 The public schools will be thrown open tomorrow morning and the enrollments are expected to be unusually large The accommodations at the grade schools will be ample in all cases. but the high school will probably have to turn away great many students. Preference will be given to students who reside within the city limits. Residents of the suburbs who went to the high school last year will be given preference over those just entering. but local matricuates will be given prefer ence over ail

BlJou OPENS OCTOBER 5.
Manager Jake Wells Spent Yesterday In mingham-Brieht Outlook.

Jake wells, co-manager with E. E. Williams in the Bijou theatre, was in Birmingham yesterday looking over the theatre and planning for the opening which occurs on October 5. MT. Wells had little to say about the coming sea- son except that the bookings for the house would give the Birmingham thea tregoers the best plays to be had at the Bijou prices.
 There will be musical comedy, melo- dramas, straight dramatic pieces, comic opera and other kinds of plays which the people of Birmingham have shown they appreciate. There will be very lit tie vaudeville.
 MT Wells states that the Bijou Musi- cal Comedy company, strengthened ma terially, will be here during the holi- days and that the majority of the re- mainder of the winter would be spent between Birmingham and Atlanta. There are several new additionns to the com pany, while all the old favorites re- main. Wells has decided not to break the company up. as he was considering at one time. The company Is rehearsing several new plays to put on in the south. It Is at present playing to good business in the Columbia in Brooklyn.
 MT. Wells says that he came to Bir- mingham practically unknown and with predictions rife that he would not last the past past season out, but he did and is here for another season which he be- lleves will be a much better one for ev- eryone concerned than last season.

WORK ON WATER PLANT
 FOR NORTH BIRMINGHAM

It is expected that within ninety days water will be furnished to North Bir- mingham from the new water plant now under construction.
 The new water works are being built by the city independently of any private company, the money having been ob- tained from the sale of $6OO0O worth of bonds which were issued several months ago.
 The engines which will be used to run the pumps will also be large enough to be utilized in running the dynamos for supplying the city with electric lights The poles and wires for the lighting sys- tenn are now being put up and light can be had at about the same time the wa ter works go into operation.
 The source from which North Birming- ham will get water is an immense un- derground stream which runs about L. (

AdVertlSement.J CHARGES MONOPOLY IN SCHOOL BOOKS
LOCAL BOOKSELLERS SAID TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY THE STATE DEPOSITORY HAND LING PUBLIC SCHOOL BOOKS.

Does Birmingham belong to Loveman' Joseph & Loeb? Are her citizens com pelled to purchase school books of a de- partment store? Such seems to be true and it remains to be seen whether this people will submit to such treatment. Un- der the new text book law one state de- pository was to be located in Birmingham. For this there were three applicants, viz: Dewberry & Sons Webb Book company and Loveman, Joseph & Loeb. The last named, Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, were the successful applicants. Dewberry & Sons were strong competitors and at one time had a majority of the publishers pledged to them, and only in accordance with agreement with Loveman, Joseph & Loeb as represented by MT. Joseph. were these publishers released that Love- man, Joseph & Loeb might perfect their arrangements. This agreement involved a division of the privileges and the maxi mum discounts were to be enjoyed by both parties. After getting them out of the way Dewberry & Sons were for over six weeks led to believe that they would he treated fairly and have not only local sales agency for the state books, hit probably all or part of the whole sale business and only on September 5 were informed by Loveman, Joseph 6, Loeb that they themselves proposed to sell all the books and would not appoint any local agents here Being late and so late and near the opening of the schools, Dewberry & Sons. representing them selves, and the Webb Book company. offered to buy a stock of books for the cash and at retail prices. This was de- clined, but they were finally offered binding contract at per cent discount whereas all other local agents were to receive 10 per cent. Much disappointed, hut feeling that per cent was better than none, these two dealers accepted the contracts and are supposed to have the hooks The Webb Book company report that they have few but expect a full stock Monday. Through misunderstand- Ing and a whimsical and childish reason m the part of Loveman. Joseph & Loeb. Dewberry &, Sons have not been supplied with any books at all. They have put in a stock of supplementary and high school hooks and have an immense line of school supplies, and will do all they can to sup n,v their friends and customers. If text hooks were not a necessity 1t would be different, but for any concern to monop- oIize a necessity in the name of the state of Alabama is manifestly wrong.

5OO,0O0 gallons every twentyfour hours. It is located at the quarry of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company, which is practically inside the city. From this stream the water will be pumped to a large reservoir which is being built on Shades mountain. From this the pipes will be built and the water will flow by gravitation to all parts of the city. The reservoir will be about a mile from the source of supply.
 The water from this underground stream is of an unusually fine quality and the supply will be ample for the needs of the city. North Birmingham is primarily an industrial suburb and when the city is able to furnish abundant and cheap water to manufacturers it is felt that the prosperity of the city will be even greater than it has been in the past.

THE REAL ESTAIE MARKET.
Past Week Rather Quiet-Not Dull
 FaII

The real estate market during the past week has shown little increased activity over the past two months. There have been no transfers of business property of any importance. The only real activity of the market has been in residence lots and homes.
 Real estate men do not anticipate that this is to be dull fall, however. In a place as prosperous as Birmingham, in vestors are always looking out for good things and the result is that property changes hands often.
 The present year is unprecedented in the history of the city in the amount of build ing that has been done both of business houses and residences. The improvement of property naturally increases Its value and also the value of adjoining property. and as long as there is any building going on real estate is found to be good in vestment.
