professor Napoleon"

A creditable performance of "Profes-
sor Napoleon musical extravaganza,
was presented at the Jefferson theatre
last night by large company of Birming-
ham amateurs.
The young people, several hundred in
number, acquitted themselves well, as a
whole and several of the musical num-
bers were surprisingly good. In fact, the
music of Professor Napoleon is excep-
tionally tuneful and pleasing to the ear.
Presented by professional company. the
piece would provide an evening of rare
entertainment from a musical point Of
view. without exception the songs were
of the lifting sort that catch ones fancy
Immediately
When one considers the amount of
work necessary to train so large a COM
MANY the performance last night was
good. With little less stage fright in
evidence and more familiarity with the
lines it could be made better. Most Of
the performance was devoted to musical
numbers, including ensembles and solos
all appropriately costumed and presented
with the assistance of large choruses. At
times the stage was filed with little
folks who entered into the spirit of the
occasion with an enthusiasm that won
them much applause. In fact the little
chaps as a rule, sang with more volume
than the older performers.
Happily, there was very little dialogue
in the piece, a fact which spared the
audience and the trembling neophytes
treading on the trailing gown of Thespis.
The principal roles were entrusted to
wyatt Hefln, who got off some good
Jokes; Miss Amelia Markstein, who
showed dramatic ability and sang well;

SPECTATORS HAVE
PLAYED LAST CARD
HARVIE JORDAN SAYS THAT THE
HOLDERS OF SPOT WILL SOON
REABLE TO DICTATE THE PRICE
OF COTTON.

The following statement in regard to
the cotton situation in the south, made
by President Harvie Jordan of the South
ern Cotton association, was received in
Birmingham yesterday:
Notwithstanding the recent heavy and
unauthorized depression In the price of
spot cotton, due to bearish speculative in
fluences, the great majority of spot hold
ers have stood firm and refused to be
panic stricken over the extreme tactics
pursued by the large cotton buyers and
exporters to shake out cotton from the
interior of the old states We are now
facing comparisons with enormous re-
ceipts one year ago. Last March there
came into sight 100000 bales and in April
$4,000 bales, or during those two months
as much cotton as there is in the south
to come into sight for the balance of
the season. More cotton came into sight
last March than there is now left in the
hands of the spot holders on plantations
and at interior uncounted towns.
1.-THE spot holders will continue firm
and remain mistaken while the exporters
who are short in their contracts are being
forced to the ports to beg, borrow or buy
supplies for immediate requirements. The
worst of the depression is already over.
The combination of spnners, spectators
and buyers have played their last cards,
and the holders, by remaining steadfast
in the possession of their staple, will soon
be able to dictate prices and force the
market to 10 cents.
Cotton goods are weekly advancing
in price, and the demand cannot be filled,
many mills having already taken orders
as far ahead as December and into next
year. Mill sales are based on the future
price of spot cotton as splnners healize
prices will advance in the near future.
Remember that last March with cot
ton at cents, IN the fact Of a 100000
bale crop, those who held received 1Oh
cents early in July. Do not get discourage
ed. Mill men say raw cotton is worth
10 cents and that they are prepared to pay
1t If they cannot get for less. If the
staple is worth 1t, every interest in the
south should assist the holders to get it.
Let there be no break in the ranks. The
supplies from the interior of the south
west are practically exhausted. and all
buyers must soon turn their attention to
the holdings in the old states Do not
get panic stricken, but have only one
price in view for the balance of this
crop, namely Is cents. Plant less cotton
and increase the food supply crops. Cur
tail the production of cotton, so that what
is grown will be absolutely required by
the consuming world and will, therefore,
command profitable prices.
1.-The slogan for the next two months
throughout the entire cotton belt must
be DIVERSIFICATION, less cotton, more
food supplies and an absolute refusal on
the part of spot holders to market their
middling cotton for less than 10 cents.
Show the world normal acreage and
fixed determination to demand 10 cents
for the balance of this crop"

DETECTIVE BoDEKER RETURNS.
Birmingham Officer Is Well Pleased
With the Laws of New Orleans.

Detective George II. Bodeker has re-
turned from New Orleans, where he en-
Joyed the Mardi Gras festivities. Mr.. Bod
eker saysAhere was great crowd of Wis
itors in the Crescent City and that many
officers from all parts of the United
States were there. The detective says that
all were treated royalty by the New Or
leans police department. which he con-
siders one of the finest in the south.
There were but few crooks in New
Orleans during the Mardi Gras festiv-
ities,' said Detective Bodeker yesterday.
ION account of the stringent laws of
Louisiana pickpockets and criminals of
this class gave New Orleans a wide berth
The lowest sentence for pickpockets there
is five years in the penitentiary. and bond
is never fixed lower than $1,000. 1 would
like to see such laws adopted by Bir-
minghafl.'

of the best numbers on the programme
In the second act the Banjo Girls
proved to be a pleasing novelty. Miss
Maye Allison sang her songs in a sprlght-
ly manner that showed decided talent as
a soubrette MY Chosen Chief" by Miss
Buckshaw, was well sung and was one
of the best numbers of the perform
ance. Always Say No." by Miss Nun
nally and chorus, was another attractive
number while Love Is All Sufficient"
was rendered in good style by Miss Anne
liza Markstein and Mr.. Ryan. A solo by
Miss Bertha Van Merkestyn was greatly
enjoyed
II Is safe to assume that the perform
ance this afternoon will be much
smoother than that Of last night, while
the performance tonight will be better
than either of the other two, as the
company will be less subject to stage
fright - better rehearsed.
A large audience was present last
night.
