 BESSEMER WANTS LOWER INSURANCE Southeastern Tariff Association Makes Investigation CONDITIONS ARE GOOD 1t Is Thought That the Case of the State Against T. J. cornwell Will Be Set for Trial Again
 Soon.

Bessemer. October 2.-(Special) )-Repre- sentatives of the Southeastern Tariff as- sociation have been In the city for a few days making an investigation of the fire conditions, and it is believed that the city will be given a better fire in- surance rating.
 Fire plugs and the water pressure were thoroughly tested and found to be in very fine condition in every particular The water pressure is found to be es- pecially good.
 Bessemer is now In the third class, and it is hoped that it will be put in the second class in short time.
 The Bessemer fire department Is one of the best in the state, and has made very fine record in the management of fires during the past few years. Bessemer has suffered very little recently from fires, which fact is partly due to the ef- ficency of the fire department and the good water supply
 Bessemer City Court.
 The case of the Owensboro Wagon com pany vs. John A. Hall, which has been on trial in the Bessemer city court almost all the week, came to a close last night, when the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of $41.
 This is the second time the case has been tried the defendant gaining yer dict in the former trial.
 The court will be engaged In the trial of minor civil jury cases for the remainder of the week.
 It is very probable that the case Of the state vs. T. J. Cornwell. who Is charged with the embezzlement of some thing over $200,000 from the Bessemer Say ings bank, will be reset for trial during the present term of the court. possibly in November or December.
 When this case was called for trial in the city court three weeks ago plea of former jeopardy was filed by the defend- ant and the jury before whom the plea. was argued made a mistrial and the main case was not called.
 When the case is reset for hearing it is probable that the sang plea of former jeopardy will be filed, and will have to be disposed of by a jury before the real charge can be tried.
 State Solicitor l.. D. Godfrey was as- sisted in the former trial by Attorney Pinkney Scott. Cornwell was defended by Capt. Frank S. White of Birmingham and Attorney W. K. Smith of this city.

CARRY PARCEL FREIGHT
ON THE STREET CARS
Plan to Deliver Small Packages at Ger
tain Points on Lines in Man
chester, England.

The city of Manchester, England, has
long been noted for its excellent tram
way service. The condition Of the roll
ing stock and the number and character
of the employees have made the street
railways of that city noted throughout
the United Kingdom
Despite this reputation. which all the
citizens of Manchester glory in, another
interesting improvement is being advo-
Gated and will soon be tried. This is to
provide q place on the cars for the de-
post of parcels. A committee recently
met and arranged a schedule Of prices
to be charged for parcels, and, when the
cars are equipped with the place for
freight, drays will practically be dis
pensed with. 1t will then be possible for
the merchants to dispatch goods to all
parts of the city reached by the cars, at
low cost A package weighing 112
POUNDS. for instance. can be transported
anywhere within the city limits for IL
cents, while any dray would charge SO
cents, and perhaps 81.
Manchester has population OF 500, 0O3.
and the movement to equip the cars
with freight bins is meeting with uni
versal approval. This matter has also
been discussed in many American cities,
but never attempted.

Bobwhite Eat Boil WeeViIs.

So says Vernon Bailey, Chief
Field Naturalist, Biological Sur
vey, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
He says:
Thirty-fve specimens of Texas
bobwhite were collected at Seguin
between November and IL, where
at the opening of the hunting
season they were abundant Later
a few hocks were seen at or near
Columbus, Eagle Lake, Wharton
and Navasota, but at all these
places they were comparatively
scarce and the f1ocks were scatter
ed and wild. At Seguin almost
every field and pasture contained
one to three coveys of 10 to 20
quail, which were generally to be
round not far from their chosen
roosting thickets or feeding
grounds. On many of the farms
one or more hocks had taken up
quarters close to the houses or in
the orchard or garden and had be-
come comparatively tame. At Mr..
Neel's place where most of my
work was done, a fock, of about
dozen birds lived in the orchard,
garden and barnyard, and when
frightened rarely flew beyond
these limits. The farthest from
the house that I ever found them
was in the edge Of the adjoining
cotton field, were toward shutdown
they were often seen feeding. Mr..
