County Politics.

"The lull which has been noticeable in county politics for the past week will give way to much activity after the meet ing of the county democratic executive committee" said a county official
 Many of the candidates for county offices have already done a great deal of active campaigning but it has been noth- ing compared with the activity for the next three months.
 Everybody has been wondering what action the committee would take at it's meeting and when that is definitely set tied they will go to work in earnest Of course most politicians feel that the committee will decide to call the primary in March, but there has been a feeling within the past few days that this inten- tion might miscarry and candidates have been eager to have the question definitely settled before beginning their active work.
 ''I look for one of the warmest cam paigns next spring that has ever taken place in our county politics There are so many well known and popular men contesting against each other that the interest in the final result will increase every day from now until the result of the primary is announced "

there is nothing in the report of gen. eral interest, except it's figures as to the outcome of the present and the coming fiscal year. It presents this table:
 Surplus. Deacit. lsOS July s54297. .667 ....... lvO4 July 1............ 14,0000OO .......... lSVo July l............ ......... S2S,OO2.14e
 The changes noted in the table are due in part to decreases in customs re- ceipts, and in part to expenditures on public works The estimates of Sec. retary Shaw will be used to CIT off river and falhor appropriatlons, but tie estimates are based on liheral ap- propriations for such works. There is little reason then for a refusal of an appropriation for a work of known value to the completion of which the government is fully committed.
 Political appropriations should he shut off, including a service pension for all federal soldiers of the cisl war "a scheme intended to catch votes at a cost to the general government Of about thirty million dollars n year. There is more danger from a deficit on account of such appropriations than there is of one on account of appropria- tions for public buildings or nayigable rivers, or sand-barred harbors.

The World of Music.

Interest in music is being revived this winter" said an old amateur. MT. Thom- as, the organist and director, has done good work in organizing and training the Birmingham Choral society and I learn that Mrs Gussen will soon reorganize the Treble Clef club.
 Those who failed to attend the organ recital at the South Highlands Presbyte- rlan chruch Thursday night missed rich treat. MT. Thomas played as only virtuoso can play and his choral forces acquitted themselves with high credit. Miss Minnie Cahill of Bessemer, the so- prano soloist, made a great hit
 Tt is hoped that MT. Thomas will give series of recitals this season. His coming to Birmingham is certainly an important acquisition to our musical talent

HAVE you INvESTIcAT.
Ed OUR PIANO
CLUB?
Many Are Joining Daily
FOUR DAYS - TWENTY-SEvEM
MEMBERS.

A modern idea of piano selling
which was recently introduced in
Philadelphia, with phenomenal sue
cess. 1t means a large saving in the
price to each member. Practically
each member secures piano at
wholesale price.
Our competitors will try to dis
abuse the fact, we know, but then you
must not expect them to praise this
cooperative plan" of piano selling.
for they do not understand 1t. One
dealer goes so far as to offer one
Of our club members 500 off of the
price Of his piano If she would send
the one back received from US, but
upon investigation she learned that
an additional SIS would not CORE
spond to our price on the same grade
of instrument.
In a Nutshell.
We can sell 400 pianos to 400 buy
ers just as cheap as we can sell 400
pianos to one buyer. Do you see the
idea?
Here Are the Prices;
The regular $225 styles will be
turned over to Club "a" members now
for S14S and the $275 pianos for
1884; all $500 pianos at $217; 1925
pianos at $3.50; $3.50 pianos at $24S
to Club "B" MEMBERS and the very
finest medium grade instruments that
could not be sold under regular re-
tail conditions for less than $500 will
go to Club &c" members for $3.50;
s425 pianos for 1906; $3.50 pianos for
$332 and s475 pianos for $368; the
most beautiful. regular. $500. highest
grade, fancy hand-carved pianos will
go at 1886, and all $3.50 styles for
1928, and $500 styles for $496 in
Club 3D."
Corresponding reductions are made
on every one of the 400 fine new pi-
amos included in this sale.
The celebrated Chickering, the great
artists favorite (Weber) and the
Vose & Sons, Kimball, Hobart M.

mann, Milton. Weser and many other
standard makes are included; In fact,
all instruments in stock.
Make your initial payment and re-
ceive your piano at once, that Is all
there is to it--no extras, no red tape,
no dues, no waiting.
Do not imagine because the pay
| ments are so very small and because
| the prices are 50 astonishingly low
| that these instruments are not of the
highest order. 1t will pay you to in
vestigate these club sales without de-
lay. Parties out of the city will re-
ceive prompt attention and full infor-
nation by correspondence.

1T THE THEATRES


Anna Held and girls! That was the
whole show at the Spokane theater
last night. OF course Mile. Held was
first, but the bevy of pretty girls
who surrounded her ran a close Sec
ond and received their full share of
attention from the audience which
filled every available seat and occu-
pied standing room.
THE Little Duchess" Miss Held's
latest musical comedy. denotes an
other evolution of the old form Of
Entertainment introduced to the
tAmerican public in 1.-The Black
, Crook"
Ideas have broadened since then
and the stage manager and dress
maker have improved in their re-
spective arts.
The production last night was a
dazzling array of color. The lights.
scenery, costumes and handsome
women combine to make a kalide-
scopic display that has not been
equalled in this city this season.
AS for the Held herself, she is in
comparable. Not that this petite
| woman is a singer, for she is not (;
not that she is even more than pass
ingly pretty, but because she pos
sesses in a great degree that mex
plicable something called personal
magnetism. Men and women are
alike attracted to her and in such
| cases one never tries to analyze
| where the attractiyeness lies. The
Held eye, the Held smile. the Held
piquancy-that may be all, but it is
enough.
The musical comedy has little to
recommend it. Without the star and
the pretty girls, even clever actors
and handsome costumes could not
make it go. However, under existing
conditions, there is enough dash and
swing to it to make it decided sue
cess. and the Sadie" girls. the fenc-
ing girls and other varieties of girls
will not soon be forgotten.
! Among the men members of the
cast-and they must come last in a
production of this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ly clever work is done by Joseph w.
Herbert George Marion and Knox
Wilson. Edouard Durand is a dash
| ing French dancing master and
Frank Rushworth is acceptable as
the English lover. Frame Ebert,
well remembered as the chief come
dian of the Liliputians, is decidedly
amusing in his tipping scene.
THE Little Duchess" also drew a
large audience at the matinee per-
formance yesterday afternoon.
