BESSEMER

Bessemer, November 1s.-(speciaL) Bessemer is in the midst of build ing boom. Contractors and laborers of building crafts have as much work as many of them are able to dc. Complaint has been made by numbers of property owners that. having planned repairs of different kinds on their dwellings it has been almost impossible to secure some one to do the work cn account of unusual ac- tivity in the city along building lines. A number of now homes are being built in the section of the highlands of the city which are being opened up and street Improvements under way. There are a number of public buildings being remodeled and im- proved, among them the First Pres byterian church which is being re- decorated in ceilings, walls and wood work. The Sunday school rooms. and parlors and every part of the church is being overhauled. Work on the Young Mems Christian association building will be started within short time. 1t is expected, as the collections on the debt of the building have been unusually suc- cessful.
 
 let the contract within the month for the new high school which will entail the expenditure of s1S0,000 and will be one of the largest buildings of its kind in tho state.
