ADDRESSES MADE AT MEETING HELD IN ESSEMER-WORD'S FUNERAL HELD IN lRONDALE. MOTHER SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Bessemer, September 1S.-(Special At the teachers meeting held this morning at the high school the plans for the com ing term were discussed and more fully outlined. The teachers were addressed by County Superintendent I. w. McAdory. Dr. J. A. B. Lovette, Superintendent A.. A. Persons, Walter S. Gilbert and others. The meeting was a success in every way and will prove an aid to the teachers throughout the coming session. Every thing Is in readiness for the opening of the schools on Monday and it is thought that the day will see the largest enroll ment in the history of the Bessemer schools.
 The funeral of P F. Word. who died yesterday morning was held today at the Irondale cemetery. The funeral process sion was one of the longest ever seen in Bessemer and large number accompa- ned the body to the grave. Mrs. Grfs- holm, the mother of the dead man, was seriously injured in Birmingham Friday while getting off train. A broken arm and more or less severe bruises were sustained and owing to the advanced age of Mrs. Chisholm, who is S4 years of age, the wounds are serious. She is at present being cared for at the home of Captain Hanby.
 Bessemer won from the Young Mems Christian association this afternoon by the score of to 1. The game was an exceedingly close one being a pitchers battle between Fancher and Redd, Fan cher having the best of 1t. The winning of this game ties Bessemer with Gras- sell for the leadership of the league, and 1t will be necessary to play series of post-season games to determine the winner of the pennant.

Good Negro Citizens.

Being a full -blooded southern man I am willing to give the negro credit for everything that is due him. When he makes a good, honest citizen of himself he should have the praise and the es- teem of his white friends and he generally gets It.
 Athens has large negro population and I am told that they are perhaps the best class in any town of the state. It is said that more than 75 per cent of them own their homes and several here are worth thousands of dollars in money and prop erty.
 The officials tell me that they have but little trouble in courts with the Athens negro, that the trouble usually comes from imported stock of itnerant negroes
 It Is matter worthy of remark that the negroes of Athens made no protest against the new constitution which dis at least one negro here voted for the constitution, knowing Its purport fully.
 With all the property and education possessed by the negroes of Athens there Is but one voter in the beat These negroes do not seem to worry about po- litical matters. They appear to be sats- fled with being allowed to own property, build their churches, get justice in the courts and live in peace with their white friends.

Starvation Hole.

A little more than two miles out from Athens on one of the new pike roads is a farm of about 16O acres that long ago got the name of "Starvation Hole"
 The land was considered worthless. No man had ever been able to make a liv- ing on it and one after another had rid himself of the White Elephant" as soon as possible The land is low and flat and is what is generally termed ''crawfish" or waxy land.
 Several years ago an Indiana Bunker named Frank Henine came to Athens to find a new home. He saw this farm and nibbled at the bait thrown out to him. To tell the story briefly the yankee was skinned" but he did not smile as he paid over the money and moved in. It is said that Dunkers neve smile. Hem line has not smiled to this day, though he Is still on the farm and holding it at SIP, 900, nearly sl1, ,O00 more than he gave for it.
 I drove by the place with my friend R. M. Rawls. One of the new pike roads runs by the door. There is every evil dence of thrift and prosperity on the place. Indeed it Is considered one of the most productive farms in the county now.
 Henline has two sons who though they have reached the years of manhood, are still standing by the old man and help him till the farm and gather the bounti- full crops. Henline and his sons are peace full and indus trious and are respected by everyone who know them.
 It is simply another case of the would be stinger being stung.

Good Water Supply.

Athens has a most excellent water sup ply, procured from a large spring near the center of the town. Considerable money is now being spent to improve the plant and increase the efficiency of the system.
 The town also operates it's own cleo trio light plant, one of the best in North Alabama. Mayor Fred Wall tells me that these two plants pay surplus to the city after having many things charged to them that do not strictly belong there. The officials and the people seem to be pleased with their operation.
 Cement sidewalks have recently been laid throughout the business section of the town and over a good part of the resident sections. The streets are kept in good condition hut they are hardly up to the standard of the country roads leading up to the town limits.

The Town Officials.

While Athens is an old town, with an element of conversation still clinging about it's institutions. the management of public affairs has been entrusted to a large degree to the young men.
