 Retirement From The Race
By FRANK V. EVANS.

indorsement by his fellow democrats in every county in this district. While the odds for success at this time might have been against him, under pressure of the idea that long tenure of congressional office gives strength to an occupant, yet the platform upon which he placed his candidacy was superbly constructed, dem- ocratic every plank and joint, and a re- proach to some attempted departures from the faith of the fathers.
 MT Davis is in the vigor of young man. hood, and his present waiting adds laurels to his ambition, and will make him stronger still when his fellow citizens may in the future call upon him to serve them in the councils of the nation. He retires with the best of spirit, good will toward all, resentment or i'll feeling to- ward none.
 Following is the card issued today by MT. Davis:
 ITO the Democracy of the Sixth Con-
 gressional District of Alabama:
 Reports from friends in the various counties of the district show that the is- sues upon which the congressional race was pitched and should be made are over shadowed by the gubernatorial fight, and impress me that I cannot win at this time. Under such conditions duty to my friends, as I see 1t, demands that they be released from further efforts in my behalf. With good wishes for all. I there fore retire from the contest, feeling deep ly grateful to those who have aided or encouraged me and fully determined to reciprocate whenever opportunity permits Very respectfully, W. c. DAVIS"

 Unique Baby Show
STORE ROBBED OF S1oo

Bessemer, March 24.-(Special. )-work has begun today on the contemplated improvements on the city jail. A force of men is tearing out the interior wood work of the jail and clearing the way for the iron cages which are to be in stalled. It will be remembered that at last meeting of the council the sanitary condition of the jail was brought up and referred to the sanitary committee, the chief of police. and the city engineer with power to act. They have decided to adopt practically all the recommends tions of the police committee and have planned quite extensive Improvements. The most needed addition to the jail will be large bath tub with a 40-gallon tank. having both hot and cold water. The lack of a bath tub has been a worry to the wardens for some time and they state that the insanitary condition of the jail was due in a large measure to this.
 "It is practically impossible to keep the cells clean," said Warden Mingea, when there are prisoners kept there sometimes for months with no opportunity to take a bath. The installation of iron cages is a very wise move on the part of the city and will add In comfort to the prisoners and to the amount of work that they can do. We have two iron cells with Iron hunks and the prisoners are all en- vious to be put in these cells. The beds are an especially good feature. They can neither be broken, defaced or other wise injured and are much more comfort obI ha oJI Tba oJf oh have made these Improvements some time ago and conditions would not have reached the present state.'
