ule Is Announced.

Bessemer, May 11-(Special)-A num-
Der of citizens interested in the construc-
ton of the Brookwood electric car line
met in the office of S. E. Jones this af-
ternoon for the purpose of hearing the
detailed report of the engineers. All the
promoters are delighted with the report,
which stated that the proposed line could
be constructed and equipped for 100000.
1t was the intention of the promot-
esr of the road to perfect a permanent
organization and to elect officers of the
company this afternoon but after con-
siderable discussion it was decided to
gather some necessary statistics to COM
pile prospectus before affecting an or
ganization. A committee was appointed
to gather the information and the pro-
moters will be called to meet when the
committee has completed this work.
The new line will run through the Blue
Creek district and will be about sixteen
miles in length. The rolling stock will
consist of six cars. 1t is the intention
of the promoters to erect an electric
plant in Bessemer. This plant will fur
nish power for the line and light for the
city.

President Head of the Tri-State league,
has announced the schedule for half of
the season, beginning May 16 and ending
July 6. Bessemer will play sixteen games
at home and will be the road for
twenty-seven games. This difference was
caused by the conflict with the Southern
league schedule. This being the only
place where the Southern leaguers con-
fiict with the Tri-State league.
Bessemer will be at home on the fol-

They are coming, almost in
droves, to the support Of Judge
Parker-the independent press OF
the country.
The latest is the Daily Herald
Of Baltimore, which says:
"Almost without exception the
independent newspapers in the

Parker and Davis. There is, in
fact, no alternative il judgment

that his friends claim for him; we
have for the man firm respect, and
we believe that he is honest and
sincere, but we prefer for the presi-
dent OF this great nation a steady,
strong man of judicial qualities
who in calm and storm will guide
the ship Of state by the chart Of
the constitution instead OF chang.

The logic Of some peoples ar
gument is very amusing. A rad
ical republican last Saturday admit
ted that Idaho county had been
ably and honestly governed by the
democrats for the past six years
but thought that change should
be made as it was not best to keeE
one party in power SO long. When
asked if he felt the same way about
the national government he wanted
to talk about the crops.

The article in the Standard last
week in which they tried to make
political capital out Of the loss OF the
old registration books is meeting
the fate it deserves and like much
of the intentional misleading stuff
which appears in it's columns is
being severely criticised by mem
bers of it's own party. That some
of these books were lost or de-
stroyed no one denies. But when
thev criticise the county officials
for their loss they are wilfully
wrong and are doing that which is
condemned by all self respecting
newspapers. The fact is well
known that under the old registra-
ton laws all qualified voters were
required to register before each
general election and after such
election the books were of no more
value than the old tickets, Be-
sides, on election day the registra-
ton books were turned over to the
election judges, which by law are
nonpartisan, for checking at the
polls. After election they vert
generally placed in the ballot boxes
with the cancelled tickets and left
with one of the judges, who was
just as often republican as
democrat. The last Legislature
passed new law whereby a vote
who has registered at the previous
election need not register again
he remains in the same precinc
and in the future the books will
of course, be kept. The same con
dition exists all over the state an
