~THE PLAYS

Let us make the plays of nation and I shall not care who make the laws" writes an up-to-date philosopher. There is much truth in the assertion that the stage exerts a powerful influence over the people, but there are different kinds of Influence. Some plays exert an evil influence; others only one that is good. It is the latter case with Down In Dixie" the enjoyable com edy drama, now touring the south under the management of Thomas H. Davis and William F. Keogh. Down In Dixie" will be seen in this city at OBrien's opera house next Wednesday, and theater-goers will have ample opportunity of judging for themselves how fascinating and wholesome play it is. The atmosphere of love, TO-. nance, tragedy and comedy that pervades 1t is delightful, because all the elements of the drama form such composite entirety 1t tells a strong story of life in Georgia and South Carolina. Georgia Hale, the her. oine, saves the life of the hero, a young naval officer in a strikingly thrilling way TWO scoundrels knock the officer senseless, place him in huge cotton compress, set the place afire and flee. When the press is on the point of crushing the hero to death, the heroine breaks through a window and ? drags him to place of safety. This is an amazingly thrilling rescue, and never fails to work the audience up to the highest pitch of excitement. In the comedy scenes are a typical old colored couple and a staid old squire who is of the opinion that the world is hardly worth living in since the halcyon days "befo' de wah." Then there are the love scenes which scintillate with light comedy. Irrepressible plantation darkey boys and the celebrated pickaninny band. which plays spirited music. are added strong and attractive features. The cotton field quarter of singers furnish sweet music and add to the enjoyment of the play.

NEGRO FAIR.
Meeting This Morning to Decide Wheth-
 CT It Shall Be Held

A number of the most prominent negroes of Birmingham will meet this morning at 10 o'clock at the Penny Savings bank in Twentieth street, to decide whether or not they will attempt to hold the colored fair next month, which has been so much dis cussed.
 vi It is said that there are about as many opponents to the plan as there are advo- cates of it. The former argue that no actual steps have been taken so far, ex- cept to advertise it, and that it is now too late to get up successful exhibits by next month.
 On the other hand. those favoring the plan say that it should be carried through by all means, as 1t will be tremendous impetus to negro industry of all kinds in Alabama They say that the Auditorium can be had in which to hold the fair and that everything seems to lend encourage ment to the scheme
