ALDERMAN MOORE OUT OF THE RACE No Longer Candidate for Mayor
 of BeSsemer HAD GOOD CHANCE TO WIN First Rally of the Campaign Will Be Held Tomorrow Night By the Sullivan Forces-Personal
 and General.

Bessemer. February 6-(Special)-A new turn was taken in municipal poli- tics today by Alderman T. A. Moore with drawing form the mayoralty race. A pressure of business is given as the cause of Mir. Moore's retirement from the con- test. This action leaves the field to J. J. Sullivan and Alderman w. G. Hurd.
 MT. Moore has made an excellent record as a member of the aldermanic board and the announcement that he has de- cided to withdraw from the race has caused regret among his friends. On account of his business and poltieial records MT. Moore was looked upon as a formidable candidate.
 The friends of the other two aspir- ants for the office of mayor are actively engaged in their behalf. The first rally of the campaign will be held next We'd nesday night The campaign committee of Candidate Sullivan, comprising thirty Bessemer citizens, with E. A. Veitch secretary, has issued an address calling a meeting at the office of Dr. J. s. Win ters.
 The object of the meeting, 1t Is stated, is to talk plans for beginning an aggres- sive campaign in behalf of J. J. Sul- livan's candidacy for mayor.
 Considerable polticial gossip is current concerning the various candidates for aldermen and the indications are that there will be some lively contests in al- most every ward.

Mil- Ter on the morning that the book ot receipts and disbursements Of the treas urer was found in burning condition Tn the private office in the rear of the Little Drug Store, was seen by the cor respondent of the Age-Herald yesterday and he gave out a statement in which he says that the report that the book was found in the grate or partly in the grate, IS erroneous. MT. T. M Cross, who Is manager of the Little Drug Store, and who helped extinguish the flames that were consuming the book, corroborates MT. Palmers statement. They both claim that the book was too large to have been placed in the grate.
 MT. Palmer said that on the morning of February the first he and Mir Little were engaged in the latter's private of- flee working on the receipts ana disburse- ments book of the treasurer, getting IL ready to turn over to Hugh Morrow, and that between Il and F o'clock MT.

 T went up into the store to wait on some customers" continued MT. Palmer, and MT. Little came out within very short time going up to the stove and sitting down. He then went back to the desk in front of the private office pro- cured some papers, opened the safe which Is on the outside of the office and put the papers in 1t. In the meantime had telephoned to Judge Sheppard res idenoe for a horse and buggy to be sent to the Peoples drug store, where MT. Little had gone. About l o'clock MT. Cross came in from dinner, entering the store at the rear door. and in doing so passed close to the private office. He came up toward the front of the store where I was standing and a--led me if MT. Lit tie had been buring any papers that morning. I told him none that l knew of He said he had smelled something burning back there.
 T went to the private office, opened the dor and found the book lying in front of the grate with the table on which 1t had been resting turned over on its side, two other books being near the one that was burning I immediately called MT. Cross, who came and saw the book burn ing He told me to get bucket of water which 1 did, and we extinguished the flames. Mir. Lemert, who was sitting by the stove, stepped back to the door about that time."
 MT Little has not given out any state- ment regarding the matter. His health has not been good for several months, and he has been confined to bed for the past day or two at the residence of Probate Judge James w. Shepherd.
