Impressiveness of High Sounding Name

@AnPAoeHAFShono u hAkh oouuulnR Names,
We are always prone to accept the IN.
known as the magnihcent-if 1 may trans.
late the Latin phrase-to put a higher
value on the things veiled from us b. the
folds OF foreign language. The Bosporus
is a more poetic place than Oxford, though
the meaning of both names is tho same.
Montenegro fills our ears and raises our
expectations higher than could any mere
Black mountain. 1.-THE Big River is but
a vulgar nickname, and yet we accept the
equivalent Guadalquivir and Rio Grande.
We even allow ourselves sometimes tc
speak of the Rio Grande river which is as
Pathological as Do Quincy declared the
name of Mrs. Barbauld 70 be Bridgeport
is as prOsaic as may be, while Alcautara

tho latter word signifies only the bridge 4"

pELAWARE's LITTLE NAPoLEol

DELAWARES LITTLE NAPOLEON
William C. Spruance, Edward
Bradford, Martin b. Burris and Elias
n. Moore having been ratified by the
Addicks county convention, called ID
nominate delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention, it is time for the
Union Republican party to adopt as its
motto that good old sentiment, ITO
forgive is godly; to forget, divine.
But what have William S. Hilles and
his fellow-nominees on the regular Re
publican ticket done that they could
not be included in that Addicks con
cession? In what respect were they
found wanting when weighed in the
Addicks scales? 1t could not have
been in gray matter for. in making the
nominations they did, the Addicks peo
pie got no more of it than they would
had their concession included the
whole regular Republican ticket.
We believe that the Addicksites rec.
ognize their own weakness in New
Castle county. and are endeavoring tc
, SECURE regular Republican votes by
posing before the people as want-to-
win politicians. Their sacrifice can
not possibly avail them. The people
OF Delaware know that Mr.. Addicks
is a want-to-win man if he can win in

MAKE THE MOST or YOURSELF

II is the duty of every man to make
the most of himself. Whatever his ca
pacities may be, he is sure to find some
place where he can be useful to him
self and to others But he cannot
reach his highest usefulness without
good health and he cannot have
good health without pure blood
The blood circulates to every
organ and tissue and when it is
pure, rich and healthy it carries health
TO the entire system, but if it is i'm
pure it scatters disease wherever it
flows. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one
true blood purifier. 1t cures salt
rheum, scrofula. catarrh. dyspepsia
and rheumatism because these. diseases
have their origin In The blood.

VOTERS MUST REGISTER.
Beginning Monday, May 4, Registration Books to Open-WiIl Remain Open Eighteen Days
 Except in Cities of 10000 Inhabitants.
Following is the law governing regis tration of voters in Alabama:
 Registration.

Following is the law governing regis tration of voters in Alabama:
 Registration.
 Section 8. That it shall be the duty or such registrars within the several pre- cincts or wards for which they are ap- pointed respectively, in each year Tn which any general state or federal elec- ton is to be held, to make registration of the electors residing in such precincts or wards.
 Sec. 4. That the registrars in each pre- cinct or ward shall begin registration on the first Monday in May and shall con tinue the same for eighteen successive days, Sundays excepted, except Tn cltleS of 10000 or more inhabitants, where thir- ty days time for registration shall be given.
 Section was amended by the last gen. eral assembly as follows:
 Sec. D. That 1t shall not be lawful to register any elector in any precinct or ward in this state after the time herein prescribed for such registration, but the registrars shall be present at the polling places In the precincts or wards for which they are respectively appointed on the day of any general or special elec- ton to register such persons as may have reached the age of 21 years since the last registration; such other persons as may make oath that they were unable by req son of absence from the county or by reason of sickness, which confined them to their homes, to register during the time appointed by law for the general registration; such other persons as may make oath that they became bona fde residents in the precinct in which they propose to register not less than thirty days before the day of election and since the last registration, but electors having the constitutional qualification who may have resided in any incorporated city in this state having population or more than 5000 inhabitants. as determined by the last federal census, for thirty days immediately preceding the election, and have within such thirty days removed their residence from any one precinct to another in the same city. shall, after a residence therein of one day be entitled to vote in the precinct in which they re- side at the time of the election, but each of said electors herein last provided for must first deposit with the inspectors of election in said precinct the certificate of the judge of probate that said elector is duly registered in the precinct from which he has removed and no other per- son than those provided for in this sec tion shall be permitted to register on the day of any election.

there is law, there is criticism, there is reason for what is done The kinder garten the primary, the secondary and the higher educators all can find guiding principles. Every earnest teacher who refuses this, would refuse an answer to his prayers.
 Another red-letter day is the day that Col. Francis w. Parker speaks. A few, only a few prominent educators still re- fuse the palm of victory to this pioneer in education; but the world has recog- nized him as its own. He who continues to deny to pr. Parker high seat among the creative thinkers of the age, shows how small some understandings are When Rein of Germany, Compayre of France and Hughes of Canada agree in naming Dr. Parker for the leader of the education advance guard, then it is time for United States unknowns to play shut mouth. pr. Parker is coming, and with him that most estimable woman and skilled kindergartner, Mrs Parker Let all Alabama turn out to honor them.
 
 A topic of supreme moment is the ru- ral school problem. Are the parents, cit iZens, law makers of Alabama quite sure that the best is being done for the en- lightenment of the rural people? What wonder that the country arrays itself against the town, when the country sees the town grow more and more pros porous, have better homes. better churches. and. above all, better schools The town scofis at the ignorance of the country, but the hand that points the finger of scorn is unwilling to contribute a penny to the extension of public edu- cation. Mans inhumanity to man Is the sin of civilization Am I my brothers keeper?" is the whine of murderous self interest wh en the voice of God demands What of thy brothers mental death?''

PREPARE NOW
 and order your cedar chest or cedar couch for storing your winter clothing. Jacobs.
Alabama Educational Association.

The Educational Exchange has the fol- lowing advice to Alabama teachers in it's last issue:
 Teachers, attend your state association. It needs you and you will need it. Get to Talladega before the sessions open and remain until they are all over
 Possibly there has never been in the history of the Alabama Educa tional as- soclation a days work promising so much as that devoted to the report of the com inittee of fifteen. Those appearing on the programme for this topic are experts in the lines they propose to discuss. No teacher in Alabama can afford to be ab- sent when such parties shall discuss the most vital educational doctrine that the nineteenth century has formulated There is inspiration, there is caution.

Captain Oanlel Coleman.

This distinguished gentleman and gall lant soldier arrived in the city on the train from Decatur yesterday afternoon. He had been selected by Camp Hardee to deliver the memorial address today, and had come for that purpose On leaving the train a telegram was handed him, which announced that after his departure from Huntsville his brother was serious ly--perhaps fatally--wounded. He of course determined to go by the first train to his brother. and left on the 12 o'clock train last night.
