Birmingham, Nov. 7-(Special)- Concerted action Is about to be given in the Birmingham District. looking to more extensive and cheaper supply of water for manufacturing purposes. and the indications point to a water works system with the Warrior River.
 Industrial companies in this district are interested in the movement and the assertion is made that as soon as the system has been started on and there is a belief that 1t will be carried through some very extensive develop ments will be undertaken. The Ten- nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company has asked the North Birmingham peo- pie, including the city officials of the place, If it is their Intention of build ing the proposed water system, and what will be charged for & reasonable by the 18th inst, the inference being that If the North Birmingham people do not intend building the plant In the near future, the Tennessee Company might take up the proposition itself.
 Some time ago steps were taken looking to a bond issue of $5,000,O00 in North Birmingham for the construc- tion of a water works system that would bring a bountiful supply of wa ter to the Birmingham district. The election was held and favorable ma jority secured A petition in the courts enjoined further proceedings, and there the plan has stopped. The pro- motors of the plan are becoming active again and have hopes of being able to

Birmingham Wants More
 Extensiue Water Supply

remove the enjoining petition in order that some steps can be taken again looking to the actual construction. The Birmingham water works company is building an immense dam in the northeastern part of the county in the Cahaba River watershed This dam will form a big lake which. 1t is be- lieved. will provide all the water that will be necessary either for domestic or manufacturing purposes. At the rate that the district is growing and the prospects of additional manufac- turning industries, 1t Is believed that complete new water system would not certain that if the people or town of North Birmingham does not build the system the big industrial corporations will.
 It Is semi -authoritative1y announced that as soon as the new water system Is started on, whether by the town or by a corporation. that several indus tries which consume large quantities of water will make effort to secure suitable sites in this district.
 There are some advocates In Birm- ingham Of the municipal ownership of water works. and are working hard to get the city proper to take hold of the proposition and build another water works system for the city and the dis trict both. In industrial circles this proposition is one of great magni- tude. and officials of the corporation state that happy consummation of the matter will mean much for this sec tion.

BULGARIA. AND TURKEY.
Experts Figure On The Outcome of
 War


 Paris, Nov. 7-It was generally thought that. as the Bulgarians had long been preparing for war, the Turks would have had no chance against them. But Colonel Djemal Bey and pr. Nazim. who have already been mentioned as having come to Paris as delegates of the Salonfka Committee of Union and Progress. put the question in a very different light. and their argument is interesting.
 They declare that, in their opinion. Bulgaria has been playing game of bluff, as she Is well aware that she is no match for Turkey. By the time that Bulgaria would have brought her forces to the frontier Turkey would have had at Adrianople an army Of 22o,0oO men, with 575 guns, and on the Macedonian border an army of 200, 900 men. with 450 guns, these two forces being composed of the first threa army corps. The fourth army corps and the fifth could have been transported to Europe from Asia Minor within a month, and 6o,000 men landed at Varna or Bourgas. The Bulgarians would only have been able to send nine divisions. about 100000 men, to the frontier. with $50 guns. to oppose a Turkish army of 42o.o00 men as their boast that they can put 3S0,- 900 men into the field is preposteTous.
 So Bulgaria, as the delegates con tend, would have had no chance against Turkey.

