BESSEMER

Bessemer. April 2s.-(Special. )- There is considerable talk among the politicians of the county at this time in regard to either giving this end of the county q separate county or making separate and distinct divisons of Jefferson county. This movement |. heinz watched with interest here as 1t is feared that 1t may finally develop a situation that Is not en- tirely satisfactory to this section
 Grounds for fear In this respect is that should a new county be created with Bessemer as the county seat an attempt will be made to lncor- porate Fairfield with Jefferson rather than with the proposed new county Fairfield Is in the Bessemer cutoff and at the present time the residents transact legal business in this city and since it Is part of the Bessemer cutoff there Is very strong senti- ment in Bessemer against its being transferred to the northern end or the county should there be division of the county.
