THE WELSH PATRON SAINT .
By STEPHEN ALLsOPP

lied on. One fact, however, remains that Saint David was a remarkable man, whose fame as a moralist, a pa triot and preacher is destined to live on and sound throughout the corridors of time. His fame has come to us mostly as tradition, but there has not come naught but what Is an account of noble character such as every Briton can be proud of. Nearly all his- torians agree that when over 80 years old he died in the year sol and was buried in St. David's cathedral in Penn brokeshire, South Wales. This cathe- dral, he himself built. becoming it's first bishop. He was canonized in.1120.
 On next Wednesday, Welshmen throughout the world will be doing honor to their patron saint. Outside the mother country the oldest St. David's society is in Philadelphia, dat ing back to the days of William Penn. There are very strong organizations in New York, in Canada. New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and South America.
 Along with thousands of their coun- trymen the Welsh people of Alabama will celebrate the day. A banquet and a concert will be held at the Ensiey opera house to commence at 6:o0 p. IL. to close at - a. m. Lovers of song can exnect a treat. and Welsh American patriotism will be at fever heat. Every Cvmro and his wife are expected to DO there.

REFORM IS WATCHWORD
 OF BESSEMER ALDERMEN
By c. H. MANDY

The present city council of Bessemer is determined on one thing, and that is that the city's expenditures shall not exceed the income To that end the aldermen passed a resolution at a recent meeting pledging themselves to that policy.
 They evidently have in view the choice bit of philosophy uttered by the immortal q man spends sxpence above his income the result is misery; if he spends sixpence less than his income the result is happi- ness
 They are guarding the treasury of the city with the fidelity of bulldogs, and are close, almost to niggardliness, in their ap- propriatlons. The only piece of extrava- gance they have indulged in thus far is the purchase of s75,OO0 worth of property for $11 GOO, to-wit, the purchase of the Cedar Hill cemetery, which really amounts to nothing but a loan at the greatest interest ever paid in the history of city loans. The income from the sale of lots and other sources exceeds $500 yearly, and according to the statement of Mayor Lewis can be greatly increased by using a part of the 45 acres acquired for farming purposes.
 The personnel of the council Is as rep resentative a body of men as ever guided the destinies of this city or any city and thus far have fully measured up to the test of patriotic citizenship. No star chamber proceedings, no secret agree

The second matches for the Drennen trophy were played at the Country club links last week and were very interest," ing. The matches were close in nearly every case and the gallery that followed the play was treated to rare sport.
 An even better week is promised tn,s week when the third matches will be played. The contest flor the trophy Is narrowing down to the crack golfers of the club. The matches among the de- feated IS are also proving very interest," ing, and are attracting considerable at tention.
 The results in the second matches for the trophy were as follows:
 J. c. Kimball defeated F. E. Ellis; A. M. Throckmorton defeated J. B. Cobb, 8 mp and to play; J. E. Frazier defeated R. L. Gregory, ? up; l.. M. Tutwler and H. c. Wood, all even, IS holes.

What wonderful spots on the At lantic ocean are the British Isles! What tremendous influence they have wielded in the history of mankindl Especially is this the case in the formation and building of this great republic. How ever we are not surprised at the achievements of those Celts and Saxons when we understand that each one of the four nations has it's own patron saint! The Englishman has his St. George, the Scot his St. Andrew, the Irishman his St. Patrick and last but not the least the Welshman his St.
 David. Like other saints each one of these has his own festival day Owing to the splendid patriotism of the Irish, Just as we known where the shamrock grows, so everybody knows of the 17th day of March as St. Patrick's Day. Per haps because the Welshman likes to sing to his heroes rather than celebrate their festival days, he has not made the name of his saint so famous, and 1t is not so generally known that the 1st asty of March is St. Davids Day. Natur- ally the reader asks "who was St. DdNlu. IS He Sllll III tle lleSn UT iitS he passed beyond to be with kindred saints?" As the venerable saint lived
 in the Tong ago." his past is sur rounded with clouds and darkness. Yet we have the best authority for saying that the patron saint of the Welsh was of royal blood, the son of Ceredig, the Prince of Cardiganshire, county that has furnished perhaps more eminent Welshmen than any other. Probably kinfolks of the saint. But David, or the Welsh Dewi, took clerical orders, and being educated by some monks, he became the most famous prelate of his day. History tells of a remarkable lec- turing and preaching tour that he un- dertook in the latter part of the sixth century. During this tour he Is credited
 with performing miracles of different kinds, but as the same ones are at tached to the names of others of earlier and later periods, they can not be re-

ments of committees to kill measures, hut every act thus far has been open and above board And Furthermore, the citizens are welcomed at the council meet ngs and always given an opportunity to express themselves on any subject.
 With that, they have come in for some criticisms, which only shows they are doing their part according to the dictates of right and justice as they see 1t, and if mistakes are made, as they undoubted- ly will be. it only goes to show that they are making an effort to carry out the work for which they were elected. They came into office with a debt of s75,000 on them and they are now trying to shake off this 'old man of the sea- who Is sap ping their resources and hampering their activity.
 The overshadowing debt is the accumu- latlon of a number of years and was in- cured by city improvements. The watch word of the mayor and city council is reform and every alderman is working . this end. At almost every meeting Mayor Lewis has some practical suggestion to offer whereby the city can reduce its ex- penses. The bond issue if carried will save the city s25Oo in interest alone as well as restoring the credit of the city, which is now exhausted.
 The circular letter sent to the voters Is plain, straightforward statement of facts and should appeal to the business intelligence of every voter. If the bond issue carries it does not mean any addi- tional taxation, as the tax limit has all ready been reached, and furthermore the city council pledges itself to the citizens of Bessemer to show them where every penny of the money will be placed.
