already overburdened people of this city. In other
 
 l am opposed to the purchase of the water works and against the ratification of the contract made by the mayor and aldermen, or any other contract. without having first been voted upon by the people.'
 Much has been said about the mayor not giving all his time to the duties of the of- flee. What are your views on that point and as to general retrenchment|
 "Conditions have changed the past few years. Individuals are retrenching and economizing. Governments should do likewise. If elected mayor shall devote my entire time to the duties of the office, and shall do all in my power to retrench by a consolidation of offices and by giving diligent attention to detail work in all de- partments of the city government, and de- manding like attention from subordinate officials.'' ss
 "What of the sehools?''
 'The people of Birmingham are proud-of our public schools, and they should receive the fostering care and encouragement of any administration that may obtain con- trol of the city. Some means should be applied for continuance of the present school appropriations ! !
 "There is hard work ahead of any mayor and aldermen that may take hold,' said MT. Warnock, "but good go;erH Eieht and the preservation of the clty's credit can and must be mafntained. am free to hi1- init ,tdat this can only be done by an ex- ~ercise of the most rigid economy.'
 Upon being asked as to the prospects Of the democratic ticket, MT. Warnock said:
 'sI have nothing to fear. Our ticket will win. We are going to have fair election, and desire that each candidate shall have representatives at each ballot box"

 Eat your bread and spin your thread.

 Then they just pop them into the Ganges to float down the river among the lotus 6owers. At least this used to be the GUS. tom before western civilization began to penetrate the orient.
