Recital Tonight.

Bessemer. January 7.-(special)-The
new ordinances passed by the city council
last night prohibiting the sale of liquors
on Sunday and the entering of any sa-
loon on Sunday by any one except the
proprietor or his clerks, has created con-
siderable discussion and has been the
, principal topic of conversation on the
streets today
1t IS believed that a majority OF the
people are pleased with the new laws
and desire that they be strictly enforced
while there are others who are very much
dissatisfied with the action of the coun-
Gil and will do all in their power to
have the ordinances revoked. 1t is also
limited that the mayor will veto the
ordinances when they are presented Tor
his signature.
An interesting feature of the situation
is the positions that are being taken by
the saloonkeepers of this city. Several
are highly in favor of the law and desire
that it be enforced while others are
very antagonistic and are determined to
defeat the measure if possible.
One of the ordinances to which the
dissatisfied saloon keepers object prohibits
the sale of Intoxicating liquors on Sun
day while the other makes 1t violation
for any one except the proprietor or
his clerk from entering saloon on
Sunday.

ell met at the city hall this morning
