BESSEMER STILL
 MAKING HARD KICK Objects to Deprivation of South
 ern Train Service JOHNSTON WILL SPEAK Former Governor Accepts Invitation to Deliver the Fourth of July
 Oration-other News
 of Bessemer.

Bessemer, July 1.-(Special. )-The South' ern railway today inaugurated its pas- senger service into Birmingham via Mo- bile Junction and Ensley, and the new move has been the cause of considerable comment in Bessemer. To take one of the Southern trains now one has to go to Thirteenth avenue, or, in other words, entirely away from the heart of the city. Jonesboro, with population of 5000, has always had two trains a day that the people could count on, but now 1t Is d question of starting an hour ahead of time if they wish to catch the train. From Lipscomb, just the other side of Besse- mer, there is a great deal of traffic as far as Cleveland station. The residents of that section have been accustomed to catch the trains without having to go two or three miles, but if they desire to trav- el now they will either have to come into Bessemer or else take trip to Birming- ham to catch a train. A special meeting has been called by the secretary of the board of trade to be held in the city hall tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, at which time some action will be taken with re- gard to having the passenger trains come nearer to the heart of the city.
 The Southern owns track that it could easily utilize to run the trains up into the city. To do this would mean that the trains would have to be backed up for about half mile, but in Anniston they get into the city by backing up nearly two miles, and the citizens and travelling public of Bessemer can see no reason why they should not be willing to afford this place the same accommodations that other cities are enjoying. The meeting to be held tomorrow afternoon promises to be a spirited one, as the new departure means much for the welfare of Bessemer.

1t was stated that the object of the meeting was
to hear report from Col. Kerr and Mr.. Lombard
as to the condition Of the evee at Dortchs bend in
Bosser Parish, and further, as to whether any as
sistance could be secured from the Federal Gov
eminent In holding the present levee. Mr.. Lom-
bard read the correspondence that had taken place
between himself and COL Kerr and Capt. Hoffman,
and reported that it evident that no immediate
assistance could be hoped for from the Federal
Government. He reported further that it was alb
solutely necessary that new levee be constructed
at Dortch's bend at once. Col. Kerr corroborating
this report, pressed upon the Board the urgent
necessity for the immediate construction of this
levee.
On motion of Mr.. McDade, seconded by DR.,
Atkins, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
The urgent necessity for the immediate con-
struction OF a new levee in Dortch bend, Bos-
sier Parish, having arisen, and the ability of
the Bossier Levee District to provide in full for
the work being limited,
Be it Resolved, That the State be requested
to undertake the work required at Dorch bend,
applying towards the payment of said work
such funds as it may be able to allot to the dis
trict for 1907, it being understood and agreed
that any sum, or sums, over and above the
amount SO allotted, required for the completion
of the work and the fulflment of the contract,
be provided and paid by the Bossier Levee
District in cash.
Mr.. Lombard suggested that the question OF
building new evee at Curtis could be postponed
until the next regular meeting of the Board.
Mr.. McDade reported that he had collected
1910 from Mr.. A. B. Childers, being the amount
OF interest due on the note given by Mr.. Childers
and held by the Levee Board up to April 7, 1907.
He stated that Mr.. Chiders made this payment
with the request that the Board extend the notes
until April Z, 1908. On motion, Mr.. Childers was
granted extension on the two notes due by him.
Of s111.64 each, until April 7, 1908.
The bill of Mr.. Curtis for digging trees and fill
ing in on levee, amounting to Si2, was allowed and
the Secretary was authorized to issue check to Mr.
Curtis in payment of the same.
There being no further business, the meeting
adjourned.