New York, Nov. 7.-with all differ ences of the closed campaign forgot ten, every man in this metropolis Is to- day enlisted in the longest, strongest and most united pull for prosperity that has ever been undertaken In the history of Gotham.
 clear, bright atmosphere now sur rounds the commercial and financial headquarters of this little island, where the clouds of panic and politics have obscured the sun for over a year. To- day more of enterprise, undertaking and expansion Is being considered throughout the business districts here than has ever been dreamed of since the summer before last. Orders con- tracts and even bids for employees have already begun to crop out thick in the great counting houses of town while the wires are being kept hot with the prelimInaries of business extension that will reach every section of the land. With the ending of election un- certainty, 1t Is evident here today, has come finish to all commercial doubts and halts.
 Social Struggles.
 With the body of Mrs. Astor scarce ly laid in it's simple tomb the struggle for supremacy as successor to the wo- man who ruled society here for thirty "S NOA0y UCS AO uPAAOAO the claims of Mrs. John Jacob Astor to social leadership the adherents of the Astors are already proclaiming that the toRa of the deceased was bestowed upon her daughter-in-law together with the family jewels
 Though the cause of this fair heir. apparent Is today gaining strength among the swells on account of the prostration of Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, who is said to be recovering from an operation at her country seat, the op- position has today begun to gather its clans for warfare. Between these two rivals for the throne a merry war will be waged throughout the season, 1t is assured. The youth and heritage of the wife of Colonel Astor will be pitt ted against the wit and social charm of the older Mrs. Fish, whose preten- sions to the leaders seat became quite marked even before Mrs. Astor died Whatever the outcome, the New York public will be more amused than real Iy interested.
 Child Campaign.
 On the heels of the returns from the election of the nation there were re- ceived here today accounts of a cam paign no less important to the hum dreds of youngsters who are strug- gling for better things in the George Junior Republics in this State, Cali fornla, Maryland and Connecticut. Par ties, platforms and policies have been worked out and tested at the polls by the young citizens of this new nation, whose parent colony up In Tompkins County has for years proved this form of child self-government a practical

Romery from open ground that were really superior to any hothouse grown flowers anywhere and some varietles were among those pronounced impos- abilities. To enumerate all would re- quire too much space. but above all l place the Queen of Roses, the Amerl- can Beauty, not only for the size or us flower and length of stem. but TOT pril- fancy of color and fragrance it IS un- surpassed. The Bride and Briaeshalu the three Cochets and other old anu tried varieties are beautiful and won aerfuIly prolific of bloom. It is mis- take to try to grow too many sorts. IL is better to have a fine vase of one kind than an assorted bunch of all col- ors and by all means do not De ms led by a desire to get every new and untried variety temptingly offered at fabulous prices which may after all be unsuited to your location.
 It Is equally unwlse to buy small, cheap plants. In order to sell cheap they are propogated rapidly from un- selected wood, cut indscriminately from plants grown under high pressure methods. If strong plants from one to two years old are used immediate results may be expected, and the diff ference in quality and quantity of flow CTS will far surpass the difference in price. Very few roses cost over 20 cents each so why purchase plant for 10 cents and wait and nurse your infant plant a year for Is cents? Bet ter one good. vigorous plant than a dozen weddings.
 Lastly, let me repeat. above all things dig deeply before planting, fertilize heavily and water freely. Plant in beds or groups where other plants will not interfere and where the roses will receive the direct rays of the sun. By so doing the best results will be ob- tained at less cost than by any other method.
 The treatment of climbing roses will be considered In a later article.

OUR ROSE PROWESS
MONTGOMERY TAKES THE FLORAL
 PALM.
Declared by wm. c. Cook That In 104 Cities Visited This Has Most Beautiful and Magnia-
 cent Roses.

Tn the following article the well known landscape artist. William c. Cook, praises Montgomery for the splendor of her natural rose growth and gives valuable pointers for rose culture in generals:
 "Of all the 1o4 cities of the United States which I have visited I must. in all honesty. give the palm to Mont gomery for the beautiful assortment and magnificent growth of roses.
 With very few exceptions all are success notably the Tea Hybrid Tea and Bourbon Sections, which are the favorites on account of their qualities as continuous and prolific bloomers. However, these beautiful southern roses may be greatly improved by su- perlor culture. Catalog directions are good in the place of distribution, but on a different soil and in a different climate they assume another character.
 The rose is an enormous feeder and requires almost constant attention in the matter of fertilizing and pruning. The soil should be heavy. thoroughly incorporated with manure from the dairies and at least two feet deep. Three feet is better Mix the soil thor oughly. puIverizlng all clods and Jumps. plant firmly and water thor oughly. During the long hot summer a mulch of strawey manure or spent hops is needed to prevent the sun from burning the surface roots and baking the outer soil to a hard crust.
 By the term thorough watering. I mean a heavy irrigation. Sprinkling in this climate is worse than useless. Lay the hose near the plants on small piece of board, to prevent wash ing of the soil, turn the water on just enough to run without any great amount of pressure and let the hose stay in one place not less than quar- ter of an hour--longer would be bet fer. Do this every week when there is no rain and you will be well rewarded with beautiful blooms
 slight addition of bone meal once a month will give soIidity and size to the flowers, say a handful to a three year plant, we'll worked in the soil with the hands or a small implement that does not penetrate farther than one and half or two inches. Never at any time allow the soil to become hard and dry
 Winter pruning should be done about January or February before spring growth starts, never before this time. All dead wood and about half of the growth should be removed. The plants sh ould be staked and tied firmly to prevent the wind from injuring the young growth. If fine flowers, quality rather than quantity, is desired, remove all buds but one to each branch and when cutting do not be afraid to get a good stem. Plants cut back to three or four eyes (buds) produce young, vigorous growth which alone can give superior flowers.

