MRS. CARROLL'S
 CHARACTER SKETCHES

Commenting upon the character sketches which Mrs. M. P. Carroll presented in Au- gusta, Ga., not long since, the Chron- icle stated:
 ments ever held in Augusta was given un- der the auspices of the Daughters of the Confederacy at the courthouse last night. The hall of the daughters was filled to overfiowing and every auditor went away feeling that his evening had been well spent.
 The feature of the entertainment was the imitation by Mrs. Philip Carroll of the old-time southern darkey's dialect and also that of the typical Georgia Cracker in the ante-bellum period. Mrs. Carroll's portrayal of the southern girl before the war was excellent, and her singing and declaiming was of the highest order.
 Her relation of incidences before the civil war and her portrayal of the ante. bellum darkeys and of that class of peo- pie known by the negroes as poor white trash" ellcited much applause from the spectators.
 Mrs. Carroll is brilliant woman. Those who know her well, know how gifted she is, but few were aware of the high or der of ability she displayed last night Her characterizations were most charming and her Representations pleasing and captivat- ing as well as faithfully illustrative.
 Those who heard her expressed the keenest pleasure over the delightful en- tertainment she provided and pronounced her portrayals captivating in every way evidencing an intimate acquaintance with her subjects and mastery in presenting them that few persons possess. Her lec- ture was a triumph for her and treat for those who heard her.
 Mrs. Carroll will appear in Birmingham the afternoon of February 25 under the auspices of the Study Circle and for the benefit of the Public Library. Her com ing is welcomed by those who have heard her as decided treat
