 In reply to all questions as to the nature of the confab, they were lust talking over the situation.

Birmingham his plan of skyscFaper. with courthouse below. and the jail in the upper stories, meets with approval, sc much 90 that its ;construction is probable. he says. . Or. Bush states thats, tho prison at Birmingham was far deficient from the tary. as well as offering opportunities of escape. A new jail will be recon- mended in his report, and the sky scraper plan will be endorsed.
 pr. Bush fayors the combination courthouse and jail. inasmuch as such construction renders immunity from mob violence, as well as prevents es- cape. anJ,is expeditious and. convenient. Model ventilation. he says. can be thus acquired. and. with . roof garden, to which the prisonsrg can have free ac- cess. there will be none of the bad re- suits. that come from lack of fresh afr and sunshine.
 The jail in Birmfngham is situated In the hearto the city. adjacent to the church district, and occupying valu- able property. With tho construction of the skyscraper upon tho court house property Dr. Bush believes that every objection to the location of the jail will be eliminated.
 In Tuscaloosa. also. new jail was recommended. Gaining. audience be- fore the county commfssiorsers, pr. Bush received assurance that the new prison house will be constructed.
 The trip extended to the Avondaie cotton mill, and to the cotton mills of Tuscaloosa. upon both. of which Dr.. Bush will make . report within the week.

BEssEMER 10 CELEBRATE
 s. TWENTY-SEc0ND BIRTHDAY

Birmingham. April S12-(speciai)-- Bessemer commences the twenty third years of ita existence. Tuesday, April IS. having been founded on April 12. 1887. by Henry F. DeBardeieben.
 So much has been written of Besse- mer and her history of late years that there is but little than, cah be said at this time unless 1t is In a prophetic spirit. It's development during its twenty-five years has been wonderful and reads. more like q fairy tale than history. and. the progreas it is maxine at this time despite ldebression is con sidered equally remarkable.
 The twonty-aecond year of the hiss tory of Bessemsr has been 6 peculiar one fraught with strikingly gratifying ana disappointing features. < Of the old adage of not crying over spiltmiik and stiii cherish their ambition for new county hohors.
 of the former. there is In evidence one of the most magnificent high school buildings in the State. gem of modern architecture and credit to any city. An equally as splendid goy- ernrnsnt buildiAg is about complete, strsets have been improved. new dwell ilngs erected. business blocks improv- cd and in fact many signs of an shid- ing faith of a'patrdotic people on every hand.
 This coming year, however. it fs really thought will be the banner one in the history of the city. The business section is to, bs paved. and there are substantial indications of more indus trial development than el any former time save the first year of the town.
 The, developments credited to->nr. Grove, for which Q large tract of land has been purchased. is anticipated. The construction of the Tidewater Railroad is another probability. The Bessemer Soil Pipe Company is doubling It's ca pacity. A large concern. it ls under stood. has definitely chosen this city for big investment for the manufact- tlre of enameiware.
 Apart from this. there is conslder- able inquiry regarding this section from which 1t is expected something good win niaterialixs.
 Taking, ali ttiugs into confederation. the twsnty-third year of Bessemer en- ters very auspiciously ana full of promise. and the people here are very eP@es@@A~-Ss
