We were greeted pleasant- lv by the proprietor and were surprised to find so young a man at the head Of such A large business. But we need not have been when we reflected that the secret of his phenomenal success lies largely in the fact that he Is big advertiser MT Ware told us that he set aside every year s1 Oo0 to be spent in advertisine This makes the heads of some of our timid merchants swir1 to think about He finds that it is good business policy to invest one-tenth of his whole capital in making the other nine-tenths profitable by adver- tising Later on he will take space in this paper and our readers will learn nDore of this prince among merchants.

MIR. LONDON WRITES
 OF CITY FINANCES
Advises Prudence in Manage
 ment of Municipal Affairs.
AN UNAUTHORIZED LETTER
He Says There Are Some Matters in Connection With City Affairs That the Public Should
 Know
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of Sunday last Ned Brace, in his own pithy manner, after congratu lating the community upon the capture of the murderers of the two policemen, has this to say;
 - T hope to see the board of aldermen at the very next meeting cut down expenses in other directions and at least double the present police force. The idea of thirty eight policemen being able to maintain or der and enforce the laws in a city of 6O,OOo people Is an absurdity. Birmingham should have at least one hundred policemen; but if that is impossible in view of the finan- cial situation, then the present force should be doubled at least. Nothing adds so much to the growth and prosperity of a city as the knowledge on the part of it's citizens, and those who would be citizens, that every precaution is taken to prevent crime and enforce all laws made for the convenience, protection and welfare of the citizens"
 There can be no question about the prop osition laid down by Ned Brace, and this overpowering necessity which rests upon the community certainly calls for the wis

the future than in the past. Yours truly, (Sgned) GEORGE EUSTIS,


 City Treasurer date, and learned of the letter and it's serious injury to the credit of the city. Upon my return here l was informed that this letter had been repudiated by MT. Eustiss and was called to the attention of H. B. Gray. then the chairman of the finance committee of the board of alder men, but as yet I have heard of no official action thereon. Fearing that injustice had been done MT Eustis, I addressed an n- quiry to him the subject and in reply he informed me that he had never signed any of these letters or authorized it to be done.
 In view of the terrible damage done to the credit of the city by these letters. and with the purpose of aiding Mayor Dren- nen and the city authorities in their laud- able efforts at the adjustment and refund ing of the city debt, it seems to me that the Commercial club should take some action by the appointment of a commit tee which shall take up the subject of the city debt. and at this propitious time in conjunction with a committee to be chosen from the board of aldermen, devise and report scheme and plan for the read justment and funding of the entire city debt on a basis and at a rate of interest which will secure much needed relief to the city, and at the same time restore our credit to the highest plane. and enable us to have, without increased taxation, the further police protection to which Ned Brace calls attention.

Are the Examinations Too Rigorous? [?

From the Carrollton Alliance-News.
 It appears to us from the small per cent. of successful applicants for teachers li- cense that the examinations are too rigor- ous. From present indications many coun- ties over the state will not have teachers enough to supply the schools To avoid this trouble it seems to us that the state board should not require of new applicants the standard per cent. of proficiency, but on subsea uent examinations for new license should then require applicants to make the standard per cent.
