Instead, suppose he had fatty refused

If they had shown unwillingness to go
away without seeing him, suppose he and
his cabinet had given Major Sylvester
carte blanche to drive them away by
force, and the police, reinforced by the
hooligans, had for hours beaten the wom-
en-, twisted their arms, taken improper
personal liberties with them, tossed them
about like footballs, and knocked them
down and kicked them. Suppose that the
cabinet, when urged to order an investi-
cation of these outrages, had fatty re-

suggestion worthy to print-for it is good.

Opinions differ as to results from Mrs.
Pankhursts visit to the United States.
One writer in a suffrage journal states
that in a few days Mrs. Pankhurst will
sail for England. She has raised SO much
money in America that some of our ardent
suffragists feel unhappy about 1t. In
most cases this is not because they are
afraid the money will go to pay for mill
tant actions, for all we'll informed suffra-
Slsts know that the great bulk of the
work carried on by Mrs. Pankhursts
society is peaceful 1t is because they
think this money should have been used
for suffrage work here at home, where
1t Is badly needed. Undoubtedly, some
money was given to Mrs. Pankhurst that
would otherwise have been given for the
work here; but the main part came from
the gate receipts, and was paid by people
who went out of curiosity. They went to
scoff, but remained to pray. Not only

One golden November day during the

full chrysanthemum display at Mr.. Hugh
Seals greenhouses, at Scales station, on
the South Bessemer car line.
Such a sight as 1 saw you couldn't pos
sibly imagine unless you went and got

1t is a trip we'll worth making, for few
people realize that right here In Bir-
mingham we have such a marvellous floral
market and that such wonders can be ac-
complished with flowers as this clever,
talented man has done.

1t may be remarked that the Scales

series at Colmant station, West End, a
tract of 12s acres of land in Shelby county,
which they are fitting up as model nur-
sery, Mr.. Oscar Colmant being in charge,
while Mr.. Lucius Colmant remains at the
Colmant nurseries here, and Mr.. John

The Messrs Colmant inherit their splen-
did talent for the nursery business and
have grown up in 1t. and the many beau
tiful specimens of landscape gardening
that they have done in Birmingham is
living monument to their skill and ingen-
uity in this line.
Mr.. Scales is perhaps one of the
best informed florists in all the south
land
He has made a study of flowers since he
was a boy, and he loves them and the
cultivation Of them as few people do, and
he has to his credit an enviable record
as a successful man in his profession.
