ENSLEY PLANS ID
 HAVE MORE WATER
Board of Trade Will Consider
 Several Proposals
LARGE INCREASE NEEDED
City May Issue $too,ooo Worth of Bonds and Build Its Own Plant to Supply the New
 Industries.

Ensley, April 2s.-(Special)-T Ems | ley board of trade was scheduled to have a called meeting this afternoon in the city hall but on account of the visit of the educators to the Steel City the meeting was postponed to tomorrow af- ternoon at o'clock, when some steps will be taken regarding an increased water supply.
 After about ten days of frultess ef- fort to clear the old well, situated on the property of the Ensley Land com pan on Seventeenth street, between Ave- nues II and I, the work was stopped yesterday and the scheme to draw water from this source was abandoned. It was found impossible to clear the shaft of the old iron and other obstructions that fill- ed it and there was not enough water in reach to make the well of any value. The pump was put to work today and water pumped out for an hour or two at a rate of 50 gallons minute, but the test was so unsatisfactory that it was decided to permanently abandon the project, and devise some other way to relieve the threatened water famine in the Steel City
 George Boss and a force of men have worked diligently to get the shaft of the well clear so that a satisfactory test could be made, but although the drill was supplanted by dynamite their efforts were futile and no substantial progress was made The well has a Pinch shaft and was at one time capable of pro- ducing an abundant flow of water.

Pratt City April 27.-(Special.)--The fight for the office of postmaster at Pratt City has already begun, although the term of the encumbent Postmaster A. J. Prince does not expire for about year. A number of prominent republicans are working for the appointment
 Postmaster Prince has already served three terms and will probably try for re- appointment if President Roosevelt is elected He has made a capable officer and it is conceded that he will be hard man to defeat.
 A number of prominent citizens are re- ported to be working for the place, and among those mentioned as a probable sue cessor to MT. Prince is J. II. Thomas, q mine foreman and prominent politician. MT. Thomas made the race once before when Postmaster Prince was re-appointed for the third time. He is said to be a strong man for the place.
 There are also several others who have not declared their intentions in the mat ter but are regarded as candidates. Alto gether the race for the postmastership of Pratt City promises to be exceedingly lively about one year hence.
 The Pratt City postoffice belongs to the third class, and does d large annual business

 ton, is well drained, has excellent water and enjoys good health There are now nine stores in the place, and more are in course of erection. Some time ago Childersburg suffered disastrous losses by fire in the business center of the town but the merchants have rebuilt and re- plenished their stocks.
 For many years this was what is gen. erally called a dry town but of late a public dispensary has been established. and this seems to be giving general satis- faction.
 The town has a small tax rate, and Mayor J. J. Elliott, the incumbent. seems to be giving the people a satisfactory administration of public affairs. The Chil- dersburg high school, with an enrolment of about 110. is free only five months or the year. but Prof w G. Mcleod, the ef- ficent superintendent In charge expresses a hope that the city government will soon take hold of the institution in a finan- ciaI way, and from the "dispensary and general fund make it really a free school for the full term.
 It is thought really that the proceeds from the ''dispensaryn will fully pay all the expenses of the school. At present the city is doing practically nothing for the institution.
 lndustriously at Work. The merchants here inform the writer that the planters around Childersberg much improved their condition last year and are now less in debt than at any time for years past. They are industri- ously at work, and as elsewhere in the state are increasing acreage and diversi- flying their crops
 Fruit culture does not receive much att tention as yet, but peaches, apples, pears and plums flourish here. These only need industrious care.
 Childersberg ships quite a quantity Of poultry and eggs every years put tris industry is only a "side line" for the farmers as yet They will some day learn of it's value and no doubt double their energies along this line.
 Childersberg has several churches ana many neat and comfortable houses. Ihe town seems to possess the basis Tor growth and development, and especially to present special invitation to manu- featuring enterprises.

Several Plans Considered.

