The People Must Decide.

"If the people, says the Huntsville Mer- cury really want better schools they should send good men to the legislature. A good legislature must provide the money before it can be expended
 This is true and wise advice. The peo- pie must take the bits if the schools of Alabama are to be brought up to the stand ard of either Georgia or Mississippi. Don't listen to those in office Don't let the court house cliques dictate the nominations for senators and representatives. Above all don't consider the advice of county su. perinsendents or teachers as at all con elusive.
 Judge Spencer B. Atkinson, now the fore most candidate for governor in Georgia, says in his recent declaration to the peo- pie: "I favor the improvement of the school system so as to afford to persons residing in the rural districts school facil- ities in all respects equal to those now enjoyed by the inhabitants of towns and other thickly-populated communities Our rural population should be afforded such advantages as will enabir f, 2, .~,., ' on their farms and cdac,,; ,A.i; .--.-... .i

at home. No circumstance has contributed more to the depopuatlon of the county districts than the lack of proper school fa- cilities. This Is not healthy condition, and the solution of the problem rests alone with the state"
 It is the common school the rural school. in Alabama. as in Georgia, that needs help Judge Atkinsons statement of the issue fits the one state as well as it does the other. The towns in each state are not dealing fairly with the rural districts. Let every man who desires to represent the people in the legislature be brought up to the Atkinson standard. Demand cat egorical answer, and beware of bubbles. The matter is to be settled in these days of primaries and conventions. Know your representatives, and what their real views as to popular education are. The respon- sibility is upon you. the people, and you cannot shift it. If you want better schools in the rural districts, see to 1t that your desires are properly represented. Upon such action on your part all reform in this direction depends.

Advertisinq.

Extravagant advertising is waste, but judicious advertising is both an art and a source of profits. Customers are not easily deceived They know that if a dealer has a good article he will consistently tell the people he has it, whereas man who has poor article is never persistent in adver- Using it. It is the man that keeps ham, mering away that makes an impression, and reaches results. Spasmodic advertis- ing does not impress people that you have a good thing and know it. space in paper filled day after day is, in the experience of successful advertisers and business men, the best of all known means for reaching prospective buyers.
 No business in this land was ever built up by programmes, city directories, maps and the like. Such things may be an aid, but they never are the foundation of a business. They do not really reach many people, and those that do read them gen. orally treat them contemptiously. Says a recent successful bicycle advertisers "One inch in good local paper, displayed in the same place each issue, will do more to keep yourself and your bicycle before the public than many advertisements of the hand bill nature.'

In Case of War.

The regular force will soon be concen- trated on the seaboard; and yet it is ab- surd to say that even absurd Spain would be foolhardy enough to send troops to these shores. This country has just as much design upon Spain itself as Spain can req sonably have upon this country Beyond short raid in port from Spanish cruiser there can be no invasion here by Spain And Spain has no allies, and will have none. The regular army is ample for all defensive purposes.
 But when war comes, soon it may troops will be needed for offensive purposes in Cuba. Beyond all doubt 100000 men viii be needed, one-half of whom will be 0nder his knowledge of the land, to make short work of the job of clearing out the 5000 electives that Spain has there All told Spain is supposed to have 200 ,OO0 men in Cuba, but fever and the various incl dents of war have left about 1000 that can take the field. By utilizing the knowl- edge and skill of the insurgent command CTS. this country will not need to send more than 100000 men from Key West, which is within six or seven hours sail of Havana A reserve force along the gulf of 100 .ocO more would also be ample.
 The secretary of war recently laid before congress tables showing the military strength of the different states and the number of men capable of bearing arms in each state. Alabama's military strength is stated to be 252 officers and 223e men, and her available strength is put at 1e5ooo men. The total organized force of the cnantry. outside the regular army. con i...cs of these armed men stands a possi-

The Montgomery in Havana.

It is to be hoped that the Montgomery will soon be in Havana harbor, for she is needed there. It should be remembered that Havana is city as large as New Orleans, dominated by people Spanish born, not by native Cubans. It is the Spanish stronghold. Elsewhere on the island 800 miles long, the Spaniard Is comparatively weak, and the Cuban strong
 Tn this Spanish nest is Gen. Lee, at least There, too, are very considerable American interests. and if the Montgomery were out in the harbor with several guns on board and men who know how to use them, the life of the consul general would be none the less safe, or the interests he so zealously and vigilantly watches none the less secure. A Spanish mob knows a gun when it sees it even off shore. The unprotected in Havana would appreciate the speedy replacement of the Maine, if no one else would
 Then, too, this government possesses ex- tra territorial rights in Havana harbor. The Maine and the spot where she lies is temporarily to this country as equal space on land would be. The government has asserted it's right to conduct an investiga- tion in it's own way, and no interference on the part of the Spanish government will be permitted. Then too, the Maine is to be raised. The American wrecking companies that are to do the work will soon be on the spot.
 The rights of this government oyer the decks of the battleship Maine will not perhaps be questioned, no matter where she is, or how she les-whether she stands up straight, or lies on her side in the water. Her position does not change the country's rights, 50 far as international law is concerned; but it is best to have some guns near by to see that international law is correctly interpreted, especially pending an inquiry that the country de- mands, and that the government is under obligation to the people to rigidly and ex- haustively conduct.
