THE problem Of popular education
is one that presses most heavily upon
us. There is no measure that we now
think of that would more directly and
sensibly benefit the South than this
one, and we hope it will be pressed in
season and out of season until it IS
realized in law and in fact.

his way and walked under 1t, to show
his contempt for an old superstition, In
doing so he brushed against the ladder

Captain links of the Horse Marines

Ndptdln JinkS or tn0 horse Marines.
 Ethel Barrymore pleased a large and fashionable audience at the Jefferson Theatre last night. Of course the play Captain links of the Horse Marines"-- and other members of the cast had a small share in furnishing amusement, but Miss Barrymore reaped the lions share of attention. To be sure it was intended that she should, but she earned whatever applause she got by clever, conscientious work
 Captain Jinks' is little more than 8 farce comedy. It deals with an opera singer making her debut in New York during the early seventies. Her encounter with newspaper reporters on landing at the dock furnishes fun from the start. Then Captain Jinks and his friends are introduced. Captain links had previously made wager with a friend that he would flirt with the fair opera singer Miss Barrymore. This incident in the hands of 0 rival causes the only serious situation of the play when the opera singers foster father tells her she must give up Captain links.
 Miss Barrymore is youthful, piquant, and gives a refreshing atmosphere to the play throughout. She has good support in George w. Howard as Captain links, and there Is not a mediocre member of the company.

Tim Murphy.

MT. Timothy Murphy in "A Capitol Comedy" will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre Friday night. As the title emphasizes. this is play of light and amusing vein. an deals with Wash ington life. The author, like the actor, is a resident of Washington, and they both know the curious, interesting and charac- teristic phases of our wonderful national city. "A Capitol Comedy Is not a tiramatization of a novel, It is not writ ten because some book of its name has sold well and suggested profitable specu- Iation. The play was written because there was a story to tell an interesting complication of circumstances which weave a quaint and amusing man Into its meshes The character of Joel Gay in the story suggested the rare combination of control of laughter and tears, which only Mir. Murphy seemed to possess. He at once fell in love with the role and se- cured 1t for his use. Mir. Murphy asked that the character of Joel Gay be not fitted to him. He preferred that the story develop naturally without regard to personality. When "A Capitol Comedy was finished he threw himself into the part, and as an artist should, consulted the nature of the character instead of asking that his own points be consid- cred The poetic justice of this praise worthy point of view is that Joel Gay is the greatest achievement of MT. Mur- phys career.

were any advantages to be gained by go- ing into Birmingham, he was in favor of it, but he really didn't see how anything was to be gained.
 MT. Tom Smith spoke in favor of annex atiQn. but said Tt looks as if we are go- ing to- lose it tonight" He said that he had rather pay the increased taxation of one per cent If they went into Greater Birmingham and "get something'' than to pay their present rate of taxation of one half of one per cent and ''get noth- ing" He criticized the Avondale authori- ties for the deplorable condition of the streets and believed that by annexation with Birmingham this matter would be remedied.
 MT. Mahoney said he was in favor of their agreeing unanimously on whatevr course they decided to pursue, and to be united either one way or the other.
 MT. Gus Alien, MT. John F. Grady, Mr. Brown MT. Eloridge, MT. Sudduth and Others spoke against annexation.
 Read Drennen's Letter.
 By request, the chairman read letter he had received from Mayor Drennen, chairman of the Greater Birmingham Committee, appointing him and Mr. c. P. Beddow as the representatives of Avon dale in the general meeting. MT. ,Maho- ney humorously moved that the letter ap- pointing these two gentlemen be ignored, and that the meeting appoint Mr. Bed dow and MT. Starbuck as their represen- tatives at the Greater Birmingham meet ing and that they be instructed to vote against annexaton. The motion was un- animously carried.

 We have city of some 10000 people, and invested capital of more than S15,- GOO, 900. and a. pay roll of more than S300,- GOO, monthly; we have accomplished this in less than four years, and prospects for our continued growth and prosper ity were never better. There is no prac- tical reason why we should now become part of a city that has less upon which to depend in an industrial way than we have-when the foundations for a great city have been laid here and the work of building so far advanced. We can not surrender our individuality-we can ha0Ona rf Of afrao 1S.t Is not an individual expression, but the sentiment of all our people.
