condition in which sleep is regular and
refreshing.

Bessemer, December S-(Special) )-That the mayors bench in the city council chamber seems to be the opinion of the side-liners in the race for the chief exec utiveship of Bessemer Perhaps the last announcement, and, it is whispered, one of the most important, was made this afternoon.

Deputy Contest.

The contest for chief deputy of Bes- semer is a warm issue in this end Of the county and is the chief topic of con- versaton. Bessemer wants the chief deputy appointed from her candidates on the ground that she furnished the largest vote and the most money to Higdon in the recent campaign, but there are sev- eral voices from Jonesboro which are clamorous for the office as we'll
 It is now becoming evident that a mass meeting will be called this week to meet in the Rebie hall, to which only Bessemer voters will be admitted. All of the can didates seem to favor this plan, and Hig- don himself is said to agree. If Bessemer is given the chief deputy there will be no objection to the appointment of the other two deputies from the other beats.
 Among those who are believed to be running in the front ranks with a good chance for the office is Grey J. Huffman, whose recommendation is found in his wide acquaintance and popularity.

Other objec- tions are that the employees will, in many cases, loose 20 cents on the dollar by be- ing forced to draw out his money in checks. There is general dissatisfaction among all classes and talk of holding a meeting next week to take action in get ting the company to change the date.

Of Great importance.

The meeting of the Young Voters club" which will be held next Tuesday night. promises to be well attended and to mark a new era in the history of the city. Especial interest is being aroused on account of the fact that several prom inent speakers will be present to make addresses upon the all-important sub ject of the position of the young man in politics. Professor II. P. Burris has accepted the invitation of tho club and the Rev. John w. stagg and Frank s. White, Jr., have been requested to make talks on various subjects.
 Professor Burris is talented speaker and an orator of reputation. His in- fiuence in the organization will have no little value.
 Every citizen of the town Is invited to be present. Chairman Grey J. Huffman, at whose suggestion the club has been formed, wishes it to be understood that the club is not a political machine, and will never be used for that purpose, but that it will exert its influence only toward bringing the young men of the city to a realization of their responsibilities and duties as citizens and sovereign voters. Every member will be induced to pay his poll tax, register and vote.
 The meetings of the club will be given over to the discussion of local and state issues, and regardless of faction 1t will always place itself on record on the side of the right. Those behind the movement see what a great power this dormant vote can exert if it is brought to the polls with the intention of defeating the false and putting in clean officers. That such a development would be a wonder ful value to the city is seen in the sup port which it is receiving from the older element.
 Another fact which is pointed to with pleasure is the manner in which the or ganization is regarded over the state Edi- torial comment in no less than five papers

The fire department was called out late this afternoon to Arlington avenue, be- tween Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, where a negro cottage was found in flames. The property which was al- most destroyed, was valued at about $50 and belonged to H. L. Bains.
 In returning the company received a second call to a house on Carolina ave- nue, between the same streets, but the loss at this fire amounted to very little, the flames being extinguished before any damage was done.

seem to be troubled concerning the future of the Bessemer court. As whole they were of the opinion that the bill repeating the Morrow bill will go through without any trouble, and that the bill of consoli- dation of all the courts in the county will meet with considerable opposition. At torney Scott of Bessemer is said to have made a fine speech at the meeting, in which he asked that the Bessemer court be left out of the consolidation. Other than the corporation lawyers every one present agreed with him.
