AMUSEM EN IS.

At the Jefferson Theatre last evening, MT. Charles Dickson presented Mistakes Will Happen" to an appreciative audience, and one that would have been much larger but for the indictment weather.
 While some of the situations in the play may be a trifle risque, it cannot be denied that the play is bright, witty and full of 'go." And this after all is what an audience wants. If it is amused, as it was last even ing. and the acting is all that it should be, as is generally the case in MT. Dick sons companies, there is little, if any, foot hold left for the carping critic.
 When 1t is said that every actor and actress in the play was excellent, what need to say more? MT. Dickson himself as Tom Genowin filled the principal role to perfec- tlon. Miss Alma Whitsell as Mrs. Hunter Chase was especially graceful and fascin- ating, and Miss Nell McEwen as Dorothy Mayland, was all that the name Dorothy ggests-sweet, demure, and withal charm ing.
 The play abounds in fun and humor, and scenes like the. second act, which might with less clever actors become horse-play were simply roaringly funny.
 The plot is something new and original not a rehash of old comedies, and for this also MT. Dickson is to be thanked.

GOOD TIMES COME
 ID TIE FARMERS
Have Paid Out of Debt and Are Independent-PoIiticS
 in the Fifth.

Postmaster James T. Howle of Dadeville is in the city. He speaks in glowing terms of the conditions of the farmers in Talla- poosa County. He says since they have been getting 10 cents for their cotton that everybody has money and that hard times are gone. Men who'were formerly in debt and were actually in need of provisions have paid out of debt and are for the time independent. Il is the opinion of MT Howle that the farmers will, in a majority of eases, pay for their fertilizers III cash this year, and that many of them will do with out guano and will use manure and com post fertilizers to make the next crop.
 Speaking of politics, MT. Howle, who is Republican, says that the interest in the Thompson-Brew contest is intense. He says that since only one of them will make the race, that Milstead will get many votes otherwise he would have lost Mir. Howle says the Republicans expect to name the next Congressman in the Fifth District.

HAS CHILLS AND FEVER
And He Now Rests in the City
 Prisoni

Otto Willie, a young white man, was brought to the police station last night suf- fering from chills and fever. He had com- nlitted no crime, but was looking for shelter from the cold and rainy weather. He was taken from passenger train and placed in a hack by the con- ductor. The conductor gave the driver 1n- structons to take the man to some hospi- tai and stated that he had money to pay hIs way. The driver took the sick man to the Hilman Hospital, but on arriving there he was turned away, as no room was avail able Willie was taken to the police station and he lies there now suffering from fever. The warden says the prison is already crowded, and he is at loss to know what to do with such cases. He says he has had as many as six persons brought to the jail this week to be cared for

A FIRST SURVEY
 OF GREAT SEWER
Will be Begun by Fngineer Ken
 driCk at Once.
HIS OWN ARRANGEMENTS
And His Purposes in Direction of the Great Undertaking-Will Fol low the Lines of Village
 and Valley Creeks

City Engineer Kendrick has about com- pleted arrangements, and the work of mak- ing preliminary survey preparatory to building the big sewer through Jefferson County will begin on Monday Two squads of men will start to work In different direc- tions, one going from Birmingham to Ems ley along the line of Village Creek, and the other going towards Bessemer along the line of Valley Creek.
 It is the object of the engineers to locate the route of the great sewer as near the course of these streams as possible, as to give the drainage d natural fall and save much work of grading.
 Much of the route has already been sur- veyed, and the squads under Engineer Ken drick will attempt to make their survey so as to unite the sections already gone over. Speaking of the preliminary survey yes terday, Mir Kendrick said a great many persons are laboring under false impress sion as to the nature of this survey and its object He says he will not attempt to make a complete survey, as this would be inn possible, owing to the limited amount of funds available. No attempt will be made to select any particular route, but the ground will be carefully gone over so that an estimate of the cost of building the sewer can be made, and the committee can intelligently lay the question before the State Legislature.
 MT. Kendrick is very enthusiastic over the project, as for years it has been one of his purposes. In several of his reports he has recommended the building of such sewer, and as the district grows he recognizes more than ever the necessity of this sys- tenn of drainage.

COOLER WEATHER
Does Not Bring Comfort to Every
 body

On account of the cooler weather all the prisoners who have been confined in the Southside jail have been removed to the Northside prison where they can get the benefit of the wormer quarters.
 The prisoners are not the only ones who have suffered from the present disagree able weather The force of men who are engaged at night clearing up the streets have had a rather rought experience dur ing the past few days. And then the lot of the policeman has not been a happy one. Many of the officers had not prepared for the cold weather and have had to walk their beats these cool rainy nights in sum- mer attire.

..Zaza.,'

The attraction next "Wednesday at the Jefferson Theatre will, it is confidently ex- pected, be one of the notable and memora- ble of the season, David Balasco's latest and most successful play, "Zaza,' present. ed by Charles Frohman's company. It has been voted by practically all the reliable critics one of the most remarkable pro- ducts of the playwright's art seen in gen. erations. Certainly no play has been so susceptible of controversy, and there has been none in years with a theme so fraught with importance to society in gen. eral. The story of "Zaza" is known to al- most every one, whoever goes to the the atre; the play teaches it's lessons along with the heart throbs, for like Camille, 'Zaza" suffers from her own sins, and finds her greatest grief in her greatest love.

UNFRAMED MAN
Had a Fight, in Which He Got Best of

To The Public.

AT ameeting of the Master Build
ers' association, held at Florence,
Decem Der 7, 1900, it was unani-
mously decided to give this state
ment TO the public:
Our association has been formed,
and will be maintained, not to ar
bitrarily dictate bids, or control
prices, against the interest of build
ers; neither is it menace 10 or
ganized labor. We belive in, and
shalt practice, the utmost fairness
toward those who employ us, and
those whom we employ.
1t is fact, however, that the
growth of the town has attracted
here many irresponsible and in
competent persons who, in order
to be classed as contractors, have
offered to take, and have taken.
contracts at less than the cost of
labor and materials, with the re-
suit that legitimate contractors
have been deprived of the work,
laborers have been unpaid, materi
al men have been forced to file
liens and the owners of half fin
ished new structures have been
confronted by annoyances and the
expense of endless law suits.
We hold that such a condition
Is not only pecuniary loss to all
concerned, but is damaging to lie.
Ultimate business and an absolute
injury to the city.
We shall admit to our associa.
ton only fair, responsible and com
petent men; men who will do as
they agree, do it in legitimate
Way and without loss or annoyance
to laborers, employers, or others
with whom they do business We
shall try to keep our association
up to this high standard.
This being true, we claim, and
ask, the faborable consideration of
the building public; and, believ.
ing that our views are right and
our claims are just, we believe it
to be to the interests of the entire
community that our cause be heard
and our hands upheld in our eppo-
sition to the acts of the reckless
and irresponsible class above re.
ferred to. Respectfully submitted.
