A COLONIZATION SOCIETY APPEALS
 TO THE NEGROES TO LEAVE AMERICA

in which he could take no action. There was nothing he could do in the prem- ises.
 At regular intervals the society sends have been furnished as possible colon ists. The circulars set forth at length the society's plans for carrying ship loads of negroes to Liberia. The fare on the uary Is placed at $50 This allows each purchaser of a ticket to carry 15o pounds of baggage.
 A feature of the plan is the payment in Tss sSe.9 sx sse that dollar a month may be paid until the $50 has been put up, when ticket will be issued the conhding applicant If negro amount is not paid back to him. but the society tells him in it's circulars that 1t will be kept to his credit until he can complete 1t and go on one of the later ves- sail each year. The coIonists, the circu- lars state. may carry farm animals, but for each horse or mule 80 freight will be charged. Dogs sheep and goats are charged for at the rate of s each.
 It Is claimed that the coienists will be temporarily looked after by the Immigra- ton Commission of the Liberian Gov ernment. which will also look after the home. It Is further claimed by the so- ciety that each head of a family will be given homestead rights on twenty-five acres of land by the Liberian Govern ment.
 The literature sent out by the society gives a glowing account of the climate the riches and the fertility of the soil of Liberia.
 Accompanying the circulars is an ap- peal to negroes to leave the South, of which the following sentence Is a sam pie: .,-. . -.
 The fioodtide of African emigration has now been turned on, and disfran- chisement, -persecutions. mob violence. lynchings an1 burnings at the stake have no terr ors to those who know what they can go to a land where such indignities and discl limitations are not known"
 The Liberian Colonization Society has the endorsement of the negro Bishop, H. M. Turner of Georgia. who has for years preached to the negroes that their worldly salvation was emigration to Li- beria.
 A letter from Bishop Turner to the of- fieeH of the society forms an important part of the socletys literature. The letter reviews the condition of the ne- gro and his history in America and de- ica.

RESULTED IN A FIASCO
SUNDAY CLOSING IN MoNTGoM
 FRY DIED A-BoRNING.
Police Chief Revoked Order Sunday Morning So Far as Related to Fruit Stands-Ordinance
 May be Repealed.
The Sunday closing movement resulted

The Sunday closing movement resulted in a fiasco.
 Notwithstanding an edict went forth from the office of Hon. E. B. Joseph. Mayor of Montgomery, that business houses should close and remain closed throughout Sunday and every other Sun day until Section 1132 of the City Code, otherwise the Sunday closing law, was amended or repealed, there was no mark ed change in conditions down town Sun day. In fact it was remarked that busi- ness houses which had heretofore kept open their doors on Sunday were doing business as before.
 Fruit stands, which were closed by order of Police Captain Taylor at mid night. when Sunday began, opened about o'clock and wares were sold through out the day News stands soda water and ice cream places did business and it was said by knowing ones that it was just as easy to secure whiskey and beer as on any other Sunday that had coma to Montgomery.
 But one arrest was made for violation of the Sunday law. Henry Winter. who conducts a saloon at l23 Monroe Street, corner of Lawrence Street, was docket ed for violating the ordinance. When the case was called in the Recorder 8 Court room yesterday afternoon Poh1e Chief Gerald asked that 1t he continued rntil today. Winter was not in court but his friends said he would plead gull ty and pay fine of $25 If this settlement W db St1Dl lO iCe SHicI as the representative of the city.
 Early Sunday morning Police Chief Gerald revoked his previous order so far as related to fruit stands and for nearly an hour oatrolmen were kept busy informing fruit vendors that they might resume business as on former Sum days
 The Italian fruit vendors were much disSoEccrt d ovcr the order to close. Some of them had no way to protect their wares from weather or 'eves and these were compelled to si, 'oughout the night and guard their property
 To the occasional would-be purchaser they mad but one reply.
 No sella; coma again
 When the prospective buyer sought fur ther information the Italian patiently but in laborious English told of the proscrip- ton placed upon fruit stands by me po- lice.
 Along about daylight Sunday Police Captain Taylor, as Is his custom. step ped into the street and bent his way to a fruit stand near police headquarters to buy apples. This is the favorite Fruit oi

