NORW WOOD PLACE IS
 BECOMING POPULAR
MANY HANDSOME RESIDENCES HAVE ALREADY BEEN ERECTED IN THIS SECTION OF THE NORTH HIGHLANDS.

Norwood Place, a new section of the North Highlands, promises to be one of the most beautiful residence districts of Birmingham. Its beginning at Twenty seventh street and Twelfth avenue and its eastern limits at Thirty-second street are marked by stone columns, similar to those which mark the limits of Cullom Place.
 Nature has been partial to that section of the city. The lots on either side of the street are well elevated and large shade trees add to the beauty. Norwood is on the top of a beautiful hill, and in the summer months is delightfully."- cool. It is absolutely free from dirt and smoke. The sidewalks are we'll paved and the streets are graded and guttered in the most ap- proved style.
 Many handsome residences have been erected. and a large number are under course of construction. Before a lot can be purchased in this section the buyer must agree to build a house that will cost not less than certain amount, thus pre- venting any cheap structures from go- ing up. The place is reached b. the Twelfth avenue car line, and is within q twelve minutes ride of the heart of the city.
 S. P. Moore, R. A. Porter, G. M. Porter and S. c. Wilson have let contracts for the construction of residences. and many other houses are being planned.
 The avenue is a beautlfn driveway and is frequented by many vehicles.

REPUBLIC COMPANY OFFERS 471-2 CTS. Notices Posted at Mines Which
 Cause Comment OPERATORS TO TAKE IT UP Price Offered Is the Same as That Demanded By the Miners Ex
 cept That It Does Not Rec
 ognize the Union.
 
OPERATORS TO TAKE IT UP

Notices were posted at the mines of the Republic Iron and Steel company yesterday offering to pay 4715 cents a ton for mining coal, without discrimination between union and non-union men. This is the minimum price demanded by the United Mine Workers, but the posted notices do not include a recognition of the union.
 Just what effect the posting of these notices by the Republic company will have on the other furnace operating com- panies is not known. but it Is very likely that an informal meeting of the operators phase of the situation, and it in possible that some action will be taken.
 Ef.,ct on Other Companies.
 50 far as l know the action of the Republic company will not have any er- feet on the other companies" said Presi- dent Maben, of the Sloss company, last night We have had no meeting to dis cuss the matter, and l can't say exactly what will be done At present do not believe 1t will effect the other companies, and I do not attach any serious import ance to the Republic notices.
 You can say that most of the men who joined the strikers at Brookside yesterday, said MT. Maben, "have come back to the mines and have gone to work. Our output yesterday was larger than on any day since the strike began, and we are accommodating a little sur plus. As our output increases we will in crease the number of our coke ovens. We are expecting a larger output to- morrow than was reported today"
 Mr. Hassnger Returns.
 MT. Hassinger, vice-president of the Repblic company. has returned from Chi cago, where he attended a meeting of his directors. Last night he confirmed the report that notices had been posted offering 471z cents a ton. He said that he did not know what ths other operators would do but that the Republic com pany was willing to pay that price.
 President Flynn, of the United Mine Workers attended a large meeting of miners at Coal City yesterday, and re- ports everything there satisfactory to the union. He says the men are unanimous in their decision to stick to the demands of the union, and so expressed them selves In a vote yesterday

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
Ex-Chief Mcdonald Opposes Putting
 Heads of Departments on Ticket.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I see from the Age Herald of September that the city executive committee held a caucus last night in the rooms of White & Sons. 1t seems to have been the unanl- nous opinion of the committeeman pres ent that the heads of the different depart ments should be placed on the tickets and voted for in the primary. I think this proceeding would be outrageous.
 Without intending 1t, the committee would seem to be working Into the hands of the grafters and ward-healers. A man desiring any one of these offices will have to spend several hundred dollars of his small salary to secure 1t. After election he Is not responsible to the people but to the board of aldermen or police com mission. and while conducting his business according to law and the views of the people, the board of aldermen or police commission, as the case might be, could remove him from office if they saw fit.
 If the present charter does not suit the city executive committee, they should go to the legislature and have 1t amended, so that these offices will be filled by vote of the people and the officials will be re- sponsible to the people and not to the boards.
 It is wrong to hold these boards respon- sible for the acts of officials whom they are not allowed to select.
 think the committeeman will make a mistake if they call an early primary, as the presidential, state and county elec- tons are on hand, and there are not fifty men besides the candidates who care for an early primary.

BIRMINGHAM GETS
 ITS FIRST COTTON
w. L. BUFFoRD BRINGS BALE TO
 TOWN, FOR WHICH HE GETS
 12s4 CENTS A PouNp-HooD, YIELDING 6 co. THE BUYERS.

The first bale of cotton received on the Birmingham market this season was sold yesterday by W. L. Bufford. It was rais- ed by MT. Bufford on his plantation near Powderly Hood, Yielding & Co. were the purchasers, and the price paid was 12& cents per pound. The bale was full weight, tipping the scales at 510 pounds. The sehson is a few days later than last year. The price paid was about cents above the market quotations.
 Quite lot of cotton Is handled by the Birmingham buyers each year. The pro- duct handled in Birmingham in the sea- son of 1sOS-o4, just closed, was approxi- mately 65,000 bales. Conservative esti- mates place the crop to be handled this season at 75,0O0 bales.
 Indications are that large crop will be raised. -Four or five weeks ago." said prominent cotton dealer, pros poets for cotton were the finest in many years. In the past month the crop has deteriorated considerably. Too much rain has fallen in some sections while the crop in other parts of the country is suffering from the effects of drouth. Even with the marked deterioration which has taken place the present outlook points to more than an average crop. The chances are favorable for the farmers to sell their cotton for good price though I do not think the staple will go to the dizzy points 1t reached during the season of 19O3-O4'
