BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, November 3o-(SpeciaI) ] The first run of No. furnace of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Robertsown, which was blown in yesterday, was made last night, the furnace having been com pletely overloaded and refined and is in splendid condition. After shut down of several months of all four of the big furnaces, No. was blown in about the middle of August while No. went in early in September and No. 1 was blown in in October and an announcement was made that No would be put to work just as soon as repairs which were in progress on same were completed, and within, 100 days after the first stack went into blast all four were actively at work making iron far in excess of the ca pacity they were built for. Almost all of the furnaces were erected as 175 years since they were built all have broken records as they got older, mak- ing better runs and smashing records, an output of as much as 270 tons from one furnace having been recorded within 24 hours and this, too, with no modern conveniences and old equip ment
 With all four furnaces named above in blast there is only the Little Bell furnace idle and this stack has not made run in nine years Some lit- tie time ago it was announced that in all probability this furnace would be made ready for the making of man ganese iron.

In an editorial last week oppos-

Uniontown Telegram says:
The editor Of The Telegram
opposes the statewide prohibi.
ton question now, not in the in.
terest Of any candidate, but
solely because the people do not
want il at present"
And this is about the same ar
gument practically all the papers
of the state, that are opposing
statewide are making. But
stop Just a minute, brother. and
let's see about this question.
Who's to be the Judge upon this
question you. or the people
themselves? You say they don't
want it," but how do you know
they don't? You've never given
them chance to say whether
they do or not. Why not let the
people decide this question for
themselves in place of YOU and q
few other newspapers and pol.
iticians deciding it for them ,
For with log counties now DRY
it looks like at least a few OF
them have inclinations in that
direction.
Now, Editor Green, let's bs
fair about this question and see
whose right. The Record ha,
been fighting for prohibition in
any form for the past ten year.
or more, and personally we are
in favor of statewide. but what
we are contending for now is for
a set of state officials and a Leg.
islature that will give the neople
a chance to decide this importan,
question for themselves, and no,
allow a few newspapers and pol.
iticians TO say what the people
want and what they don't want. -
The fundamental principle of
Democracy is that the people
shall rule" and when you OF
any set of men undertake to de.
eide what the people want
you strike at the very founda.
