TO INVESTIGATE
CITY JAIL AFFAIRS
ALDERMAN HEIDI MADE STATE.
MENT YESTERDAY-THl THE
RESULT OF RECENT OCCUR
FENCES AT CITY PRISON.

Alderman C. C. Heidt, chairman of
the sanitation and police committee of
City Council has gone on record as
stating that there will be an examina-
ton into the affairs and government of
the city Jail.
Further than that the alderman does
not commit himself. 1t is probable that
the investigation will not occur until after
the council meeting tonight
This determination on the part of the
alderman is the result of the recent facts
which came to light as the result of
testimony in the case of George Cobb, a
stevewore who made an assault on an
other prisoner, and in the recent escape
from the Jail of II. a. Hillman, and two
negroes.
From these cases, it was shown that
the stevedore, being himself prisoner
Is hardly suitable for the position of in
eide warden. 1t was shown that every
thing depends on the honesty of the
stevedore as to whether there is crime of
various natures occurring in the jail, I'M
known to the wardens on the outside. or
whether healthy state of affairs exists
II was pointed out by Judge FeaSin and
others THAI a paid stevedore should be
employed. Whether or not this will be
decided upon by the committee is UNI
known.

LECTURE DELIVERED
SONS OF VETERANS
Civil War and Slavery Discussed BY
Professor Burruss and Attor-
ney Deedmeyer.

Last night in the Cable hall on Second
avenue, lecture was delivered by Pro-
! fessor Henry P. Burruss at a meeting
, held under the auspises of Camp Clayton,
United Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The subject of the lecture was 1.-THE
Revolution of 1861"
A fairly good number was present, but
nothing like what was expected or what
the lecture was thought to have deserved.
The speaker mentioned with regret the
fact that very few people in this day of
trade and commerce preserve the tradi-
lions of their ancestors; that too many
have either forgotten or never knew the
early history of this country. its struggle
and trials. He said the discovery of
America came at focal time when a
new form of government was to be born,
which would rise above the despotism of
Greece and Rome and the feudalsm of
England The speaker said that the time
had come to correct the false impress
sion which existed in the minds of many
people upon the subject of the Civil Wa
and to establish the fact that the action
of the Confederate states was not an act
OF rebellion, but a revolution. In sup
port of this contention the lecturer quoted
the United States constitution and various
authorities
Frank Deedmeyer followed by giving
history of the institution and origin of
slavery and said that all great nations
passed through that ordeal. He sup
ported the views taken by Professor Bur-
russ upon the revolution of 1861 and cited
Jefferson, Madison and many other great
constitutional authorities upon the SUBJ
ject.
Miss Aurelia Sewall contributed TO the
evenings entertainment by playing on the
piano a musical selection entitled March
Mosquet,' and Miss Sallie Duncan sang:
'lf | Were Rose" and MAY Morning."
DR.. Byron Dozier acted as chairman
OF the meeting and announced that it was
the purpose to hold reunions of that
nature many times during the coming
year to which the public were cordially
invited

FEW INCREASES IN
LICENSE SCHEDULE

Make Radical Changes
OLD SCHEDULE ADOP TED
Important Meeting of Council Is Held.
New Alderman and Members of
Board of Education
Elected.
OLD SCHEDULE ADOP TED

Bessemer, December 1S-The first regu-
lar meeting of the board of aldermen dur
ing this month was held In the council
chamber tonight and proved to be long
drawn out. but several matters of unusual
Importance were acted upon.
The license schedule prepared by the
miscellaneous committee and reported at
the last meeting was completely abandon
ed, and the old schedule for the year
1906 was readopted with comparatively
few changes. The new schedule embraced
a number of radical increases which, in
the estimation of the aldermen, were not
called for. 1t is the general opinion that
the taxation in the city of Bessemer has
reached its high-water mark, which it
would be better to withdraw than to 60
higher.
The council chamber was crowded with
pawn brokers, saloon keepers, representa-
tives of the water works company the
electric light company and various others
whose tax had been raised, ready to conf
bat the measure to the last ditch. They
were highly pleased when the nation pre-
vailed to leave the licenses as they were.
Alderman Lewis said In defense of his
motion that although all the members of
the board were in business themselves,
not one of their licenses had been in
creased, and that it would be insincere on
their part to change the others. The mo-
ton was carried unanimously, and the
business men left with smiling faces. The
representative of the water works COM
pany said that he would take a drink of
water on that
City Attorney Ben G. Perry was in
structed to draw up an ordinance to
amend the license schedule making the
few changes that are necessary. Among
them will probably be, moving picture
show, 500; wholesale liquor dealers, $500;
pool rooms in connection with saloons to
be denied, and a few decreases.

LOW NEGRO DIVES
TO BE CLOSED UP
This Will Probably Be Action of the
Special Committee On License
Applicants.

1t is quite probable that all of the un-
desirable, indecent saloons in the city of
Bessemer will have to go out of business
after January l. The council by resou-
ton tonight adopted form of application
to be filled out by the applicants for
licenses, which, it is believed, will close
up all except those OF a high order run
on clean basis.
The resolution also provided for the ap-
pointment of a special committee by the
Mayor to act upon these applications,
and where it is not satisfied with the
character of the applicant the license will
be denied. Mayor Sullivan stated that
there were several saloons run by negroes
in the town that are a disgrace and
should not be allowed.
Negro saloons on Nineteenth street will
most likely be closed up, as they are es-
pecally undesirable. The barbecue stands
run in connection with these dives will
also receive a slap from which they will
hardly recover. The city clerk will sup
ply the needed blanks and the saloon men
are notified to make their applications
at once.
Steps were taken to pass an ordinance
removing music, domino tables and sucn
attractions from the saloons.

WHY TAKE
BUSINESS HOME
Are Your Nerves Constantly Strained
With GroundIess Worries7

The cause of this tense condition is in
your stomach. Your food does not digest
properly. Nine-tenths of all deyspep-
STA and indigestion is of the nervous type,
and the only certain cure is to right the
cause. TONES, brain foods, bitters. ETC.,
are mere temporary stimulants. Your
stomach and small intestines have become
deranged by improper selection of foods,
imperfect mastcation and irregularity
both as to time and amount of eating.
