MUCH DEPENDS ON ACTION

Bessemer. January Especial Per
haps the livest issue that has ever come
zip in Bessemer, and one which will ma
terially Influence the trend of local poll
tics, will be practically settled at Mont
gomery next Thursday. the oath of this
month, at 2:30 p. m. A notice has been
received from the Jefferson county delega-
ton to the effect that they will meet at
that time for the purpose of hearing the
evidence for and against the repeal of
the police commission law of Bessemer.
1t is expected that both sides of the
question will be represented and that
decision will then be reached, which will
to no little degree influence the action of
the committee to which the matter has
been referred. As the time approaches the
two factions are becoming more and more
energetic, and 1t is evident that both
sides are strong in numbers. They will
make a great fight in the meeting next
Thursday.
Politically there is nothing Of greater
Importance than the settlement of this
question, for it Is said If the law is re-
pealed 1t will greatly assist one of the
candidates for Mayor, who has cham
pioned the repeal. Some claim that the
commission is a fifth wheel, while others
are fully in sympathy with the plan.
Everyone is watching with the most in
tense interest the developments of next
Thursday.

ENGINEERS MOVED
ON TO EARNEST
Are RUNNING Preliminary Line Via
Ensley for Tracks OF the A. 3.
G. A. Railroad.

Bessemer January 22.-(Special)-
The much talked of engineers of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road were in the city only a few days,
and then suddenly vanished. At present
the whole force is located at Earnest,
about six miles northwest of the city,
and is rushing the preliminary lines as
fast as possible. From information re-
ceived yesterday no decision has yet been
reached relative to the permanent course.
H. a. Payne, who has b&en in charge
of the force. was called away last week
to New York. and J. Il. ODDS of Atlanta
arrived yesterday to take his place, and
under the new direction the work Is going
on as fast as before. They will COM
plete the circuit to Ensey and North
Birmingham, after which the advantages
of both prospects will be considered and
a route chosen The fact that. after run
ming the line TO Birmingham parallel 10
the Alabama Great Southern railroad,
the company has decided to try another
course, would show that it was not salts
fed with the first course, and the general
opinion is that the new line will be fol-
lowed.

'I am in hopes that this Southern
Breeders association which We are here
to organize permanently, will result in
great good. IF its objects are carried out
Il will mean millions to the south. 1t will
first improve the breed of horses in the
south and stimulate the breeding of fine
horses, and after that We propose to take
up the improvement Of all classes of stock
In the south We expect to arouse and
stimulate interest in the breeding of all
kinds of fine stock just as We expect
to improve the breed of horses.
of course Huntsville is prospecting. The
surveys have been made and they have
commenced building the track of the
Nashville, Huntsville and Gulf railroad.
They are working on the line from Nash

Is completed to Huntsville they expect

BESSEMER WINS
IN STENNITT SUIT
Defendant Found Not Guilty of Pollut-
Ing Valley creek-Trial In
the City Court.

Bessemer, January 22-(Special.)-The
case of j. e. stennitt VS.. the city of
Bessemer occupied the city court all of
yesterday and today, and did not go to
the jury until late this afternoon. After
a few minutes out the jury returned the
verdict for the defendant
Some time ago stennitt brought suit
against the city for alleged pollution OF
Valley creek with the sewerage dump. In
the first case a verdict was given In
favor Of the city, but in the second,
damage to the amount of $25 was granted.
This was appealed to the supreme court
and the Judgment set aside.
When 1t came up again this week the
plaintiff was represented by Judge Mont
gomery Of Birmingham and City Attor-
ney Ben G. Perry looked after Besse-
mer's interest. Another ono of these
Stennitt cases will come up tomorrow,
with practically the same conditions ex-
cept that the land does not touch the
creek in question. Others are said to be
pending in the Birmingham courts
against corporations for the pollution of
Valley creek.
While the jury was out the time of
the court was taken up with hearing
the pleadlngs in the case of the First
National bank of Gadsden against Sam
Lefkovltz of this city. The proceedings
were not finished, however. The re-
mainder of the week will be taken up
with jury civil cases.
