He became Phelps own pupil, a privilege and opportunity which Forbes-RobertsOn ever gratefully ac- knOwledges. Phelps was the greatest actor of his time. Some critics have even called him the greatest of all English actors. With Phelps the young actor had the opportunity of playing every sort of part Those were the days of the stock company, and, de spite some of it's very obvious faults, Forbes Robertson regards it as the best school for young actors.

Her Juliet, Forbes Robertson says, has never been surpassed by any actress.
 After playing Romeo in Wilson Bar rett's production of Romeo and Juliet" he joined Henry Irving at the Lyceum in 1882, appearing as Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing" Another engage ment with the Bancrofts followed. dur ing which he acted numerous and va riOus roles. Co

 The exact situation near the Greek bor- der where the Anglo-French forces and the Servians are opposing the Bulgarians, is not known. but unofficial reports have it that the French have occupied Strum- itza and advanced about % miles into Bulgarian territory. The Bulgarians, on the other hand. are said to have recap tured yeles, on the railroad south of Uskup, from the Servians.

CAMP PA|GN FOR BOND
 ISSUE SOON BEGINS
Only Reputable Business Men Will Handle the
 Fight for Issue

Montgomery, October 2s.-(specialA ] Only reputable business men and bank CTS will be selected to manage the bond issue campaign, according to an an nouneement made this afternoon by Gov ernor Henderson. The executive an nounced that the campaign would be well under way within the next few days and he spoke confidently of it's success.
 In the opinion of the governor, the rati- fication of the bond issue is simply a business proposition. whereby the state may pay it's outstanding obligations Hence, the campaign to be conducted will be along educational lines. and will be under the management of practical bankers and business men.
 We have been borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, and sooRer or later we must pay Peter was the terse way in which the governor referred to the states finan- cial difficulties.
 It may appear to some people that we have large sum of money in the treas ufy, but when we owe a larger sum the state is not sound financially. No matter how much money a business concern may have on hand it is not well off financially If 1t owes greater sum- he con- cluded
 The governor expressed extreme conf- dence that the people of the state would ratify the bond issue of $l,500,0Oo at the election in January. and declared his be- lief that when the people realize that this large sum is to be used for paying old debts they will cheerfully support the amendment.

 up and say that the jewelry business has
 improved greatly of late he is an opti-
 mist. Beyond all doubt, things are brighter in the Birmingham district than
 they have been for the past five years. The future prospects seem to be full of pure, unadulterated prosperity
 People are paying their debts buy ing what they want and making money right along There Is no more inspiring sight than to look over the Birmingham district at night and watch the big blast furnaces belch forth great volumes of lurid flames and black smoke. For every spout of smoke that goes slyward more dollars are put in circulation in this dis trict. Prosperity is here to stay and everyone knows 1t. When you see all the people working and believing in them- selves it is time to get out the bugle and blow hard for good times Most of those who have been crying hard times l for the past year are the class of folks who have never experienced any cut in | salary but are prone to take advantage l of the gossip of few stragglers who say that times are not good.'
