MADAME X, A STRONG PLAY,
FOHCEFULlY PRESENTED
Adelaide French and Capable
Supporting Company Pleases
Local Playgoers.

French dramatists have fur
nished American actors and ac-
tresses some of their best plays,
and seldom has La Belle France
sent US a stronger or more in
tensely interesting drama than
Madame x, which was presented
by Adelaide French and a superb
supporting company at the Co
lumbus Theatre Thursday night.
The drama deals with the trou-
bles of a fallen woman and her
love for an only son, and while
permeated throughout by sorrow
and sin, casts no pail of gloom
upon the audience, its somberness
being relieved by crisp epigrams
and intensity dramatic situations
which hold the attention Of the
audience constantly taut.
Miss French is an emotional
actress Of distinctive merit, and
her work in the title role was
most artistic. Her manner of
speech was not ranting or bonn
bastic, the deep emotion which
she is called upon to display in
many SCIENCES having been con-
veyed to the audience as much
by facial expression and jesticu.
lation as by word of mouth.
In Frederick Smith, who es-
sayed the role of Louis Floriot,
Miss French has a most capable
leading man. His acting, like
that of the star, was subdued,
life-like and natural, while NAL
colin Owen as Raymond Floriot,
the son of the outcast woman,
was excellent, bis speech before
the court of assizes when he is
called upon to defend his mother,
who is at that time unknown tc
him, on the charge of murder
having been potent feature Of
the performance. William Har.
ris as Monsieur Perrisard anc
Thomas Blondin as Monsieur
Merivel contributed clever bits o.
comedy, and the remaining mem
bers of the cast were entirely
acceptable in the roles assigned
them.
The play was adequatel,
mounted, and the performance
throughout was thoroughly en-
joyed.

Many More are Doubtful

Mexico City, Feb. 21. 1T is
certain that the new administra-

new revolution in addition to the
remnants of the old one. Three
governors of states in the repub-
lie formally have refused to recog-
nize Provisional President Huerta
and two or three others are
doubtful.

of the state of Coahuila, with

POWER OF THE SOUTH
WANTTO CUT REPRESENTATION
Progressive and Stand-pat Re-
publicans to Unite for Pur-
pose of Making Fight on
Democratic Party

According to a special recently
sent ont from Washington. regu-
lar and progressive Republicans
are preparing to get together for
a united fight on the Democratic
party, and with this end in view
will probably hold a national con-
vention in Chicago or some other
city in the Middle West at no
very distant date.
The proposed convention is of
particular interest to the people
of this section, as one of its
chief objects is to devise a plan
whereby Southern representation
in congress may be curtailed. the
curtailment to take effect in 1916.
when the next presidential ticket
is to be nominated.
The convention proposes also
to provide for unanimity in the
election of national delegates
through the agency of direct
primaries in all the states.
1t is said to be the desire of
both factions of the party to fix
things so Roosevelt, so far as the
organization is concerned. will
not be a problem in the next
campaign. Col. Roosevelt at
present is standing as leader of
a new party and refuses sug-
gestions of any sort of alliance
with the old party, but other
progressives seem to be in favor
of getting back into line. and
this course probably means that
the Colonel will be relegated to
/ political oblivion.

FINE PROGRAM is ARRANGED
Mississippi's First Home Science
Institute to be Held at Local
Temple Of Learning
This Week

The first home science institute
to be held in Mississippi will be-
gin at the Industrial Institute
and College next Wednesday and
continue throughout Thursday
and Friday.
This institute will be held for
the purpose of discussing the
problems which have arisen in
the teaching of home science in
the schools of Mississippi and
neighboring states.
Because the work is new and
untried in our State schools the
teachers of the subject have
found many difficulties. but all
are fired with interest and en-.
thusiasm in the work. In meet.
ing to talk over the problems,
a new inspiration will be gained,
higher standards for the work
will be suggested and more uni-
form methods of teaching
adopted.
Teachers of home science in
Mississippi and neighboring
states will be present. and will
be entertained in the Gormitories
of the college.

PRIMARY MAY DECIDE
THE POSTMASTEHSHIP
PLAN IS BEING DISCUSSED
This Method has been Adopted
in Other Cities, and There
is Talk Of Resorting to
it Here

Primaries to select officials of
various character and divers de-
erees of importance are becom-
ing more popular each day. and
the latest innovations in contests
of this sort are primaries to de-
eide upon postmasterships. With
in a short period after his in
duction into Office President-elect
Wilson will be called upon to ap-
point several hundred post
masters, and the Republican in
cumbents will naturally be re-
placed by Democrats. In almost
every city and town of i'm
portance throughout tie country
there are numerous candidates,
and, in order to allow the people
to express their preferences.
quite number of congressman,
upon whose Recommendations
postmasters are generally ap-
pointed. have agreed to hold
primaries in some of the larger
centers of population +, in their
districts.
A primary TO name the post
master was held several weeks
ago in Meridian, and the holding
of similar contests is being dis
cussed in Greenville and Green
wood. While Congressman
Gambler has not yet been re-
quested to sanction the holding
of a primary in Columbus. it is
not at all unlikely that such a
plan may be submitted TO him.
The local postmastership pays
q handsome salary, and it is
natural that there ara several
Columbians who would not be
averse to accepting the job. Up
to the present time only one can
didate has actively entered the
field. This is Capt. T. H. Sharp,
who besides having given many
years faithful service to the
Democratic party is well known
here and has hundreds of friends
who have signed petition re-
questing his appointment.
Prominent among the pros
pective candidates is Mr.. Jno. B.
Patterson, who for many years
past has been assistant post
master, and who. it is understood,
would not be at all averse to a
promotion. Mr.. Patterson has
discharged the duties of his
position faithfully and con-
scientiously, and it is currently
reported that he is more than
willing to enter into a primary,
and let the people decide the
matter.
The commission of Postmaster
Wood does not expire until Feb
ruary lst 1914, so there is plenty
of time to decide upon a plan for
the selection of his successor.

SMALLER GEORGIA
TOWNS WAKING Up
Madison, La Grange, West

stretching Out

Atlanta, March 2.-(Special )-Many of
the smaller cities of Georgia are waking
up. They have seen what cooperation
the state and in some few of the smaller
ones which have taken hold of the build
ing up problem.
As result of this observation. the bus
mess men of Madison, Ga. got together
the other day and organized board OF
trade. Several thousand dollars were SUBJ
scribed to be used as a maintenance fund
and for advertising purposes. and the
Madison people determined to go right
after new residents wherever they could
get the right kind, and build up the town.
LAGRANGE, In Troupe county, has only
recently done the same thing. LaGrange
is advertising in the newspapers, and Is
reaching out strongly for new business.
As result of the activity in LAGRANGE,
the neghboring towns of West Point and
Hogansville ''have got the bug and
there is now talk of organizing all three
of them for their mutual good and that of
the county.
Albany, Ca, is another city which has
Just manifested desire to stretch out.
Albany has grown surprisingly the last
few years anyway. but things were not
moving fast enough to satisfy number
Of the leading business men there, SO they
got together short time ago, reorgan-
lied their board of trade and appropri-
ated 5000 for a campaign.
Other instances of organized and CO.
operative effort on the part of Geor-
gia cities are coming to the front every
few days, and the indications are 1t will
not be long before every community in the
state is making long and strong pull
for It's full share of new business ana
new residents.
