AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
The John Wills Musical Comedy
Cnmpany This Week.


The John Wills Musical Comedy
Company will be at the Academy Of
Music tonight, tomorrow night and
Saturday night. The Birmingham
Age-Herald has the following to say
about this company:
"The John B. Wills Musical Come
dy Company began an engagement
at the Bijou last night which prom
ises to prove exceedingly profitable.
The offering last night was mu-
sical farce, entitled. In Atlantic
City, a hodge-podge of music, COM
edy and burlesque which was well
received. The audience was In an
unusually receptive frame of mind
so much so that several numbers
were persistently encored.
"'In Atlantic City was much bet
ter. than was expected. In fact,
the piece as whole Is hrst-class
summer entertainment. Many catchy
musical numbers are introduced.
while the comedy features ere very
good. Chas. Brewer as Otto Buck,
q retired brewer, and Walter 8. Wills
as Reginald Van Cott and later
Hinkey Dee, tie bell boy, kept every,
one laughing with their absurdities
Mr.. Brewer is an amusing fellow and
Mr.. Wills contrives to perpetrate
some surprising achrobattc novelties.
These two with the support Of the
company, made the performance well
worth seeing.
1T is noticeable that the girls In
the Wills Company are rather fresh
looking and several are endowed with
more than the average share of good
looks. The songs rendered with the
aid of the chorus were encoredr es-
pecially the finishing song. when the
girls angled among the front row
chappies with their rods and lines.
Several young fellows seized the bait
and refused to let 80, with the re.
suit that much amusement was
created.

Wednesaay, Dec. %.

-
You remember, Mr.. Editor. that
the name of Julia Acadmey appear
ed among the prize winnee last
year.
Well. that seemed to inspire the
patrons and trustees to greater
things. We spent the prize money
for patent desks and this yesr tho
trustees have added enough to fur
nish the school. Also handsome
globe can be numbered among the
Improvements. Considering the
small number OF patrons (only about
six regular. cne for example send
ing eight childreny I;think they are,
making rapid progress.
This year the school is under the
efficient management OF Miss Sal
lie Riley. OF Blythewood. S. c., who
seems to BE an excellent teacher.
She enters heartily into the work Of
improvement, and seems to believe
that "giane oaks from little acosns
grow"
She, with the local association to
aid, has movement on foot to put
q musical instrument in the school
which will certainly be OF great ben
eat. Thus far, this band OF willing
workers have not wearied in well
doing. and, combined with the
teachers energy, we feel sure of
success.
She wants to give the people
their moneys worth on Wednesday
evening, Dec. 22d. in the form OF
short, spicy entertainment. &.
No one has ever failed to have
good time at Julia Academy. Sup
pose you try 1t, Mr., Editor. We
will be glad TO see you.

WHAT OTHERS
HAVE TO SAY

The Seventeenth general assembly
has adjourned amid shower of bou-
quets and bootjacks from the Patter-
son organs. The Press has been ur-
able to keep tab on the doings of
our solons, but is willing to accept
the News estimates of Blakey and
Goodfriend, which are highly COM
mandatory. Aside from that, it still
ndheres to the belief that the most
pernicious foe to Democratic unity
for progressive legislation has been
T. NJ. Patterson. Whether intended
or not the slurs, insinuations, rumors,
extravagant praises and reckless
charges, flung in all directions even
before the legislature met, was above
all other things calculated to create
distrust, discord and factions, and
the result should be satisfactory to
Democracy's Trouble Maker.-Lead-
Vile Press.
The legislature did not do anything
worthy of mention. The Democratic
party, which was in power, must suf-
fer for its representatives. There
was, however, but one line along
which any legislation could have been
accomplished. and that was for the
caucus majority Of the Democrats to
have yielded to the minority and fol
lowed them into Patterson's camp
Patterson's few members early in the
session, made tie up with the Re
publicans which gave them strength
to control legislation in the session
and In the caucuses they refused to
abide by the majority of the party
membership. With Pattersonism as
an alternative we have only com
mendation for those members who
chose rather to do nothing than to
submit to Patterson dictation tc
enact into law Patterson socialism
We regret the failure Of a primary
bill and Of the bank guarantee. Pat
terson, however, made either impos
sible and the Democratic party had
as well learn now that 1t must get
rid Of every suggestion Of Patterson
influence before 1t again tries to wir
an election. It had better lose than
win with Patterson. He's a JONAH
