Different Forms Of Pavement.

There is no one variety Of pavement
suited to all degrees and forms Of traf"
ic, says the Municipal World.
"Granite block pavemsnt is the most
durable which can be constructed, re.
auires but little repair and is well
adapted to steep grades, but is rough,
noisy and trying on the hoofs OF
horses. Asphalt is very smooth and
agreeable pavement on which to drive,
is handsome, sanitary and may be
kept cry clean, but is less durable
than granite, and cannot be used on
steep grades. Vitrifed brick is fairly
well adapted to steep grades, ranking
next,to granite in the foothold afford
ed horses, is smooth and less noisy
than granite, is very agreeable for
driving Or wheeling, may be kept very
clean, but is less durable than either
granite or asphalt. Crushed stone
(macadam) is the most agreeable for

Ready and Willing.

Tn the event there should be hostilities between this country and Spain the na- tional government will find no class of men more willing nor more eager to come to it's defense than those of the south. The peo- pie of this section know more of war and any other portion of the broad republic. For four years the entire south was as an open field of battle It was the theater of action by the contending forces. The ships of war, extending from the charge of battle to tho hearthstones, and no peo- pie in the history of the world ever fought harder nor with more manliness than did those brave sons who bled and died that their canse might live.
 Although thirty-seven years have passed since the firing of that thunderous shot at Sumpter. its memories are none the less vivid in the recollections of those who ''Ifved to tell the tale." With lands and cities laid waste and devastated. a new empire built upon their ruins, the south can be depended upon to furnish her share of brave men to fight for that effulgent banner of American freedom the symbol of reunited country, and aid in maintain ing its grandeur against the encroachments of any foreign foe
 The south needs no test of it's loyalty to the government. It's fathers were the worsmen upon the structure when rebel lion sat in against a tyrant king. With the same devotion to country against a for efgn power will the present generation that glorious heritage given it by it's founders.

HER GREATEST ATTRACTION.

Perbaps it is most generally thought that a good complexion is the best aid to beau-
 ty, but in reality women do not owe haf
 the gratitude to this desirable adjunct as
 they do the mirror itself. Up to certain
 period the court beauties are depicted as
 wearing very brave attire in many cases
 but without exception they came far short
 of our modern standard of loveliness, for
 they were stiff and angular to a degree;
 their necks were encased in stin runs
 and collars and their bodies made as
 hard and misunderstanding as possible inside their hideous bodices, which seemed constructed with view to obliterating all
 the pretty curves of a woman's figure
 Suddenly in the portraits there is great
 change Hideous stiffness is no more seen, angles are conspicuous by their ab- sence, and court beauties are not so mere 1y in name, but in truth. What is the secret of this change? The very important
 discovery of the mirror.
 Diana of Poitiers and other beauties of
 her time had to content themselves with
 tiny mirrors, measuring three inches square or less. Small wonder Is it then that their portraits were stiff and ugly, for they never could see their own figures and therefore had no idea of the charms of flowing draperies, or of pretty, grace full attitudes, which women of a later pe- riod learned so pleasantly and gladly from their looking-glasses. In 1907 the making of glass mirrors on a commercial scale be- gan in Venice and in 1564 the mirror-mak- CTS of that city formed a corporation and the glass houses of Murano practically gave a death blow to the metal mirror in dustry.
 Early in the seventeenth century glass mirrors were made by Italian workmen employed in England by Sir Robert Man | sel and soon afterwards the Duke of Buckingham established glass works at Lambeth, where flint glass was converted into mirrors. Queen Henrietta Maria in- troduced mirrors into both the English and the French court and at once the stand ard of beauty was raised, for women were quick to see how their appearance might be improved and to correct the errors into which they had fallen in the old days when they had never a chance of seeing the re- ffection of their own fair persons. What lovers of the beautiful in art owe to the mirror they can only realize when they re-
 fleet on the beauty of the portraits of modern artists in comparison with the ugliness of those of the old masters These old artists did their work grandIy and faithfully, but women of those days Knew nothing of what the mirror has taught their descendants and portrait painters could but represent people as they saw them, or at most slightly idealize them.

Herald intends to spur the conscienees of the people of Alabama ''up to the point of being willing to give their own bright eyed boys and girls opportunities equal to those of the boys and girls in Georgia or in Mississippi-up to the point Of being willing to be taxed for that purpose. It proposes to dispense in this way great chunks of dis content. no matter how displeasing or un- complimentary they may be. And 1t has the satisfaction of knowing that the Adver- tiser Is the only paper that Is willing to become the champion of the present edu- cational system of the state.

It is but fair to President Mckinley to
 give him credit for having exercised dis
 cretion of an admirable kind pending the

 nearly all, if not quite all. of the past ad- ministrations 1t is but natural that the 1 people-the true patriots-have grown res- l tive under repeated insults heaped upon the United States, and they can not be 1 blamed for believing that MT. McKinley's l administration, like others which have gone before, will exert leniency toward l Spain, and for the purpose of avoiding
 war will concede that the disaster was an
 accident
 If this be the policy of MT. Mckinley he
 will find himself greatly mistaken when he takes Into consideration the present temper of the people, The masses are seldom
 wrong. They are in no frame of mind to be trified with. They are patriotic and
 are willing to demonstrate their love of
 country in defense of 1t, if necessary. The people demand a full knowledge of all that is transpiring at Havana An at tempt to conceal the truth and send out
 doctored reports from department head quarters will do more than all else to
 hasten possible uprising of the people. If the investigation shall show that 1t was an accident that is all the people demand. With that information truthfully given them they will be satisfied.
 | If, on the other hand, it should be shown | that it was the result of hostile hands, I then indemnity will be demanded, and in | the event that be refused, which is more
 than probable, then the patriotic spirit of | the American people will with increased force demand war, and war 1t must be, with all it's narrowing details and sorrow- | full results.
 The people are in earnest, and the powers | at Washington well know 1t. Should there
 be the least semblance of trucking to the money power, which welcomes insult and detests manhood, then there may be trouble. Spanish bondholders and
 stock jobbers are entitled to no respect when the honor of a nation and the in- tegrity of it's people are at stake. If the l lives of two hundred and fifty three Ameri-
 can sailors are not worthy of cause of
 contest at arms for national right and honor, then the American government and
 its free institutions may as well go to hell | in hand basket.

The Next General Assembly Should Act

The next general assembly should give se-
 rious attention to the educational problem.
 The figures published by The Age-Herald
 with regard to the present educationaIb status of Alabama stand unquestioned and uncontradicted The contrast of the states condition with that of neighboring states Is sufficiently alarming to justify radical measures of relief at the hands of the legislators. The bare statement of the facts is in itself a severe commentary on the attitude of the legislators of Ala bama towards this vital question during the past decade, and a most scathing ar rnignment of home statesmanship. The state press Is now beginning to realize the fact that radical change Is needed and that nothing short of complete revolu- <ion in our educational system will lift Alabama to the plane of progress now oc- cupied by her sister states. More school revenues must be provided: state supervi- sion must mean progressive educational 'e--~---- snd Incompetent coun-

 Further on 1t says, "It takes money and large amounts of it to keep the schools go- ing" So 1t does. and Alabama does not furnish the ncedful money, and her schools are not kept going to any considerable ex- tent.

 The Advertiser says that the papers
 which are showing up lamentable lack of educational facilities should cease try ing to make the people displeased and bring them up to the point of being willing to be taxed in order to obtain better schools" Nonsense. Discomfort is the