elders is the simple scheme of their broadening work, they say.
 ChrAstmas Cheer.
 Though Christmastide is still half a success. With even more earnestness than their elders in the outside repub- lie these boys. and girls have cam paigned voted and finally established administrations of their own by which they must abide until their election day next year.
 Far beyond the lifetime of Daddy Gorge, who proved his idea by the or iEihAl junior republic in which New Workers have taken pride for fourteen years, this plan for letting wayward boys and girls reclaim themselves will extend ana develop, the leaders in the movement here declared today. To give these younger citizens a chance to struggle nearer perfection of them selves by the same process as their dozen weeks ahead. the season of shopping for its presents is opening hers today. No earlier start of this great buying carnival of the year has ever been made In Gotham.
 Already the shopping districts are becoming Jammed with unusuai' lines of smart turn-outs, cabs and street cars overfio wing with persistent pur- ehasers. Windows, counters and
 
 every store, while delivery wagons are doing double duty, crammed to the roof with parcels. The cheer of Christi mas IS always welcomed In the busy whirl of this city, but this year the confidence that Is being betokened by it's approach is giving an added exhil- aration to the season. In the early rush to the holiday shops observers see today sure sign of the happiest of holidays.
 Parkhurst's Place.
 No one has today been brought forth who will fill the rather uncomfortable position which pr. Parkhurst has just vacated here as head of the local So- oiety for the Prevention of Crime. For years the good minister has been wor- ried by the notoriety and nuisance of speaking for the vice hunters whose spectacular activities twenty years ago brought him so singularly before the public Today it Is said that the rap- idly aging Parkhurst will devote his whole time and attention to the church where he has ministered for a genera tion to large flock of fashionable New Workers.
 Whether another divine can be found to attempt the leadership of the crime eurbers is very probIematic at pres ent.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT.
Interesting Decision Affecting Election
 of U. s. Senators.

interesting Decision ARectIng Election
 of U. s. Senators.
 Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Fundamental principle, perfectly clear but often overlooked. Is express ed in the decisions of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, that members of the legislature cannot be compelled to vote for the candidate for United states Senator named at a primary election. The election of a Senator is a duty committed to the legislature by the Constitution of the United States and by the constitution of the State. No mere act of assembly can substi- tute another method of election, or coerce the members of the legislature in the performance of their constitu- tional function.
 This is just as true in every State as in North Dakota. It is also tust aE important to be remembered in these days of shortcut reforms" It is the right of all the people to alter their form of government if they will, but as long as we elect to live under a constitutional form our security lies in conforming to it's requirements. We elect representatives to whom are committed certain specified duties. If we cannot trust their discretion we should elect others whom we can trust. We cannot bind them by extraconsti- tutional instructions.
 Any member of a legislature will naturally pay heed to the expressed preferences of his own constituents or of a majority of lne people of the whole State. As far as this imposes an obligation. it Is moral. not legal. It rests with his Individual conscience and Judgment, under his official oath. to determine how far any prediction pledges" shall bind his action. They Ina ou him n cess of law. Under a representative government there is no new fangle5 devices by which the people can re- leve themselves of the necessity oi making choice of it persons to repre- sent them

 dollars are gradually going out of use 7 in the West and the South, and that their place is being taken by dollar bills. A few years ago it was a rare thing to see a dollar bill west of the Mississippi river. while in the South silver dollars were far more plentiful than the soft money. It seems that the doom of the silver dollar was sounded when the government decided that 1t would no longer pay the freight between subtreasurles and banks on the coins.
