 At the close of the service Mfr. Jones said he would not consider the meet Ing a success unless q debt of more than SlO,000, which is still on the church, was raised and the debt clear ed. A subscription list was started. and in a very short time the required amount was raised.
 It, was arranged that the subscrip- tions shall be paid ln three payments, one.third cash, one-thihd in January, 1908. and the balance in January. 1910.
 MT. Jones left this morning for 6lo- cun1b, wh ere he will spend few days, going from there to Montgomery for a short rest. and then will SO to Anda- IusIa. where he will hold his next re- Vtval meeting.

IS A RARE TREAT
ENTERTAINMENT BY DISTINGUISH ED sOUTHERNEH AT THE GRAND.
Polk Miller, Platform Lecturer and Orator, Comes to Montgomery Heralded as the Greatest
 DiaIeetfefan.

Polk Miller. the distinguished plat form entertainer and delineator of the old Southern plantation Negro, will make his first public appearance in Montgomery at The Grand tonight.
 Probably.ro man living can SO truth fully depict the scenes of plantation life in the South before the war. Mir. Miller's entertainment consists of a graphic description of his boyhood days on a Virginia plantation, introducing in story and song {accompanied by the bantol the peculiarities of the old plantation Negro. which recalls those happy days to the oid-time Southerner. and gives to the younger generation an insight to that time which cannot be had through literature.
 Robert J. Burdette says: Folk Mill Ter has no rival. and really no conn petitor. in his line. Stories. songs, poems. touching bits of word painting. banjo solos--he is a master in every one of them. He does not only rep resent the old-time Negro--he photor graphs and photographs him"
 The character of Mir. Miller's enter. tainment is sol varied that 1t Is almost impossible for one to, become wearied. and very few people who hear him once will fail to hear him again should an opportunity occur, The best proof of this Is that in Richmond. Va, his home. he has appeared over and over again. and every time is greeted with a packed house.
