FLOWER AND TREE

Keep begonias where the air is not
too dry, and they will not drop their
leaves.
In watering house plants sufficient
should be given to soak the soil thor
oughly.
a tree is nearly dormant in winter.
especially one that has been lately
transplanted.
Plants in a dormant state require
very little water during the winter.
and an excess viii cause decay.
10 root cuttings quickly NIL a saucer
full of sand. into which the slips may
be set. Keep the sand the consistency
of mud.
Never give up a decaying rosebush
until you have tried watering it two or
three times week with SCOT tea for a
short time.
Reporting of plants becomes neees-
sary for two reasons-the plant uses
up the available fertility in the soil
and fills the pots with roots.
To prevent crotched trees from split
ting after they come into bearing twist
and fasten two small limbs together.
and as the stem grows it will prevent
splitting.
Cuttings OF quick growing herbace-
Gus plants, like heliotrope, yerbena.
phlox, geraniums, root quickly, chrys-
anthemums quickest of all. Choose
cuttings when the plants are most Wig
orous.

| st. Louis Post Dispatch: Secretary
Shaw of the treasury is unique.
Hitherto the secretary of the treas.
ury has been supposed to sit in swivel
chair and thin great thoughts. In
these, it was believed, lay his whole
duty.
But Mr.Shaw gets out and hustles
He inspect; the inspectors. The story
in TIE Sunday Post Dispatch, of his
Goings Oh the American line pier wneu
the St. Paul came in, and afterwards
on the Cunard pier when the Lucania
arrived is dramatic. There is 90 in it.
There is go in it because there was go
in the hero
1t is really gratifying to know that
we have a secretary of the treasury
who cares for something besides high
finance: that the present incumben
really wants to know what the folks
want, what they suffer: and what he
can do to serve them acceptably.
He makes good start, The vulgar
outrAges perpetrated by custom house
inspectators may not interest people
whose interest is exclusively in high
finance. But they are of great interest
to the victims, who compose the bulk
of the travelling public.
Secretary Shaw is eccentric, he is
homely, he is plain. But he is making
a good beginning and if he persists may
live down these plebian disadvantages.

FIXED REUNION DATE
CAMP LoMAx WILL SUGGEST
 NOVEMBER 5 AND 6.
If These Dates are Agreeable to Camp Falkner, Order Will Be Issued to Meet in Mont
 gomery.

At meeting of Camp Lomax United Confederate Veterans, held last night at o'clock in the office of Judge J. B. Full Ter. 1t was decided to suggest to General G. P. Harrison, Commander of the Ala bama Division, United Confederate Vet erans. that the annual reunion of Ala bama Veterans be held in Montgomery on Nov. 5th and 9th.
 Although it is in the power of General Harrison to name the date for holding the reunion, the courtesy was accorded Camp I'omax of suggesting a date that would be most propitious. and the above men- toned dates are to be recommended. It was thought that Nov. 5th and 9th would be the best time for the holding of the reunion, as at this time of the year there will be larger attendance. It was also pointed out that the crops will have been harvested and disposed of and everyone will be in better financial condition.
 committee was appointed by Camp Lomax to confer with committee from Camp Falkner to ascertain whether this date will suit the latter camp. If Camp Falkner endorses the dates selected by Camp Lomax. it will be suggested to Gen eral Harrison that the reunion be held in Montgomery Nov. 5th and 6th
 A committee was appointed by Com- mander Fuller to see Mayor Joseph about holding the meetings of Camp I.omax in the City Council chamber The Council chamber is well ventilated and is fitted with electric fans. If 1t can be obtained, the members of the camp think that it will add great deal to their comfort ani will swell the attendance at the meet ings.
 Commander Fuller also authorized the same committee to investigate and as- certain the cost of constructing a cottage at Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek. and to find out the arrangements and con dltions that would have to be made be- 1ore such a cottage could be built. It is the desire of Camp Lomax to build this cottage at Mountain Creek as monument 10 the Alabama women who have been So loyal to the cause of the Confederacv and to its heroes. This committee con- sists Of Messrs. Walker. Sanguinetti and Folds.

HENRY BARNES IS SELECTED Succeeds Mr. DreySpring on Board of Revenue. NAMED BY THE GOVERNOR He is Successful Farmer and
 Lives at Myrtle. Reported That Retiring Member of the Board Will Take Position
 With a Gotten Oil
 Company.

