We corrected The Mobile Register for speaking of the forthcoming Virginia Ex- position as ."tri-centennial," and informed 1t that 1t should have spoken of it as the "ter-centennial." That, however. doesn't suit The Virginian-Piot, which insists that it is "ter-centennary," and then meanly adds that 'it Is as hard for an Ala bama editor to get his facts straight as it is to keep kinks out of his Eng fish," Just hearken to that, now! All the kinks we get in our English is caused by trying to keep up with the Norfolk variety. The esteemed Richmond Dis patch also prods The Advertiser and The Mobile Register about the name of their old Exposition, and says we should study our dictionaries. Well, if we do that, we shall have as good authority for calling it ''tri-centennary' as "ter-centennary," but have it your own way. It is your own job, and you shall call 1t what you please

CHEAP RooZsaRIES.

Bridgeport, Conn, oua'S to be very ankxactive place for immA" ants, of cer- tasa kind. We are assG by Hart foxl paper that ''stufi s-,led whiskey can now be bought in , cent doses in many of the barrooms of Bridgeport,
 and if that information is made public It will draw to that staid old town more additions to the population than will be either desirable or profitable. There are people in this world who care but little for the quality of their booze, provided the quantity is satisfactory and the price within their means Anything which will fuddle the brain and tangle the legs goes with that class of drinkers, and If they can get fair sized drink for nickel they can get a satisfactory jag at a very small outlay.
 The Hartford Times thinks the Board of Health of Bridgeport should investigate this new jag-producer and ascertain whether the liquid sold is really whiskey or the essence of old bootlegs mixed with wood alcohol" but by what authority? Unless the town officials are authorized to investigate all liquors sold in order to determine whether they are pure, why should they inquire into this. cheap brand? True, if any death can be traceable directly to this cheap whiskey 1t might be in order to inquire into it and sec If the stuff is really poisonous. but If no evil effects can be traced direct By to its use there seems to reason for the authorities to interfere.
 But, after all, why should it be assum- ed that whiskey is poisonous because a drink of 1t can be bought for cents? Unless license and taxes are very high in Bridgeport there ought to be fair profit at that figure. As ordinarily measured out in. a saloon there are from fifty to sixty drinks Tn a gallon. and as whiskey can be bought by the barrel at but little over one dollar per gallon 1t some profit in the nickel drink. Of course if license and other taxes are high fancy mixed drinks or very fine liquor gould not be sold at that price. but we have no doubt that there is a class of Ialoons in Bridgeport. as in other cities. where whiskey just as it is bought at wholesale. can be sold at cents a drink and money be made at it. We have no desire to sample it, but tastes differ.

$4,000 FOR INSTITUTE
A. j. BRUNT, OF ANDERSON, SUB
SCRIBES THAT SUM.
The Task of Securing the Remaining
$4,000 VIII Now BE Pushed
with VigOr.

Although the past week has been largely
one of gayety, the canvassing for the tech
meal institute continues, n those in
charge of the subscriptions lave not been
idle. A subscription that gave the pro-
moters encouragement was that of $40, 900
received yesterday from Mr.. A. j. Brunt,
whose home is in Madison county, near
Anderson. He is a farmer and banker in
that locality, and his subscription was So
licited by Sol c. Dickey. Mr.. Brunt Wis.,
tied the arsenal grounds with Mr.. Dickey
yesterday and expressed himself as very
much pleased with the location for the
proposed school,.
The total amount subscribed before Mr..
Brunt's gift was 500, 900, and the necessary
amount to get the technical institute is
$4,000. The remaining $4,000 was divided
into two parts of SIS. 900 each. one part to
be raised by Mr.. Dickey and the other by
| Albert Sahm and G. w. Brown. The sub
~scription of Mr.. Brunt of SIC, 1000. is part of
the amount that Mr.. Dickey is trying to
| raise. It is said that the remaining SIS, 1000
to be secured by Mr.. Dickey is in sight.
! This leaves $4,000 for Mr.. Sahm and Mr..
| Brown to get. They succeeded in obtain
ing about $1,000 last week and hope to be
able to procure the balance. This week the
work of adding to the fund will be pushed
with more vigor, as there is not a great
while left in which to raise the money. II
is believed that the entire amount will have
to be raised by Nov. /.
The method of securing subscriptions this
week will be containued along the same
lines as before, and the business men and
business houses will be visited in an effort
to get the required sum. Mr.. Brown says
that people should not think that the battle
has been won by any means, but that there
is a good deal of work to be accomplished
yet. He hopes. however. that the coming
week will bring a large amount of subscrip.
tons and that the technical school may b,
secured for indianapolis. He does not wan
il thought by the people of this city tha'
small amounts are not acceptable, but hi
wishes il understood that SIS. 600 Is a big sun
OF money TO raise and that every cent help.
to secure the necessary amount.

They did dance well. but 1t is hardly prob

about the automobile and he rides on the
stage in a contrivance of his own tina is a

ways up to date: in the first part he sings
about the relation of immortality to the
local grave-robbing scandal. That is q
sample of the bad taste that minstrel au-

the singing that minstrel shows have con-
