Locally the contest is quite spirited in
the race for sheriff, There are five can

had to make the race.
Cotton is being brought in, but the
farmers are not disposed to sell since the
decline in price.

of the struggle the bloody battle ground,
will pass In comparative quiet the demo-

in as to the result in various offices, and
as usual the confident partisans are pre-
dieting landslides of varying SIZE in favor
of their respective candidates. No one
denies, however, that each aspirant for
office in the county or state has friends
who have been working for his election in
Bessemer, and for this reason no one
can tell with any degree of certainty who
will hold any of the offices for which the
race is being made

more. 'Tls the friend of my heart who

by the deeds of his father on the i'm

that flag the flag he loved and honored
flag of the noble First, flag of our re-

of our mothers and dedicated to the cause
of humanity. Such a volunteer needs no
cathedral to make his resting place. He

endeared him to his associates and make
the memory of his short life a priceless
heritage to his family and friends.
