When one is told that this very popular selection is but one of Is distinct hits woven into story of humorous situa- tions and delightful possibilities, he ex- tent and scope of the musical comedy IS more readily estimated.
 The great production and presentation of The Pink Lady" will be seen iere as given in New York city during the sensa- tional run of the piece at the New Am stei dam theatre where it remained for over sC0 performances, and also at the Globe theatre.

"The Pink Lady, and "The Heart Breakers" will be two noteworthy attrac- tions at the Jefferson this week. The first is already favorably known to the south, while The Heart Breakers" comes to us for it's first visit. With George Damerel as the star, we may anticipate an entertaining performance and 1t Is quite probable that "The Heart Breakers will be found one of the seasons best at- fractions, ''The Pink Lady will, of course, be cordially received.
 The "old-time'' burlesque show is grad ually passing into the limbo of forgotten things. Modern burlesque is cleaner, pet ter and more entertaining than ever be- fore and far-sighted managers have foun l the improvement we'll worth while, from financial point of view. Obscene situa- tions, vulgar jokes and risque costumes are being supplanted py the kind of en- tertainment offered by the better grade of musical comedies, enlivened with the usual ''olio" specialties. Burlesque is now being patronized .in some of the larger cities by women hd children, whereas 1t used to tbe considered an abomlnation. In the old days of the Gayety theatre in Birmingham, although some Of the shows were decidedly tough and ind .cent others had many commendable features and introduced some taleIfted entertainers When Birmingham becomes more cosno- poltan 1t is quite likely that a first-elass burlesque theatre will be opened here Properly conducted such venture would pay well, but there could be none of the theatrical filth that has offended ..gainst good taste in the past. The salacious show has ceased to be profitable, chiefly because 1t is often crude and vulgar and IS not presented In way that might ap- peal to people who are disposed to pardon an unconventional situation if 1t does not offend too much against good morals and has some cleverness to excuse 1t.

Waycross, Ca, Nov. 8.-The police
did not have to arrest inmates of any
houses in the restricted district of
Waycross today. The order of he
chief given ten days ago was observed
and all women who have been in the
restricted district have quit Waycross.
There has been no lodging, either The
women simply found that TO stay
meant Jail sentence and heavy fine,
and they decided that Waycross was
not exactly the place for them.
But for the fact that the grand jury
will be in session next month, it is be.
lieved many Of the houses would have
been moved across the city limits, be-
yond the jurisdiction of the city off,

court adiourns is something no one
knows. A number of the women
did not wait until today to leave. but
made a getaway several days ago.

UNDERWOOD'S
STAND RAIDED
BY THE POLICE
Big SEIZURE WAS MADE
WhiSkGy Was Concealed in
Iron Safe

One hundred and fourteen pints OF
liquor in bottles was the net result Of
a haul made by Police Chief w. C.
Barrow yesterday morning with Po-
licemen Bragg and Pouncey, when the
place of c. w. Underwood on Cot
ton avenue, near the Central passen-
ger depot, was officially investigated.
The liquor, mostly corn, was found
stored in the cavernous depths of a
huge iron safe. 1t was loaded upon Il
dray and hauled to police headquar-
ters.
Underwood. in the meantime, had
been placed under arrest. Later. he
was locked up at the barracks until
a bond of $1,000 assessed by Mayor
Mathis, could be arranged. This bond
is for alleged violation of a city ordi-
charged will also be assessed.
When the police entered the place
Underwood made no resistance to
search of the premises, but attempted
to close the outside doors of the safe.
which stood partly open He declined
to unlock the inside section when ask
ed by Chief Barrow to do so, 1t is
said.
The services of a locksmith were
secured, but this was not necessary,
as at the barracks Chief Barrow Sc
cured the key to the inner section of
the safe and, upon returning, discov-
cred the concealed liquor. The de-
fendant will answer to the next term
Of court upon the charge of violating
the state prohibition laws. This is
not his first offense, as year or two
ago his place on Cotton avenue was
raided and several barrels of whiskey
found there. He was fined $3.50 and
his beer license revoked.
The barracks just now resembles
the storage room of whiskey distil-
cry as much as anything else Stored
there are six or seven hundred bottles
of whiskey seized by the police in re-
cent blind tiger raids.

