DRAMATIC CRITIC. GIVES R|CHARDS' OFFERING PRAISE

Percy Hammond, dramatic critic of the New York Tribune after having witnessed Richards The Wizards" performance, stated that he con- sidered it one of the greatest exhibi- tions Of the black" art which New York theatre patrons had ever been privileged to see.
 Richards is to appear at the Jeff ferson theatre next week with his own show exactly as it appeared dur- Ing his New York engagement and later in his tour of the principal American cities. tf which his Bir- mingham visit is part.
 Among his close admirers and friends he claims Sir A. Conan Doyle, who while visiting this country re- gently saw the exhibition at Atlantic City. After the performance Doyle went back stage and greeted Rich ards. Later he had this to say of the attraction: Tt is true that many demonstrations along occult lines lave been presented for my benefit during my visit to the United States, but never have l been so taken up and really mystified as by this mans remarkable manner in presenting his performance of thought transference and spirtualism."

HISS HARDING WHO REF USES II MEET.
 WOMEN CALLERS.
Molly Pitcher Club of New York Social Set Angry Because "Dry" Appeal
 ForestaIIed

NEW YORK Jan, 3.-Members of the Molly Pitcher club, some of them prominent society and club women, indulged in a period of hissing today when it was announced at club luncheon that President Harding had declined to meet delegation named to lay before him the clubs argu- ments for repeal of the prohibition amendment.
 The storm burst when Ransom IL Gilletf, counsel for the New York division of the association opposed to the prohibition amendment read excerpts from a letter from the Presi- dent giving as grounds for his re- fusal to meet the women his belief ttat II is a futile thing to expect the repeal of the amendment" and that such an interview could only result in controversial publicity and create a suspicion that the fed eral government is not in good faith endeavoring to enforce the prohibit tion laws.s
 The club made public a part of the Presidents letter and gave out a newly adopted resolution, arguing against the validity of his objections to the interview and renewing the request that the delegation be re neived. The resolution also remind ed the President that he recently had received a church delegation Ito discuss prohibition"
 Mir. Gillett. speaking of the Presi- dents refusal to see the delegation, declared that when the Chief Exec utive of this republic cannot receive ally delegation to discuss any topic as provided for under the constitu- tion. then the republic is in danger"

 OVER 30 YEARS Saved Me Many a Sick Spell," Says Texas Farmer, Who Has Long Known Usefulness of Black
 Draught

Naples, Texas.-"I have used Thedford's Black-Draught for years --I can safely say for more than 30 years," declares MT. H. H. Cromer, a substantial, well-known farmer, residing out on Route from here.
 'I am 43 years old, and when a small boy had indigestion and was puny and my folks gave me a liver regulator. Then Black-Draught was advertised and we heard of it.
 T began to take ,Black-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever since. I use Black-Draught now in my home, and certainly recommend it for any liver trouble.
 T have given it a thorough trial, and after thirty years can say Black-D4 aught is my standby. It has saved me many sick spells"
 Mir. Cromer writes that he is "never out of Black-Draught," and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any other liver medicine. T always recommend Black-Draught to my friends" he adds.
 This valuable, old, powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs and has none of the bad effects so often observed from the use of calomel or other powerful mineral drugs.
 Black Draught helps to keep the liver in trim, helping prevent or re- lieye such troubles as constipation, biliousness, indigestion, sick head ache.
 Be sure to get the genuine.-Adv.

 FUNDS FOR TICK FIGHT ARE BELIEVED ASSURED

Appropriations to continue work of tick eradication in Jefferson county are practically assured in the opinion of certain members of the board of revenue. w W. Cameron, federal off, fieer in charge of eradication work in Jefferson county, feels confident that the appropriation of s24,0o0 asked for will be made.
 More than 60 per cent of the eradi- cation work in Jefferson county has been completed, Mir. Cameron said He stated that it would be fatal to cease this work now.
 To do so would cause the county to be placed under quarantine, which would stop the movement of cattle in and out of Birming gham. The Bir- ,aingha stock yards handle ship ments of cattle for the whole north ern end of the state, and a quarantine would necessitate shipping of the cat tie by some other route.
