LOOKING FOR yANpALs

City officials and realty dealers
have become consid erably exercised
recently over the wanton destruction
of property in the negro residential
sections, where several houses have
been practically destroyed. An espe-
cially strict watch has been kept in
some neighborhoods and several ar
rests OF negroes have been made, the
alleged offenders having been as
scssed fines and sentences.
One case reported from the north
side was that of long row OF vacant
brick houses. The property was sold
recently. An inspection before the
sale revealed the fact that the in
terror woodwork, porches and, in
some cases. the roofs, had been car
ried off for firewood.
Realty agents have had a number
of negroes arrested recently. They
state that during the recent depres-
sion, many pieces of tenant property
were almost demolished. Hundreds
of property owners allowed families
to remain in their property during
the dull times simply to avoid hav-
ing the houses destroyed.
INDORsE WHITE WAY
The Bessemer Chamber of Com
merce has Endorsed the project of in
stalling white way in the business
section, and a number of merchants
have become interested in the pro-
posal. A start along this line was
gotten some weeks ago, when lights
were placed on Nineteenth street be-
tween Second and Third avenue.
Several merchants along this street

LITERARY TASTES IMPROVE

MIS-. W. T. WarIIck, librarian,
states that the literary taste of Bes-
semer readers has been improving all
this year. The librarian states that
this Improvement is most noticeable
in children from II to Is years of
age. She believes this is the direct
result of the splendid English courses
in the city schools. Not only is good
literature studied, but the pupils are
required to write themes on standard
outside reading, which requires that
they read the better books of the
library. The taste for these more
educational books is thus acquired
and continued as a habit. Mrs. War
lick also says that because of this
the library has been purchasing a
higher class Of books.
