 Gossip From the State
 Capital.
 
OWEN HAS WORK IN CHARGE

Montgomery, April 4.-(Special.) With the proper cooperation by the veterans of the state, a complete roster of Ala bamians who served in the war between the states will soon be compiled. From time to time during the last quarter or a century attempts have been made to secure such a roster, but 1t was never completed and the files now in the office of the adjutant general at the capitol furnish little information.
 Under a request of the governor from the secretary of war at Washington to furnish the war department with the roster, Governor Jelks has commissioned Thomas M. Owen, director of the state department of archives and history, to gather the data. Mr Owen has begun the work and is meeting with very gratifying cooperation from the camps of veterans the chapters of daughters and individuals interested. In a communication to MT. Owen, Colonel Ainsworth, chief Of the record and pension office at Washington, states that the Alabama rolls on f1le are quite incomplete.
 He also set out the kind of data desired. For instance, the Washington depart ment will accept none except the orig inal copies of the rolls made during the period of war. It is believed that prac- tically all of these rolls are now in ex- istence and MT. Owen makes earnest ap- peal that persons now in possession of them forward them to Rim at Montgom- cry at as early date as possible These rolls will be of vast interest to future his- torians, and this is why 1t Is hoped to get them absolutely full and correct.

am a firm believer in that wonderful remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. It's great med icine when a man is not feeling we'll; after exposure or loss of sleep and irregular meals. It is also a great medicine to tone up and regulate a man. There is such a pleasant taste to it and it seems to go right to the spot. 1 use it and recommend it. There is more Swamp-Root used by Kansas City firemen than any other medicine twice over.

Railroad Commission Meets Monday


 The Alabama railroad commission will convene in regular monthly session next Monday and this being the first meeting since the adoption of the new commission law much interest attends this meeting. While the commission now has greatly enlarged powers 1t Is not probable that any definite steps will be taken at this first meeting to enforce any of the pro- visions of the law not now in force
 The members of the commission, how ever, are at work familiarizing them- selves with the new provisions and gath ering data as to rates in this and adjoin- ing states. The first hearing on rates will be had at the regular meeting on the first Monday in May. At this meeting the rates on grain and hay will be eonsid- cred. From time to time shippers have appealed to the commission to regulate the rate on hay and grain in the state, but the commission has been unable to accomplish anything. The commission has gathered some very interesting compara- tive data, and 1t shows the rate in Ala bama to be considerably in excess of the rate in Georgia. It is shown that the Central of Georgia railroad hauls grain and hay in Georgia in carload lots ten miles at 55 cents per hundred. In Ala bama the rate for the same distance is Il cents. This ratio is maintained in long CT hauls.
 There is sufficient evidence now before the commission to guarantee that the May meeting is going to be one of the most interesting ever held. It may fix a precedent for the filing of other com plains and result in a general attack up- on the tariff rates on all the roads in Alabama. As a mtter of course, the rail- roads are going to be represented at the meeting, and the officials claim it to be an easy task to show that Alabama is not discriminated against in the way of rates. They claim that they have placed into effect every order yet received from the commission.

THAT UNIFORM EXAMINATION.

The August number of the West Vir.
ginia School journal contains the fol.
lowing article about the recent uniform
state examination, which is supposed TO
be State Superintendent Thomas c. Mil.
icr's explanation of the action of the
grading board in issuing so few No. j
certificates:
AT the June examination under the
new system there we're 1858 applicants
for teachers certificates, and Of this NM
RS had never taught. About 200 Of the
applicants received first grade certii
Gates, $50 second grade, and 800 third
grade. There we're nearly 400 who fail.
ed to make the percentage required fol-
n number three grade, these nearly all
being young men and young women who
had never taught The small number OF
first grade certificates ssued can be ac.
counted for from the fact that there arc
n great many teachers in the state wlc
hold foru-ycar certificates not vet ex-
pircd. These, of course, are all number
one grade. Then, too, many waited foi
the second examination order that they
might review their studies somewhat
From present reckoning about 900 took
the second examination on July % ana
81"
The explanation is not altogether sui.
ficient. 1t is to be inferred from it thai
there were but few No. l teachers whe
took the examination, and that the sec.
ond grade teachers did not earn frs
grade certificates. The truth of the mat
ter is that several No. teachers in ti.
county took the examination and they
had been teaching for years on an excel
lent No. |. Why did they not get No.
certificates this year? If they are in III,
second grade class, then are also man,
of those who have hold.ovcr certificate.
of the first grade, and there is no rea
son why they should get first grade sal
airy and their equals second grade, lust
because the grading board says so.
The uniform examination system is tho
proper thing, but it is something new
and has to be adopted gradually. Thei,
ought to have been none wiser on shi-
subject than the grading board and that
body ought to have recognized the fact
that much liberality should have been
observed, until the system was fitted tc
our teachers and the teachers to the sys,

DID HE PASS OR FUNK?
By c. Ralph Davis, Wyatt, W. Va

" ANoIPn baEls, wyatt, W. va.
The examination now is over,
With all its labors ended,
The thing most needed for us all
Is our broken spirits mended.
We labored hard for two long days,
Full Of pride and spunk;
The question now on every lip is
did he pass or aunk3"
From early morn till close of day
We worked with one accord,
Trying to answer all the questions;
Honestly, before the Lord.
For eager eyes were on us all,
And some almost sunk,
When Newton said, do your best,
And either pass or funk"
Some city folks called one day
To see US working hard,
And read upon the outer walls,
"visitors, please stay in the yard"
This raised their Christian Indignation,
But Newton, wise as any monk,
Closed the door and said, Stay out,
And let them pass or funk"
Some with jackets stuffed and full
With nice little monkey papers
Were trying TO pass on that day;
But Newton watched their capers,
BE honest. teachers, and do the work,
Even If you get sunk"
And now the question is,
Did he pass or hunk?"
When evening came the second day,
With all this bunch of news,
The county board started home,
And the teachers 70 get some boose.
They walked the streets till late at night
Before they found their bunk,
And now they are asking all the time,
did / pass or hunks"
