DOLLARS AND CENTS.
That's the Question, Says Gen. Cor
bin, of Young officers Marrying.

washington, Nov. 13-Gen. Corbin's
statement in his annual report diseour
aging the marriage of the younger otfi-
GERS in the army has been much DIS
cussed. Gen. Corbin gave some further
views on the subject today
Il am not opposed" he said. to mar
riage of officers of the army at any
time, but it is reasonable to assume
that a young officer with poor pay can
not attend to the duties of his position,
which are often expensive, and also take
one of sentiment. 1t is one of dollars
and cents. Far from being opposed to
marriage, I am suggesting ways by
which the young officers can be married
l am in favor of inaugurating system
of deposits for young officers, by winch,
after they accumulate $50 say, it be de-
posted, and then continuous deposits
with interest rate of 4 per cent.
1T goes without saying that second
lieutenant, for instance, with pay of
about $40 per month, can do very little
in the first year or any year after pay
ing all his expenses. AS matter of
fact there is usually handicap of deb
by reason of expensive living at distant
posts and the purchase of the outfits.
1 have no doubt that with a savings
system followed out the young officers
could marry. at least there would be
no trouble on the score of money for a
happy life"
Gen. Corbin gave some interesting
statements about famous officers and
their marriages. lone of the cases IN
point" he said lis that of Gen. Grant.
He was married when a second lieuten-
ant, and resigned because he could not
support his family on his pay. Lieut..
Gen. Miles did not marry until he was a
colonel Gen Hancock was married
when he was a captain. Gen. Sherman.
1 believe. married in civil life Gen
Sheridan was a major general when he
was married A feature of this army
life appears to me to be that the young
officers who are rich do not marry"

OFFICE OF SHERIFF
LIVELY CONTEST FOR VACANT
 sHRIEvALTY OF COLBERT.
Four Applicants for Position Made Vacant by Death of Charles Gassoway-To Be Appointed
 by the Governor.

There promises to be a lively contest for the vacant Shrievalty of Colbert County caused by the death of Sheriff Charles Gassoway. who was killed by the negro Will Reynolds in the incipient rrot at TuScumbia about week ago.
 To date there are four avowed appli- cantS for the place which is to be filled by Governor Jelks and the expected ap- pointment has brought many citizens of Colbert County to Montgomery. The ap- plicants who have thus far filed formal application with Governor Jelks are: Dr. w. E. Bevifl. practicing physician Of Sheffield, A. F. McCleskey. a Justice of the Peace of Tuscumbia: C. C. Price of Tuscumbia and J. J. Vinson of Leighton.
 pr. Bevill and Messrs. Rice and McCles- Key were in MontGomery yesterday. They were accompanied by several of their friends and each applicant and his friends were given an audience by the Governor.
 Hon. A. H. Carmichael. chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Colbert County and member of the last Constitutional Convention, is also in the city. He is supporting Mr. McCieskey for Sheriff of Colbert County and it is openly said that the contest has mar rowed to Dr. Bevill and MT. McCleskey. pr. Bevill, it is said. came within fifty three votes of defeating the late Sher- III Gassoway at the time of his election and the friends of Dr. Beviil contend that he IS the choice of the people of Col bert County.
 As the county is without Sheriff and Coroner it is probable the appointment will be announced today or tomorrow
