Savings Banks for Children.

In Knoxville, a suburb of Pittsburg, school savings bank was opened this week, and forty per cent. of the 45O school child ren came with sums ranging from one cent up to $6.75. In of the rooms thirty-five out of the fifty pupils in attendance became depositors. The total amount received on the opening day of the banks operation was $65.0S. In the county there are 30, ,O0O school children and 1t Is estimated that if half of them can be induced to save their pennies the deposits would in one year amount to s2OOOOO
 The object of these banks is to encourage the children to save their pennies-not to attract large deposits. In the eastern cities a childs deposit of a years standing averages about s5. Such an average shows that the system does promote thrift and economy and that the lesson thus taught the children will prove very valuable to them in after years.
 Deposits are received on Monday morn- ings only. Each depositor is given credit card, and when the deposits reach the sum of two dollars bank book is furnished at the expense of the bank. W5ep-thAe-aInount of the deposit is S, -inHterest at the rate O per eer..S:-11er annum is paid. The remain

schools of the masses have always. as In this case, been made mere cloak to keep warm and comfortable the big end of Ala bama's inverted cone.
 The Age Herald is not opposed to the normal and agricultural schools, but pro- rights of the people. It protests against the further enrichment of these higher in- stitutions until the schools Of the people are redeemed. Those who are enrolled in this unholy combination against the inter- ests of the children of Alabama should have the mask of philanthropy torn from their faces, and their selfish greed should be exposed to the people. whose children. and whose childrenss children for genera tions are to suffer the consequences. Rather than permit such selfish schemes to prosper. let the state abolish all class schools and bend its efforts to the devel- opment of the peoples schoois-the com- mon schools.
 The people and press of Alabama are invited to join The Age-Herald in a viz orous protest against the further diver sion of the public lands in the state for higher education. Let the whole of the 6O0,O0O acres, not one-fourth of it. be appfo- priated for the exclusive benefit of the common schools. Thus only will it inure to the benefit of the whole people and prove blessing to future generations of Alabama's children. Let the people rise in their might and defeat such conspiracles agairsst the common schools of the state.

Confederate Veterans.

The February number of Munseys Magazine contains an interesting illustrat- ed article concerning the living confeder- ate commanders. written by Mary Lyons Mayo and Louise Allan Mayo. The DOT traits show that handsome, hale lot of veterans are still in this world, although thirty-three years have elapsed since the war ended Of lieutenant generals there are living. in the order of their rank Gen. James Longstreet, Gen. Wade Hamp- ton, Gen. Stephen D. Lee, Gen. Alexander P. Stewart, Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, and Gen. John B. Gordon. Every one of these men has had an active and honorable career since the war. Gen. Longstreet has recently married a young wife, and is now in charge of the railroads of the United States; Gen. Wade Hampton has been governor of his state and United States senator; Gen. Stephen D. Lee is president of the Agricultural and Mechanical col lege of Mississippi; Gen. Alexander P. Stewart is chancellor of the University of Mississippi; Gen. Joseph Wheeler is and long has been, in congress- Gen. Buckner has been governor of Kentucky, and in 1896 he ran on the gold-democratic ticket for vice-president, and Gen. John B. Gordon has been almost continuously in public life, either as governor or United States senator
 Besides the living lieutenant generals, there are many other confederate officers who are still serving their country faith fully and acceptably. In the senate Ala bama sends Gen. John T. Morgan and Gen. Edmund W. Pettus; Louisiana is rep resented by Col. Donelson Caffery, and Lieut.. Samuel D. McEnery; Tennessee by Gen. William B. Bate and Private Thomas B.

to themselves. that they expect to send a solid delegation to the chancery convention for Chancellor Cobbs. Why did not the candidate outside of Jefferson county de- mand a primary and prorate instead of a convention in Walker. Winston and Fay cite counties for the sake of flair play?" Why2 If a primary and prorate in Jeffer- son in the interest of flair play" why not also primary and prorate in the other counties of the division?
 The conclusion Is inevitable that the pur- pose of the petitioners is to take away from Jefferson county its right to present it's strongest candidate for the chancellor ship, supported by a solid delegation, to the chancery convention for its indorse- ment.
 If this scheme, in behalf of flair play" exclusively in the interest of the candidates who are displeased with the action of the executive committee, should prevail, 1t is not at all improbable that combinations would be made against the strongest, and. therefore the most acceptable candidate. with the result that the weakest and least acceptable candidate would receive the nomination.
 The executive committee will scarcely stultify itself by resembling, for the special benefit of any particular candidate, its &C., tion almost unanimously taken at it's last meeting. HONEST OPINION.

No Prorate for Chancellor.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor or The Age-HeralQ:
 The efforts being made by the three can- didates for nomination for chancellor, who signed a petition to the executive com mittee to rescind its action of the 18th ult., ordering a convention for the selection of delegates to the state and chancery conven- tions, and order a primary and prorate of the vote in Jefferson county, discloses a weakness and despair that was not ex- pected from trained politicians and office seekers The scheme, while ostensibly in the interest of flair play" was an attempt to put upon the defensive that candidate who, content with the action of his partys highest authority, declined to sign the pe- tition, and alt the same time an assault upon the executive committee for its ac- tion.
 It is well known that since the last meet ing of the executive committee the par tisans of Chancellor Cobbs have been maK- ing an active campaign for recisslon of the action of the committee so far as 1t related to the method of nominating a can- didate for the chancellorship.
 Of course, they expect their friend to be the beneficiary, if the executive commit tee reverses its action; otherwise, they would not seek to force the committee to make the change It may, therefore, be assumed that the clamor for flair play'' and a prorate was an afterthought, con- ceived in the interest of a candidate who realizes that he is defeated unless the cus- tom of thirty years is overturned. And, be it remembered, that although this same candidate has thrice been nominated by the method now proposed to be abrogated, this Is the first time he or his friends have raised a hue and cry about its unfairness. Why did not this same candidate or his friends in Tuscaloosa demand a primary and prorate instead of a convention in that county? For the reason, very satisfactory
