w. C. RAGSDALE TALKS
OF THE LEGISLATURE
viii Follow the Will of the Majority
Whether for or Against Police
Commission Law.

Bessemer, January 1.-(Special)- l Will
probably introduce several local bills at
the next session of the legislature" said
DR.. NJ. C. Ragsdale, in talking at his
home. six miles west of Bessemer.
81 hear that l will be asked to in
troduce a bill increasing the corporate
limits of Bessemer, an inferior court bill
and one to repeal the Morrow bill. All
of these | favor personally.
Concerning the live issues in refer
ence to the police commission, l intend
to follow the voice of the people. There
are two petitions being circulated, pro
and con- and | will introduce a bill
carrying out the will of the majority
either for or against"
Perhaps one of the most important
movements which DR.. Ragsdale favors
is to lend the surplus of state money
to the banks on good security. instead Of
leaving 1t in the treasurers vaults, with
guards to watch it.
"The coroner" said DIR. Ragsdale,
Ought to be licensed physician in every
county with more than 100000 population.
Not that / have any fault to find with
the present coroner, but that | believe
1t would be great saving to the county
if the coroner should be able to make
expert examinations instead of calling in
a physician
Briefly, Dr. Ragsdale favors districting
Jefferson county into four parts, from
each of which one member of the board
of revenue would be elected, and one at
large; railroad rate legislation; court
bills already published for Bessemer;
Greater Birmingham; an immigration bu-
reau; increased appropriation for public
schools and old soldiers.

Number of Both Races Yester-

Bessemer, January Booker T. WASH

spoke in the city hall of Bessemer at 10
o clock this morning. The building was
crowded to overlooking, and hundreds
were turned away from the doors. Many
white people were present.
The address was similar to that deliv-
cred in Birmingham, full of advice to his
race along peaceful and industrial lines.
DIR. Frank A. Adams, who introduced
the speaker said
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens:
I'VE have with us today man with a
message. TO my colored friends I want to
say this man is your recognized leader to-
day, and so far as I know. he has only
one living equal among your race, Will
liam H. Council of Huntsville. Hear him;
listen to him, and take heed to what he
has to say.
ITO my white friends | want to say this
man has commanded my respect, has had
my confidence, has had my sympathy, and
my bert wishes for years. And why my
my best wishes for years. And why my
my confidence? Because he never abused
it. And why my sympathy? Because he
needed it, And why my best wishes? That
he might be strengthened.
Notwithstanding race, color or previous
condition. l take pleasure in introducing
to you the orator, the scholar and edu-
Gator the philosopher and above all, the

is THE NEW PRESIDENT
Col. T. c. Bush Will Not Retire From
the Presidency Until the Arrival ct
Mr.. HoadIey-Develop-
ments Expected.

Joseph H. Hoadley, of New York, the
newly elected president of the Alabama
Consolidated Coal and Iron company, who
will succeed President T. G. Bush in that
position in a few days, will probably come
to Birmingham during the present week
or early in the coming week to make
personal inspection of the properties OF
the company in Alabama.
Mr.. Hoadley was elected president OK
the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron
company at a meeting of the directors
held in New. York, December H. lie
succeeds Col. T. G. Bush, who has re-
signed the place Mr.. Hoadley will not
formally take charge of the position un-
til he comes to Birmingham in the next
few days.
The transfer of the office was to
have been made yesterday but has been
postponed until the arrival of the new
president. Colonel Bush is making pre-
paration to transfer the control of the
business to Mr.. Hoadley.
Morris w. Bush, son of Col. T. u.
Bush, who has for some time been SUI
perintendent of the furnaces, ore mines
has been made general manager OF all
properties in Alabama and will assume
the duties of that office when Mr.. Hoad-
ley takes charge of the presidency. In
his position Morris Bush will be practlc-
ally the executive head of the corpor-
alton in the field.
While no public announcement has been
issued, it is understood that some ex-
tensive improvements will be made In
the properties of the Alabama CONSOLIDATE
ed Coal and Iron company under the
new management and these improvements
and extensions will probably be; mapped
out while Mr.. Hoadley is in the district
This will be Mr.. Hoadley's first visit
to Birmingham and it is believed that
it will result in some large develop
ments in the properties of the COM
pany of which he will become the ex-
ecutive head.

the colored people had become diseour-
aged, and that Dr. Washingtons address
would be with the object of allaying this
unrest. L will state TO you that l at
tended the meeting last night at the JEFF
ferson theater and listened with much
interest to DR.. Washington's sound,
logical and well made address and l trust
much good will result therefrom. But
will state to you that l, in connedson
with the other white people, cannot un-
derstand the cause and necessity OF the
encouragement and unrest that you state
exists among our colored population. we
have no special law or conditions to
which they could make reasonable objec-
ton. Any colored man who is obeying the
usual principles which should control
the conduct of any well-meaning citizen,
should have cause to be thankful that
he is now living in our midst. Never.
was there such an abundance OF every
variety of work offered him, never were
better wages received for labor, never
was there any freer scope for him to
follow his own inclination as to what
class of work he would take, when trans
ferring from one class of work to an
other; never were better opportunities Of
fered for them to purchase property, or
to spend their money in such ways as
their own wishes would indicate. Inc
schools are maintained in the largest
the education of negro youths, and the
freest scope is given him in the exd'-
else of his religious inclination, or the
enjoyment of his own home, whether in
fee simple or as tenant. That there
should be any friction or unrest ami
l agree with you that there is, is GER
tainly without necessity or proper cause.
That many of your people are not
using these privileges as good citizens
should, is evident, and DR.. Washppg-
tons advice to you is to root these out
and get them away, separating them
from you, if you will take it and do 1t,
/ feel sure that you will remove one
of the most vital causes for the friction
between the races. | will call your at
tention to the great number of homieides
and other extreme violations of the law,
Following DIR. Washington's advice again,
IL you will see that these are given up
to punishment, If you would encourage
one among the other regularity and con-
tinuity in work, the saving of your
earnings. the purchasing of homes and
investments in other ways. making of
yourselves good citizens, then like the
white man, YOU would fully feel what
citizenship means.
With the very best wishes for you,
your club, and all of you, and with
assurance of kind disposition, / am,
Yours very truly,
