DRAMA OF OLD SOUTH
 IS QUITE PLEASING
Cast of Play is Well Balanced and Makes Good Popular Priced
 Attraction.

The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" came to town last night and was almost as good as her name. That is she was so much more interesting than many of the other affairs which have proceed ed her that one was almost willing to believe she was the real article. Which means that The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" is pretty good popular price attraction.
 The story is as old as the south it. self There is the usual doting father and dutiful daughter and wOeful lack of funds to support them. There is the rich and thoroughly despicable neigh bOr who would either wed fair daughter or foreclose the mortgage and bring ruin to father. The old black mammy and her throughly "wuthless" man. The fond lover from the north who loves and is put aside but at the crucial mo- ment comes across with the cash, foils Jack Dalton ana wins the bride.
 There were no stars even of the least magnitude in the cast, neither were there any slaring weaknesses. Miss Leota Howard was an attractive Bar bara and Polly Sights gave d good sketch of an old negro nanny. The program says that Mir. Leland Webb played Mathew Martin and Matilda Martin. We are willing to believe a good deal as to Mr. Webb but We think we must aCquit him on this charge MT. Arthur J Woods was satisfying IS the hero. There are many worse shows on the road than The Sweetest Girl in Dixie"

VALUABLE AWARD FOR
MARKED Achievement.
Gold Medal Offered by Professor Spin
aarn, Ardent Champion Of the Race.

A white man interested in the well
fare of the colored race has offered
gold medal to be awarded annually to
the man or woman Of African descent
and of American citizenship who shall
have made the most distinguished
achievement during the year In any
field Of honorable human endeavor.
This announcement was made at the
fourth annual conference Of the Ma
tional Association For the Advance
ment of Colored People. an organiza-
ton composed of members Of both
races, which met the other day at Phil
adelphia to discuss the race problem
and the progress Of the American Ne
gro.
The association has some 1900 men,
bers, has branches in fifteen cities
throughout the country and publishes a
monthly magazine. the Crisis, which
has 10000 subscribers

dent Of the associations New York
branch, Professor ]. e. Spingarn, for
twelve years professor in Columbia
university and one of the most ar
dent champions Of the civil rights of
colored people. He has offered to give
500 every year for the gold medal.
In making the offer Professor Spin
garn said: my idea is, not only to en-
courage and reward the black man.
but even more to educate the white
man. At least once a-year, when this
medal is awarded, the white people
Of the nation will realize that they
have obtained wrong impression Of
the American Negro from the Ameri-
can newspapers. They will understand
that the Negro is not criminal. but a
man with high ambitions and aspira-
tions. doing effective and honorable
work for the welfare of the American
people"
The award of the medal will be in
charge Of a committee Of five. to be
appointed by the aiional Association
For the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie, and the first award will be made
at the next annual conference Of the
association in the spring of 1914. The
associatio will welcome suggestions in
regard to the medal from all persons

such suggestion or to propose any man
or woman as worthy Of the prize should
