Bad Side Walks.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Perhaps the most neglected sidewalk in this town is under the special care @ of the city government. This Tuesday) morning there fell a moderate shower, and only a moderate shower. All along Monroe Street, where the Capitol Hin School property abutts, the sidewalk was over a mans shoes in water. The Wa \ was impracticabIe of use That is not all. Sand from the hil washes over 1t and has become so deep there that 1t is a shame to the owner of the property. Let us have a few loads from the Carter gravel pit of historic fame upon this spot and let us have it quick.

Increasing Number of Shows.

Had you observed" asked a man who is A regular patron of Montgomery the atres. 'the increased number of shows touring the South this season as com pared with other seasons? Here it is the first week in November and twenty-seven separate. companies have already appear ed at the Montgomery Theatre. l under stood that the bookings at this theatre are heavier this year than ever before. Certainly 1t would appear so from the first six weeks of its season. And few good attractions that have been here have been disappointed with their patronage. Montgomery is called good show town by people in the business. It does seem that the American people are amusement mad They want to be entertained and they are willing to pay for 1t. Why, New York city has something over forty recognized theatres, and most of them are making money. Nearly every year we read of some mercantile or profes- sional man giving up his business and entering the theatrical business either as the owner of a travelling show or the atre. It appears that there Is much money to be made in the business"

Has No Comments on tn
 Returns.

Washington, Nov. S-President Roose- welt arrived in Washington at S:l5 p. m. from Oyster Bay. No sooner had the train come to a standstill than the President alighted. He was handed the latest election dispatches of the Asso- ciated Press and stepped under an cleo tric light in the station to read them. He made no comment. Owing to the im- mense crowds which had gathered on Pennsylvania avenue to view election re- turns 1t was necessary for the Presi- dents driver to take him through side streets in order to reach the White House. In anticipation of his arrival big crowd assembled at the Pennsylvania station to greet him. AS is his usual custom he shook hands with the engineer and fire man on leaving the train.

One Result of Elections.

He was talking of what the elections of yesterday would bring about. He was a well informed politician. It was early in the day and before any results had been fOrecasted.
 If Mcclellan wins by a heavy vote in New York;" he argued. "a New York man vii be nominated by the Democrats for President Grover Cleveland. although he lives in New Jersey, is a New York man. If the Democrats win many victo- ries in the East, Cleveland will be the Democratic nominee. The country is fast slipping towards him and if he Is nom- mated President Roosevelt will have many bad nights before he is returned to the White House."

Let Us Have the College.

Editor The Advertiser:
 You are entirely right when you say that one of Montgomery's most urgent needs is an. educational institution of high grade. We have allowed this matter to be neglected too long already. Yes, a college brings much money to the place at which 1t is located.
 The students, teachers and visitors to the college stay continuously for months. They buy clothes and other things for weeks and years together. Necessarily they turn loose much money in a town Moreover, they are the kind of guests who count in the long run as no others can. They come from the best classes in the country.
 But as you wisely say. "there are things which an educational institution brings to a city more valuable than money"
 Any merely material good Is the least fruit to be had from such a plant. The immaterial value of such an institution is far away and beyond all financial good whatsoever.
 Now Is our opportunity. Let us have the college. Let us set about the matter without delay. Layman.
