 solicits Identification.

-dayor Teague last night presented his annual message to the City Coun. ell at It's regular meeting. containing condensed reports of the various de- partments of the city for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1908. Add. ed to these reports were his annual re. commentators relative to the various departments.
 On account of the illness of the City Clerk. and delay in the transmission of the report of the Superintendent of the City Water Works, no reconnmen- dattons were made in these two de- partments.
 By far the largest comment Is made upon the Department of Engineering. The message calls attention to the fact that despite the financial depression of last winter, an immense volume of work has been done in the matter of civic improvement to the great ad- Yancement of the city. It is stated that the work of the year has been characterized by large building opera tions, paving sidewalks and streets. bridging the Genetta Ditch in the southern section of the city, and the building of storm sewers. The atten-

 The Sanitation Department is con- graduated on the success of It's work during the year. A recommendation is made for the purchase of a street flushing machine. made necessary through the increased paying accom- plished.
 The Department of Police is congrat- ulated on its rigid enforcement of the vagrancy law and its all-around efi- ciency. The Fire Department is also The expense of the department is giv- attention is called to the fact that this department has received a reduc- tion in the basic rate of fire insur- Rnce.
 In the Department of Cemetery, the beauty of the grounds is alluded to, and the executive solicits that all wo- men interested in the Identification of the City of the Dead" redouble their efforts tn this important branchs of civic improvement.
 The stock of the city is reported to be In excellent condition, but no re. commentators are made in this de. partment. The legal department and the department of market arc also operation of, their departments dur ing the past year.

WHAT IS

after the Bessemer County has been formed, more than enough to make two counties of 600 square miles each, MT. Moody proposes to override 1t all and join the Birmingham hot-air band of twenty. And 1t is said that this hot air band can control few of the citi- gems of Walker County, but 1t is pre- dicted that there is too much patriot ism in Walker County for the club to control.
 This Birmingham political machine has been riding and ruling the politi- cal destiny of the many thousands of our fellow citizens that reside within the Bessemer territory untll 1t seems they have lost all the patriotism they ever had. Their selfish desire to rule has buried their patriotism and loy- atty to the State so deep until It seems that every trace of it has been oblit- erated.
 And to read between the lines. 1t seems that there must be another po- litical saddle they are trying to mount. The United States census will be taken again in 1910, and then if the Besse- mer County Is not formed, Jefferson will have representatives in the Leg islature running away up into the teens, and these will have to be drawn from the representatives of the other counties of the State. and she will also have delegates in State Conven- tions that will reach near tho hundred mark, and with this power, judging from the past, they would. if they could. having the trading power, con- trol the political machinery of the State.
 This prediction is not made for the purpose of. and 1t iB not Intended in any sense, to prejudice the State or any part of 1t against the County of Jefferson or her people, but 1t is a matter that affects and concerns the State. and the people nave a right to know about these things in consider ing such questions as the one In hand.
 The idea Is to let the people rula." Let the people say whether not the present conditions shall con tinue any longer.

 We stated our case plainly. We bought the Wells Piano Co.'S entire stock at great discount. There are several makes included In the stock that we will not handle. and. as we have our money tied up in them we de- eided to close them out at cost, get rid of them quickly and give the buy CTS the beneht of the discounts.
 Indeed. in many instances the prices at which these pianos are marked means an actual loss to us. But we knew there could be no half-hearted reduction made. We know the actual money saving must be 50 apparent the most skeptical would be convinced.
 So we laid the knife to the root of prices and spared it not. With us now 1t is simply "close out every cne of these pianos, and do 1t in a hurry"
 That the callers at this sale appre- ciats the chance given them Is evil depced by the large number Of pianos that are taken daily.

INDIAN BILL IN SENATE.
Methods Of Procedure Changed at In
stance OF Mr.. Teller.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Indian
appropriation bill when brought into
the senate today, gave rise to an eX-
tended debate on the methods that
have prevailed in the constellation OF
such measures. After the first reading
of the bill had by unanimous consent
been passed over, and the reading
OF the amendments was begun, Sen
ator Teller objected to the proceed
ings, and finally the unanimous agree
ment was set aside and the reading
Of the bill was preceded with, while
but half a dozen senators We're in
their seats.
Commenting on the Indians as
perhaps a dying race. Mr., Teller de-
clared he could open up a scandal
touching the Indians that would as
tonish the American people, adding
later that he did not refer to any
thing in the present bill.
Il refer" he said, ito legislation
enacted years ago, and the execution
of that legislation by the department
charged with that duty"
Mr.. Teller declared that Indian
bills have in the past been put
through the senate loaded down with
new legislation that should never
have been adopted.
81 have determined, so far as ! am
concerned" said he, that what little
effort | can make will be TO rectify
the wrongs we have committed to
ward these Indians"
general discussion followed, par
ticipated in By Senators Clapp, chair
man of the Indian committee; Hale
Frye, Curtis, Tillman and Bacon. Mr.
Curtis, who boasts of Indian blood
and who is a member of the commit
tee, said he was particularly proud OF
the bill before the senate, and it was
surely a better measure for the In
dams than had ever been passed b!
congress.
