~THE PLAYs

Charles Frohman will give Birmingham theater-goers a great treat for Thursday night at O'Brien's opera house, when he will present the comedy, "The Little Min ister," written by J. M. Barrie and taken from his famous and popular novel of that name. Undoubtedly this play holds the rec ord for phenomenal business. The engage ment in New York extended over a period of 300 nights and to houses at every per formance that packed the theater to the doors It was only taken off to give the company much needed rest. Since tho comedy was sent on the road the business 1t did In New York has been repeated wherever it has been seen. The Boston engagement was most remarkable. It was necessary to give extra matinees at the Hollis street theater during its run there in order to accommodate the people desir- ous of seeing the play. Great care has been used in the selection of the company. It's presentation here will be in every re- spect a perfect one The company Is sure to be greeted by very large audience. The sale of seats has been very large.

Whites and Blacks Threaten to
 Clash, AN UPRISING OF NEGROES Sedition Inspired by Former Me-
 gro Soldiers. TWO WHITE MEN WERE SHOT All Was Quiet Last Night - Sheriff OBrien Dispersed the Mobs With
 out Trouble-Deputies
 Still on Duty.

Shortly after midnight occurred fresh outbreak between the blacks and whites at Dolomite, when posse of deputy sheriHs and citizens was fired on by an armed moo of negroes The fire was returned by the posse Captain O'Brien was immediately communicated with and endorsements were at once sent to the relief of the depu- ties. Captain O'Brien left later with sec ond posse.
 The brush occurred in the dark and it is impossible to tell whether any of the ne- groes were injured. Many shots were fred and it is possible that daylight will reveal several wounded. The white citizens and officers came out unscathed and so far as heard none of the negroes were injured. The white posse was out in search of some of the ring leaders of the unr1ly ne- gro element when suddenly they were fired upon by the negroes. The whites were led by Deputies Ball and Waldrop whom Sheriff O'Brien had left In charge.
 The three negro soldiers who, 1t Is thought, are the instigators of the upris- ing, were among the foremost leaders of the blacks After the first volley the whites charged among the negroes and captured sixteen. A later telephone mes sage said that the soldiers were in custody When Capt. O'Brien left on a special dummy he gave out the contents of mes
  sage saying that the officers had succeeded in routing the negroes and were masters of the situation. No further clash had oc- cured.
 The prisoners were coralled In the com missary and will be brought to Birming- ham today.

Will Be the Coming Carnival Celebra
 tion in May

President E. Lesser, of the Carnival So- ciety, is confident that the coming Carnival celebration will be a grand success, and with the assistance of the various commit tees is lending every energy to make it a memorable affair in the history of Bir- mingham.
 The program will be faithfully carried out to the most minute detail. After the arrival of Rex Vulcan ". on Monday, May 8, the great Rex parade will take place, af- ter which there will be a magnificent fire works display in Central park, preceded by an open-air concert. Next will come the great Rex reception and ball masque of the Turn Verein at the auditor. um, as was originally planned.
 On Tuesday, the 9th, there will be three magnificent parades rlvaling all previous attempts of the society, and the official Rex ball at night All tickets is- sued for the balls in February are good, and holders are requested to keep their tickets, as others will not be issued.
 As soon as the mayoralty contest is set tied the several committees will begin &C., tive work to complete all arrangements, which are about perfected.

TENNIS SEASON BEGINS.
First Games of the Season Played Yes
 terday at the Athletic Club.

The first tennis games of the season were played yesterday afternoon on the courts of the Birmingham Athletic club, and there were several of the clubs experts out getting themselves limbered up after the winters rest. Most of the tennis men have been devoting themselves to handball dur ing all the winter months, but it is getting too warm to play indoors.
 The tennis courts have been rolled off and packed down hard, and all of them are in excellent condition. From now on the playing will be carried on continuously, and it is thought that the season will be an unusually successful one. tH

 Enough to Elect Him
 The next speaker was Nathan L. Miller, and in a short talk he discussed the ques- tions which have arisen in the campaign.
 q have been at work in the headauar- ters," said MT. Miller, "and l can assure you that enough men have already prom ised to vote for MT. Drennen to more than elect him. and don't believe they are that class of men who will go back on their promise.
 "I notice the News says that MT. Smith wants to use the mayors office for step- ping stone and expects bigger things. MT. Drennen is ambitious to be mayor, and his fight on the water question will convince any one that he is working for the interest of the tax payers. MT. Smith is politician - you, as he has been kept busy in the offlce he has held for several years. From business standpoint, I think MT. Drennen would make you the best mayor"
 'I don't believe it." spoke up Alderman Tom Wheeler. There's too much com missary about him.
 Lii Not Believe in Commis aries
 MT Miller replied that he did not believe in commissaries himself, but that the law should be changed and the man ought not to be abused; that most anybody would run commissary if they were able.
 Two or three rounds of beer were then served and cries of "Cason!" "Cason!" were heard. Tom Cason. candidate for po- lice commissioner, responded. He said if elected he would give the people clean administration and that his saloon would be closed on Sunday and he would see that the rest followed suit MT. Cason closed by saying he was not a speech maker, but would try and be a better police commis- sioner.
