BADHAM TALKS ON BESSEMER' FUTURE Favors Park As Site for the
 New School COUCNlL CAUCUS PLANNED Winters and Lewis Are Now the Only Candidates For Presidency of the
 Council-Personal and Gen.
 eral News of Bessemer.
COUCNIL CAUCUS PLANNED

Bessemer March 5.-(Special.)- .)-H. L. Badham, president of the Bessemer Coal Iron and Land company was in the city this afternoon looking after the, in- terests of his company. MT. Badham, from what he says, seems to be under the impression that the dull season that has existed in Bessemer for the past few months is about to come to close ana he furthermore stated that he saw no reason why the end of the present year should not show good business for all the merchants.
 AS president of the land company MT. Badham was approached some few days ago by Mayor Rush and Dr. Robinson of the board of education with reference to getting the use of the city park as Il site for the new school building which is causing so much talk in the city. It will be recalled that MT. Badham stated to these gentlemen that the land com pany would be more than glad to let the city have the use of the park for school purposes. In this connection he stated that he believed that 1t would be a good thing for the council to accept the offer of the company and erect the school building on the ground where the park is now situated. He said that instead of paying out $2500 or 5000 for tract of land on which to erect the school the city could use the park and use that amount of money or as much more as they could afford to buy tract of land on the outskirts of the city. He stated that of course land at the present time was quite high, buts he believed that it would be to the best interest of the city to purchase a little land at one time and have it improved.
 It is a well-known fact that the park cannot be used as a school site unless the adjacent property owners should give their consent As far as the land com pany is concerned they can give the city a quit claim deed to the property and that will end it as far as they are con cerned, The city can be enjoined from using the land for any other purpose than as a park from the fact that when the land company turned that particular piece of property over to the city the map of Bessemer showed that it was marked park and of course that meant that it was for the use of the public and as public property neither the city nor the land company has any right to use it for any other purpose.
 MT. Badham took all of these things into consideration, and he stated that even at that, he thought it would be good thing for the city to use the park a a school site.
 When he was approached on the sub ject of the city buying the water works. he stated that he believed that it would be good thing, inasmuch as the longer the city delayed the purchase of the holdings of the water works company the higher the price would be, from the fact that every time a house was built it meant just little more in water rent for the company.

PIG IRON IN ONLY
 MODERATE DEMAND
MARCH STARTS OFF WITH QUIET
 USlNESS-SALES IN SMALL i LOTS-FEBRUARY ToTALED 1 CONSIDERABLE TONNAGE. =

The Birmingham pig iron market has not been active this week, but several contracts for 400 to 5oO-ton contracts have been closed and the tonnage business for the past few days makes a respectable total. The Tennessee company, the sloss- Sheffield company and some of the other concerns are maintaining a SIS schedule.
 The Sloss-Sheffield company had accu- muIated about 6O0O0 tons on it's yards at Sheffield and Florence, but as 1t has sold something like 5000 tons since the hoh- days, a large part of which was sold 1n February. deliveries are going forward and stocks are being fast reduced. At Birmingham the Sloss stocks on the yards North Birmingham and city. combined amount now to only a little more than BOO tons.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report flor the current week says:
 Practically no change is noticeable from conditions of a week ago. There is the same general run of small business for prompt shipment and little or no en- coura cement on the part of buyers to- ward interest in larger quantity for more extended period. Such buying has been done by the pipe works and one or two of the larger industries, but is not yet of a general nature. The business done during February totaled up very respectable tonnage, and the month prob ably figured out a larger percentage of shipments against sales than any month in years. Consumption among general foundry trade is proceeding at about the same rate and stocks on consumers yards are being depleted wherever 1t is possible 1C do so One or two fair-scized inquiries have developed and the tonnage is still pending. There are so many factors which enter into the pig iron situation at the present time that it is hard to figure what the immediate future mas in store. hut it is confidently believed that a slow and gradual improvement will mark the development during the next few months.
 Coke Is in fair demand and prices are ruling the same, with production only slightly changed The movement of coke from the varisus districts seems to be satisfactory. but there is a large tonnage due on contracts which will probably go forward at an early date. The present figures on the best grades of coke from all the districts are such to encourage contracting, and a fair business has been done. This has been the result more of confidence in the future and present low range of prices than actual business in sight.

CAUCUS To Be Held-

A caucus will be held at the city hall tomorrow evening and at that time it is supposed that all of the members of the council will be present and the matter of electing president of the council under the new code will be decided upon.
 Alderman Joe Winters will be a candl- date for the presidency as will also AL derman Lewis, Alderman Edmundson, the third man, having withdrawn from the race. As a president pro tenn can be eletced it is believed that MT. Edmundson will be elected to this office. As a mat ter of fact both of the men that are in the race are hard ones to beat. Dr. Whit CTS is one of the best known physicians in the district. He IS public spirited socially popular, a good business man and enjoys one of the largest practices in the city. He was elected to the Board of AL dermen without an effort and he has proven beyond doubt since he has been on the board that he is the man that can be depended upon to hold down any pub lie office to which he Is elected with much credit both to himself and the city.
 MT. Lewis, the other candidate, is one of the best known business men in Bes- semer and is man of sterling character He has been connected with the city for a number of years in the capacity of al- derman and during all of these years he has never failed to give satisfaction He is also secretary of the Board of Educa- tfon and he has given much time and thought to this work and is one of the most popular members of the board
 The fight promises to be a warm one and the outcome will be awaited with much interest

ranks of the democratic party up to the firing line, while 1t has separated the re- publican reformers from the republican stand-patters. The fight for supremacy Tn the republican party is bitter one ana whichever side wins the other side will be disgruntled As the republicans used one faction of the democratic party to defeat us in 1896 we shall return the com pliment this year and use one part or the republican party to defeat the other' for it Is so hopelessly divided that 1t cannot be trusted to do anything at pres ent.
 'rhe third cause for hope IS to De found in the moral awakening. Never within a generation has there been such d stirring of conscience and the sense or justice inherent in the people has been made sensitive to the democratic appeal which is essentially an appeal for justice. The democratic party has been dolhg pioneer work and now it will enjoy the gratitude and the appreciation showered upon the pioneer when the character of his work is fully understood

Will Hold Meetino

Chairman Huffman of the democratic executive committee has called a meet ing for tomorrow evening and it is be- lleved that all of the members will be on hand as the date for the primary will be set It Is supposed that the committee has been waiting to see whether or not the new code was going to be adopted by the city of Bessemer, and since it has been learned that such is the case the committee will now be enabled to get down to business and let the public know just what they intend doing. Up to this tune they nave done nothing, but this was to be expected, as most of them were new in the business and they were desirous of creating good impression.
 Up to date they seem to be decided only upon one thing, and that is that the pri- mary be held at an early date. This is thought to be good idea as everyone is anxious to have the primary over with.
