ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

George Washington, Js.,4 at tHe Jef- ferson theatre last night. wss typieally Gohanesque and altogether delightful. While most of the songs had already be- come familiar to Birmingham theatre- goers, they seemed to take on d new charm The comedy was bright, snappy and full of the breeziest bits of Amer ican humor. It was also plentifully inter- larded with patriotism and sudden ap- peals to the love of his native land that is born in every true American There is in the play lesson on title hunting and American snobbery that Is carried home in vigorous fashion by the develop ment of the plot.
 The company was large and capable. Carter De Haven danced with surpasslng grace and he made the part of George Belgrave, through reasons of policy, George Washington, Jr., one that was spirited and true to the ethics of mod ern times when the son knows more than the father ever dared to know. MT. De Haven ingratiated himself into the favor of his audience by hard work and an evident desire to please
 Flora Parker, dainty and petite, most fetching little brunette, was charming as Dolly Johnson, sweetheart of George Washington Jr. She sings sweetly and dances with d pretty grace John A. Boone as Senator Hopkins and Jack Rafael as Senator Belgrave were both very good indeed, while Willie P. Sweat man as Eaton Ham of Alexander always looking for a tip he never got, made the part 8 fine bit of character acting. Others who appeared with credit were Edward Lester as the bogus Lord Roth burt Loda Hoffman as Mrs. Stebbins, and Lola Hilton as the bogus Hon. Evylyn Rothburt.
 The song hits included the familiar "The Grand old Rag" Virginia" All Aboard For Broadway" and If Wash ington Came to Life. The accessories and costumes were most attractive. The musical numbers were given in captvat- ing style.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING,
Representatives of Southern States
 Are Assembling.

Columbia, s. G., November 1S.-The Southern States Association of Commis- sioners of Agriculture and Agricultural Workers begins it's annual three days session here tomorrow. Delegates from the entire south, from Virginia to Tex as, are expected. The programme in cludes many prominent agricultural workers who are to discuss various subjects.
 The association will issue an estimate of the south's 1907 cotton crop, ob- tained by state officials. Among the subjects to be considered are the Appa- lachean forest reserve, the pending bill on drainage, inland waterways the pending measure on agricultural edu- cation and southern immigration and the establishment of direct steamship service enabling the cotton producers to deal directly with the European con- sumer.
 F. J. Watson, secretary of agricul- ture commerce and immigration of South Carolina, the president of the or ganization, will preside.

the Hanion Brothers, opened a weeks engagement at the Bijou last night. "A good house saw the performance, which gave general satis action, and furnished much amusement
 "Superba" comes for it's annual en- gagement, but with radical changes in all lines. Not only the stage settings are new, but the book of the play has been rewritten and brought up to date in a number of ways. The performance is full of new things for the delecta- ton of those who love pantomime and the ridiculous acts of a clown in the mysterious and divertlng country in which the scene of the story is laid.
 The show is decidedly a scenic produc- ton, but there is nothing lacking to make it success and pleasing dive sion. The numerous gorgeous transformation scenes. with their delicate lace drops, the gold and glitter of electric effects carry the pantomime to it's completion One of the pleasing features of the show is the pony ballet, said to be the high est salaried organization of it's char acter on the stage In Les Cierges and Fluffy Ruffles" and other special numbers, 1t is indeed an attraction.
 The three Blanchet brothers and Ran dolph, in a refined musical number, and Miss Bessie Brown in specialties. con tribute largely to the performance.
 The tricks this year are all up to date and present several novelties. They are sudden and astonishing; people ap- pear and disappear in the twinkling of an eye. Walls turn inside out. animals turn to fairies and fairies to demons.
 "Superba" is performance of Il scenes and is somewhat lengthy, but there is never d moment when interest lags or where slow progress of the plot makes it tiresome Everything goes off with rapidity, and the show should prove a popular one.

At the Hippodrome.

The indoor circus opened at the Hippo drome last night with several nrst class circus acts, headed by the James Dill lon company, and several typical circus performers in various feats of skill and daring A portion of the Dillon equip ment did not arrive from New York in time but the act in full will be presented tonight including the trained horses, one of the prettiest and most effective pieces of animal training in the world. With MT. Dillon are Miss Winnie Van and Miss A. Adeline, both expert riders.
 Prince Youturkey, a Japanese wire walker. presented double slide from the roof to the floor on a rope, first standing and then sitting. He also per- forms a number of stunts on a tight rope. The Wheeling Wheelocks, a bi- cycle trick act, Is neat and clever, there being two graceful riders in the act, one of whom is a clown. The two Werntz offered an aerial act and a contortion speciality, both cleverly presented.
 The big feature of the nights perform ance was the animal act of Leon Last man, who reaches a climax in which he places his head in the open jaws of a tger, an act Wnlcn IL IS ciaiiheu IS per- formed by no other animal trainer on earth. The Flying Bicketts. family of aerial artists performed some start ling feats of skill in aerial casting, which on more than one occasion electrified the audience.
 With the Fox Shows is John Lowlow, the famous Georgia Cracker, one of the oldest and best known circus men in the world. He was for years with the old John Robinson shows and is known throughout the south.
 There are two performances daily. aft ernoon and night at o'clock and 9 o'clock. with skating sessions before each performance.

PANAMA BOND ISSUE IS
 APPROVED BY BANKERS

 sh orts took to cover hastily as soon as the plan was announced.
 In this city some of the leading bankers announced that propositions were under way for the resumption of business on normal cash basis. and 1t was said that inside of ten days at least the clearing house certificates would be withdrawn from circulation. Leading business men here agreed with the bankers that the Panama bonds and treasury certificates would be of great force in bringing the affairs of the country banks to the conditions prevailing three months ago.
 All of them were of the opinion that the issue of $150,O00,00O would be sub scribed several times over, and the report from St. Louis that one man there was anxious to take one three- hundredth of the total issue was cited as proof of the accuracy of this opin- ion.
 Railroad men, particularly those con-

nected with lines running to the west and southwest were greatly pleased with the decision to issue the bonds and certificates. They asserted that 1t would supply the ready money which is needed at once to move the crops. The opportunity to secure government securities would, they declare, at once unlock great amounts of currency which at the present time, with the ad- dition to the funds of the banks which would inevitably put an end to the scarcity of funds.
 Not In Chicago nor in any large city of the west has any banker or promi- nent business man been reported as en- tertaining other than favorable views of the situation.

Bond Issue a Fine Thing.

Philadelphia. November S.-ln discuss ing the issuance by the government of s15O, ,00O0OO in certificates and Panama canal bonds in this city today, bankers declared that it will have an immediate and salutary effect upon the financial situation, and will restore complete con fidence in banking institutions. With out exception the bankers agreed that money that Is locked up will be readily invested in the government paper, thereby bringing out resources that the banks could not have secured without such aid.
