ENGINEERS REOPEN
 SHIP CANAL PROJECT
Cities Interested in Warrior River Development Urged
 to Attened Hearing

After adversely reporting the opening of a ship canal connecting Mobile bay and Pensacola bay, the board of engi- neers in charge of rivers and harbors have decided to reopen the matter and hear proof as to the feasibility of build ing the channelA
 Notice that they would give advo- cates of the channel a hearing at some date, not yet fixed, was contained in a letter received by Chief Engineer Charles r. Wood of the Warrior river development committee yesterday.
 While he was in Washington last week MT. Wood urged the importance and filed petition with the board of engineers, in which he asked that those favoring it be given hearing. It is contended that with nine-foot chan mel connecting Mobile bay and Pensa- cola bay. coal and other commodities shipped from the Birmingham district could be taken on to Pensacola without transferring at Mobile.
 The board of engineers in their let ter to Mr. Wood stated that they would advise him as to the date of the hear ing Mobile and Pensacola and other cities interested in the development oi transportation on the Warrior river will be asked to send representatives tc Washington to appear at the hearing.

BESSEMER
Tn. Bessemer manager of circulation i. c E.

Bessemer. March e-(SpeciaL)-Capt Lacey Edmundson was indorsed by a mass meeting of Bessemer citizens for beard of revenue Monday evening and plans made for a campaign that will reach to all sections of the county. Upon suggestion of Major T. T. Huey. chairman J. c. E. Gwin appointed a committee on resolutions as follows: W. S. Welch. Gardner F. Goodwin and George Bumgardner. The following resolutions in reference to Captain Ed mundson were offered and adopted:
 Whereas. It has been and is gener- ally conceded that the Bessemer divi- sion of Jefferson county is entitled to one member of the board of revenue cf the county. and
 Whereas, The people generally out side of the Bessemer iivision have al- most uniformly conceded that the Bes semer division of the county Is en- titled to one member of the board of revenue of the county. and have ex- ressed a willingness to support one man for that position. provided they knew whom the Bessemer division de- sire.
 Whereas. The Bessemer division os tho county in public mass meeting as- sembled has agreed upon Capt Lacey Edmundson of Bessemer IS it's candi- date for this office. feeling that by his |election this division of the county IS well as the entire county would have in him a fearless. efficient and faith full public official. and in addition thereto would recognize in modest way the splendid service and heroic sacrifice made by Cartain Edmundson in the war that has just closed while leading Company D, 167th Infantry rainbow Division, which made such glorious records on the battlefields of France. Now, therefore be 1t
 Resolved, by the citizens of Besse- ner. division of Jefferson county, in mass meeting assembled. that we most heartily indorse the candidacy of Cap tain Edmundson and most earnestly recommend him to the voters of Jeffer- son county as the Bessemer division candidate for the board of revenue and request that the voters from all parts of the county join us in honoring this veteran of the recent war who so hero ically led that famous company that so greatly honored us.h
 A number of speeches were made and Major T. T. Huey urged the importance of appointing committees that would rush the campaign of the Bessemer candidate on account of the fact that there were comparatively few candi- dates in the field as compared with previous races for the board of reve- nue. and on account of the unusual in- terest in the election caused by the improvements to be made in road work. A motion prevailed that the chairman Judge J. c. B. Gwin, and Captain Edmundson appoint these com mittees and a meeting will be held On next Monday evening, when ways and means for reaching voters in all parts of the county will be worked out.
