BESSEMER TO VOTE
ON PAVING STREETS
Ordinance VIII Be Submitted to

HEAVY TAX PAYMENTS

Bessemer. February 1-(Special) Am or
dinance TO pave First Second and Third
avenues and Nineteenth street will be in
troeuced at the meeting of the City Coun-
ell which is to be held on Tuesday even
ing.
This matter has been given considerable
attention by Mayor Rush, and he believes
that 1t will be one of the best moves the
city has ever made This matter has
been discussed for some time and of
course, there will no doubt develop
great deal of opposition to it in some
quarters. As one citizen, who is very
much in favor of it, stated today, there
can always be found property owners who
would like to see the value of their prop
erty increase, but when it comes down TO
paying for it, it is another matter, and
they are right there with the kicks. No
doubt there will be good crowd on hand
at the meeting Tuesday evening to enter
a protest against the paving proposition,
but If the ordinance does go through, and
the above named streets are paved, 1t
will add great deal to the looks of the
streets that are in the principal section
In the city. 1t has been pointed out by a
good many people that a city the size of
Bessemer should have paved streets, and
1t is believed that when the council does
go after it like it means business that
the opposition that is supposed TO arise at
the time can be knocked down.

ROB GOVERNMENTS
NEW WATCHWORD
TERRORIST MEN, WOMEN AND
CHILDREN AID IN LooTING VII
LAGES OF THE CARS DOMAIN.
VENGEANCE is SWIFT.


st. Petersburg, February Especial
cable 1.-THE government robs the peo-
pie; the people are now going to rob
the government" That was the only
defense put up by Stanislaus Chmielnikoff,
Pole, arrested and condemned to death
at Tula-near where Count Tostoi lives
after long series of successful terrorist
robberies.
Chmielnikoff' epigram, says the reac-
uonary press, is the watohword Of the
degenerated revolution. The opposition
retorts that there is no other way of
fighting the victorious autocrats, that
terrorist robberies will continue and in
crease until the people again find them
selves strong enough to begin more
effectual campaign.
Armed robberies, in town and village,
are daily reported from all parts of the
empire. The official telegraph agency
published a list two-thirds of a column
long on one day. The Russ affirmed that
the official agency was suppressing half
the truth, and proved it by extending the
list to over two columns.
The terrorist robbers work with bombs
and revolvers. Their ranks contain men,
women, and even children. They direct
travelling tax collectors, state liquor
shops, and only occasionally against rich,
landowners notorious for their reactionary
activity.
Swift /and indiscriminate vengeance Is
melted out without delay. On last Satur-
day, of II robbers seized In various por-
lions of the empire, fourteen, includ-
ing girl of Is, were hanged within 50
hours.
At Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia, five terror
list bandits armed with bombs. attacked
a grain magazine AS they made off the
police surrounded them. A fight ensued.
Three were shot dead A fourth was bay
onetted through the lungs; the fifth shot
in both legs. Instead of being brought to
a hospital, the wounded men were
dragged bleeding before drum-head
courtmartial, sentenced to immediate
death and hanged.
Khabarovsk has become robber repub-
lie. According to the courtmartial, which
sentenced nine men to death in half an
hour, 1.-The distritc is divided into robbers
and men who sympathize with robbery"
The nine robbers were sentenced to be
hanged at in the morning. AT u o'clock
three cheated death by opening their
veins. The guards heard the commotion
among the survivors, rushed in, and
bound them, and to prevent them Initial
ing their comrades, hanged them one by
one to a bracket in the cell.
At Plock an old woman of 60 Joined
robber band and shot a policeman in the
middle of the town. She was hanged three
days later. The rest of the band, with
the old woman's son, seized the two
policemen who had arrested her, and
drowned them in a well.
Thus the terrible feud continues. Not
one captured robber escapes the gallows.
Not one uncaptured robber gives mercy to
his prisoners.

Police Business Picking Up.

