Common Errors of the Careful
 Speaker.

IL is the educated person, frequently the college graduate. who is very par ticular to say T feel badly" The un- educated person would never be guilty of the offense: if he had never seen a grammar he would say I feel bad" and he would be correct" The same person who feels badly would never think of feeling sadly or gladly; he would feed bad or glad as the case might be, so to be consistent he ought to feed bad. But. strictly speaking T feel bad" in the sense of not feeling well or of feeling unhappy Is not the best English one could use. It occupies a dubious position. T am not feeling well'' if one Is not in good physical condition is a better expression. T am feeling sad or unhappy" If ones feelings other than physical are affect ed. You look nicely" is another error made by the person who aims to use correct English. If you look nicely you will have to look sadly or gladly or happy.
 A word to the wise is sufficient. Let us in the future. If we have to feel bad or look bad. feel and look 1t without adding the Fly" to it's sins for, strictly speaking, when one looks or feels bad ones morals need attention even more than ones grammar"

MIR. IRSAEL ROBERTS
Passed His Ninetieth Birthday Yes
 terdaY. !

Mir. Israel Roberts is Montgomery most venerable citizen. Yesterday was his ninetieth birthday. He came to this city in 1S40. and so has been a resident for ever sixty years. For fifty years of this period he has been a Deacon of the First Pres byterian Church. On yesterday the Christian Endeavor So- ciety of that church sent him re- ninder of his birthday in the form of d handsome basket of fruit. a very thoughtful and acceptable token.
 MT. Roberts has been until the past year quite vigorous and active for q man of his years. During the last few months he has weakened steadily, and he has nos been oM the street for some months. The recent hot weather has been very trying to him. He has looked forward with great hopefulness to passing his niaetieth birthday. and his numerous friends will rejoice with him in its attainment. It is to be hoped he may be spared for a long time to come. He has been a true and useful man in every relation of life.

Common Errors of the Careless
 Speaker.

"He don't" and don't she"
 "She don't"' and don't she"
 Tt don't" and don't it.'
 These errors are of common occur renee and are generally made by people who ought to know better.
 The person who uses the expression "I think he don't" would he astonished to hear the response II beg to diner with you. but 1 think he do." If 1t Is proper to say he don't" it is certainly equally proper to say "he do." for don't Is the abbreviated form of "do not" The conjunction runs, I do net, you do not. he does not" consequently the contracted form is 'I don't. you don't, he doesn't" So let us eschew che don't in the future and say he does not" or, what is perfectly permissible in easy utterance "he doesn't"
 When I have spoken of this particu- lar error the response that generally greets my ear is "isn't it strange that so many well educated people make t.ai mistake? 1t must be that when one uses that expression he don't CD think what he is saying. l never use it."
 Tt ain't" is another unpardonable error It sometimes seems as if all mistakes might be overlooked If one would refrain from "it don't" and Tt ain't." Amt Is the licensed contraction of ''am not" but not of lis not"
 T am not" you are not" "he is not. is the proper conjunction. The contracted form being T ain't," you aren't" he isn't" not "he ain't."
 Some people who endeavor to be cor- rect eschew contractions altogether, but there is no good reason why one should not use contractions if one will use the proper ones. To refrain from using them has the tendency to lend a pedantic air to ones speech. In digni- fled utterances before large assemblies one has less license. but in conversa- ton Il utterances contractions are per- missible.

EXPENSE OF THE CAMP
Nm ohicer Says t Did Not Break
 Up Before the Appointed Time.

Editor The Advertiser: %
 In a quoted interview that appears in the columns of yesterdays Adver- tiser, credited to an officer of the End Alabama. grave injustice is done the men who managed the Commissary and Quartermasters Departments of the en- campment of the 2nd that has just closed at Eufaula.
 The interview states that there was so much entertaining in camp for the first two days that the appropriation was exhausted and that the regiment ws1 forced to return home for the saTno reasons the camp was curtailed two days, the officer further says.
 The criticism is erroneous and unjust. It has no foundation in fact and the officer who made 1t had no knowledge of the affairs of his regiment. Refer ence to the files of The Advertiser will show that the officers conference held at the Capitol on the 24th of June de- cided with the Governors approval that the camp of the End should be held at Eufaula from the 9th to the 12th of July. inclusive. This gave the regiment six days in camp. At the same conference + was decided that the other two regiments should have the same time in camp, that is, six
  the Adjutant.Generals office directed that the regiment go in camp on the 9th day and come out on the 12th. The camp was held according to the instructions of that order.
 The officer was in error when he stated that the appropris ton was ex- hausted. The sppropriation was not exhausted. Tn fact, some portion of the Ends share of the. appropriation may be turned back into the Treasury or be used If necessary to help the other regiments. The encampment that has just closed at Eufaula was one of the cheapest that an Alabama regiment has ever held.
 There is no truth in the statement that the appropriation was squandered on entertainments. Beyond the luncheon given by the Montgomery Greys to the company's sponsors, for which the Greys paid./ there was no entertainment given by the regiment Or any part of the regiment. Not a dol lar of the States money was spent in entertaining outsiders.

CORRECT ENGLISH AND HOW
 TO USE IT.
By Josephhihne Turck Baker.
ARTICLE I. History of the English Language.

History of the English Language.
 The earliest inhabitants of the Brit ish isles were the Ceits, a branch of the Aryan 1amiiy. Linguistic history recognizes three famhes-viz., the Aryan, the Semitic and the Tuarnian (aiso called Altaic ana Urai-Aitaic.b
 All Europe was populated by branches of the Aryan IamilL with the exception of the countries occupied by the r1nns, Lapps, hungarians. Iuf<s. a section Tn the Pyrenees mountains occupied by the Basques, the Caucasian mountain district, and section of country skisting the Artic ocean Tn the northern part of Russia.
 The Ceits of Great Britain and the continent. the Teutons, Greeks, Rom ans and Slavonians all traced their an- cestry to the Aryan family, whose easternmost branch. .he lndo-Persian (the earliest revealed by history, IS supposed to have had it's original home in the high tablelands north Of the Himilaya mountains in Asia, and as far back as 2,000 years before Christ, 1t Is supposed that its two great tribes, the Hindoos and the Pers.an5 thence the name Indo-Persian) crossed the mountains and settled on the banks Of the Ganges and the Indus, whence they spread over India-as far as the east ern and western Ghats-and Persia, while other tribes of the same family migrated westward5 populating Europe. So in the language of Max Muiier, "thefe was time when the ancestors of the Celts. the Germans. the Slavon- ians. the Greeks and Italians. the Per sians and Hindoos, were living together beneath the same roof separate from the ano estors of the Semitic and Tur- anian races" The meaning of the word Aryan is thought by some philogoists to come from the root "ar." meaning earth. hence to mean ito blow" or ito till."
 Semitic comes from the word Shem- the followers of Shem. Turanian comes from 'Tura," which implies the swift ness of the horse.
