LIVE STOCK TO Be
FEATURE OF FAIR
FAMOUS CATTLE AND HOGS WILL
BE BROUGHT HERE-OVERTON
AT THE FAIR.

One of the features of the live stock
exhibit at the coming State Fair will be
the hog and cattle display. Special eff
forts are being made by the management
this year to make the live stock depart
ment an educational school to farmers
in Alabama, and as a result. some of the
finest herds of cattle and hogs in the en-
tire country will be brought here
Among these will be the famous herd
from Overton Hall farm at Nashville.
Tenn, owned by Jesse M. Ovetton. There
will be carload of Jersey cattle and
carload of Berkshire hogs, both together
being valued at $4,000 The Jersey ex-
hihlt is headed by an imported COW. Lady
Vernonia, valued at $500 The string of
Jerseys and Berkshires consist of the
very best English and American strains,
and there is not better selected herd in
the country than these.
1t is believed that bringing these fine
cattle and hogs to Alabama will awaken
new interest in the live stock industry in
this state, and that it will be the means
of stimulating Alabama farmers to pay
more attention to the great stock raising
feature of farming.
The Overton herd is now at Syracuse,
N " on exhibition at the New York
state fair, which is In progress there this
week in the exhibit there are twenty
one Berkshire hogs and seventeen Jersey
cattle. They will come TO Birmingham
under the management of Reuben Cen
try, manager Of the Overton Hall farm.

ARE PREPARING FOR A CLOSE
AND EXCITING CONTEST FOR
SHERIFF.

The contest between ]. P Stiles and
z. L. Higdon, candidates for sheriff in
the turnover primary to be held Septem-
Der II promises to be one of the most in
teresting and closely fought campaigns
ever witnessed in this county.
Friends of both candidates are claiming
a victory, and both aspirants seem con-
hdent of the result There is a great
deal of speculation as to which candidate
will receive the support of the five de-
feated candidates, and the influence that
support may have on the result in the
second primary.
Higdon headquarters on Twentieth
street opposite the Metropolitan hotel is
one of the busiest scenes in town already.
Kinds Peevy is still managing the Hig-
don campaign. and is being flooded with
letters, and is receiving many callers Of
fering support and making inquiries of
the progress of the canvass. The Biz
mingham travelling men have organized
in the interest of Higdon They will
hold a meeting next Saturday night.
Mr.. Stiles friends are equally active in
the interest, and are organizing all over
the county.
The Stiles Young Mems club, which was
formed a few nights ago. held an en-
thusiastic meeting last night in the office
of the chairman, Joel F. West, in the
First National Bank building. The at
tendance was large. and several short
addresses were made. The membership
of the club is made up of some of the
most prominent young business and pro-
fessional men in Jefferson county. Owing
to the large attendance expected, it was
decided to hold the next meeting of the
club, tomorrow night. in the office of the
circuit court clerk at the court house.

evening performance. and the IS r. o."
sign might well have been hung out by
Manager McArdle. The opening bill,
Rice and Bartons Rose Hin Folly COM
pany, captured the audience, and there
was not an act song or speciality on the
bill that was not eneored from one TO
five or six times.
As is well known. the theatre was form
erly the O'Brien opera house, and 1t has
been only recently remodeed from top to
bottom, repainted and refurnished. 1t is
brilliantly lighted and comfortable in
every respect, just the kind of theatre
that large number of theatre patrons
in Birmingham have been wanting for a
long time.
No better extravaganza show could be
desired than the one presented by Rice
and Barton. The company is large and
contains several people of marked ability.
The chorus is also large, well drilled
and the costumes are striking One very
noticeable thing is that the management
has chosen bevy of very shapely girls,
and among them are several good voices.
The bill consists of a three-act extrav-
aganza, with several excellent vaudeville
numbers There is little or no plot to
the play, but what there is serves to
introduce the song specialties of which
there are some score; the comedy situa-
lions, the marches and the living pic
lures.
The first act is the beginning of the gay
life of two old married men. They meet
a charming actress and are soon In the
midst of suppers, parties and masque-
rades. Their wives find out what is go
ing on and follow their husbands, and
the troubles follow thick and fast
The leading parts are assumed by
George W. Rice and T. f. Thomas, the
gay husbands Idylla Vyner, the pretty
actress; Henrietta Wheeler and Eta May
Ashton, the kives; Blanche Newcombe,
Mile. Beatrice and John E. Cain.
The men in the cast introduced several
specialties, which are freak stunts. as
1t were but they capture the crowd, and
the applause was deafening last night.
Thomas and Rice are particularly clever
in their comedy parts.
In the olio, Blanche Newcombe made
a big hit as Buster Brown" in several
new songs. JOln II. Nalil, marry Evans
and the company gave a clever comedy
entitled The New Boy" and Patton and

JUDGE DAN GREENE
TO THE GRAND JURY
Pistol Toting and Blind Tigers
Are Condemned
CAUTIONS THE JURYMEN
No Necessity for Carrying Arms-Even
No Necessity for Carrying Arms-EVen
When Men Have a Pistol 1t Is of
Little Service When
It Is Needed.

