FIVE NEW RECORDS

If increased production is the solu- tion of the recrease in the high cost of living, there is ray of hope in sight for Bessemer as the Bessemer rolling mill of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company has during the month of March shattered all records formerly made by an increase produc- tion of over 1,500 tons. The we'll bal anced efficiency of the three different mills at this plant is evident from the fact that each mill has broken it's rec ord this month,
 In the month of March five new rec oros have been established While many records have been made at this plant iii the past, none have been of such great increase as the one just completed As customary on such oc- casions, the men will enjoy smokes on Thursday, April 1, as a token of appre- citation from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. w. J. Smith, the superintendent of this plant, is of the opinion that no brand is too good for the organization which he has built up and of which he is very proud

Bessemer. March S1.-(SpeciaL)- Representatives from all civic organ izations and womens clubs were pres ent at the meeting of the joint com mittees appointed to plan the cleanup week to be observed in April, which was held at the library Wednesday aft ernoon. R. L. Coons acted as tempor- ary chairman of the gathering, and Dr. J. D. Bowling addressed the members of the committee.
 Dr. Bowling stated that his depart ment would support the campaign for the reason that cleanliness was essen tial for public health. He recommend ed that not only should an extensive and intensive clean-up campaign be put on in Bessemer. but a spirit such as would follow the publicity of the campaign would be a great asset in the prevention of diseases.
 pr. Bowling stated that the typhoid rate in Bessemer was double that of the average city of the same size, and that typhoid was a preventable disease if the proper sanitation was observed. He stated that the public health of civil communities could be maintained better if same department was endowed with power to enforce the health laws as they were in the army. pr. Bowling also spoke of the economic loss of dis ease, and emphasized the good business in promoting public health
 Following Dr. Dowlng's talk Mayor E. c. Jones told the members of the committee of the amount of support that the campaign could expect to re- ceive from the city, and spoke of the limited equipment at present owned by the city. Mayor Jones stated that bet

ter results could be obtained with the equipment of the city if the laws in regard to sanitation would be com piled with by the business men and residents.
 Mayor Jones made the startling as- sertton that al least fifty hogs that had died in the city limits were removed from the city each month, and many other extra similar calls were made on the sanitary department that greatly delayed their routine work Mrs. Ar thur Perkins made plea for the mem- bers of the representative organiza- tions to use their influence for the prevention of raising of hogs in the city limits unless the requirements of the law were complied with, stating that there were more than Twenty hogs being raised on small lots in the block in which she lived
 After the several enthusiastic speeches Mrs. w. w. Hollingswortb was elected as chairman of the work to be undertaken. and the chairman of the various committees associated in the work were appointed by Mrs. Hol- lingsworth AS an executive committee.
 The executive committee follows R. l., Coons of the Rotary Club. chairman; J. B. Morton of the Kiwans Club; Mrs. c. H. Stevenson of the Wednesday Mu- sic Club; Mrs. Cecil Cowan of the Gull ture Club, and Mrs. G. B. Hollingsworth of the Matrons' Club. This committee will set the date and make the plans for the campaign and will report back a general meeting. A committee was appointed to confer with the city of ficials as to the exact amount of sup port to be given the campaign as fol- lows: Mac Clay, Mrs. Arthur Perkins and Mrs W. w. Hollingsworth.
 There was d large attendance of the members of the committee, and great interest was manifested in the cam paign.

REVIVAL SERVICES

Interest is keen in the revivals being held i'll the city at the several churches, and large crowds at the regular services attest the interest felt. At the First Methodist Church Rev. John R. Turnef is preaching a series of sermons that are productive of bringing number intd the church. The preaching of Rev. H. L. Winburn of Philadelphia, Ark. at the First Baptist Church, is also attracting large congregations, and much interest is being taken among the membership in the revival. The music, which is being led by Mir. Cadwalader, is special fea- ture of the services. Revival services ara continuing at the Brighton Methodist Church, and also at the Southside Sap. tist Church.

GOVERNOR EDWARDS. MOST WANTED MAN..
 STRAW VOTE SHOWS.
He Receives More Votes in Georgia Than Combined Total of Seven Other
 National Figures

Macon, Ga, March 91.-( Special )-In a straw ballot for President, conducted by the Macon Telegraph. which closed to- night, Governor Edwards of New Jer- sey received more votes than the com blned total for seven other national fig upres regarded as likely to figure before the democratic denomination The Iow- who, however. had only four votes less than President Wilson, Hoover, listed as an independent, stood next to Edwards Following him closely and in order were Palmer McAdoo, Marshall, Reed, Wilson and Bryan. Hoke Smith senior sena- tor, and Thomas E. Watson, native sons ran almost neck and neck in the last few days of the ballot, when they were added to the list,
 The standing of the ten men on the ballot and the issue of sending an unin- structed delegate to the national conven- tion follows
 Edwards 2O92. Hoover S5s, Palmer BIO McAdoo 304 Marshall 294, Reed 2s0, Will son 227, Bryan 223 Hoke Smith 243, Thom- as E. Watson 226.
 The Edwards sentiment was complete surprise to the state The supporters of 1QWaTOS represented the pest I,foe or business men of the state-Dankers pro fessionual men, manufacturers and farm CTS. Prohibition appeared to play little part in the development of this senti- ment. Resentment against encroachment upon rights heretofore regarded as be- longing to stats and the growing ten- dency toward liberalization seemed to be the keynote of the Edwards demonstra- tion. Federal prohibition and the swarm of federal police officers which followed it are condemned by men who are known to have been among the strongest prohibit ton advocates as q state measure. Many letters were written by veterans of the war between the states, who frankly ad- mitted dread of federal meddling with any matter of suffrage.
 A GENUINE PUZZLE
 Georgia is one of the few southern states that had actually been voted dry, county by county, under the local ption law, before the state measu e came along and finished the three or four wet counties left There has been no campaign and no propaganda for Edwards, and none of the political ladders of the state have been for him.

Are you pounding
 away your energy.

T9RESH and vigorous in the
 morning-yet long before the
 days work is done you begin to tire. By half-past three or four fatigue is stealing your strength.
 This fatigue decreases the amount of work you can do. It makes pleasure less enjoyable. It lowers your resistance to disease.
 A certain amount of fatigue is natural and inevitable - but too many men and women waste much of their precious energy.
 One of the greatest of these wastes comes from pounding away your energy on hard, modern pavements. If you are a person of average activity you take 5000 steps a day. Every, step you take with hard leather heels or dead" rubber heels acts as hammer blow to your nervous system. The con- stant repetition of these jolts and jars tends to exhaust your energy toprodAlce that tired-out feeling y-~', so often experience.
 Remove fhis cause of fatigue
 You can do much to prevent this condition. You can eliminate the saocks of pounding hard heels on still arder pavements. O'Sullivan's
