Legs That Hear,

One of the strangest and most un-
expected Of the uses to which we could
imagine a leg as being put is that of
an organ of hearing. Yet such seems
to be one at least of the functions of
the fore legs in the cricket. On the
outer side of the tibia a small oval
space may be seen. in which the strong
armature which covers the rest Of the
body is reduced to a thin and mem.
branous condition, making tnus a sort
of window or drumhead. Commune
eating with this, inside the leg, are the
ends of a nerve. and it can hardly be
doubted therefore that the whole APP
paratus constitutes an auditory organ.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

On and after Oct. /. 1902, the sub
scription price of The Capital will be
STRICTLY CASH in advance, as
follows: 3 months 40 cts; 6 months 20
cts. !; one year s1.O0.
All subscriptions will be discontin-
ued at end of time paid for unless
order for renewal. accompanied with
cash. be received on or before date
of expiration.
We are led to this decision from
the fact that we believe it to be the
most satisfactory plan both to the
publishers and subscri5 ers. Very fire.
auently complaints are made to US
by subscribers because their papers
were continued beyond the time
paid for without renewal orders from
them. TIE most popular and success
full eastern papers are those adopting
this plan. The amount, we lose an
nually by the pay-when-you-get-ready
plan. if saved. would enable us to
furnish a much better paper to those
who pay as they go.
The subscription price of Tie Cap
itaI is so low, considering the size
and merit of the paper, that we can
not afford to continue sending it for
one, two, or three years without pay
mcnt, even were we then certain OF
receiving it. The great majority of
our subscribers we know do and will
pay, but as it is not possible for us
to know the exact financial standing
of each one, we are obliged to make
one rule for all. If your paper be
discontinued at end of time paid for,
do not conclude that it is necessarily
because we are afraid to trust you a
few weeks or months longer, but
rather because we must have some
uniform rule in dealing with a
thousand or more people, very many
of whom are strangers to US.
We will endeavor to give each sub
scriher ample notice Of the date. Of
expiration of his subscription but
this date you will always find print
ed on each paper along with your adj
dress. Trusting that this arrange
ment will prove satisfactory to our
many subscribers whose good will
and patronage we are very DESTROYS
of retaining, we are,
Yours Truly.

CRIPPLED OLD VETERAN
 IS GIVEN HIS LIBERTY
Convicted of False PTetenSeS, He Was Sent to the Penitentiary--PardOned by the
 Governor Yesterday.

The heart of Johu W. Nixon, grizzled and gray Confederate veteran, who is a State convict from Franklin County, will be made glad this morning when he learns that he has been granted an abso- lute pardon and that his civil and poli- tical rights have been restored by Gov ernor Jelks.
 This hero of a war that caused the world to wonder was recently convicted of false pretenses and notwithstanding he had given five of the best years of his life to the cause of the State he loved he was sentenced to serve one year and a day in durance vile to pay the penalty of his one mistake.
 Nixon was tried November Is at the fall term of the Circuit Court of Frank lin County. The trial took place before Supernumerary Judge A. H. Alison who strongly recommended to the Governor that a pardon be granted. Solicitor w J. James also recommended the pardon.
 In recommending Nixon to executive clemency, rSupernumerary Judge Alstor wrote Governor Jelks as follows:

While citizens of Montgomery have registered sufficient complaint against the service afforded the public by the Mont gomery postoffice, voice of distress that progressive little East Alabama city claim that the trouble which rests heav- fly upon their shoulders is also caused by the inefficiency, inadequacy or inconl- potency of the Montgomery postofice;
 As late as last night citizens of Opelika telegraphed The Advertiser that not . single copy of this newspaper had reach ed there since Saturday. There are two routes to Opelika and these indignant citizens declare that if mails were dis as they should be and would be from a we'll regulated postoffice, that the mails frcm Montgomery would be routed hy way of Birmingham if it was found that the mails could not go by the Western Railroad.
 There is great complaint here over the fact that the postal authorities appear to be ignoring Opelika," one reputable citizen telegraphs The Advertiser. flor that matter all of East Alabama is com plaining about the delay to mails com ing from Montgomery The fault seems to be with the Montgomery postoffice.
 It has the choice of two quick and near routes to Opelika but for some strange Alabama is not dispatched as it should be. With the trains. from Birmingham and Columbus arriving here regularly there has not been an Advertiser here since Saturday.

MISSING NECKLACE FOUND.
It, Was Sent to the Wrong Address
 Through Mistake.

Washington. Dec. 3l.-The s3.500 dia- mond necklace, supposed to have been shipped by Messrs Shaw and Berry, of this city. to Joseph Frankels & Sons of New York, and which was thought to have been stolen, has been found. A long distance telephone message from a wo- man in Pittsburg to the jewelry firm here conveyed the information that the necklace had reached her among other Christmas packages from Washington, but as 1t bore no card of the sender, she made inquiry of the local firm as to who had sent it. In this way the necklace was located. An error of a trusted ship ping clerk gave rise to the conclusion at once that the package containing the dia- monds had been tampered with and it's contents removed The necklace is now on its way to Washington from Pitts burg
 The original belief of Messrs Shaw & Berry that the diamonds were distracted from a package while it was in transit from Washington to New York by ex- press is shown to have been incorrect. The firm desires clearly to absolve the Adams Express Company from any con- nection, immediate or remote with the temporary disappearance of the jewelry. which was due wholly to the incorrect address placed upon the package.

Yellow Fever Banished.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 That there were no death from yellow fever in Havana and no cases of that disease during the month of November is a demonstration of what can be done to improve sanitation when there is in- telligent and absolute power. The Ameri- can military authorities have in two years practically wiped out yellow fever in cities that were once its breeding places. and yet New Orleans struggled with the plague almost as long as Hava- na did The result shows how important 1t is to our own national health that scientific sanitation should be enforced in Cuba. Under Spanish rule Havana and Santiago were constantly propagat- ing the disease and sending it to South ern ports. It was practically an impos- sibility to quarantine effectually against 1t or to stamp 1t out when once it had become epidemic on American soil How
