Automobile Ra(s Drivers A,
fearless Through faia|bn

The drivers In all the big automo
biles races are fatalists. Ask any one
of the fearless men who skid around
sharp corners on two wheels or take
the straightaways at speed OF hun
dred miles an hour, what are their
authorizations OF danger In race which
has been fraught with fatal accidents,
and it's ten chances to one that near
iy all will reply: "Oh, we'll, II my time

Add to this pulp one cupful of sugar, or more if the peaches need it, the juice of half a lemon, and one hint of rich cream. Freeze as any other ice cream, using three parts of cracked ice to one part of salt
 For peach sherbet, pare and stone enough peaches to make cupful and half of pulp; add the juice of three or anges and one lemon, and a sirup made by boiling one quart of water and one pint of sugar for 20 minutes. Let the sirup cool before adding the fruit juice. Freeze the same as the peach ice cream.
 For peach shortcake, prepare a good dough with three cupfuls of four half cupful of lard Cor butter), three heaping of baking powder, half tea spoonful of salt, heapng tablespoonful of sugar. and enough milk to make it soft and kneadable Roll into a round and bake it in a jelly-cake tin. Have ready about two dozen ripe and mellow neaches, pared, sliced and mixed with sugar. When the shortcake is done. split if and butter both sides while still hot. Lay one on the serving plate and cover with the peaches. Lay the other half of the shortcake on this, and cover in turn with peaches.

NO. 2 FURNACE READY
By J. F. LEE.

Bessemer, July 11-(special.) .)-Maj. R. L. Crook is in receipt of letter from the general headquarters of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans at Memphis advising him of his appointment of inspec- tor general on the staff of John w. Ap- person, commander-in-ch chief.
 The letter is written by Adjt. Gen. N. B. Forrest and expresses his high apprecia- ton of the many eourtesies extended them curing the recent reunion.
 Major Crook is commander of the Stonewall Jackson camp of Sons of Vet erans at Bessemer and was very active in his efforts to make it a royal time for both the veterans and sons during their visit to this district. He fully appreciates the honor that is conferred on him in this appointment, and while he has not yet ex- pressed himself as to whether or not he will accept he is believed by his friends to be too enthusiastic a son to decline the honor.
 Major Crook gained his title during the Spanish-American war while enlisted with the Third Mississippi regiment, and he manifests much interest in all military affairs.

New County Movement.


 A committee, consisting of three of Bes- semer's most prominent citizens, has been busy today soliciting subscriptions to the campaign fund for carrying the work in the interest of the Ragsdale amend ment. As is known, this amendment pro- yides for the adding of new counties in the state where they can be found with an area of 600 square miles without re- ducing any adjoining county to an area of less than 600 square miles.
 One of the best informed men in the county, who has been closely identified with it's affairs for the past 20 years, in speaking of the new county movement to a close personal friend gave the following views
 'I have talked to representative men from almost every beat In Jefferson coun- ty during the last two months, and my candid opinion Is that Jefferson county will go for the amendment by at least 1000 majority.
 "The executive committee has sent out literature into every county in the state, and the reports that they are re- ceiving from their friends and constitu- ents are most encouraging. I have no doubt left in my mind but that the amendment will carry in the November election"
 Showing another citizen an article ax- pressing a slight criticism against the movement he said that there were some men, of course, against 1t, but that when the merits of the amendment were shown them many would no longer oppose 1t, but to the contrary would lend 1t thelr ardent support.
 hox Inc had success today, the people whom they ap- preached having contributed literally.