Several Plans Considered.
 It is reported that the city has several plans under consideration to secure an increased water supply. One of them is to issue S100, ,000 worth of bonds which will be used to construct a city pumping sta- ton and lay mains to Five Mile creek, which is about six miles distant from Ensley. It is said that the sum of $l0O,O00 would completely equip q water plant which would furnish the city with 150o0. 900 gallons daily. If this plan is carried out it will mean that the Steel City will have her own water works and will be independent of the Birmingham Water company.
 Another plan is to utilize the flow from Hawkins spring, which is located about three miles southeast of Ensley. This spring is owned by Maurice Adler and as sociates, who have already endeavored to make a deal with Bessemer for supply ing the city with water, and it is reported that a satisfactory agreement could be made by which Ensley could draw her water from this source at about the same cost as that of laying pipes to Five Mile creek. Both these plans and others Will be considered by the board of trade at their meeting tomorrow afternoon.
 The question of an increased water sup ply has become of vital importance to Ensley people, as it is recognized that new manufacturing industries cannot be secured unless there is more water. The question is a topic of general conversation in the Steel City, and the action of the board of trade will be awaited with more than usual interest.
 Educators Visit Steel City.
 About 200 delegates to the educational conference at Birmingham paid the Steel City a visit this afternoon and made an inspection of the big manufacturing plants located here. The party arrived at 330 o'clock in a special train of six cars, furnished by the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company and were met by committee of prominent citizens who conducted them out to the steel plant. The visitors were shown all through the big plant and watched the making of steel rails with much in- terest.
 Aftersgoing through all departments of the steel plant the visitors returned to town and took the cars for Birmingham at 6 o'clock. The unusual crowd gave the streets quite lively appearance. The visitors were shown every courtesy by the citizens of Ensley.
 The committee of citizens who did the honors of the occasion were: Superintend- ent Bowen of the city schools, Mayor Scott Judge Mandy. George Byrum, w. w. ShOrtrtdge, j. M. Donaldson, J r. Appling and others. The success of the trip to the steel plant was largely due to Professor Bowen, who obtained passes for all the visitors.
 Ensley a Model City.
 As a result of the excellent work done by Chief Camp and members of the Ems ley police force, the town has become one of the most orderly in the country de- spite the fact that the manufacturing plants here attract foreigners and wan derers from all parts of the globe. Ems ley has a population that is cosmopolitan to a degree and yet the police records show that the best of order prevails and there are few violations of the law.

Machinist Makes Automobile.

George Burk, master maehinist em- plcyed in the steel plant of the Tennes- see company, has just finished an auto mobile, every part of which he made him self in his leisure hours. Mir Burk has been working on the automobile Tor seN- eral months, and it is practical ma chine and when finished will be complete in every detail.
 MT. Burk had his automombile out on the streets today where it was exhibited to a large crowd of admiring citizens. The auto has gasoline engine which was made by MT. Burk and is equipped for making a high rate of speed. Every part of the machine is home made and is most ingeniously contrived.

As a result of the excellent work done by Chief Camp and members of the Ems ley police force, the town has become one of the most orderly in the country, de- spite the fact that the manufacturing plants here attract foreigners and wan derers from all parts of the globe. Ems ley has a population that is cosmopolitan to a degree and yet the police records show that the best of order prevails and there are few violations of the law.
 The police have been active in routing out vagrants, so that a vagrancy case in police court has now become a rarity. All the negro women who were without employment have been put to work or made to leave town and the negro popu- lation of Ensley has greatly improved in character within the past few months.
 There is not a gambling house in town, no cigarettes are on sale, and although there are fourteen saloons the Sunday closing law is vigorously enforced.
 For a town the size of Ensey and pos sessing such varied population the ex- eellent order that prevails Is remarkable and reflects much credit on the present city administration.
 Mrs. Vaughn Dead.

The inter- ment will take place at Oakland ceme- tery tomorrow afternoon and the funeral will be held from the residence Mrs. Vaughan was an estimable woman who had many friends in the Steel City
 Concert a Success.
 The concert given by St. Johns choir at the residence of MT. and Mrs. E. H. Mandy on Avenue F. and Twenty-first street tonight was a most successful af- fair and an excellent programme was rem dered. The concert was given for the benefit of St. Johns church. The fol- lowing persons took part:
