Senator Bill No. 422 was intro duced by Senator Clark, and amends Sections 486 and 4S7 of Kirbys Digest.
 The rest of the morning was taken up in the Senate in the con- sideration of local bills.
 In the House yesterday after noon, Chairman Stevens of the Ways and Means Committee call ed up the general appropriation bill for the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the gov ernment, which had been approv- ed in Committee of the Whole, and final roll call on the bill was taken in the house.
 The bill carries an appropria- tion of about $45O, ,OOO, which does not vary materially from the sum appropriated in the legislative session of two years ago. This general bill will be submitted to the Senate today.
 Mr. McCracken was recognized to call up bill which provides that county examiners shall ex- anime the applicants for teachers as between whites and blacks at separate times and in separate apartments. Mir. Ki!lough sug- gested that the bill was not cor rectly drawn to cover the condi- tlonS, and it was referred back to the Committee on Education to be corrected,
 The bill by MT. Skaggs, which provides that marks of stock shall accompany bills of lading when such stock is to be shipped from the state, was called up that certain counties might be exempt ed, and the bill was referred to the EngroSsing Committee.
 In the House this morning a bill was passed requiring the Cot ton Belt railroad to build a depot on the Arkansas side of Texar- kama, in order to give the people of that city the 2-cent rate.
 The rest of the morning was taken up in considering the Lee Browning Insurance Bill, which at B o'clock this afternoon had not reached vote but message received at that hour states that a vote wsil be taken at , o'clock. The House is thronged with bus mess men, and much interest is manifested. Whaley is for the bill but McCollum says he will vote against it.

That's the way the head lines read today as announcing the re suit of yesterdays game at Little Rock. It was anerrorleSs game, and five of the visitors laid down the bat before the debutant Buchanan. But the hero of the game was Rockenfeld, the short stop, who was at several times during the game loudly applaud ed for his superior work. The two runs made by Shreveport came in the fatal fifth.

BESSEMER THR|VES ALONG EVERY LINE Building Material is in Great
 Demand WILL OVERHAUL THE GRAND Hotel Is to Be Remodeled and Made Credit to the olty-PersonaI
 and General News of
 Bessemer.

Bessemer. September 8.-(special.)- That the city is making great strides in the building line cannot be denied when it Is taken into consideration that the lumber dealers are pushed to their utmost to fill the orders that they are receiving. Every one that owns plot of ground in the city seems anxious to erect some kind of house on it, and for that reason. the supply is hardly up to the demand. Dealers in lumber are very optimistic regarding the general outlook for the fall and winter trade, and one of the most prominent men in this line, stated today that while he had a full time, he found 1t almost impossible to keep pace with the wants of the differ ent people that were anxious to build.
 The brick manufacturers are having a very hard time in this connection from the fact that they have made some very large contracts with the Atlanta, Birm- ingham and Atlantic railroad, and several other concerns that will necessarily take most of their output for the next few months. To sum the whole thing up. Building in Bessemer Is on a decided boom, and 1t is thought that 1t will con- tinue during the whole year.
 Most of the stores in the city seem to have taken on new life, and there Is an effort made on all sides to arrange and beautify them so that they will be a credit to the city.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-29
VIII Overhaul Hotel.

The Grand hotel is at last to receive an overhauling, both as regards to ex- terior and interior The building itself is one of the most imposing in the city, and 1t has often been remarked that it was shame to let 1t run down as it has. George H. Stevenson & Co., real estate dealers, have acquired control of the building now. and MT. Stevenson stated this afternoon that 1t would be thoroughly renovated, and a good many changes would be made
 It looks fairly well on the outside but the interior Is very bad. and it certain ly is not good advertisement to the traYeling public for Bessemer as 1t now stands. Repeated efforts have been made by the proprietors of the hotel proper to have the interior put in shape, but this Is the first time that any effort has been made In that direction in some time The building Is situated on one of the most important streets in the city, and naturally every one Is anxious to see It fixed up so that it will be a credit to the city. MT Stevenson promises to see to it that it is fixed up in good shape.
