Jonesboro on Eve of Live
Political Campaign
BY JACK BETHEA

Bessemer, June 1S.-(Special THE re-
sumption of the Sloss mines two weeks
ago seemed to give a new impetus to the
dull conditions in the Bessemer district.
and in the short time many encoura gng
reports have come to Bessemer 1t is ru-
mored that one or two furnaces of the
tennessee company that were shut down
about month ago will resume During the
period of inactivity both furnaces have
been thoroughly overhauled and repaired
until they are In first class condition. In
addition they have been repainted
throughout The resumption of these fur
naces would mean a great deal TO the
Bessemer working people, as it would put
large number of men to work that are
idle at present If the furnaces do not
resume at present it is expected that they
will be blown in by July l.
A proposition that will give work to
many men in the district is the bi-product
plant that will be erected for the Wood
ward Iron company. The contractors
have orders to rush the work and they
will need a large number of men, One
has already asked for 500 laborers 1t is
winter. The contracts were secured by
the following firms: Grading and excava-
ton, c. B. Parsons, Bessemer, and Mar
tin of Woodlawn; concrete work, Sullivan
& Long of Bessener The contract as a
whole was secured by the H. Koppers
company of Joliet, ILL.,
1t is also stated that the Veiteh-Mat
thews Engine company's foundry will be
erected in the near future and the board
OF trade has received such assurance II
will be remembered that the board Sc
cured very valuable site for the plant
some months ago. The Matthews engine
has been severely tested and has success
fully stood all examinations. 1t is thought
that it will prove of great value to the
district to have the plant located in Bes-
semer.
The Bessemer Soil Pipe company. the
Central Foundry company, the United
States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry COM
pany, and other smaller plants are send
ing out goodly shipment of pipe every
week to points in the west and east. If
Is estimated there are enough orders
booked to run the plants for the remain
der of the summer All in all, the indus
trial conditions have frightened consider
ably since the resumption of the Sloss
mines and local men who keep in touch
with things industrial expect to see nor
NAL conditions return before the winter

Jonesboro Politics Active

There are faint rumblings in the direc-
ton of Jonesboro and by these and other
signs the Bessemer residents are given
to understand that their neighbor is in
the throes of a political campaign like
unto that which is engulfing Bessemer
The matter will probably come to head
on next Wednesday night when there
will be mass meeting of citizens 10
elect an executive committee, who Will
have full charge of the election. There
is great interest in the mass meeting
and brisk fight is promised for the
places on the committee. The committee
win get together promptly and decide
whether the election shall be held by
primary or mass meeting. They will APP
point a day for the primary or the cleo
ton and after that it will be in charge
OF the committee.
There are two races in Jonesboro that
always attract interest, and they are the
mayors race and the race for marshal
or chief of police. At present there are
two candidates for mayor to succeed the
present mayor, John d. Martin, who re-
fuses to be a candidate for reelection.
Those making the race are John Smith
son and J. s. Woods. Both are promi-
nent in Jonesboro, and If no other candi-
date comes out the race will be sensa-
tfonal. There are so many candidates for
marshal or chief of police whichever
Won pleased that the residents have lost
count of them. They liken 1t to the
MAYORS race in Bessemer two months
before the election. The result OF the
mass meeting Wednesday night is awaited
with interest.

Registration Closes

The registration books closed tonight at
10 o'clock with 697 registered. There was
a rush to register late tonight and this
afternoon, and Some of the hardest work
of the week was done. The mayors office
at the city hall, where the books have
been, has been the Mecca for candidates
during the week, and some have given up
business temporarily to remain al the
city hall. The number registered during
the week is about the normal vote of the
Bessemer box, although 1t is expected
that some will register bn election day
The present campaign has been very
exciting one. and it is thought the re-
naming week will not materially change
things. There have been number Of
issues brought into the campaign. Chief
among these is the devotion by the mayor
of all his time to the city, the condition
Of the Bessemer streets and the water
