SPEAKING AT THE AUDITORIUM

William Jennings Bryan will be given a magnificent and enthusiastic reception in Birmingham next Thursday.
 He will arrive here at S22 in the morning over the Louisville and Nashville from Nashville, and will remain in the city until after Il o'clock in the evening. At 9:SO o'clock in the morning, escorted by com mittee of prominent democrats and other citizens, he will be carried over the Min eral railroad of the Louisville and Nash vile system. The trip will include Ems ley, Bessemer, Pratt City and other points of interest. Lunch will be served on the special train
 After a trip around the Mineral Mr. Bryan will be taken to the Morris hotel and will receive his friends for an hour or more. This reception will be held between 2 and o'clock in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon he will probably be driven about the city, and at 7:3O in the evening he will speak in the auditorium. He will. on this occasion, probably have the largest audience ever assembled in Birmingham.
 Will Give special Rates.
 The Louisville and Nashville and other railroads entering Birmingham have grant, ed a one and one-thrd fare rate for the round trip from all points in Alabama to Birmingham Last evening Captain P. Sid Jones of the Louisville and Nashville re- ceved the following telegram from General Passenger Agent Atmore, in Louisville: I've will instruct agents in Decatur and Montgomery and intermediate stations to sell round trip tickets to Birmingham at fare and a third, March 22 limited to March 24, on account of Colonel Bryans speech.''
 The Southern, the Alabama Great South ern, the Central of Georgia, and the Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham will do likewise, and it is probable that there will be a tremendous crowd in the city on this occasion from all over the state. The committee on arrangements have received telegrams from cities and towns all over the state, asking that special seats be re- served for their delegations. As far as possible this will be done.
 It is probable that the auditorium will be completely filled, something which has not yet occurred, the building seats over 5000 people. The front seats of the lower floor will be reserved for ladies and their escorts. It is probable that large num- Der of the members of the legislature will be present on this occasion, as 1t will be remembered that the legislature unan- imously declared for MT. Bryan as the next democratic nominee for the presidency.
 Indeed, next Thursday will be gala day in Birmin gham Democrats from all over Jefferson county, the Birmingham district and from the whole state will be in Blr- mingham to hear the recognized spokes- man of democratic principles deliver him. self upon the current issues of the day