BOSTON IDEALS MADE GOOD.
Smooth Performance at Theatre of ssSaid Pasha."

smooth Performance at Theatre of "Said Pasha."
 <, The Boston Ideal Opera Company at the Montgomery Theatre last night made good its promise that it would present popular prices.
 A large audience was present to wit ness the beginning of a weeks engage ment of the company and by Its applause that 1t enjoyed every minute of the en- tertainment. t
 Said Pasha'' was the bill and the opera vas produced in a most careful and I'd new the singers are in good voice and the entire company gave evidence of care full training. There was a snap about the performance that Is too often lacking with companies of singers accustomed to producing eight different operas in one week.
 James F. Stevens was the "Pasha." He has full well modulated voice. The Mexican nobleman was Sung by Lynn ParmIey whose tenor Is rich but not too strong. A. c. Burgess. as Hadad/ and George Lord. as Hockey were really fun- ny. They. are clever comedians who can sing as well as evoke merriment.
 Miss Nellie Andrews was Serena, Miss Elvla Cox Seabrooke was the Queen of the Aitara and Miss Florence Clayton had the character part of the stepmother. The three are pretty W9men ana eacn or them possess voices far ahead of those usually heard with popular price opera orsaniza- ,tions. ',rr
 Miss Seabreoke joined the company yes terday but this did not detract from her work last night. Her solo in the second act won frequent rounds of applause and her duets with MT.

BIRMINGHAM MEN HAVE
 SCHEME FOR LIBERIA.
Adroitly Worded Circular Letters Mailed Throughout Alabama Farmers Write Governor
 Jelks Who is Powerless

The "Liberian Colonization Society" of Birmingham Is making Tn Alabama a sys- tematic canvass for ns groes with $50 who want to emigrate to Liberia. The society advertises that the steamer Donald will sail from Savannah, Janury 20, 1908, loaded with colonists for Liberia.
 The society has for it's particular field It's efforts to secure colonists are not con- fined to this State. The society, in the circulars with which 1t is flooding the State. claims that in chartering a steamer public of Liberia. carrying negroes for moderate fare, 1t has solved the emil grafton question for the negroes. The circulars sent out from the Birmingham headquarters claim that at least one steamer year will sail from Southern port to Liberia.
 The officers of the society are Lee Cowart. President; N. D. Long, Secre- tary and Treasurer. and D. J. Hummer, Genera al Manager
 The society has numerous commission ed agents working in various parts of the State. These agents go among the negroes with glowing and more or less reliable accounts of life and ccnditicas In the Liberian republic. These agents address gatherings of negroes wherever they find them, in connection with their canvassing and agitation. The beauties of the colonization scheme as planned by the society are plausibly set forth by the agents.
 The work of the agents among the ne- groes has attracted the attention of farmers of several sections of the State. The matter Is subject of considerable discussion in certain of the rural dis tricts of Alabama. The activity of the colonization agents appears to be con fined to the country. The country negro the farm hand and small farmer, appears to be better subjects for colonization mis- sionary work than does the town negro. contented in his idleness.
 A farmer whose labor has been disturb ed by one of these active agtators has written Governor Jelks telling of the work of the agents and its results. The Governor replied that the matter was one

 His text was I Corintheans ii, 2, For l determined not to know anything among you. save Jesus Christ, and Him Cruel first overtures were made to him on the part of the church: and the manifest tokens of providential leading which had led him to leave the church he had served for seventeen years in Baltimore. and to Gregory said:
 'I look into faces today that are for the most part unknown to me. I knew nothing of your personal histories, your struggles or successes, but I do know also. we have been drawn together in the sacred relationship which begins to- day. For the past successes and victories of this church. I am devoutly thankful. As to its errors and mistakes, for all things human are foliible. I have nothing to do, and wish to have nothing; but rather to say let us forget the things which are behind and reach forward to the future which God opens to us, and press toward the mark of one high calling of God in Christ Jesus
 The keynote of the ministry which by the grace of God begin this day among you is found in words of the text: 1 determined not to know anything among you. save Jesus Christ and him cruci- fed"
