BESSEMER WORKS
 ON NEW COUNTY
CLUB ADVANCES REASONS FOR ASKING THE CHANGE-LIGHT- MING DAMAGES PLANTS ABOUT BESSEMER.

Bessemer, July 13.-(Special.)- )-As July 27 approaches the interest in the fight for the new county grows. There are a number of reasons why a new county should be created out of DOT tions of Jefferson, Tuscaloosa, Bibb and Shelby counties advanced by the New County club and the citizens in mer and the country immediately sur rounding the city. Some of the argu- ments advanced by the club are:
 Citizens living in the northern part of Shelby are put to great inconven fence to get to the courts at Colum- biana and are forced to travel a dis tance of some miles through the country to the railroad and then to go in a roundabout way by Birmnham, Calera and from Calera to Zolumbiana. This makes a distance of about 105 miles and causes much unnecessary expense and loss of time for those forced to come to the call of the court. counties and local citizens claim new county with Bessemer as the county seat would do away with these condi- tions. The making of Bessemer a county seat, it is said, would greatly benefit both Bessemer and Birming- ham as the great majority of those who had business in Bessemer would go on into Birmingham and would spend money there, thus benefiting both cities. The proposed territory to be
 included in the new county would in no way injure the old counties they would not be near the limits set by the legislature of Alabama for a county. The territory to be taken from Jeffer- son alone pays one-third of the taxes paid in the county and the new county entire would have a population of over 50 ,000 and an assessed valuation of over 0,00O,000. The citizens in this territory say that 1t Is but just and right for the people in this part of the stA te to have new county.
 The campaign committee Is quietly working in preparation for the coming session of the legislature and while they expect a hard fight they are con- fdent of success. The citizens are in movement and are supporting them in every way possible. There has not been a movement in which the same unanimity has been shown by the peo- pie. The interest is intense and the citizens await the action of the legis- lature with the keenest anticipation.
