each one must solve 1t fer h.Iself or herself. But however it be solved all should keep before them Dr. sholl's injunction, Boil your water" This injunction is both official and sound. This entire town should be put OH boiled water in order to insure free dom from disease germs.
 This is in fact, a serious matter, and we have no desire to treat itlight- lv. The man who swallows at a gulp a whole cargo of germs is not only en- dangering his own health and life, but he is adding to the general danger. Pending the construction of filtration plants it therefore becomes the part of patriotism and individual safety to boil the drinking water at home, and to demand such water in all public places-in the restaurants, hotels, bar Der shops, and at the soft drink coun- ters. Beware of unboiled water eve~y- where. It is the part of safety, and Dr. Sholl has said it.

Automobiles.

Several new automobiles have recent ly made their appearance in Birming- ham, One of the strongest and swiftest is owned by Mr. C. F. Buck, president of the Lacey-Buek Iron Company, whose furnace Is al Trussville. There are now in this city in use fourteen horseless ve- hicles, including the Hillman electric bus This bus, by the way, was the largest in the United States at the time 1t came into service last fall and probably con- tinues to be the largest. A New York bus with load capacity of twelve was recently described in one of the popular veeklies as the biggest thing of it's kind in America. The Hillman's has load capacity of thirty.
 Of the automobiles here two have gaso- line motors, eight use steam and four use electricity. By next fall there will not be less than eight or ten electric car ridges in Birmingham.
 MT. J. M. Lansden, the electrical en- gineer and automobile specialist. predicts that the horseless carriage will be in general use in Birmingham, certainly in commercial lines, within the next two or three years.
 The first electric motor cycle was seen In this city yesterday. It has a speed of over thirty miles an hour. The owner had been travelling through the state on his cycle, but brought it here on train to have it repaired.

Made at the Beqinninq.

The primary mistake In base ball in this town seems to be due to an erroneous estimate of opponents at the outset. A team was organized here that promised to do better work than the home team of last year had done, and 1t was fondly hoped that this would make 1t first division team. But while the home folks were bettering the home team, the other teams in the league were paying strict attention to like tasks, and as the figures now show some of the other teams did better than we did The Southern League is, In other words, playing faster ball than it did last year, and Birmingham did not esti- mate correctly the general improve ment in the league. It underestimated the rest of the league, while comparing itself favorably with its last years record. This is where the primary mistake was made.
 The secondary mistakes of the pres ent season need not be mentioned, for the primary mistaKe covers all. The team has never been a first-dlvision team simply because the other teams wre underestimated. Chattanooga made a like mistake and is endeavor- ing to overcome it. So did Memphis, and it may be that the Shreveport giants fell into like error. No one 1t the outset correctly valued Henley's pitching, or the team work of Little Rock, or the superb skill of Manager Fisher or of Manager Powell.
 Can this primary mistake be over- rome at this stage? This is not so cer-

Piu Iron Production.

The blast furnaces of the country produced in May 1,570,243 tons, but owing to the temporary closing of some Shenango and Mahoning Valley stacks the production on June 1 was somewhat reduced, and the estimated production of this month Is 100000 tons. This it will be observed still points to a production in the year ap- preaching 1S,000000 tons. The week. ly capacity of the 296 stacks in blast on June 1 was 344,74S tons as against a capacity of 352,o64 tons on May 1. The decrease is not material. It is temporary.
 The output of the 31 coke furnaces in Alabama in May was 11S,922 tons. About 45OO tons should be added on account of three charcoal furnaces in the State, making total production in May of about 124,000 tons-a record perhaps that was never exceeded in this State. The shipments in May from this State were 115,833 tons of iron and 12,56o tons of pipe. From Ensley 11.259 tons of steel were also shipped, thus showing that about 13,- 900 more tons of metal were shipped than were produced, saying nothing about the use of iron at home in the manufacture of machinery. Every pound of iron is in fact wanted before it has time to cool. Furnace stocks are now almost nil, scarcely exceed ing days consumption.

tain. The local managers are willing to do all they can find to do. but in mid-season it is not easy to find men who will fit all places. The home managers frankly confess that this is frst-divlsion town, and it is entitled to a flrst-division team, but it is much easier to say this than it is to secure it. Who, In other words, can name players Of known skin who are un- signed? All signed players must first secure releases. and herein much diff ficulty is met with. tt springs from the primary mistake, but the present week may show that even a primary mistake can be overcome, and the home team may be faced towards the head rather than towards the foot of the list.

Boil the Water.

