Trip for Today.

Tomorrow morning the visitors will be shown around the mineral district of Bessemer on a special train rendered by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company.
 The party will leave Friday evening at 10:30 o'clock over the Frisco for the an- nual outing and excursion 10 St. Louis. The editors will take in the sights of the worlds fair and the democratic national convention. The Frisco has made elabo- rate arrangements to handle the special cars of the editors Passenger Agent Cornatzan will accompany the party. The convention just closed was a most interesting one and Bessemer entertained the visitors in a royal fashion. They are all loud in their praise of the Marvel City's hospitality. Everything was done for the comfort of the editors that could be done. The editors were not allowed to spend anything while in the Marvel City. Even the enterprsng soda water dis pensers supplied them with tickets en- titling them to cool drinks.
 During the proceedings of the Press as- sociation today the following poem was read by Tom Garner of Tuscaloosa and made quite hit:
 THE OUTSIDE man there was and he made his prayer.
 Even as you and I, To a press committee of patience rare. He wasn't a writer, but he didn't care He wanted to go to the Worlds Fair
 Even as you and I. Oh the plea he made was very good,
 It had all been hopefully planned But the committee, you see, it didn't know And the fact of it was 1t never could know
 Nor could 1t understand.
  The man said he had held a pass
 Even as you and I. For many a year he had ridden alas, He was but one of a very large class Whose family went on excursions en
 masse
 Even as you and l. Oh the time we lost and trouble we had
 As the committee figured i.nd planned For there were some would question why And be angry enough to swear and cry
 And refuse to understand. The man was denied his request and told
 Gwen as you and D That many were called and few enrolled, So henceforth outsiders won't ride so bold With us purified editors now In the fold
 Even as you and l. Oh, the ladies so fair and the dead swell
 fellows
 Who were ornaments to the band We lost in the hope that the railroads, you know,
 In granting us favors would never be slow
 And fall to understand.
