 Ray Tillman, clerk of the Bessemer eoard, stated that they had 400 they could send and from the letter received today it seems that they will be sent in five consecutive days beginning on Octo- Der 27. The Bessemer board expects to receive orders just how many to send this week and on receipt of orders mo- tices will be mailed to the negro men drafted immediately It is thought that Che men will be sent to Camp Dodge, Ia. While a large number of Bessemer men have been sent to Camp Pike, Ark, no negroes have as yet been sent, and those to go on October 27 will be the first to leave Bessemer
 letter was received today by Jap Bry- ant of the Marvel City Cycle company from man in France asking him to send a catalogue of bicycles and electric mo- tors. It was stated by the man that France had been stripped completely of all machines of this kind and that the demand for them at the present time Is great. The letter was written in French and MT. Bryant took same to Miss Inez Carter, teacher in the Bessemer high school to have it translated for him.
 The football team of the Bessemer high school is practicing hard preparing for the number of games scheduled for the season and the team is practically new, as only two men of the last years aggregation are on it at present. Coach Red Harris, an Auburn star, is coaching the Il. and 1t is expected that it will make splendid showing.
 Through the courtesy of G. A. Miller, superintendent of the Bessemer rolling mill, the boys will play on the rolling mill diamond, which is an excellent field. The first game of the season will be played on Saturday, October 20, when Bessemer will meet Acipco, and a large crowd is sure to be on hand for the oc- sasion.

Oyster Potato Pie

Boil one dozen medium sized po- tatOes and mash with butter and the liquor from the oysters. Season the oysters with pepper and salt and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Place in baking dish a layer of the potatoes, then one of oysters. Repeat this until the dish is filled, allowing layer of potatoes to be on top of dish. Then put into oven to brown. This recipe calls for about 50 oysters, but, of course, the amount of both oysters and pota- toes may be halved.

CLOSE TO HEARTS

Particular Reason Why Thanks
giving Day Should Be Gen.
eraIiY Celebrated Here.

AVE Of the oldest and best beloved
holidays in the whole year
~ comes to us this week-Oldest IN
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated it when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because it Is a holiday all our own.
typically American through and
through. Nations all over the WORLD
celebrate Christmas. New Years and
Easter. Even our Independence day
has it's echo in the French July n, but
Thanksgiving day is the entire proper
ty of the American people, and per
haps this adds the extra lUster which
makes it a day apart in the heart OF
every citizen.
It's origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with a
day set aside for the giving of thanks
for the crops just harvested. I'm real
ity it is national harvest festival, but
it's meaning has come to cover more
than just the harvest season alone
Now this holiday Is accorded us for
the rendition Of thanks for the bless
ings Of the entire year.
We find that during the Revolution
the observance of this day for giving
thanks had become so general that
congress recommended each year 4
Thanksgiving day. This was an an
nual occurrence until the end Of the
war. when day was set aside ia
1884. for rendering thanks for the re-
turn of peace. Again in 1889 WASH
ington appointed day Of Thanksgiving
for the adoption Of the Constitution.
1t was in this year also that the Epis-
copal church formally recognized the
ommend such feast day.
Sympathy is the only charitable gift
of some people.

PAY FOR CRIPPLED TOILERs.

Harrisburg, a-Dismemberment of
industrial workers in Pennsylvania dur
ing 1916, the first year of the operation
of the state workmen's compensation
law, led to an aggregate of more than
half million dollars being paid to the
injured persons. Prior to the passage
of the compensation act they would have
received very little if anything.
This money was paid out for eyes,
arms, legs and feet The total amount
was $5O2,2O4 Two hundred and eighty
three eyes had the sight totally destroy
ed, whether the eye itself was removed
or not arms, hands and feet were am
putated to the number of 200.
"The money total is only the amounts
actually paid, or will be paid in install
ments. to the injured workers." said
John Price Jackson, state commissioner
of labor and industry. ut does not in
clude the cost of medical and surgical
services, which the employers paid"
Total compensation awards during
1916 were $4,224, ,s75.43, of which about
one-eighth went for dismemberment.

ANTI-UNIONIsT ANSWERED..

Sacramento, Cal.-Because organized
labor is attempting to abolish private
employment agencies in this State,
trade union officials, and especially Sec
retary Scharrenbcrg, of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, have been denounced
by Assemblyman Frank M. Smith, who
dislikes unionists writing letters to law
makers.
Secretary Scharrenberg has issued
a hot retort in which he says:
You take strenuous exception to the
method pursued by the State Fedora
ton OF Labor in questioning candidates
before election upon their views on
measures vitally affecting the toilers,
But you seem to be quite satisfied with
the same sort of letter-writing cam
paign when pursued by your friends in
the Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation and the Chamber OF Com
merce.
"As legislator you have a perfect
right to champion the perpetuation of .
system which permits California en-
ployment sharks to mulct men seeking
work to the tune OF 100000 per annum.
But please don't imagine that your
silly abuse OF labor representatives will
stop the wheels OF progress in Cali
fornia, or discourage us from keeping
up the good work for the men and
women who toll"

LABOR FORCED SHOW OF
HANDS.

Denver.-Although labor did not sue
ceed in securing the repeal of Colora-
dos "can't-strike" law, its friends forced
show of hands by placing senate and
house members on record, to be used at
the next election In the senate the
vote against repeal was 2S to 4, with
three lodging. The house vote was 33
to 30 against repeal with two lodging.
Trade unionists have already started
their campaign for the next election of
state legislators who believe in American
freedom In the meantime the organized
workers do not propose to permit any
statute to interfere with their right to
labor or not to labor.
