THE LYCEUM.
An Institution of Three fold Importance Social, Moral, Intelectual--Is Attract-

Through the efforts of the Southern J.yc&um association, of which Hon. Henry Watterson is president, and Gen. John sB. Gordon yice-president, and MT. H. C. M.edieton, of Augusta, Ga. secre- tary, lyceums have been established dur ing the last year in Augusta, Atlanta, Savanna and Columbus, Ga, Norfolk, Wilmington. Little Rock and Jackson vile Lyceums are now being organized in Knoxville. Chattanooga, Nashville, Richmond, Charleston, Mobile and our own city of Birmingham, of the Southern Lyceu,u association, and the plan is to carry on the work until the large major fly of the sixty cities in the southern states containing populations of 10,0O0 7anG over. from Richmond Va, to San Antonio, Tex, have established lyceuins. Each of these lyceums will be entirely in- der. nt.cnt, the entire fund raised from tha annnal dues and admissions of each being :isei exclusively for its own benefit. Notra dcliar will 60 to the Southern Ly- Scupl association or any outside party. The Southern Lyceum association will be benefited, however, because it will be , tho agent of fifty or sixty lecturers and lyceual entertainers who will thus have an inviting field in the south when 50

many cities have established lyceums. and upon each contract for a lecture by anyone of the lecturers for whom Y is agenr, the Southern Lyceum Association Will get commission from the leetWSt IS, E l2is! 2s !Essa@ VI gs 2gllgatfa tg who are managed through the Southern Lyeeum association, but the probability is that most all the lyceums will select frtin that list as it comprises the lest in the United States, and 1t will be much more conve nient to make contract and dates with the agents, than with the lec- ture- himself.
 All posters, circulars and advertising matter for each lecture will be furnished free by the agents to each local lyceum.
 The Birmingham Lyceum wishes to start with 800 members at $5 each for annual dul.s. This will prduce fund of $1 1,500, with which amount we can pay for hall and lights, and get at least len lec- tures and entertainments during the sea- sen from October to April such as the fol- lowing, for example: Gen. Gordon, Henry Waterson, Rev. Madison c. Pst-rs, pr. Henson, Rev. Thomas Dixon, Senator In- gals, Will Carlton the poet, in readings from his own works; Frank Beard, ehe cartoonist; Gov. Bob Taylor, should he resume the lecture platform, and the Bos- ton Ideals, Mozart Symphony club or other firia musical numbers.
 Each member will have two season tickets, which will admit him, any mem- Der of his family or any friend, in case the member should be absent from the city or not care to go 70 any particular lecture Two admissions tc each tnter tainrnent will thus make the cost of ad- mission 25 cents for each of the ten en- tertainmenrs If the revenue is sufficient from admissions a. regular prices of those who are not members, two or three addi- 'tional entertainments can be added to the course, and thus thia average cost of admission to Lhe members will be re- duced, as they will get more lectures without any increase of dues. It is pure 1y @ co-opera tive institution for the pleas .ul'.l and benefit of the members, as every dollar that comes into the treasury will be expended on che three items of lec- lures, halls and lights, no salary or com- pensation going to any officer or any out side pansy.
 A paper containing the following agree m9nt has. been placed at Smith & Mont gcmerys, and at Gedden's, Nortons and Newman's drug stores:
 Birmingham July, 1897.
 we each agree to become one of 300 necessary to form the Birmingham Ly- ceum'; it being unders ood that the cost to each of us shall be $5, for which w. shall be er'itltled to two admissions to each of at least ten lectures and enter tainments without any other cost or lia- bili.y; and unless the requisite number of members Is secured to form the lyce- um no payment of the subscription shall be called for.'
