BLACK PATTI TRoUBADoURs.

Plack Patti, who is recognized the
world over as the greatest singer of her
race, enjoys the further distinction of
being the stellar feature with BLACK
Patti Troubadours. There are forty
people in the company, which includes
at least a score of speciality perform
ers. The stage scheme of the Trouba-
dours is no less interesting than the name
and fame of its star. 1t consists of a
happy medley of comedy, burlesque,
vaudeville and opera. The opening skit
is called GA Rag Time Frolic at Ras-
Bury Park in which the entire Com
pany's forces are afforded full scpe for
their diversified talents.
The operate feature which occupies
the final half hour of the performance
serves to to introduce Black Patti and
the operate fore es in an attractive stage
scheme and which is generally conceded
TO be the grand feature of the perform
ance.

BY BOHEMIAN c. BULGER

Probably few of the busy citizens who hurry along the crowded streets of Birm- ingham in these days of progress and in- dustrial activity have ever paused to con sider the great trials and vicissitudes of the : pioneers who launched this marvellous cen ter of mineral wealth into existence.
 Those were the days when rugged men of moral and mental strength were required to withstand the temporary seasons of de- pression and prevent the collapse of what was destined to be mighty city. Through the fickle streams of doubt and skepticism they steered the frail craft until it had passed all the dangerous shoals and break CTS and has finally drifted into a great sea of industrial prosperity, at which the Worlo stands astounded.
 The man at the helm of this sturdy craft was the late Col James R. Powell, famil- iary known as the Duke of Birmingham" !" 10 his endless toll and ability the present standing of the city Is due. He came to Birmingham in the early days of the ''sev- enties," when many acres of swamp lands were what is now the center of activity of a great city. Col. Powell saw great future in these desolate looking lands. and threw his whole life and energy into their devel- opment.
 < In June, 1871. before the issue of the city s charter, he organized the Elyton Land Company and was himself made president Application was made for a charter, and s..e company bought 4,150 acres of land in the center of which now stands the railroad passenger station. The price paid for these lands was in some instances as low as $7 per acre.
 The Charter Granted
 During the month of December, follow ing, the charter was granted by the State of Alabama, and the large tract of land was laid off in blocks and lots. W. P. Barker a skilled engineer, had been employed to do this work, and it is to his great art that Birmingham Is now renowned for its sim metrical blocks and straight, broad aven- ues and streets.
 Soon after the organization of the Elyton

 at any rate, man very different
 S in all respects from the cotton grower that the civil war bequeathed to us. He may be as Independent and as much or a wealth accumulator as his predecessor Of the nineteenth century was dependent ana poor.
 South Carolina seems to be pointing the way to ultimate success In three enter prises that need mention without reference to each other, but simply as three inde- pendent pointers to the possibilities of cot ton culture in the next century.
 In Laurens county, at Goldville, a rail- road station about midway between New berry and Laurens, MT. Blalock, wealthy planter, is preparing to erect on his plantation a cotton factory to cost about S0,000. He already has In operation on his planta ton d cotton seed oil mill. When the proposed cotton factory is in operation, containing as 1t will about 5000 splndles and a proportionate number of looms, Mir. Blalock will be prepared to carry his seed cotton to commercial firms, to his own profit, and the profit of his neighbors and the glory of his state.
 Mir Blalock Is perhaps the wealthiest and most resourceful planter in South Caro- lima, and the example he is setting points the way to the re-establishment of the plantation on a firm basis; for when the planter can take to himself the net profits of all the processes between the seed form and the commercial products, he can laugh at low prices for the raw material, while he meets the competition of the world. In order to do this he must be both a planter and a manufacturer. There is no other road to the rehabilitation of the planting interest on footing of assured prosperity, and MT. Blalock may be the forerunner of long line of millionaire I planters.
 At Edgefield a work of similar nature is going on prosperously. Seven years ago the Edgefeld Manufacturing Company es- abolished in a modest way public ginnery, fertilizer factory and oil mill all in one building. About a year ago 1t added another building, and in the new building 1t placed spindles and looms. Thus amid the cotton fields of Edgefeld county there are at one spot a ginnery, an oil mill, a fertilizer factory and cotton mill. The Edgefield Company Is a revolution In some respects, but 1t is not revolution as radi- cal as MT Blalock's, because 1t does not grow cotton.
 But at Edgefeld seed cotton alone Is pur- chased. The factory purchases seed cotton directly from the farmers built-up wagons. The wagons are loaded in the surrounding fields, and driven directly to the factory, where the burden Is automatically unloaded and carried to the gin stands. It may have been in bols an hour before. After the ginning process Is completed the stripped seeds are carried automatically either to | large seed storage warehouses or to the oil mill. If to the latter, they are at once l freed from all dirt and other foreign mat | ter, and are reginned in order to secure the short lint left by the first saws they were subjected to. The seeds are theI

Land Company, Colonel Powell surprised his associates, and in fact the whole coun- ty, by inviting the Alabama Press Associa- Lon to meet here two years in succession and to invite the New York Press Assoca- ton to participate in the last meeting. The New Workers were twitted by the pluck of the proffered hospitality of a town boastfully claiming future, while at that time it had neither place on the map to be pointed out to the traveller nor a convenient inn for the entertainmen of vis- iors. They, however decided to accept the consequences of what they regarded as a huge joke They came, saw and wtre con- quered, and by their pens made a place in the worlds literature for Birmingham. They saw Red Mountain near, an hundred miles long-a bank of red hematite. They saw the farmers living around the newborn town hauling over It's clay streets, or through by-cuts across the vacant and un- fenced lots, oX-team loads of the most bsau- tiful coal grubbed from the hillsides of their pasture lands.
