Bessemer, April Special All garages in the city were closed Sunday and no gasoline was sold the gasoline filling stations being locked according to an agreement between garage men here late Saturday night to close their places of business.
 This was the first effect of the sun day closing law which was ordered en- forced at the last meeting of the city council. The law will be put into eff feet on sunday, Aprl IS, but the pro- prietors of garages agreed to close their places af business before being required by law. It was not generally known that gasoline would not be sold in the city on Sunday and quite an in convenience was experienced by many motorists who were out for a ride or expected to take their usual Sunday outing.
 Local garage men are of the opinion that the Sunday closing will be unpop- ular and that general demand will be made that the law be modified in order to allow this line of business tc operate on Sundays, and the voluntary closing on Sunday was a test of the ef- fects of their places of business being closed.
 On one of the principal garages oi the city the following notice was dis | played. Closed in compliance with tho blue law passed in 1SS7." The city ordinance requires all place: 1 of business in the city to close on Sun /, day with the exception of drug stores restaurants and bakeries.

RUSHTON HTS OUT FROM SHOULDER IN
 SPEECH AT BRENT

 Those words we're uttered by Ray Rushton. candidate for the short sena- forial term, in an address here yester- Gay before @ large and enthusiastic audience of leading citizens of this community. Boldness characterized ev- cry utterance of Mir Rushton, and the popularity of his theme was attested by frequent and loud applause.
 Government extFayagance, excessive taxation and inefficiency in public of flee were roundly scored by MT. Rush ten, who declared he was unalterably opposed to expenditure of public funds in excess of an amous sufficient to meet the honest obligations of the government"
 REFERS TO OPPONENT
 MT Rushton declared that none of his opponents had given the people any hope of relief from the burden of taxation. "Isn't 1t astounding" he  oocio about what they will do for 2 some particular class, some particular occupation, or some particular product, they all fail to give us any hope of relief from the burdens of taxation CT lack of efficiency in the govern nent service?
 The speaker declared that his oppo- sients evidently expected the people to elect a senator on some one idea. They all forget" he said that the people ot Alabama have always been very careful about whom they sent to the J United States Senate. The people of Alabama have never yet elected sem ator on any one idea"
 MT. Rushton invited comparison of his record with that of the other can aidates in the short senatorial race. se declared that each one had had his chance in public office, and that any promise they mght make in re- gard to relieving the burdens which are expressing the people would be contradicted by their past records.

KILL THE RAT, THE KNOWN
SPREADER OF PLAGUE.

Calling attention to the discov-
cry Of bubonic plague in several
American and Mexican gulf ports
and renewing his warning regard
ing the Introduction Of plague
from Mediterranean ports which
are known to be infected, Surgeon
General Hugh Cumming urged
communities throughout the coun-
try, and especially along the
coast, to inaugurate rat-extermi-
nation and rat-proofing cam
paigns.
"'Bubonic plague is primarily a
disease of rodents, especially
rats said General Cumming,
"and the disease can be controlled
effectively by measures directed
against the rat. The extermina-
ton of rats is all the more to be
desired because of the tremendous
economic damage they cause.
According to conservative esti-
mates made by the u. S. Public
Health Service on the basis of nu-
merous surveys, there is at least
one rat fos every person in the
United States. This estimate CO.
incides with that for Great Brit
ain and Ireland, and with authori-
tative figures for Denmark, Ger
many and France. The annual up
keep per rodent was computed by
the same authorities as $1.8O in
Great Britain, $1.20 in Denmark,
and 100 in France. The depre-
dations of the rats in the United
States will very probably exceed
the estimate for Great Britain.
One-half cent day is consid-
cred conservative, but even on
this computation, it costs the
United States $1S0,000,000 a year
to support it's rat population. This
does not include mice.
"The U. S. Public Health Serv-
ice is prepared to detail trained
experts to assist communities in
organizing the fight against the
rats, said General Cumming.
"Many Of our officers have had
extensive practical experience in
this work, and know how to make
it really effective. In the seaport
cities the work of determination
should be supplemented by bac-
