 All that the French savants can estab- fish is that the wireless telegraph cannot immediately supersede the wire telegraph now in use But when signals can be sent across the Atlantic and when ships forty miles away from each other can communicate by means of the Marconi apparatus, there seems reason to believe that something has been done which promises much for the future. The crude beginning is wonderful. The fully de- veloped system is likely to be more won- derful still.-Chicago Qllo Tribune. It now looks as if there is no man around whom opposition could crystalize, but certain 1t is that the Rooseveitian policy on patronage matters is not giv- ing satisfaction to many politicians of his party But in proportion as they are displeased other people are pleased. As long as the masses of the people believe in Theodore Roosevehs courage and in- tegrity as now, 1t is not likely that maneuvering against him will accomplish tangible results.-Des Moines Oa.)

 The more the bill prepared by the War Department for increasing the efficiency of the militia of the United States is con sidered the more it comments itself as a necessary and practical measure, the enactment of which will prove of the highest value to the national military effectiveness.-Chica (Ell.)

 The fact seems to be that the nations of Europe arc becoming afraid of the big country on the western shore of the At lantic. It is q fear predicated. not on the danger of conquest of war, but on the enormous jealousy which exists among

GODS WILL.

On tiny cot In darkened room The pride of a household lay No hope for little Sunbeam's life. It goes with the dying day" Gods will be done" the watchers cried. And they knew he looked on them: But they struggled yet with the messenger That would do His will for Him. The sun sank low in the western sky, Mid the clouds of gold and red, And Death yet stood with the weeping friends As they knelt by the baby's bed. Gods will be done" the doctors said. But they worked with Zealous care, Till they brought the child from the vale o
 death To the arms of the loved ones there. And tho city sang of the great mems skill. Of the battle nobly won; They saved life, yet who will say That Gods will was not done?

 Prattville, Feb. a-(Special)-The La- dies Missionary Society of the M. E. Church gave an entertainment at the Sunday school rooms of that church last night to a crowded house. It was Aunt Jerusha Dow's Quilting Party" and was quite a success. The local hits by the members of the party were we'll re- ceived. The door receipts, $55. was given to the parsonage fund for repairs.
 Your correspondent Is of the opinion that the Prattville Rifles, Company B, 2nd regiment of the. Alabama National Guard, will not be discharged as was indicated in the columns of The Adver- tiser this morning. It is true that there are several members of the company who are ready to quit when the time'for which they enlisted Is out, but there are also several others who are ready to join the company and keep it to its normal strength. It is not thought here that these will be any further trouble in the company.
 From the best information there will not be an perceptible reduction of the white vote of Autauga this year. All the white men of this county have never voted at any one election. nor have they ever taken much interest in the election, put hedriy dil the "hAto "iSn AN'0 Pe-AN their poll taxes this year. Your corre- spondent has made diligent inquiry and finds less than a dozen failed to pay the tax. On the other hand, many who were exempt by law paid up. Very few me- groes paid their polls. Since the excuse for unfair methods in elections has been removed, there will not be tolerated in this county one particle of fraud. and 1t is the consensus of opinion now that the first man who tries to cheat in an elee- ton shall be dealt with in strict accord ance with the provisions of the Consti- tution.

Incidentally the public, as we'll as the storckeeper and the manufacturer. are interested in this question of substituting one article for another.
 That which Is represented as just as good is usually NOT just as good. but very far from it.
 If a man has spent a million dollars building up the reputation Of a certain article it Is to his advantage to keep up the quality of the material which enters into the manufacture of that article. His profit is large if he is honestly treated, and it would be suicide for him to use inferior material for the sake of little extra money.
 The man who makes up an imitation article and announces it as just as good" has no such sum at stake. He has in- vested nothing. He has no valuable name to ruin, and 1t is to his interest to make the just as good' article JUST AS CHEAP as he can make it.
 The buyer should remember thes'' facts and put his confidence in that retailer who. like the man quoted at the head of this article. gives to the customer JUST WHAT HE ASKS FOR, treats the wholesaler honestly, and shows gratitude for the energy which builds up success full business and makes the retailer pros , porous.

I'VE GIVE YOU JUST
 WHAT YOU ASK FOR"
A Short Sermon on the Dishonest Practice of Substitution" by
 Storekeepers.

 New York Journal Editorial,
 Outside the drug store-the store of J. Milhau's Son, at No. 1S3 Broadway--you may read the announcement at the head of this column "We give you just what you ask for"
 We are glad to seize upon this occasion to pay tribute to this motto. and, in cidentally to point out dishonest and very common practice among merchants that of substituting one article for an- other.
 One. business man devotes all his en- ergy. money and his time to building up the reputation of a certain article. He enables the retailer to make a large profit, and he spends his money that customers may be plentiful.
 Don't buy that. We have something else just as good and much cheaper"
 If the merchant has something good and cheap of his own. let him sell it to his customers by all means. But let him not steal the trade of q man whose en- ergy helps to build up his business. Let him not divert to his own pocket all of the profit which he ought to in honesty share with another.
 There are wares that are made enor- mously profitable to the retailer simply because men push their business with in- teliigence and perseverance, It is un- grateful as we'll as dishonest for the sake of little extra prolt to cut into the legitimate business of the advertising manufacturer.

Back From Smoky Valley.

W. W. Blood and Wesley Warren
returned this week from an extensive
trip through Smoky valley. They
report that the water in all the
streams is lower now than it has
been in thirty years. Moores creek
seems to be producing more than any
of the valley streams Jefferson, Jet
and Pueblo are all low, and unless
rain comes they will all be dry inside
of fifteen days. There is a raging
forest fire in the Twin river district
which is destroying much valuable
timber. There will be a general
shortage of products throughout the
valley this year, owing to an early
frost in the spring and lack of water
in midsummer.
There are a number of prospectors
in Jet and Jefferson districts and
along the main zone of the Tonopah
belt between a point about opposite
San Antonio going north to Mt JEFF
ferson, which is the highest peak in
the State, having an elevation OF
1905 feet. This district includes
the old Silver Point and Jefferson
and extends beyond Moore creek,
which is the most northern extension
of the Tonopah range.