POST MORTEM
EXAMINATION
COMPLETED
AT ORDER OF PROSECUTION
In the LaramOfe killing
Affair

To the end of securing additional
evidence to be submitted to the court
in the preliminary trial of Mr.. Luz
ther Allison this morning for the kill
ing of Mr.. Robert Laramore, the body
of the deceased was exhumed yester-
day afternoon at the instance of the
prosecution.
The purpose of this examination Of
the body, it was said, was to deter
mine the exact location of the bullet
wounds inflicted by Mr.. Allison in the
pistol duel between the two men.
Four bullets from Allison's pistol
struck Laramore within small area
of the breast, while two or three Of
Laramore's shots penetrated Allison's
overcoat, glancing shots, evidently,
which cut the cloth only, although one
bullet is said to have made slight
flesh wound.
States counsel had fifteen additional
subjoenas issued yesterday for wit
nesse desired at the trial this morn
ing, and Deputy Fuller went at once
to Leslie and that vicinity to serve
them last night.

Responsibility
OF EDUCATORS
WAS STRESSED
upon THE LOCAL TEACHERS
At the Recent Teachers Meet
ing Here

Meetings of the teachers of the city
public school system have been gotten
under way for the term and school
year, the first extended meeting hav-
ing been held last Tuesday At that
time Superintendent Mathis addressed
the teachers on some phases of the re-
sponsibility of educators.
Especially was the idea stressed
that as the churches, schools and state
are separate entities in these times.
the responsibility of the teacher for
the moral education of the child is
even greater than before. This element
of education is so fundamental and so
important that it cannot be overlooked
Or treated lightly, as it Is the very
basic principle of education itself.
The meetings of the teachers will be
held every two weeks throughout the
school year Tuesday afternoons being
the time chosen for the meetings.
These meetings are OF much import
ance to the teachers, as they permit OF
the general discussion Of problems
that are common to the teachers in
all grades.

HOLD-UP
ON LOUISVILLE
& NASHVILLE
MASKED BANDITS LOOT CAR
Amount of Money Taken Not
Known

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. S,-Two
masked bandits held up southbound
Louisville and Nashville passenger
train No. at Blount Springs, Ala,
early today and after covering the
two clerks with pistols, ransacked the
mail car, securing booty amounting,
it Is stated, to nearly $4,000. The
robbers rode in the mail car a dis
ance of twenty miles to Boyles, a
small station near Birmingham, where
they left the train, after tying the
clerks to table. The police in Bir-
mingham were notified of the robbery
few minutes after the daring ban
dts had left the car and Immediately
began hunt for the robbers.
The robbers, it is believed, boarded
the train at Blount Springs, and they
made their presence known soon after
leaving the station there. They con-
cealed themselves behind table until
the train was well under way and sud-
denly covered the two clerks, James
M. Chamberlain and G. A. Hoover,
with revolvers, saying: 1--WE are not
going to hurt you" The two clerks
were then forced to lie upon the floor
of the car, after which the faces Of
the clerks were covered with empty
mail sacks, which the bandits rifed
the valuable packages contained in the
registered pouches. The express car
and passengers we're not molested.
The exact amount of money taken
by the bandits is unknown at this
time.

DEMOCRATIC
FLAMBEAUS
Will FLASH
in CELEBRATION MONDAY
Historic Torches Used in
Cleveland Parade

In. order that truly historic, flavor
may be impaired to the celebration
here next Monday night, linking it ap-
propriately to the last one of that
kind held here about twenty years
ago, a number of the flambeaus used
in the parade when Cleveland was last
elected will be used in the celebration
here Monday night.
A large number of these f1ambeaus
were left over from that noted cele-
bration, said City Marshal Smith yes
terday, and there are many of them
still in existence in and around town,
though the chances are that but few of
them can be secured for the celebra-
ton next Monday night on account of
the fact that it is difficult to find them.
According to Mr.. Smith, number of
these fambeaus were kept for a time
here by the city, but they were loaned
to some church in East Americus for
the purpose of being used in cele-
bration of some kind there.
These are typical fiambeaus, ac-
cording to the description given IF
them by those who saw them at the
Cleveland parade. They are more
than two feet long, with several wicks
covered with a tarry substance. In
addition oils or other combustible ma
terial may be used with them. Each
has also a pipe, which runs through
the handle ending at the bottom in
mouthpiece By blowing through this
pipe the fame of the torch may be
made to fare up and produce brilliant
illumination for time. Those who
witness the parade Monday night will
expect to see some of these historic
torches illumin ating the streets.
