May Be a Test Case.

Washington, D. C., May 27.-Attorney General Bonaparte said today that he had decided not to give any further hear ing on the questions involved in the new pure food law so far as 1t relates to the labelling of packages containing whisky. There is reason for the belief that his or iginal opinion made public some weeks ago will stand substantially as purpose in expectation that the questions involved will be finally determined by test case brought in the courts.

MRS. WILLIAMSON BURNED

Bessemer, May 27.-(Special. 1.-The mass meeting held this evening at the Rebie Hall in the interest of the Greater Bes- semer movement was well attended one, and several interesting speeches were made by prominent citizens. On a mo- ton made by George H. Stephenson, Wal ter s. Gilbert was elected chairman and H. N. Freeman secretary.
 The meeting was called for the pur- pose of obtaining the views of the eiti- zens os Bessemer, Jonesboro and Brigh- ton, with the object in view of joining the three into a Greater Bessemer. The movement has met with a hearty ap- proval on some sides, while on the other hand there are some that do not think it would work out to the best interests of all concerned One of Bessemer's most prominent citizens gave it as his opinion that the movement was one that would redound to the benefit of all the places named, and he felt assured that it was one of the best moves the city of Bes- semer has made in a long while. A~prom- inent resident of Jonesboro said that he believed the consummation of the great CT Bessemer plan would meet with ready favor with most of the Jonesboro citi- zens, and while the time was good way removed ere the enlargement plan could be put into execution, he had no doubt but that the contemplated move meat would be carried overwhelmingly.
 A committee composed of Thomas T. Huey, chairman; ben G. Perry and w. Hougn McInary, was appointed to draft a bill creating Greater Bessemer along the lines of the Greater Birmingham bill, this bill to be reported to the meeting of the board of trade to be held on Tues day, June 4.

 J. B. Terry, the milkman, has sold out his herd of Jersey cows and gone out of the dairy business. The chief difh- eulty with him was the inability to se- cure efficient labor There is fine open ing in this city for a dairy, us there Is no-v no regular dairy in operation.
 The lnemen of the Bell Telephone com pany are still at work on the wires or the corporation within the city. The se-vice has been much improved by the work put on the system within the past month. and in another month of steady repair work the subscribers will have no cause for complaint.
 The new furniture of the postoffice has been put in place. though work is yet going on in puttinl in new plate glass front to the building and in tiling the floors The private office of the post master will be the first at the entrance, instead of at the rear, as heretofore, It is though that the free delivery system will partially do away with the demand for lock boxes Each box is opened by a combination. It Is amusing to observe the citizens who have heretofore enjoyed a box opening with a key wrestls with an elusive combination and call on his neigh bor for help The equipment of the of fec is now first-class in every respect, and experts figure that there will be plenty of room in the postoffice for at least i've years to come.

Permanent Headquarters.

Capt. A. C. Sexton, adjutant general anG chief of staff for Commander-in- Chief Thomas M owen. of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, will in- troauce at the reunion in Richmond this week d resolution to establish permanent headquarters of the sons, preferably at Montgomery; certainly at Montgomery or Richmond. Both were capitals of the Confectionery. Capt. Sexton believes that salaried man should be appointed to look after the duties now falling to the adjutant and that one city should be the headquarters all the time.
 Tie confederation is engaged just now in history research more than anything else and there Is a world of detail to look after. In spite of this fact. there have been twenty new camps installed since last meeting, all of which are doing fine lrk. It is also found that there are many new members received under the per capita tax of 25 cents as under the old fee of 10, showing the patriotism of the sons.
 Capt. Sexton Is of the opinion that the sa.arled adjutant should be with the gen eral headquarters at Montgomery and should have at least $l500 and his eX- poses. This plan would make it possi- ble for the organization to go along with its history work without Interruptions so prevalent at this time.

In Honor of Davis.

It has been suggested by Prof. H. S. Halbert, historian and archeologist in the state department of archives and history, that the people of the capitol and of the entire city if possible gather at the state house on June at 2 D. m. and bare their heads for five minutes when the statue of Jefferson Davis is unveiled at Rich mond. On the front of the building Is a star. just where Mir. Davis stood to be sworn in as the first and only President of the Confectionery, and 1t would be fit ting, Professor Halbert thinks, to gather as near that star as possible.
 This is in line with the order of the commander-in chief. Gen. stephen D. Leo. who suggests that all business be sns- pended at that hour to do honor to the memory of the chieftaln of the south It was here that Davis came to be head of the fated nation, and here that he as- stunned the reins of office and 1t Is fitting, 1t is argued. that his memory be especial ly revered by those who reside in this his- toric old city. His old home is here and the place where he was elected and set apart to the work he had to do for the south, and 1t is here that he came in the last of his days to dedicate great mon ument to his soldiers who fought and died for their country.

Great Damage to Crops.

There were heavy falls in all parts of the state and they came at c time when the cotton was least able to resist it.

It is expected that this will be looked after when the July ses- sions opens
