The New York Winter Gardens most stupendous production, "The Passing show" will be the attraction at the Jefferson beginning Monday night, January 3, with performances Tuesday afternoon and night.
 For bigness and variety of entertain ment the Winter Gardens annual re- view has come to hold a place all it's own, The Passing Shows" which preceded the present one were so vast and novel in their scenic equipment, and so bewlderingly dlverting that it might well have been thought that this wonderful style of entertainment had reached the limit of bigness: however, this Passing Show" is, according to all accounts. superior and even more vast than it's predecessors
 It seems almost incredible that so many scenes as are incorporated in tho, present show could ever be dove -tailed together so that the action would he lively and continuous. In the frss act there are six ssclnes, and in the second nine.

Comments Oscar Adams

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The Birmingham Reporter is a col cred journal edited by oscar W. Ad- ans, a colored man. Papers by negroes are seldom read by the writes, but this Is a journal worthy of attention. [ know of many negro papers published, both north and south, and do not hesi- tate to pronounce the Birmingham Re- porter superior to them all.
 It's editor, oscar w. Adams, is a young man and a most worthy repre- = sentative Of his race. The Christmas edition of his paper is an enterprise of great merit Adams is sensible, level headed, bright, intelligent and shares in the wisdom of Booker T. washington, of whom he is an apt dis ciple. His editorials are pitched on a high plane of thought and sentiment. and in his address to his people it is with vigor of common sense that makes for the public good. While not racially ciannish he never loses sight of the welfare of the people whom he represents His appeals to his race to aspire to high ideals as the only means of gaining respect and position are worthy of any. Yet he is never obse- quious, or. to use street slang, a boot ! licker;" neither to one race nor the other, but is pronounced, dignfied and manly in the expression of his views. In his appeals in behalf of his race ae asks for nothing which any un- btased man would withhold
 his good work, Adams is worthy of Ancoura cement. A journal of this gpe deserves more than passing no- tirs It is unsparing in the denuncia : tni. of negro vice and crime, and in thc relations of the races concilia - fian is sought on grounds that would tiee the approval of every honest citi- zen. While he protests against i'm pcafkion on his people, he does so in L tone of respect and courtesy, and never auth a spirit of hostility. He has a wide reading circle throughout this and other states and what he does through the medium of his paper is conducive to the general good of the public. I know of no agency that is more aidful than the Birmingham Reporter.

The petition contends that there is no legal author ity for the paying of such bills and that to pay them will be diverting public money.
 In the answer filed by the board of revenue it is claimed that the board derives it's authority to pay the bills as necessary incident to the power conferred upon the board by the law authorizing the board to provide for transportation for the sheriff and his deputies while in the performance of their duties and also for the other off cers named. It is contended by the board that in carrying out this pro- vision of law it necessarily follows that
