Back to Richmond.

Back to Richmond.
 The Grayce Scott players, after weeks of trying to impress their worth on the Birmingham public gave up the strug- gle last night and the Bijou theatre will be dark this week.
 Without mincing matters the Grayce Scott players are leaving Birmingham broke
 They came here in early September with high hopes. Dewitt Moving, the versa tile character actor, and director of the company stated that only good stuff would be shown and he kept his prom ise while the money lasted.
 Between the first and second acts last night of Alias Jimmy Valentine" MT. Newng was seen in his dressing room.
 Hear. you're closing?" was the cheer full question.
 Yep was the reply, with a rueful smile 'I'm stone broke and I just can't pull the company together any longer. don't like to close and somehow it seems that in a week or two the public might have turned and supported us. but it's too late now.
 we nave snoWn only tne HiBnesl cidse of plays in Birmingham, but the people simply will not patronize the theatres for some reason or other. Take Bought and Paid For and Within the Law and the present piece, for instance. These plays, on which we pay high royalties. and which we offer at popular prices, de- serve support, but none was forthcom- ing, so we are boarding the choo-choo back to Richmond. We left Richmond to come to Birmingham and now we are leaving because the people of Richmond want us badly enough to pay our rail- road transportation back there again

GADSDEN

Gadsden, October 2S.-(SpeciaL )-Indica- tions now are that there will be only three candidates in the congressional race in the Seventh district. These prob- ably will be Congressman John l.. Bur- nett Capt. L. R. Rainey and Watt 1T. Brown. The first two named have been campaigning for several weeks, but MT. Brown has not definitely decided to en- ter the race, although he indicates that he will. It is not now considered likely that Judge J. E. Blackwood will enter the race. He probably will be candi- date for reelection for circuit judge. for which place he will make an exceptionally strong race. Friends speak of him as timber for the supreme court bench.

No Desire for Whiskey

Gentlemen-I have thought for the Ia st year or two that I would give you a tes- tlmonial in regard to your treatment for the Whickey habit. I took your treat ment VI September. 1906 and l had been drinking off and on for four years When arrived at your Sanatorium I only weighed one hundred and twenty pounds slept and ate very little; in fact the only appetite 1 had was really for whiskey. V have never touched a drop since I fin ished my treatment-in fact, have had no desire whatever for liquor in any form l sleep and eat well, have gained in weight and my general health is fine. can truthfully say that if anyone desires to be cured of the Whiskey habit they can find relief at your Sanitorium, and I sim cerely recommend this treatment to every one reading this letter. I will take peas ure in answering letters from any in- terested person who may write me With best wishes for your continued success l am your sincere friend,

 For Grdyce Scott Players
Have Failed To Impress Birmingham With Their Work After Six Weeks of Futile Effort Have Given Up
 Broke-Actors Take Reverse Phlosophically
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

If they didn't we'd sure be in hard luck"
 Outside the dressing room Miss Grayce Scott was chatting pleasantly:
 You take the situation cheerfully," said the reporter.
 There was just the slightest suspicion of a catch in the popular little actress voice as she replied, still smiling:
 We might as well smile when the luck breaks against us."
 As for Miss Fay Vim, a young local girl, whom the Grayce Scott company has used in several minor parts, she an- nounced that while the closing of the Bijou might temporarily check her dra- matic career the electric legends or Broadway would eventually blazon her histrionic greatness-if she lived long enough.
 And Miss Vim. is your career blast ed by this unfortunate closing?" she was asked.
 Bless you, mo-" she cheerfully replied I'm just going to study and wait for another chance. Anyway, I'm so much better off than Miss Scott and MT. New ing and all the others of the company I have a home, right here. Of course, this ruins some of my air castles. as I had planned to become an experienced actress this winter, but just wait I'm still on my way to Broadway
 And though few members of the com pany were opulent With funus ana most of them were heavy-hearted at the sense of having failed In Birmingham, still some danced, others attempted to sing While the stage hands were placing the scenes together, and Leopold Lane, who plays "heavies." was indifferent enough to be reading a magazine in quiet corner. The bitterness of abruptly closing their stay had already been mastered by their happiness at the thought that railroad transportation to Richmond had been provided for.
 No plans for the future opening of the Bijou are yet contemplated and 1t Is very likely that 1t will remain closed for several weeks.

RANK CASEY WITH HORATlUS
Comment of Those Whose Opinion In
Worth Needing Concerning the
Two Famous Ballads.

Casey at the Bat in his own hum
bier sphere deserves to be mentioned
as G. distant relative of Horatius at
the Bridge" said the late Harry Thurs
ton Peck, as quoted by the Little
Classics Press, which republishes the
baseball ballad
Literary people are reluctant to see
merit in contemporary ballads of Tow
life" so-called- Casey is really better
stuff than it's prototype Horatius.
Horatius did impossible things He
licked a whole army single-handed,
then jumped into the river and swan
across in a 200-pound suit of lead pipe,
cast iron and chain mail.
There is no element of surprise in
the poem, either because everybody
expects him to float safely across the
river with a ton of steel tied around
his neck And with his harness on
his back plunged headlong in the
tide
But Casey is human. He works no
miracles He goes to bat in high favor
and springs the surprise by tanning.
He put his plSnch in the last line. He
missed the ball but batted out a liter
