BOYS AT CONFERENCE

R. l.. Coons. Y. M. c. A. secretary has received an interesting letter from the four BesSemer boys attedlng the Y. M. C. A conference at Blue Ridge. N C, George Waller. Meredith Wal Ter. Noble Bennett and Howard Bailey are the delegates appointed by the Sunday schools and the high school, and they express the greatest appre- citation of being allowed the advap- tages of attending the conference. The boys were very much elated over a game of baseball played between the Mississippi and the Alabama delegates, when Alabama won, all of the boys being on the team. In view of the fact that there were 35 Mississippi boys attending the conference, and only 10 Alabama boys, the winning of tine baseball game was considered remark able They state that they have en- joyed every hour of their stay and are receiving instruction and inspiration for the future work in Bessemer.
 Deputies J. B. Vines and Jake Skates captured an illicit still Tuesday after noon late southwest of McCalla. The still was of 50-gallon capacity and was well concealed in the bushes. It was not in operation, but 100 gallons of beer mash was found and destroyed. Oscar Booth, a white man, and Louis Morrow, negro, were arrested in con- nection with the finding of the still.
