BESSEMER TO GET
 $12,OOO BUILDING
UNDERWOOD SUCCEEDS IN HAV- ING APPROPRIATION INSERTED IN THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS BILL.

Washington, D. C., February 25.-(Spc- cial )-Represeltative Underwood of Ala bama today succeeded in having an ap- propriation of $12, GOO inserted in the pub lie buildings and grounds bill for the pur- chase of site for a public building at Bessemer, Ala,
 The bill which was reported to the house late this afternoon, also carries the original house appropriations of s75O0 each for Florence and Tuscaloosa, which were stricken out by the senate. The bill also cuts the s15O,oOO Anniston appro- priation to $75O0o.
 Representative Bowie of Alabama said tonight that he will vigorously oppose the house provision and he believes thal before the bill becomes a law the senate provision calling for $150OO0 will be adopt ed.
 It is evident that there will be quite a fight between the two bodies over the bill. Many of the appropriations differ in important amounts and it will require hard work on the part of the conference committee to reach an agreement.

Second Flag-The Battle Flag" known as the second flag. was designed by Gen eral Beauregard. adopted by Gen. Joseph E Johnston after the first battle of Manassas (Bull Run), and afterward adopted by the Confederate congress. The reason for it's adoption was that in the smoke and dust of battle the Stars and Bars" was frequently mistaken for the stars and Stripes" The Battle Flag" was conceived on the field of battle. lived on the field of battle, and was proudly borne on every field from Manassas to Appomattox.
 Third FIag-The third in the series was adopted by the Confederate congress May 1. 1863. as the National Flag of the Con- federate states.
 Fourth Flag-A modification of the third flag: was adopted March g. 1865, as the ''National Flag of the Confederate states by the Confederate congress for the reason that when the flag adopted May l, 1863, fell limp around the staff, it resembled a flag of truce. The red outer border was thus added.

Man Found Dead---Drunk.

Shortly after noon Thursday a crew on an incoming train from the east reported that a mans body was lying near the railroad track about three miles east of town. The coroner was notified, a jury quickly summoned and with a deputy sheriff and physician the party quickly left for the scene. Later in the afternoon a log train came in and one of the brakemen jumped of and awakened him. The search party, however, was not aware of the fact and after a long and cold search returned to town without having found the supposed ly dead man. It now seems that some one had been walking along the track in an intoxicated condition and had lain down to sleep it off, when his dreams were rudely broken into by the brake man.

Fire Clay Attracting Attention.

Some weeks ago an article was published in the NEWS in which statements regarding the fire clay deposits hereabouts were made. The article, as Mayor Macomber would say, was "copied far and wide," with the result that last week MT. H. I. Nesmith, manager of the local smelter, received a let ter from Fl Paso asking for further information and samples of the clay. These were immediately sent forward and as the clay is all that has been represented there is a very strong liklihood that this new industry-the making of fire-clay goods-will soon be in full blast in Williams.
