CARPENTER DEAD BY FALL

Ensley, March Especial )-August Ensley and Pratt City, died this after noon about 6:30 o'clock at the family residence in Frenchtown. Mir Fayett has been in failing health for some time. be- ing sufferer from kidney trouble His death came unexpectedly, however. as a few hours before his death he was np and about. His end was peaceful appar- ently having passed away while sleeping. MT. Fayett was probably the wealthiest man in this section of the county, having large property interests in Ensley and Pratt City, and had also considerable holdings in Birmingham.
 He was born in Paris 67 years ago and came to Pratt City in 1882. He worked in the mines and by careful living aa- cumulated money and property. buying several acres of land, now known as Frenchtown. Though man of limited education, he was possessed of business sagacity to a marked degree, and by judi cious investments acquired a Harge for tune. He was one of the first investors to grasp the future possibilities of Ems ley, buying largely when the property was first placed on the market. That he did not err in his judgment is evidenced by the fact that he owned some of the pest business property in Ensley.
 MT. Fayett was twice married. both wives being dead. He is survived by seven grown children, Mrs. S. J. Rutledge. Mrs. Ernest Mott. Mrs. Charlie Allen, Mrs. Henry Bessere. M. A. Fayett, Henry Fayett and T. A. Fayett
 He was member of Jefferson Valley Lodge No. S5. I. o. o. F., and belonged to several French societies. Interment will be made at Pratt City, the date not yet being set

MORE CANDIDATES
 OUT IN BESSEMER
WARM CONTESTS ARE PROMISED FOR SOME OF THE CITY OF FICES-ANOTHER SITE SUG- GESTED FOR SCHOOL.

Bessemer, March 5-(Special )-Poli- ties in Bessemer give great promise of livening up considerably within the next few days, and 'even now there are a good many candidates out for the different offices. Up to date the following have lined up for offices and it Is a matter of regret that they cannot all be elected to the offices which they are so desirous of filling. There are just two men that are running for offices that up to date have no opposition and they are Mayor Rush and Clerk Stubbs. Chief Wallace wants to be chief again. and it has been conceded that while he has been criticised by good many of his best friends during his term of office, the fact remains that he is hard to beat and the very people who criticise him usually go to the polls and vote for him.
 Will Crawford, G. B. Minge& and D. B. Barnett will run for the office Of day warden There is no one out for the position of night warden from the fact that the executive committee has decided to leave this matter up to the council for appointment.
 Steve Duricll is a candidate for alder man from the Fourth ward. Percy Ben ton, T. J. Batson, R. J. Miller and B. I. Allinder will run for alderman from the First ward. Each of these gentle men is well known and 1t Is believed that the race in this particular ward will be hard fought one.
 It is believed that the race for presi- dent of the council will be between l. A. Lewis and Edgar L. Mitchell It was understood some time ago that Charles Nolan would run for one of the offices, but 1t has since been learned that he has moved out of the city.
 It is reported that Chief Wallace will have a good deal of opposition, but just at this time it is not known who will come out against him.
 Another School Site.
 It appears that s,uce the school com mittee met on Thur day afternoon and picked out two sites to recommend to the council for school purposes another one has loomed up and this it seems is good one. The property In question is owned by Robert Mingea and is situated on the corner of Berlsly avenue and Seventeenth street.
 The property Is 150x140 feet and it is believed by a good many people that 1t would be an ideal location. In fact, at the present time it appears to be one of the most desirable sites that the city could possibly get for this purpose. It is not known what the committee will recommend. When the committee met on Thursday afternoon and looked over the various sites offered, they recom- mended the site on Sixteenth street and Third avenue and the Johnson property on Berkly avenue and Nineteenth street It is understood that MT. Johnson has since made up his mind that he does not care to dispose of his property and this will naturally mean that there will be other holdings to be considered before the deal is finally closed.
