Aftermath of Convention.
With the departure of the farmer dele
gates from the city, one of the most
busting weeks in the history of Bessemer
has been brought 10 a close. Between the
farmers and the politicians, the latter of
which invaded the city on account of
the presence of the former, the Marvel
City has been kept stepping rather lively
for several days, and the resumption of
the comparative quiet and the mid-sea-
son of summer Is unusually noticeable.
1t Is generally believed that Bessemer
has cause to congratulate Itself on hav-
ing secured and entertained so large and
representative a body as the convention
of the Farmers Educational and Coop
eratiye union. Not only has it cause 10
felicitate itself on the unquestioned adj
vertisement that 1t has secured, but upon
bringing about a closer bond of friend
ship between the agricultural and the
mineral districts of Alabama. 1t was in
terestng to watch the unfeigned interest
of the delegates, especially those from the
lower part of the state, in the varied in
dustrial activity around the convention
city, and many of them had a chance for
the first time, to inspect some of the large
plants and have explained to them the
process of turning raw iron ore into fin
ished products
The aftermath of the convention, It
is believed, will consist In this: That the
people of the two sections will feel that
they are better acquainted with each
other than they have ever been before.
