Standing Room Will Likely
be at Premium.

terday, a good block of the first floor
seats being disposed of. Those who
come first get best seats then 'unsold.
1t is expected that today the house
will be practically sold out Those
who come this morning will be able
to secure some good seats, but for
those who delay until Monday the
chances are not very fattering.
In it's criticism of THE Mayor of
TOXIC" which appeared in Atlanta on
Wednesday night, the Constitution
says: THE Mayor Of Toxic" was at
the Grand last night with John L.
Kearney taking the part of Marcus
Orlando Kidder, the one created by
the popular comedian. Mr.. Kearney
has ability and was appreciated by
his audience, especially in his songs
''Foolishness" and 81 Like You," and
their attendant features, which were
decidedly clever His work at all
times was we'll above the average.
The familiar tuneful members of the
musical comedy were rendered with
good voices"
The Atlanta Georgian said: Not
many of the topmost lights of comedy
shine more brilliantly than John L.
Kearney, who appeared at the Grand
Wednesday night in The Mayor of
Toxic"
Seats are certainly going like hot
cakes" said Manager Lucas yester-
day The advance sale this morn
ing was most gratifying and bears out
my belief that every seat in the house
will be sold and standing room be
at a premium when the curtain rises
Its a great show, with a chorus of
fifty girls and will be by far the
best of its kind here this season: 1t
usually plays only in the large cities.
It's great opportunity for Americus
people to see a metropolitan produc-
ton at home We are assured of an
attendance from outside towns, some
over fifty miles away 1t will surely
be an event"

VETS OF ALBANY WANT
SHAFT IN AMERICUS
Think This City Proper
Place Therefor.

ALBANY, GA, Feb. 7.-(SpeciaD-
At a special meeting of Camp William
NJ Slaughter, United Confederate Vet
Grams, yesterday, resolutions were
adopted endorsing in strong terms the
movement of Georgia Daughters of
the Confederacy for the erection of a
monument to Major Wirz.
The resolutions contained an ex-
preston of conviction on the part of
the members of Camp Slaughter that
the memorial should be erected at
Americus rather than at Anderson
vile and that every camp Of veterans
in the state should be represented at
the unveiling.
The hope is also expressed that the
Inscriptions on the monument shall
be written in the interest of the
truth and justice rather than for the
purpose of avoiding possible offense
to other sections of the country.

Commission Ready to
 Build Won1an's College

iere decided that s5o.oo0 should be subscribed by the two Alabama con ferences. This was to be subscribed to meet the generous offer of the heirs of John J. Flowers, who offered S50.- 900 provided a like sum should be sub scribed by the two Alabama Confer ences Rev. !. M Dannelly, the fin- ancial agent of the college reported to the Coneference Commission that the two conferences had pledged about s40.o0o of the amount in the face of the recent financial panic. He was quite sure that the other would be subscrib- ed and he saw large part of it al- ready in sight. -
 It was noted that the conditions of the gift of the Flowers heirs were positive and exact. The money must be subscribed by the two Conferences by next fall.
 On hearing of the report of the fn- ancial conditions of the College Fund. Rev. A. J. Lamar and Judge W. H. Thomas offered a resolution declaring that the Building Committee should be authorized to ask for and receive bias for the construction of the main build ing and one dormitory, according to the plans of the architect. It was further provided that separate bids for each of the siildinss. should ae asked for
 This resolution was adopted unan- imously by the Commission. ,.~s.zs-s.ss-5
 The bids will not be asked for at once. It is plainly stated that the ar chitect should prepare the plans and specifcations and until this Is done the bids can not be asked for.
 The Commission was further in structed to confer with Mess. Sellers. Zirkle and Moore with reference to rm. w-Ia .sxfw he The business of this conference will be to lay out the walks and grounds on the handsome college property
 The details of the two handsome buildings which are to be erected in the near future will be announced as soon as they are worked out by the architect. They will be as handsome and as substantial as money can make them for the promoters of the college are building it for all time.
 The set policy adopted by the col lege Is that 1t shall be of the highest grade of Southern institutions. The buildings will be erected with the view that the institution is to occupy a front rank in the educational insti- tutions of the South.
 The establishment of the college is an incident in the history of Montgom- cry in which all people of the city takF ViIai fnAcFests me WHoie Clly will labor for the success of the in situation. It fills. too. a singular over sight in the life and history of Mont gomery. The city has never been an educational center. Why this should be it has never been satisfactorily ex- plained, for by location, environment and aspirations. Montgomery is an ideal location for a college. The city. therefore. takes q vital personal inter est in the Methodist College and its welfare.

 The City of Montgomery has done It's part and the work is soon to begin on the Methodist Womanis College Bids will be advertised for at once and the preliminary steps will pc taken towards the erection of the in- stitution which will mean so much to the Methodists of Alabama and to the people of Montgomery.
 The first building to be erected will be the main building and one Of the dormitories.
 The Building Commission at a recent meeting in Montgomery surveyed the field and decided to go ahead with the work. The Commission has preceded cautiously and conservatively. The Commission has been sure of it's ground before each advance. The or iginal intention of the Commission was to begin the actual work on the buildings last fall. This was postponed because of the financial panic. In the panic there was necessarily some delay in the collection of the promised sub scriptions.
 The City of Montgomery had pledg- ed $50 900 In cash to the college m addition to the splendid site of twen- weight acres situated in command : ing hill on the woodley road. three miles from the city. The greater part of this amount had been collected last fall. The local committee after the overwhelming financial panic had some difficulty in collecting in cash the h. nal S5,000. This had been secured in frst-class negotiable paper and at the building meeting of the Building Com mission, Captain A. G. Forbes, Pres idcnt of the Montgomery Commercial Club presented a report showing that the money promised by the city was in hand with the exception of a small part which was In paper that would be handled by the banks when 1t was needed.
