 This incident occurred more than F years ago. It was soon after Ethel Barrymore had decided upon a stage ea- Ter. She went abroad and secured small parts in Irying's company in order to get the training. It is this determined spirit to achieve and accomplish big things that has stood her we'll in stead and explains why she has triumphed in "MidChannel' to degree whereby she is now regarded as among the foremost serious actresses on the American stage.

Active Business After Elections

Nearly all lines of business have been rather quiet during the past two or three weeks but after the elections Tuesday a decided improvement is sure to be in evi- denee,s said B. H. Riordan of Phladel- phia.
 T visit various sections of the country and have been for several years past in close touch with the south. I have never known trade or agricultural conditions in the cotton states as healthy as now, and look for exceptional prosperity dur ing the next seven or eight months The south is destined to make the same won derful progress within the years to come that the west has been making since the civil war.
 The tide of population is now south ward Alabama has come to be appre- eiated as a state of great natural re- sources. It is certainly attractive to the home-seekers who have a little capital and who know how to farm

General Commerce

While Birmingham is known far and wide as a coal and iron center and as the place where the highest quality of steel rails are made. not many people away from this section of the country are aware, I take it for granted Of It's importance as city of general com merce, said Henry R. Coleman of Cleve- land.
 q have visited Birmingham about four times. My first visit was in 1896. mere was very little jobbing trade here then and very little of any thing to attract attention outside of industrial activity But today I find Birmingham's whoIe- sale business quite important and can see that in a few more years the Jopplhs interests here will be as extensive as those of some of the cities known es- pecially as jobbing centers. Birmingham has quite a cotton business, too ana altogether this is wonderful city.

Where Cotton Vas Grown This Year

It is generally believed that this coun- try grows nearly all the cotton of the world. This, however, is a mistake. America grows about one-half of the crop. as the following table shows:

The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-07

These figures are estimated in some in stances, but they are sufficiently ac- curate to demonstrate where the worlds S crop Of 1910 was grown.
 Perhaps the most surprising fact re- lates to the cotton growing done in Tn dia. Egypt, Soudan. South Africa, and the West Indies all British possessions. These possessions grew this year 5,50O,- GOO bales. Great Britain has 5O,o0O O0O srindles and she is steadily stimulat- ing the production of the staple, and in the long run she will be able, no doubt, tc grow the cotton she spins She de- rends largely upon the use of cheap labor and upon the most earnest efforts in every colony or dependency that can be induced to grow cotton.
 Our high tariff and high cost of living threaten the supremacy of this country in the cotton trade although here sun shine and moisture are more favorably intermingled for the growth of the plant than elsewhere in the world. The day W wnen American cotton will be outranked is, however, long way off. and per haps the Aldrch tariff will not last that long

Striking Illustration


 Nothing more strikingly illustrates to me Birmingham's growth than the re- port of Robert Jemison, Jr., president of the Corey Land company, showing that there is not vacant house or store for rent in Corey, and that there is a demand in written applications for 100 houses in that new industrial center said Frank H. Bell, who conducted the Corey adver- Using campaign. "I have never seen the promises of an advertising campaign so well and so quickly fulfilled as will be those of Corey.
 We based claims for the future of Corey on what we had every reason to believe would come true and already these claims are being more than justi- fled. We told lot owners that there would be a demand for residences and busi- ness houses, and there are on file in the office of the Corey Land company more than 100 applications for houses and business buildings What a splendid op- portunity this offers the owner of a lot at Corey to realize a handsome return on his investment. Every house that could possibly be built at Corey within the next six months would find an im- mediate tenant at a good rental and with good prospect of a purchaser By the end of the six months I believe there will be a. still greater demand for still larger number of houses.
 Already Corey has buildings costing over sSOO,OO, and it will require at least s2Oo.0o0 more to supply the present. de- mand. When the wire plant and by product coke ovens are finished and in operation there will be some 25OO men employed, many of whom will want homes for their families. It Is conser vative to estimate that Corey will have a population of 7500 within the year. and at least 1000 houses will be demanded to house those people Many of these steel mill employees will be men drawing good wages. and will want to buy their houses, and they will willingly pay good price for a good residence"

 Because he had exhausted his entire personal fortune, it is pleasing to know Dunant was pensioned handsomely by the Empress of Russia Also in 1901 he re- ceived the famous Nobel prize for serv- ices in the cause of peace.

 On the formation of the American Ma tional Red Cross society it's president, Miss Clara Barton. perceived a wider usefulness for its agencies, applying them to other great national calamities than war. such as famine, pestlence, conha- grations, cyclones and the like. Through her influence this wider scope was duly incorporated into the charter, being known the American amendment" The American Red Cross society was reorganized and incorporated by Con- giess in 1905. an act which brought it's workers whether in the army or in the navy under government supervision.
 The rescue work of Miss Bartons nurses, beginning with the yellow fever outbreak in Florida in 1888, including the Mt. Pelee eruption of 1902 and the ty- phoon in the Philippines in 1905, has extended through the era of the Span ish-American war of 1S9S and down to the present time.

 "It was enormously announced in a headline that the first lecture of the Lyceum course would be Tuesday night said Dr. J. H. Phillips.
 '"rhe lecture will be Monday night at o'clock and will be given at the High school auditorium. The speaker will be Dr. Thomas E. Green, one of the most noted of American platform lecturers. who will give his famous lecture, The Key to the Twentieth Century-A Study of American Dynamics.
 "Dr. Green is highly praised by the press of the country as well as numerous men in public life, who know of his en- oowments. He has been called the most intellectual man on the American plat fcrm': the prince of American lecturers, and the Webster of the west
 Some prominent citizen will introduce the speaker The attractive nature of the lectures included in the Lyceum course this year has caused the sale of an unusually large number of season tickets, and it is an assured fact that the attendance at the opening event will be large"
 Pinero's Faith in, Ethel Barrymore
 When Charles Frohman suggested to Sir Arthur Wing Pinero that he should cast Ethel Barrymore for the role of Zoe Blundel in the celebrated dramatists s latest play. "Mid-Channel," the most sue cessful of living English playwrghts readily acquiesced. It seems that Pinerc had studied Ethel Barrymore some years ago. In letter to MT. Frohman the dramatist had this to say:
 You remember how fond I always was of dropping in to see Sir Henry Irving in all of his plays and of my custom to step behind the scenes for chat with him? Well, one night I had watched a new Irving production at the Lyceum When I went back found a young gir weeping in great nervous excitement and disappointment I sought an introduction with the girl and asked her the cause ot her grief. She had a small part to do but had concluded that she had failed.
 II told her she had not. To me her work stood out like fine cameo. There was charm and naturalness about il that was as remarkable as her youth and beauty Here was case of simple unaffected acting in that company, the majority of whom were working as hard as they knew how. So when you wrote me about Ethel Barrymore play ing Zoe Blundell and I readily assented ing. for she was the girl found weeping
