Bessemer, Ala, Sept. 24


 Chief of Police Rush Randall is sued a statement Monday expressing alarm at the increase in automobile accidents in this section recently, and asking the cooperation of motorists and others to help the police appre- bend speeders and wreckless drivers. There were several accidents in this vicinity Sunday, on of which occurred in the city, when J. s. Campbell, 520 Third avenue. Birmingham, was pain s fully injured on Owen avenue and Center street.
 k Campbell was riding in an automo- | bile which was struck by a passing gear and knocked from the road, it Is said, his machine turning over. He was carried to the Elizabeth Duncan ! hospital for treatment. The machine which struck the Campbell car sped away after the accident. The driver has not been apprehended, though the police believe they will be able ito locate him from descriptions given by witnesses.
 "The greatest source of worry to police officials at this time," Chief Randall stated, is the disregard of traffic laws by Irresponsible people. The cooperation of citizens in as- sisting in convicting those guilty of traffic violations is necessary. Dur ing the past week there were more than the usual number of accidents in the city, five automobiles having been damaged from collisions in the business section alone" the chief said

FAIRFIELD BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Fairfield. Ala. Sept. 2A ]

The Fairfield Land company has sold all of it's properties in Fairfieldr with a few exceptions, 1t is stated. The company opened at this city with sale in March 13 years ago and since that time have maintained a selling organization in this city and have contributed largely in the recog- milton and upbulding of Fairfield. For some time the properties were in charge of Ruffin A. Smith, as general manager, accredited with being one of the most astute realty men in this section. He was succeeded by w. j.. Oliver, the present general manager, who has handled the affairs of the company in creditable manner. During the regime of MT. Smith the city of Fairfield became municipal corporation and a mayor and council was elected.
 The Fairfield Land company, dur ing it's management in Fairfield, has given liberally and often to all public enterprises started in this community and there is much regret expressed that it's properties have finally been disposed of It is stated that the company has reaped a rich reward in the investments made here although it is well appreciated that for many years they were obliged to struggle along with meager encouragement.
 The impression seems to be that the company will continue it's of fices here for some time, it being Gn- derstood that all properties have not been fully paid for and it will be necessary to continue the present or ganization for some time. No an- nouncement has been made and will not be made until after the annual meeting in about two weeks The hope is expressed here and it is be- lieved that MT. oliver will continue for some time to look after the Jemison interests in Fairfield.

NEW GAS CONTRACT

Announcement was made Monday that Fairfield is no longer using by product gas from the Tennessee com pany in Fairfield, but the supply is being pumped here from the Sloss ovens in North Birmingham. The contract with the Tennessee company made several years ago was termi- mated with amicable arrangements on both sides. It is stated that the Ten nessee company was somewhat pleased to be relieved of the refining of such a small quantity and was glad when the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company was will ing to release them from the gas contract.
 The Tennessee company is using a large quantity of it's gas at this time and as the company makes further additions to it's plants here such as are now pending, the gas will be needed for it's own consump- tion. It was indicated Monday by street railway officials that the gas was being refined at it's Birming ham station after coming in from the ovens and was being relayed to Fairfield in that manner.
