.HIGDON MAY DELAY
HIS APPOINTMENTS
Rumor Has II That Announcement of
Chief Deputy Will Not Be-
Made Today.

Bessemer, December H-(Special. )-Wil
Higdon announce his deputies today? AL
though it was stated officially some time
ago that the final list would be chosen
by the 18th, 1t is rumored that action will
lie delayed for some time.
One of the candidates made the state
ment that on account of the absence of
Colonel Higdon the office in Birmingham
was powerless, and that he would not re-
turn for some time. This will be great
disappointment to the many candidates
and their friends in Bessemer who had
worked up no little interest in the warm
fight for the chief deputyship. 1t is hoped
in this end of the county that a de-
cision will be made in the near future, in
order that the memorable sheriff's race
may become a thing of history and cease
to have an influence on local politics.
Captain Young, Grey j. Huffman and
quite a number of others are quite con-
fident of victory, and it is stated that
any one of them would make an able
officer. For the past few days the deputy
contest has overshadowed the city politics
and has developed some factionalism. The
sooner 1t is settled the better is the gen.
eral opinion.

WILL PASS UPON
FINISHED BILL
IN THE MAYORS OFFICE ALL IN
TERESTED WILL HEAR THE
CIVIL SERVICE BlLL-ALL MAY
CRlTlcISE.

A meeting of the committee from the
Police Relief association having charge Of
the bill seeking the Inauguration of the
civil service regulation in the Brming-
ham police force, will have a meeting this
morning at 30 o'clock in the office of
Mayor Ward. Present at the meeting will
be the several legislative representatives
from Jefferson. who have gone on record
as favoring the measure and as promis-
ing to support it.
These gentlemen will thoroughly review
the bill, and will pass on it finally. It will
be seen whether it is favorable to the
police department, to the city, and to
he representatives, and in case either of
the three parties has objection TO any
feature, an effort will be made to correct
that objection. In other words, 1t is de-
sired that the bill shall go to the house
having the hearty support of everybody in
jefferson county
As has been published on other occa-
sions, the chief provision of the bill is the
guaranteeing to the policeman his job fof
life during good behavior. 1t is argued
by the advocates of the measure that this
will remove the department from the
touch of politics.

Baptist Bazaar.

After two days of the Baptist bazaar the
ladies in charge are highly pleased with
the results, over a hundred dollars having
already been cleared. The doll booth
alone has made $50 toward the contribu-
ton of Mr.. Herbert's Sunday school class
and all the others have been equally sue
cessful
The booths were well patronized. and
large crowds bought the turkey and oys-
ter dinner that is so attractively served.
The fancy work booth also has some
beautiful pieces for sale at bargain prices
which are selling fast and are much adj
mired.
Santa Claus will visit the bazaar again
Saturday, both at 3 o'clock and at
o'clock. The children and their parents
throng the store room on these occasions
and the little exhibition is much enjoyed.
The bazaar will continue until 10 o'clock
tonight, and the ladies hope to sell every
article in the building The meals are
most delightful and well worth the small
price which is charged. All the friends of
the church are requested to assist in
wiring the new Baptist church that is just
nearing completion.

OF JOHNS ADDRESS
Tells School Children of the Stirring
Scenes of the Civil War
Period.

Bessemer, December A-(Special)-Col.
Sam Will John of Birmingham addressed
the members of the High school and the
students from the sixth and seventh
grades in the Elk's hall this afternoon.
The occasion was the celebration of Aid
bama Day." and Mr.. John took as his
subject, Alabama In the Days of the
Civil War" With the use of a chart and
other illustrations he made his talk most
vivid to the young minds, impressing upon
them, as no words could do, the part
which their home state took in that great
struggle Using little bits of paper he
arrayed the opposing armies against each
other, and with him the children lived
again the hard and trying time which
Colonel John passed through in his youth
The day was an active one with the
public schools. During the morning many
visitors were shown through the various
buildings, the parents being especially in
terested in the work of their children. In
the afternoon all of the grammar grades
held exercises in memory of Alabama with
recitatlons and songs. The older pupils
were marched in body to the Elk's hall

RUSH CLUB OPENS
BESSEMER CAMPA|
VIII Make a Clean, ConServa-
tive Fight for Mayor
PRIMARY PLAN DISCUSSED
Most of the Candidates Are In Favor
of Majority Rule to Secure
the Choice of the
People.

Bessemer, December 14.-(Special The
campaign in the contest for mayor began
tonight with a meeting of the supporters
of DR.. W. t. Rush and the formation of
the Rush club. The meeting was presided
over by ]. B. East, whom Mr.. Rush has
chosen as his manager.
The object of the gathering was to dis
cuss the prospects of the candidate and
to get down to work in his interest. Many
of the gentlemen present made short in
formal talks in which they predicted an
easy victory, and outlined the platform
upon which they intend to run.
Mr.. East stated that he wanted it under
stood that they were making a clean, con-
sentative fight. and that no factional in
terest. county or city, would enter in.
With no promises to individuals, but with
an ideal of serving the people unreserved-
ly and making a good business mayor,
Mr.. Rush is believed to stand a good
chance of nomination.
The meeting was enthusiastic in every
respect. Every man present expressed his
intention of quietly and earnestly push
ing the campaign.
One of the questions which will probably
become a live issue at the meeting of the
city democratic executive committee will
be the plan upon which the primary will
be conducted. Most Of the candidates are
openly in favor of having a majority rule
and il necessary a run off between the
two highest candidates, thus securing the
choice of the people. Mr. Rush is in favor
of a majority rule. Edgar L. Mitchell
says that he would withdraw under other
circumstances The action of the COM
mittee is awaited with Interest. No date
for the meeting has yet been set and 1t is
probable that the primary will not be hold
until some time in March.
Every one is talking politics nowadays.
The various candidates are watching each
other closely and doing some energetic
work. and after the first of the year it Is
expected that one of the hottest CAM
paigns known in years will come into full
blast.