Yesterday in the first division of the
criminal court of Jefferson county, Judge
Dan A. Greene organized the grand jury.
after which he gave the members brief
but lucid charge upon their duties.
The grand jury is made up of seventeen
men with w. NJ. Drennen as foreman. The
other Jurors are J. P. Cox. A. j. Stetson,
o. B. Short A. c. SIM ]. d. oGara. J.
IT. Chandler ]. H. Hagood, G. w. Roe
buck, A. L. Sharritt, R. N Mcdaniel
E. j. Robinson, Henry Nurath. Joseph
Meighan, Robert Fulton Russell Booth
and Horace Archble.
G. w. Reeves was sworn as special bailin
and Jack Stallings as official stenog-
rapher.
The Charge.
In his opening remarks Judge Greene
called the jury's attention to the impor-
lance of the duties entrusted to them and
to the oath which they had taken to act
without fear or favor in their investiga-
tions. He explained the distinction be-
tween felonies and mlsdemeanors, and told
them that there are certain misdemeanors
which are better overlooked inasmuch as
society suffers no apparent injury from
them; while there are others which are
attended with very serious consequences
Bribery in elections was one of the
great scandals of today and should be
stamped out if they desired to render it
possible for men of moderate means to
become candidates for public offices.
Pistol Toting.
1.-THE concealed pistol and the 'blin4
tiger" said the Judge, Constitute the
two fruitful sources of the crimes of the
present day. Let 1t be known that 1t is
no longer respectable to walk around with
a Pistol in the hip pocket; that no gentle
man would be found going about armed
like a thug, and the practice will socN
fall into disrepute.
There is no necessity for any man
going armed in the city of Birmingham.
and experience has shown that even when
men have had pistol in their pocket the
weapon was of very little service when
the occasion arose to use It,"
1.-THE blind tiger" the Judge said, was
another great evil, as 1t set the law at
defiance and took away the respect lor
the law which all good citizens should
observe"
Jury Cautioned.
Judge Greene cautioned the grand jury
against the danger of letting their DELHI
erations become known to the public and
IN support OF his remarks gave the his
tory of the institution.
He told the jurors they would have the
assistance of the solicitor in all doubtful
matters, and upon no account to admit
evidence which would not afterwards be
admissible on the trial of the defendant.

The Jefferson Theatre.

Neill Burgess, supported by very good
company, gave his familiar performance
of 1.-The County Fair at the Jefferson
theatre last night. The house has been
newly decorated and elected many ad-
miring remarks. The scheme of decora-
ton is beautiful and elaborate. The mech
anlsm for the new curtain did not reach
town on time. but Manager Douglas states
that 1t will be ready for the next at
traction.
1.-THE County Fair is a rural comedy,
with a touch of melodrama here and
there, that is well known to theatregoers.
Mr.. Burgess Is a comedian who occupies
a unique field, in that he won fame by
his personatlon of an elderly spinster. Mr..
Burgess Abigail Prue Is something more
than a burlesque. He makes the part
both convincing and entertaining. The
comedy of the play kept everybody laugh
ing last night.
The company was well balanced. Bart
ley McCullum as Otis Tucker was ex-
ceptlonally we'll cast, while Francesca
Parker as Tags was petite and vivacious.

At the BlIou.

Two capacity audiences approved Of
How Hearts Are Broken" at the Bljou
yesterday. and the engagement which is
to continue through the week with the
usual matinees will no doubt be popular.
The story of How Hearts Are Broken"
centers about young fisher-maiden who
has been duped into false marriage by
a man of the world. The subsequent
events, being closely related to actual or
possible facts. create an interest that Is
sustained throughout the entire unfolding
of the plot. The action of the play takes
place in a fishing village on the sea coast
of Maine, and the various scenes are well
presented. The reproduction of storm at
sea during the second act is the most
noteworthy scenic effect
The portraying company is large and
above the average. The most prominent
members are Eugenia Desserer. Lillian
Rosewood. Amanda Hendricks, Maria
Dantes. Jenette Dudley. Jack Hutchinson,
Howard LANCE Ed Dudley. Edward Rice,
Richard Freeman.

eager to come to Alabama. He said that
he was looking forward with pleasure
to his southern trip, and especially to
meeting a number of his friends and ac-
quaintances in Birmingham and other
parts of the state.
1.-THE reception was one of the greatest
sights 1t has ever been my pleasure to
witness. and many men who have seen
vast gatherings said that the reception
was the most impressive they have ever
witnessed. Alabama was we'll represent
ed. In fact there were about seventy-five
people from Birmingham alone. There
were in addition a large number from
other parts of the state, swelling the
total attendance from Alabama to some-
thing over 300. Our state was rAresent-
ed better, probably, than any other in the
south.
THE trip to New York was well worth
while If for no other reason than that we
could witness that immense crowd, a sea
of faces as it were. l will never forget
the sight and neither will hundreds of
others who were present"