Until the filtration plants are in stalled Dr. Sholl says, Boil your drink ing water" and Dr. Sholl is our health officer, and he knows what he is talk ing about. He knows what typhoid fever is and various other diseases that spring directly from germ-laden water. He knows the effects of germs in this community, for he is an officer on duty, and a skilled officer at that, and he says, Boil your drinking water"
 The highest duty of the good citizen at present is not only to drink boiled water himself, but to bring such water to the greatest possible number. The task Is not an easy one, and yet its importance demands that it be met everywhere. But if one orders away from home a lemonade, be it plain or colored with claret or other strong drink, how is he to know that the water in it has been boiled? Even in drink of rye whisky or other juice of the corn made in moonlight a dash of water goes, and who is there to say that it is boiled water? And so if one lunches down town or in another town, he may all at once and un- awares become filled with disease germs. The problem is difficult one, but 1t Is an individual problem. and

COMMITTEES OPPORTUNITY.

From the Carrolton West Alabamian.
 The state committee, we trust, will con- vene as soon as practicable and order a state primary, throwing around it every shield and restriction so that 1t matters not how many candidates there may be. all will feel assured that they will bo treated with the utmost fairness At this opportune time the committee has the opportunity of making for itself a last ing friendship among the great masses of the people, or will go out of authority condemned, as 1t were, by an outraged populace

IRNIINGHAM is growing phe- IoJ nomenally. There is more doing lo0 and more in prospect here to- e--- day than in any other town in the South, and in proportion to it's pres ent population. more than any city in America.
 The seaboard Air Line railroad, which is to be built into Birmingham immedi- ately, l am told, has acquired more than a quarter of a million dollars worth of property within the city limits of Birm- ingham for freight depots and terminals l am also told that the Southern Rail- way has recently acquired, or has pre- pared to purchase something like s2oo,- eco worth of real estate to add to It's pres ent terminal facilities.
 The Frisco people are likewise appre- eiating the value of Birmingham as a freight producing point and are eNtend- ing materially and rapidly. They bought the Belt Line and four full blocks of property extending along Avenue A from Fourteenth street to eighteenth street, paying for all something like S6500o0. I understand they are likewise in the mar ket for quite a quantity of property on the Northside to aud to their present yard room and depot site.
 Again, vice-Presldent Winchell of the Frisco is aiding the American Car and Foundry Company people to get 100 acres for a site in or about Birmingham on which to erect great shops for the build ing of cars complete. They want to put in a shop here with a capacity of 40 cars a day, and they are anxious to begin work on it at once.
 am likewise told that some Of those formerly connected with the Tennessee Company, and others associated with

Business c. o'a Theory.

with such men, says the Mobile Herald, "as Hill, Olney and Cleveland again in the forefront of battle, we shall have every reason to hope for victory in 1904 They will bring back to the party not only thousands of Democratic voters, put also thousands of independent voters. It would be well if MT. Olney were invited to sneak in other cities of the South be- sides Memphis"
 This is all very well, provided any one of them can carry his own State. There has been altogether too much sentiment. too much devotion, If you please, to fixed standards in the Dem ocratic party, and the time has come when the Democrats should not only get together, but get down to busi- ness. If either MT. Hill, MT. Olney or MT. Cleveland can carry his own State he should be considered as one fin the forefront of battle," but If MT. Hill, for example, cannot or will not show beyond controversy that he can carry New York, or MT. Olney Massachu- setts. or MT. Cleveland New Jersey then they should be ruled out. They should stay where they are-in pri- vate life.
 No man can secure a Republican nomination who cannot carry his own State. The entire history of that par ty since the war does not disclose a single departure from this rule, and the Democratic party should adopt a like rule. No man is entitled to nom- ination at the hands of great party who is weak at home. MT. Cleveland cannot carry New Jersey, neither can MT. Olney carry Massachusetts, and if MT. Hill can carry New York he should make the fact plain by becom- ing the standard-Dearer of his party in that State this fall. The man who can defeat Governor Odell this fall is entitled to the Democratic nomina- tion. Can David Bennett Hill do it?
 This is business, and it is high time the Democratic party adopted practi- cal methods. The names suggested by the Herald should be supplanted this fall by the names of men who have carried their own States. No man who lacks popular support at home should receive the Democratic nomination in 1904. He should not ask it, and if he does he should be told to go back and first mend his home fences,

Activity in Politics.

Said a keen party man al the Metropoi- itan: Birmingham apparently mas httle knowledge of the fact that politics in Ala bana is reaching the boiling point. Yet this city is the Mecca for Alabama poli- ticians. Unlike any other Alabama town Birmingham pays no more attention 10 a politician than any other of its thou eands of daily visitors Politicians come here and go practically unnoticed, except for the attention they receive from some local fellows who find time during these busy days to take hand at the game.
