 neral of F. M. Price

Bessemer, February Especial )-The circular letter which was prepared by special committee from the city council of Bessemer in reference to the $75,000 bond issue which will be voted on next Monday has been mailed to every known voter in the city The letter presents the full facts of the situation and gives a detailed account of the indebtedness of the city and when the debts were in cured. The figures speak eoquently of the necessity of the issuance of the bonds for the purpose intended and the main- tenance of the credit of the city,
 The campaign committee Is urging the voters to action in this matter and has met with much encouragement so far. From what can be learned at this time the indications are that the bond issue will carry by large majority Place Closed by Injunction
 The injunction law was again invoked in this district today when the soft drink stand of Bell brothers at Jonesboro was closed by the sheriff by virtue of writ of injunction issued from the city court of Bessemer. The complaint was made and the affidavit sworn out by a resi- dent of the locality where the estab lishment was in operation and the order of the court was put in effect by the sheriff's office at this point The in junction is temporary and 1t is stated that an effort will be made to make it per manent when the defendants file their answer in court.
 New Press Arrives
 The new press for the Bessemer Daily Standard arrived this morning after delay in transit of nearly two weeks, and is being set up for operation. Tho management had made arrangements with a local concern to use their machinery to print the first issue of the paper, which will make it's appearance Monday, but they believe now that they will be able to use their own press. Anyway, they have two shots as 1t were, to print the first sheet and unless some unfore- seen circumstance occurs the Standard will be unfurled Monday to f1utter In the balmy breezes of local events and happenings.
 Commission Bill . Much disappointment is expressed in Bessemer regarding the bill proposed for the commission form of government for municipalities
 The bill as reported puts Bessemer In the second class. which provides for three commissioners at a salary of $75 per month each
 This is regarded as being entirely in- sufficient to secure the class of men that will be required to give their entire time to the government of the city, for as one citizen put it such small salary would necessarily mean a small man."
 An effort will be made to have the matter put on a more equitable basis.
