BESSEMER WANTS
 REDUCED CAR FARE
Will Ask Commission To Lower Rate To Raleigh
 Section
BESSEMER BUREAU THE AGE-HER ALD Bessemer. Ala, Nov. 25

Reduced ear fare from Bessemer Ja the Reliegh section on the South Bessemer line will be asked of the Alabama public service commission when that body meets in Bessemer Wednesday morning to consider water rates. A reduction in fare on this line has been agitated for some time by the Chamber of Commerce, and the request for the commission to consider the matter will be made by a large delegation of business and professional men.
 At present the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company has in effect a 14-cent fare between Ra- leigh Station and Bessemer, a dis tance of four miles, while the fare from Raleigh to Birmingham, a dis tance of eight miles, is only ' cents, The delegation will urge that this is an unjust discrimination against Bes- semer and a hardship on the people of that section. Most of the residents there are employed in this city, and they are paying a care fare in much greater proportion than residents along other lines.
 Some time ago the matter was taken up with the company, and the statement was made that when the right of way was secured some resi- dents asked for a one-fare rate to Birmingham. It is believed that if the matter is taken up with the com mission this will relieve the company of it's obligation.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Comedy galore will be found on the bill at the Lyric, opening this after noon. to be presented every after noon and night through Wednesday There is also novelty and variety in the five acts of big time Keith vaude- vile.
 Marriage vs. Divorce" is the head liner, and it is declared to be a worthy number to top any vaude- vile bill. say those who have seen the bill. It is a satire on modern marital relations, and the lines are said to be clever, with the situations being han died deftly enough to conceal the moral behind the comedy,
 The added attraction brings on more of the humor of the bill. Hell 1 enc Hamilton and Jack Barnes are responsible for it in their 1923 yer sion of Just Funk They are called natural humorists by the critics.
 In the special feature there is yet more comedy. The comedians are Dan Bryant and Dick Stewart, billed as gentlemen testers" Their com edy is of the nut variety, and it is said to be a riot.
 There are two novelty acts round ing out the bill. Bert Sloan does some hazardous wire stepping on q slender thread of steel, while Dan Leon presents his five beautiful ponies in an act that is said to show the perfection of training.
