WORK OF THE LODGES

Bessemer, April 9.-(Special.)- eve
of the municipal election has been dis
tinguished by a calm of activities that is
surprising when the number of candidates
is taken into consideration. Every one's
comment on the campaign agreed that it
has been one of the quietest in local his
tory The only features that marked
political affairs here today was the circu-
lation of few handblls by some of the
aspirants for office and the inability to
spot the candidates themselves during
their hurried final rounds among the
voters.
The registration for this primary cleo
ton numbers not quite 500 but few
more will be added tomorrow of young
men who will cast their first votes. The
polling booths will be open at the city
hall at a. m. and close at p. m. A
quiet day is anticipated as the saloons
have all been closed today and will stay
closed tomorrow, which insures quietude
and freedom from the annoyance of
DRINKS.

morrow is as follows:

ment sidewalks until the outskirts of the
city were reached, when he took to the
woods. An hour and a half later the
hounds took up the trail and returned at
