BESSEMER VOTES
 FOR SCHOOL TAX Voters Show Apathy and Small Vote Is Cast WEDDING AT TEMPLE Exodus of Negroes From Bessemer and District Offset by Influx
 of Negroes From the
 Country

Bessemer. January SO.--(Special.) Apathy and lack of interest were the outstanding features of the 3-mill school tax election held today in Bes- semer and barely one-sixth of the vot- ing strength of the city was polled, only 279 votes being cast. The result gave a victory for the school tax by a majority of 49 the votes of the five boxes standing at 164 for and 115 against. The complete returns from tho several voting places were: Rem ners store, 30 for and 22 against; city hall, S2 for, IT against; Owens store, 38 for, 2S against; Longs store 2S for, 25 against; Jonesboro, S6 for 25 against.
 The basketball fans of Bessemer are looking forward with a great deal of in- terest tothe game to be played Friday night when the Bessemer High school will meet their old rival, the Central High school of Birmingham at the Birmng- ham Atheltic club and from indications at present a large number of supporters of the local five will accompany the team. Coach Collier has been putting the team through some hard practice and this will be the first game of the season for Bessemer. The team is composed of several football stars, and it is be- lieved that they can take the measure of Central in basketball as well as they did in football. Frank Scott, captain, and Alvin Bailey, forward; Charlie Scott, center; Ralph Saider and John ORourke. guards. The substitutes are Brossie Newman. John Henson, Ralph Merritt and Frank Lacey
 The exodus of negroes from Bessemer and vicinity still continues and large shipments are going north. Almost every day it is necessary for the Alabama Great Southern railroad company to put on an additional coach on No. 4 passen- ger train to accommodate the men and women. Negroes from south Alabama continue to arrive and the drain caused by the large shipments north is offset by the arrival of those from the country.
 Mayor B. c. Jones contends that all city license must be paid before Febru- ary 1, which leaves only one remaining day in which the merchants, business and professional men may do so. After Feb ruary 1 10 per cent penalty will be added to the license
 Funeral services over the remains of Mrs Catherine Cochran, who died Sun day night at the family residence, were held this morning at 10 o'clock, inter- ment being made at McDonald's chapel, with Huey & Mcconnell in charge The deceased was 57 years of age and was an old and well known resident of this dis trict. She is survived by a large number of relatives.
