 Personally. 1 am putting my very best efforts into the work, feeling that the pastor, Dr. Rober. N. Simpson. and the congregation of the Christian Church are cooperating so cordially In making music feature of the services at this church, and it is my aim and intention to make this my star achievement of all that 1 have ever done in cantata and /oratorlo work Social fellowship, as well as traln- ing in ensemble work, will be promoted at the rehearsals, and altogether we are looking forward to the rehearsals with as much pleasure as the public presen- tation of the musical drama
 The solo parts will be sung by Miss Olive Cheek, Mrs. J. D. Moore, Jr.. MT. Byrd Haley, MT. Roger Irving and MT. R. c. kaufman,' said Professor Gramos, and as these soloists are among the very best in this city, I feel that the pub lie has a real treat in store.

MUSICAL COMEDIETTA AT LYRIC THEATRE

What Love Will Do," musical CO., medietta, with Al Weber and com pany of four, is expected to enliven the
 new Lyric bill which opens at the keith house today leading the way for four other numbers that have been described as acts of unusual merit. Despite the trite caption of the headline numper, the subject is so large that it generally is interesting. So Lyric audiences are promised something highly novel and ln- teresting.
 Jack Lipton is known as "The versa tile Mimic" It is said there is no 1nstru- mental tone he cannot produce so el- fectively that with the eyes closed one would be sure that the actual mstru- ment was being played.
 The American Trio, styled singing girls of unusual merit,' are down TOT an eighteen-mnute round of entertain ment.
 Carson and Willard in Something Different offer all the title of. thelr ac. imples, according to the management and this number is expected to please Yyric crowds immensely. This trio really is a remarkable company of skaters

B[ACK-DRAUGHT AS A PREVENTATIVE When You Begin Feeling Bad With Feverishness, Headache, Cold, or Constipation, Give Your Liver a Tonic-Take
 Black-Draught

Candler, N. CT don't believe there is better medicine made than Black Draught; l have used it and my mothers folks used it for colds, feverishness, headache and deranged liver" This statement recently was made by MT. c. B. Trull, a well known farmer on Route 3, this place.
 q have, before now, begun feeling dull, a headache would come on, and I would feel all full of cold, and take a few doses of Black Draught and get all right" adds Mir Trull.
 "Last year my brother had measles, flu and pneumonia. They wired us I went to Camp Jackson to look him up. Down there different ones were using preventives. l stayed with him. The only thing l used was Eiack-Draught. It kept my system Icleansed and I kept well and strong"
 By keeping your liver and stom- ach in good order, you stand in little danger of catching serious ills that occasionally spread through town and country.
 Get a package of Black-Draught and have it ready for the first symp- tom of a disordered liver.

would go to the prohibition party the platform of which he ardently sup ports.
 But nothing came from Colonel Bryan. He was kind enough in his reception. But he was exceedingly grim. He refused to smile. He de- clined to upbend. It was noticeable that he was afraid that in some un- guarded moment, he would do or say something on which the correspondents could base an assumption.
 Say for me, if you please" repeated the colonel. Mir Bryan declined to discuss national politics.
 The impression prevails that MT. Bryan will not participate in the cam paign. George White, manager of the Cox campaign, and an ardent prohibit tionist, is positive that Bryan will ultimately and heartily support the democratic nominees. Senator Owen of Oklahoma, one of the coloneps closest friends, has permitted newspapers to quote him as having said that Bryan would support the ticket and would carry the fight into every doubtful impression prevails that the heart of Bryan will continue to remain in the grave. There is doubt as to the effect of his refusal to give aid.
 There are some leaders of the party who contend that Bryan would do great good if he would-especially in the west where his prohibition views are popular. There are few who inwardly hold that the party cannot win unless Bryan supports it openly and aggres- sively. There are others who really prefer that Bryan say nothing. There are others still who express the opinion that it doesn't matter what course he pursues.
 And Bryan, himself, refuses to say. He agreed to discuss the alleged merits of prohibition. He was willing to talk of an amendment to the constitution under which the Senate by majority vote could ratify a treaty of peace. He admitted that the government should print partisan newspaper, to be edited half by democrats and half by republicans, and circulated into every home of the United States.
 But of Cox and Harding, the national situation as a whole or in part he grimly refused to talk.

"The Martyr of Antioch

l IN\n ITH the opening of the autumn l W\V musical season, when the va l rious choirs, choruses, concerts
 and orchestras begin their usual activi-
 ties, Prof. Fred L. Grambs, choirmaster and organist of the First Christian Churche. announces one of the most pleasantly anticipated musical events ot | the season.
 Early in November, to be definite, Sun day evening. November T, Professor Grambs will present the beautiful sacred musical drama, The Martyr of Antioch i the words selected and arranged from Milmans poem, and the music by Sir Arthur Sullivan.
 There will be a large chorus and many soloists. including some of the finest voices in this community. while select orchestra of strings and harps will ac- company the organ beautiful ''settins to a beautiful oratorio.
 Professor Grambs, who has given the best part of his life to music in Bir- mingham, growing up with the city, first pioneering and later realizing his amhi- tious dreams as prominent teacher, lead CT, choirmaster and organlst, needs ho introduction to Birmingham people, for his splendid activities in musical circles have been d great factor in Birming- hams musical growth and much credit is given to Professor Grambs for his untirng work and unselfiish devotion to music.
 "On next Monday evening, September G." Professor Grambs said in speaking of the rehearsals and the organization Of the chorus and soloists, "our initial re- hearsal will be held at the First Chrls- tian Church, and will continue every Monday evening at tllis edifce until the oratorio is presented. It gives us two full months for work and rehearsal, and the church will be well lighted, well heated (when the cold weather comes) and every agent toward convenience will be employed thus assuring our partici- pants of solid comfort we'll as pleasure in our work"
 ''The Martyr of Antioch the sacred musical drama we have chosen to pre- sent" said Professor Grambs, will be of great interest to music lovers TOT many reasons, one of the principal ones being that this presentation is the nrs- in America. Many obstacles had to be
