Indications are that when Former Governor Robert L. Taylor Of Tennessee arises at the Auditorium tonight to deliver his famous lec- turc. "The old Plantations he win face the greatest audience that he has ever stood before. Tho lecture is to be delivered for the benefit of the Confederate Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek and tickets have been sold by the patriotic young women of Montgomery in nearly every city of the State.
 The various committees of ladies in charge of the sale of tickets in the different cities returning to Montgomery and they report splendid progress.
 The committee chspcroned by Mrs. William Kelly which has been wis tny Ann.stcn, Gads- den and Tallaiega selling tickets to the Iec- ture returned yesterday, Their excursion into the prosperous Alabama towns vas altogether successful In these three cite~ the young ladies sold tickets to the lecture to the value of $75o. The young ladies returned to Mont gomery with that amount and will turn It over to the treasurer of the camp that is be- hind the noble work of building the Mountain Creek Horne
 The young ladies of the committee which was chaperoned by Mrs Kelly were Misses Rebecce Pollard Daisy Block. Fannie Faber. A. Mayer. Rosalie sayre and Bessie Stern.
 In addition to the large sum of money real ized the ladies secured the donation of a car load of lime by m Anniston manufacturer.
 As tickets have been sold all over the State, the railroads will run special trains to and from Montgomery and will make reduced ticket rates.

 It was also announced that committeeman who have been engaged in selling tickets should report at 6 o'clock this evening for final settlement of their accounts.
 Governor Taylor will be introduced this evening by Hon. J. Tom Hef1in of Lafayette, who is himself lecturer of considerable repu- tation. Mir. Heflin will no doubt make pleas Ing address pand his introduction of Governor Taylor will be notable feature of the en- tertainment.
