tory, routed the Indians from that
section of Alabama and began what
is today Talladega. Up until about
1890 the Big Spring was the source
of the water supply for the town and
soon after that a sewer system was
laid out which included practically
every house In the town Ten years
later the system began to show signs
of leakage. The water from the
sewer system came in contact with

o. D. Street, republican nominee
for governor. has Endorsed the sea-
port amendment. Endorsement had
already been given by w. w. Bran

Alabama possesses in the port of
Mobile an asset of inestimable value
and one OF the finest natural harbors
in tho world 1t cannot, however,

much hope that the port amendment
which was Endorsed by the republican
state convention will receive the APP

Chiidren's- Tickets
Children who buy their season
tickets for $3.50 are entitled to every
thing above except that they attend
the Junior Music Study club meet
ings every Saturday afternoon in
stead of the grown-up, Thursday
morning meetings.
The women do not feel it should
be necessary for them to put the
matter on pleading basis. You know,
or ought to know, the value of good
music to your city: and it should
be matter of civic pride. it is
thought, that artistic things be kept
alive for the whole good of the com
munity. So the appeal made is made
to your head rather than your heart;
and that an organization that is so
unselfshly working for wondrous
things should be matter OF thank
fulness and pride to every citizen.
The tickets at s5.25 are ridiculously
cheap for the number of really Won
derful artists heard.
Practically every community of
size in the whole country would spare
sity, before 1t would give up it's priv
ilege of hearing cultural things;
programs that inspire the Imagination
and the soul.
It's such a short time there Is to
sell the tickets. Will you not be
one of the first to call or write and
send your check at once?
First Concert Monday Night
The program for the season is TO
open next Monday night at 5 o'clock
at the Jefferson theatre, with Claire
Dux, soprano. and that she Is a real
treat Is vouched for by Mrs. Il. G..
Chandler, who declares that she is
the greatest singer, barring none. she
had ever heard.
Mrs. Chandler knows her PERSONAL
ly and related that last year. after
she had heard the singer for the first
time. she had got on the train and
followed her to various other towns
to hear her remarkable voice"
This year / expect to go to Chica
go Just for this same wonderful priv
ilege, this great singer, you know,
being with the Chicago Opera Gem
pany. Her art makes wonderful APP
peal not only to the intellect. but to
the emotions, and everywhere she
goes she is always signed up for
other appearances. The shadings of
her tones are marvelously worked
out, and not only is she an actress,
but a musician who in her early
womanhood toured Europe as a plan
ist. She has sung leading roles in
practically all of the great theatres
abroad. She Is glorious In "Mantn,"
Madam Butterfly" ana such other
great operas, taking the leading
roles. I consider her even greater
than Galli-Curci. really have never
heard an artist as satisfactory"
OF course, Harold Bauer, famous
pianist, needs no Introduction, but
the Music Study club is bringing
three other splendid performers here
who are new to the Birmingham
public-Louis Graveure, baritone;
Alberto Salvi harpist, and Francis
Macmillan, violinist.
