and so Duncan Irving, surrounded
by all that is noble, all that is fine.
all that is meant by the word
friend" Is able to conquer over all
prejudice, all Islander. all hypocrisy
all malice to win back his epaulettes
his good name and his sweetheart.
Norman Hackett who takes the part
OF Duncan Irving. was talking the
other night about his part and mis-
play, and said that it is just this
strong friendship that made the
play what It is. Take away this
tremendous band OF fellowship"
said Mr. Hackett. and you lose the

brave as he is, could not have done
what ne did without this friend

 MANI LITTLE REUNIONS

The veterans bring with them reunions of all types The meetings of the old men themselves will be the chief feature, but the calendar includes daily sessions of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Southern Memorial association, the Con- federate choirs, the doctors of the Con federacy, the New York veterans, the Jeff Davis Memorial association, Wheel CTS corps and the Alabama veterans.
 The Sons will be in session at the Gayety theatre They will be welcomed by Birmingham orators, but their meet ings are of little interest compared with the great events at the Hippodrome.
 All during the reunion little side gath erings of old brigades and old friends who fought side by side in the war will add the real color to the occasion. It is chiefly for this pleasure that the gray haired veterans travel so many miles. Companions in the trenches are never for gotten
 The doctors of the Confederacy have been assigned headquarters in the Com mercial club rooms. The officers of this association are Samuel D. Lewis, presi- dent. and A. A. Lyon, secretary. The committee of which Dr. J. c. Abernathy is chairman has made arrangements for

A large quantity of wet goods was confscated by the raiders. Six of the men arrested in this raid were white.
 Deputy Sheriff George Parker picked up seven more during the afternoon and night finding them in alleyways, broad highways and various other places.
 Sheriff HIgdon has announced his inten- tion of enforcing the prohibition law to the limit during the reunion, and any person caught selling or giving away any Kind of liquid which if drunk to excess vill cause intoxication, will be charged with violating the prohibition laws and placed in the big rock.

MILLER AND BOOKER
 HERE NEXT TUESDAY
We'll Known Virginia Humorists Will Make Their First Appearance In
 Birmingham.

Polk Miller and Tom Booker, typical southern gentlemen of the old school, will appear at the Jefferson theatre next . Tuesday night and will reproduce in song and story a civilization about which Thomas Nelson Page, Joe Chandler liar lis and Ruth McHenry Stuart portray so charmingly in books. Polk Miller is as well known throughout the country, north and south, any of the famous humorsts, and MT. Booker is known and esteemed by every man, woman and child in Virginia. While Miller has ap- peared in public in New York and other large cities of the east and in nearly every southern town, he will make his appearance in Birmingham Tuesday night for the first time. Both Miller and Book use the banjo and as negro dialect humorists are simply inimitable Their programme will be made up under the general title of "Old Times Down South"
 Of Polk Miller Robert J. Burdette says: sIIe has no rival and no competitor in his line. Stories songs, poems, touching bits of word painting, banjo solos-he is master in every one of them He not only represents the old-time darkey, but photographs and phonographs him."
 The late Gen. Fitzhugt Lee wrote ,nis ef Miller: ''He has had no predecessor, fas no contemporary, and will have no successorl When he is sketching the 'fo' de war; negro if you didn't know he was Polk Miller, you would think he was d darlley of the olden times, and if you didn't know he was an old-time darkey you would think it was Polk Miller!'
 Among hundreds of newspaper apprecia- tons is this from the Houston Post: MT. Miller doesn't lecture-he just talks, plays the banjo to perfection, and sings negro songs in a way that beats a negro him. ,e1f''

committee, has gradually at first hand worked into close touch with the legisla tive needs of the greater city.
 His announcement adds a ginger and interest to the campaign which has hith- erto been left to the candidacy of Alder man B. H. Cooper. These two are both strong men, and their fight will be one of the snappest of the campaign.
 John L. Parker, who has been urged to run for the same office to succeed himself, said last night that he still holds to his last announcement and will run for the office under no conditions That practically closes the entris~ for president of the City Council.
 While the city committee will hardly meet before next week, the interest in the announcement of Harry Jones will hold through the reunion and means earfy politics soon finished,

Are you candidate for president of the City Council?" was the question asked Alderman Harry Jones yesterday,
 "Yes, I am in the race,' he replied
 Have you anything especially to say?" asked the reporter.
 Well" came the jovial reply, "I am going to make the race of my life and, confidentially now I'm going to win.
 Just as brief, snappy and to the point as would be his rulings in the chair if elected, was the announcement of the parliamentarian of the City Council. As a candidate for the first chairman of the biggest unwieldest board that Bir- mingham ever had, Harry Jones has to offer a quick judicial head fully con- versant with every department of the city of Birmingham, and is the man, who, as chairman of the Greater Birmingham

CITY BECOMING OCEAN
 OF BOLLOWY BUNTING

That Birmingham will be perfect plc- fire for the Confederate reunion is De- coming more evident every hour. As fast as the decorators can get around they are turning every building into beautiful color scheme.
 But the work which will really count has not yet begun. The three office buildings on Twentieth street, connected with the street decorations from First avenue to the park, will present towers and long stretches of bunting.
 The owners of the buildings will spend over $500, and beside this the occupants have gotten up fund From the street to the top story they will be dressed in red, white and blue, interspersed with the stars and bars Then Twentieth street will be decorated uniformly at cost of s6oo
 There is some criticism of the fact that so few Confederate flags are being useo Perhaps this will be remedied before Tuesday 1t is pointed out as especially important that the city hall and the Hili- man hotel carry few Confederate nass.