Business in police circles up to last
Monday had been exceptionally dull for
the entire month, but when 1t started
there was lots doing. 1t became very
noticeable when the weather commenced
to get cold, and in addition that rainy
spell was something to make the heart
of anybody grow cold. Then is when
the black birds got busy and the coal
piles commence to dwindle. This was
true, especially of persons who lived any
where near the rolling mill quarters. The
negroes in that section would go on still
hunts every evening for coal and occa-
sionally a lone chicken would be found
up on top of the coal. In that case
double haul was made and the Golfers
of the coal dealers dwindled rapidly as
a result. 1t got to be so bad that it
was thought advisable to station a man
over there all the time and let him see
If he could not check the coal off as 1t
was taken away. However. some of the
officers did manage to get busy and
several negroes were put in jail for rob-
bing coal cars and anything else that
they could get their mits on.
The house robbing business has be-
come an old gag, and no one is sur
prised when it is stated that some
house has been broken into. In the
past two weeks there have been at least
a dozen robberies of this kind, but in
most cases the officers were able to
catch the offenders. Several of them
got away but things are getting so
hot for them it is hardly possible that
they can stay out of the clutches of
the law much longer. 1t appears that
when Mayor Rush walked into police
court this morning, he was surprised
to see SO many prisoners lined up for
trial. There were actually seven on
hand. That is supposed to be a large
number, but three months ago there
used to be from 15 to 80 all the time.
Now everything around the jail is
still and there is little business of in
terest going on. The police depart
ment has gotten so hot on the trail of
the house breakers that it is believed
that they will be put out of business
within short time.

Laughter and Digestion.

OriSon S. Marden in Success Magazine.
That normal mind is really basis of
good digestion is shown by the remark
able sensitiveness4 Of the digestive pro-
cesses to mental conditions Sudden sor-
row, bad news, disaster, great loses of
property or friends, great disappoint-
ments or worry not only arrest all the d.
gestive processes, but even suspend the
formation of the gastric juice.
1t has been shown that when the gas
trio follicles are distended and the gas
tric juices flowing freely from them when
one is hungry and eating with great rel
ish, the sudden receipt of bad news COM
pletely reverses the digestive processes.
The gastric glands Immediately become
parched, dry, feverish and food will re-
main in the stomach for many hours with
the digestive process absolutely sus-
pended.
The digestion seems to be dependent
upon the condition Of the. mind. Often
our passing moods hasten or retard d.
gestion.
We often hear people, especially deli
cate women who have nervous dyspepsia,
say that they do not understand how 1t
Is that they can go out to late suppers or
banquets and eat heartily all sorts of in
congruous foods without feeling any
Inconvenience afterwards.
They do not realize that 1t is due to the
change in the mental attitude They have
had a good time; they have enjoyed them
selves. The lively conversation, the jokes
which caused them to laugh heartily, the
bright, cheerful environment completely
changed the mental attitude, and, of
course, these conditions We're reflected in
the digestion and every other part of the
system. Laughter and good cheer are

will divert the dyspeptic's mind from his
ailments will improve his digestion. When
they were at home worrying over their
health, swallowing little dyspepsia with
every mouthful of food, of course these
women could not assmilate their food.
But when they were having a jolly good
time. they forgot their ailments and were
surprised afterwards to- find that they
had enjoyed their food. The whole pro-
cess is mental.
People who go to health resorts at
tribute their improvement to change of
air or to the waters they drink, when, as
matter of fact, 1t has probably been
wrought by change of environment
change of mental suggestion, as much as
by the change of air or water.
Spring waters, mountain or sea air,
often get great deal of credit which Is
due to recreation-good, wholesome fun
When people go away on vacations or
little outings they go for the purpose Of
enjoying themselves, and, of course, they
are benefited.

Tax Books Close.

The poll tax books which have been
open in the office of Lee Moody e. Co.,
for the convenience of those people that
could not spare the time to make the
trip to Birmingham to pay their taxes,
closed this evening About rs people came
up and paid that had not paid any poll
taxes in several years. Some of them
paid for as many as four years. 1t Will
be seen from the above that the idea
OF being in a position to vote when the
time comes around is growing stronger
each day, and one of the gentlemen in
charge of the books stated this after
noon that when the people came in this
year to pay their taxes, it appeared that
they were glad to do it, and there was
less discussion regarding the amounts
than has been the custom in the past few
years.
The fact that the books were open in
the office of Moody & Co., has been gen
orally advertised and those who failed
to come up can only have themselves
to blame when the time comes to vote
If they are unable to-do. so.
