KENT RESIGNS POSITION

Bessemer February S.-(Special.) l.)-The probable policy of the city administration in the matter of enforcing all Sunday laws is still the chief topic of eonversa- tion on the streets of Bessemer and more than one business concern that has been allowed to operate seven days in the week is wondering what the result will be.
 The chief of police has been instructed to follow the letter of the city code and the state law explicitly and 1t is under stood that, to use a threadbare express sion, fthe lid will be glued on tight" in Bessemer and Mayor Sullivan will occupy the seat of honor on the spout
 It is rumored that the law will be se- soda fountains, cigar stands, livery sta bles bicycle stalls and such other places will come under the ban of the law and will have to go out of business every Saturday night at 12 o'clock and remain out of business until the same time Sun day night In fact it is understood to be the policy of the administration to put an absolute prohibition on every business except those specifically named as excep- tions in the state law
 Resigns Position.
 J. T. Kent who has been superintendent of the Bessemer rolling mills of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company in this city for four years, has resigned the position and will go at once to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where he has been appointed superintendent of the rolling mill division of the Dominion Iron and Steel company. MT. Rents family will follow him later.
 Superintendent Kent has made fine record in the operation of the rolling mill at this place and the plant has been very successful under his management.
 The past month stands as the record month in the history of the plant. which was largely due to the skill and execu- tive ability of the superintendent
 The people of this city regret to lose MT Kent and his family but rejoice that he has been promoted to a more responsi- be position with a larger field of opera tion.