Henry H. Barnes of Myrtle in Beat s
 was named yesterday morning by Gov ernor Jelks to be member of the Boart of Revenue of Montgomery County tt succeed Adoph T. Dreyspring. The resignation of Mir. Dreysprinl ing mail yesterday and immedia tely upor its receipt the Governor authorized the announcemen nt of the appointment of Mir
 Barnes. In his letter to the Governor Mir. Dreyspring says that increasing de- mands upon his time due to his large business interests has made 1t imperative that he should retire from the Board of Revenue.
 It is understood that Mir. Barnes was not an applicant for the place. In fact applications for membership on the Board of Revenue had been filed. It has been stated for some time that MT. Drey- spring contemplated resigning his place on the Board of Revenue and Governos Jelks had naturally cast about for a man to fill the place.
 According to custom it was expected that the position would go to a citizen living in the section of the county in which Mir. Dreyspring resided. Friends of Mir. Barnes, it Is said. urged his ap- pointment on the Governor, although MT. Barnes, who has never before held a political office. did not apply nor did he go to the capitol to see the Governor.
 The new member of the Board, MT. Barnes. is one of the best known farmers ous and progressive. In connection with his large plantation he conducts gem eral merchandise store at Myrtle. about thirteen miles from Montgomery, where he has a comfortable home which Is known throughout the county for its hos pitality.
 MT Barnes Is a man of fine intelligence. He is d good business man, a success full farmer and has many warm personal friends in Montgomery.
 It is reported that MT. Dreyspring, the retiring member of the Board of Revenue, in addition to his large farming interests. has accepted a position with the South ern Cotton Oil Company and will proba- bly have his headquarters in Union Springs. but his home will remain at Waugh, near Mount Meigs, and he will retain his citizenship in Montgomery County. His home is within d few miles of the residence of MT Barnes.
 MT. Dreyspring was appointed a mcm- Der of the Board of Revenue by Governor Johnston three years ago. The term Of MT. Barnes, who has been called to suc- ceed MT. Dreyspring. will expire one year hence.
 It is expected that MT. Barnes will qualify and sit with the Board of Reve- nue at its meeting next Monday.

BETTER PAY
 FOR CAR MEN Street Railway Company Increases Salaries. MEETING LAST NIGHT MOtOrmen and Conductors are
 the BeneiiciarieS. July 1st Maximum Will Be 121S Cents an Hour Ac-
 cording to Length of
 Service.

As a result of meeting of the officials of the Montgomery Street Railway Com
 pany held last night at the oihce oi | the company on Dexter Avenue the pay Of the motormen and conductors of the Street Railway Company win be increas- ed to become effective July 1.
 Richard Tillis. who recently secured control of the property, was present and conferred with Raphael Semmes. general manager; R. F. Scott. superintendent and other officials of the company. It is nouncement to the officials that in his opinion better service could be assured the company and it's patrons by increas- ing the pay of the men in his employ. This determination on the part of MT. Tillis was purely voluntary and was not brought about by friction among the street railway employees.
 The increase in salaries will be on a sliding scale and will be according to length of service The motormen and conductors are now paid 10 cents per hour. Beginning July 1 the motormen and conductors will be paid Il cents an hour. They will be increased according to length of service with l2 1-2 cents an hour the maximum. After six months service the men will receive II 1-2 cents an hour: after twelve months of service they will be paid F cents an hour and after eighteen months service their pay will be F 1-2 cents an hour.
 It is, of course. believed that the in- creases according to length of ser vice will be an incentive to the men to remain with the company and give the company their best efforts.
 MT. Semmes, the newly elected general manager of the Street Railway Con- pany, has returned from Flornaton where he went to look after a matter concern ing new poles that are to be used by the company in improving the physical con dition of the property.
 It is said that within a few days either MT. Tillis or MT. Semmes will leave for the East to place orders for equipment including new rolling stock for the com pany
 MT. Semmes has already announced that no immediate changes will be made in the personnel of the company em- ployes. F. F. Scott. has assumed his new duties as superintendent and It is understood that John F. Darling, secre- tary of the company. will remain in this capacity.
 The increase il salaries of the motor- men and conductors will mean a large in- crease in the expenditures of the con- pany. but it is expected that this liberal policy will result in greatly improving the service.

AN INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Judge Wing Upholds the steamboa
 Inspectors

Cleveland. O.. June 19.-United State, Judge Wing today refused to issue an injunction restraining steamboat inspec- tors from considering complaint filed against members of the Licensed Tug mems ProtectIce Association by the Great Lakes Towing Company. asking that the licenses of the tugmen be revoked.
 Judge Wing held it was the duty uf inspectors to examine applicants for licenses and that they were also given au- thority to revoke them whenever they found that such licensees had been guilty of misbehavior. negligence or unskilful- ness. The decision is in connection with the tugmen's strike on the lakes and is in favor of the Great Lakes Towing Com pany who will now demand that the strikers licenses be revoked.
