NEW CODE WILL
 AFFECT BESSEMER
POLITICIANS ARE ALREADY DlS- GUESSING CHANGES THAT WILL BE MADE-PERsoNAL AND GEN. ERAL NEWS OF BEssEMER.

Bessemer July 19.-(Special)-The new municipal code as passed by the legisla- ture has changed the face of politics in this city, as it has done in many others. Mayor-elect Walter l.. Rush, who goes into office on the 1st of October, will only hold 1t for one year instead of two, and another election will take place in l9S. The code not only shortened the mayor s term, but it has an effect on the board of education as well. The members of the board will hold office for one, two, three, four and five years, Respectively, and one member will be elected each succeeding year. The school funds are now being handled by the city council, but this will be changed, and the board will look after the funds. A president of the council will have to be elected and the mayor will be invested with the power of veto. The new ruling is causing considerable discus sion, and Bessemer will be in the midst of another political struggle just one year sooner than it expected.

GENERAL FRIDGE
 NOW AT COLUMBUS
EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR MILITARY EN- CAMPMENT IN ORDER TO TAKE WORK OFF OF SOLDIERS.

Columbus, AIiss -tSpeciaL)- Adjutant General Arthur Fridge ana Major Walthau Nall of Jackson, Miss.' arrived in Columbus yesterday morning and will remain in the city until after the close of the encampment. Ihese two gentlemen, in company With capt. James F. Pope of Columbus, spent last night at the camp grounds and were out bright and early this morning experimenting large force Of Work- men in preparing the camp grounds. These three officers will spend their entire time at the camp and will nave active charge of all arrangements TOT the encampment Today a surveyor IS going over the field and laying orr company sites and streets; locating all kitchens, etc.. and by nightfall the en- tire camp will be staked off. Every thing will be put in the very best possible condition and few days be- fore the time for the boys to arrive the work of pitching the tents will be- gin.
 When the boys get to Columbus on the 9th of August all they will have to do is walk right into the camp in the places provided for them and be- gin the regular army life as soon as they arrive. Major John P. Mayo says that the object of making all these arrangements Is for the members or the guard to have just as much time in army detail of camp life as possible and it will obviate all the useless waste of time that the soldiers have formerly been required to spend in preparation of their own camp grounds pitching tn cir own tents, etc. The flag pole has been placed in posi- tion and it is 106 feet from the ground to the top. It is easily seen from a long distance
 From the interest manifested in the encampment here the town people will do all in their power to make the gath ering a notable one and from the reports coming in from all parts of the state it appears that a record d-break- ing crowd of visitors will be here for all the festivities incidental to the eD- campment. About fifteen hundred soldiers are expected to be in camp the entire tn days.

the decision of the attorney general of it's state without contest.
 There are several life insurance companies doing business in Alabama chartered under the laws of southern states that are doing successful busi- ness without the issue of the board contract or agency stock proposition In as much as the department has for mally and officially notified the State Mutual Life Insurance company of Rome, that it's stock can no longer be issued in this state until the courts or the legislature of Georgia or the courts or the legislature of this state legalize such practice, the department feels called upon to take such steps in it's judgment may seem necessary to forcibly carry out it's directions in this regard, and after the publication of this notice should any one write the department that stock has been sold. parties selling such stock will be held responsible to the department for violation of these instructions"
