Encourage the Militia.

Birmingham NeWE.
 The statement that a number of the members of the Birmingham military companies who went to Huntsville re- gently to preserve order returned home to find that they had lost their busi- ness positions presents a very serious question for. the consideration of the thoughtful citizen.
 If the loss of ones regular emplov- ment Is to be the penalty for joining a company of the National Guard. how is the militia to be maintained? No onS will deny the necessity for a well organized and thoroughly trained militia Recent events at Statesboro. Ga. and at Huntsville, in this State, have shown the need of better military organizations and more attention to this branch of the law-enforcing arm of our government.
 iBut how is the standard of the militia to be preserved and raised where this necessity exists If the young men who join it by so doing imperil their posi- tions in the business world? Business men as a class should be among the first to encourage the citizen soldiery. Without an efficient militia organiza- . ton ready at all times to respond to emergency calls for the maintenance of law and order mob rule cannot be suppressed. Instead of punishing those who join the militia they should ha encouraged and sunDortAd

SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX
IMPORTANT OPINION BY THE Ar
 TORNEY GENERAL.
Funds ArisinG from This Source Are " Re ApportiOued in same han- ner as General Educa-
 tlOnal Fund.

Under the educational laws or the State how should the funds raised oy special school tax be apporuoneo This was the question which the De- pertinent of Education submitted to At torney General Massey Wilson ana
 which was answered by the Attorney General in an opinion rendered yester- day.
 The Attorney General holds that the funds from special school tax s"ai, be apportioned as the general school funds. After a county has voted TOT special school tax the Tax Collector col lects 1t and he turns 1t over to the County Superintendent It shall then
 be divided among the school children in the way the money from the general school fund is apportioned. The Attorney Generals opinion was as follows:
 Hon Isaac W. Hill. Superintendent Of Education, Capitol:
 Dear Sir-I am of the opinion that funds raised by the levy of special tax for the support of public scnoois under the act approved October l, i'Vo' | should be apportioned in substantially the same way as the general school fund Is apportioned, that is, to the dis tricts in the county which are not gov termed by the general school law In the proportion which the school population of such districts bears to the entire school population of the county, and
 that the remainder of the funds should be apportioned to the several districts in the county which are governed by
 the general law in the same proportion
 that the general fund has been appor- toned by the County Board of Educa-
 tion to such districts.
 | 'Wery respectfully. | Massey Wilson. | "Attorney General" l A special school tax has been voted lin several of the Alabama counties.

 After generous applause throughout the progress of the play last night. the audience paid tribute to the artistic ability of MT. Edwards with a curtain call after the dramatic climax of the third act.
 The young actor responded with a neat speech in which he said he deeply appreciated the hospitality he and his company had been shown in his first engagement in Montgomery. It spur red him on to greater efforts to please, he said, and he hoped that the favor with which they had been received would be increased by their efforts in David Garrick,'' the bill for tonight which. he added. had been kindly spoken of elsewhere. The play, as in the preceding performances went smoothly, the climaxes and ensembles in the third and fourth acts being especially well executed.
 No one in the cast is deserving of more credit for the success of The Sign of the Four" than Miss Marion Lorne who is due the highest praise Her gentleness. the sweetness of her we'll modulated voice. full of expres- sion. and the grace of this clever little actress have delighted the patrons of the Bijou.
 The company as a whole did its work well. Miss Wheatley being especially finished in her portrayal of Mrs Shelt

 All contracts necessary for the in- numerable details connected with the exhibition of the Great Wallace Shows in this city have been completed and this show which Is one of America 8 largest amusement enterprises, will visit this city tomorrow.

No money is spared. no expense considered too great to procure the best that can be had In all departments of such a mammoth insti- tuition.
 It Is really credit and a benefit to any community to have show of such magnitude and character AS the Great Wallace Show to visit it. and It's coming to this city will certainly please the lovers of in nocent amusements. The fact that the Great Wallace Show is in the very foremost rank of such amusements, and in a class exclusively of its own as to exceptional merit. Is sure to cause an unusually liberal patronage upon It's visit here
 The Wallace Show Is one of the big gest; 1t is a ten-acre department store whose wares consist of amusements People who patronize the big depart ment stores are not expected tc want something in every department. ncith- CT is 1t expected that a spectator at the Wallace Circus will be able to see ev- cry act; but it Is expected that he will not have any trouble to find what he likes to see. The management has so arranged its program that acts suita- ble to the great variety of tastes are always in view throughout the entire performance, which lasts two and a half hours.
 The Great Wallace Show will give two performances unders its immense waterproof tents in Montgomery. sat urday.

SILVA AND
HIS TRICKS
The PunchboWl Lad
Is Being Well
Coached.

Judging by the callers at the Or
and afternoon, the excellent boxing
program arranged by Manager Cohen
has taken grip of the public who will
be present on Friday evening in full
events.
The Camp Mckinley crowd is out
with the goods ready and eager to back
Modlin against the plucky little chap
impossible for a man from Guam to
best a United States soldier boy as long
as the latter has a leg to stand on and
are already counting their winnings.
Castro has not many wealthy friends
at the back of him but some of the
wise ones who usually walk home from
Orpheum ring side contests with all ex
penses paid are taking up a little of the
money and at the mention of odds on
the soldier are opening up fat pocket
books. But most of the betting will not
come out until the first round has gone
by and Castro's condition has shown
itself.
Silva is learning tricks nowadays, not
tricks that he will practice on Huihui,
he is too big to attempt any monkey
shines, but he is mastering lots of little
lodges that Jimmy Fox primed Huihui
with so that he will be able to fore
close on any little feints that the native
may endeavor to carry through. He
had better not let me hit him too
often,'' said Silva yesterday, because
if I do land on him he'll not stay in
the same place for another one to
come" Not that Silva is cocky over
his own possibilities but he realizes
where his chances are and is prepared
to make the most of his muscles.
Huihui is undoubtedly confident. as
perhaps he has reason to be in the light
of his former triumphs. That he is
cleverer than the big Silva no one de-
MES and that he can punch hard enough
to put him out, his bout with DeLile
testified to, but Silva will have skilful
advice from his corner and unless Hui
hui speedily does him up his weight
and strength must tell towards the end
of the eight rounds. The go is certainly
no cinch for either of them.
The fight between Kelly and Barry
will start at a fast clip it is said with
Barry playing for the body and taking
chances with his tough neck and jaw
against anything that Kelly may land.
Kelly has the weight but it is extreme
" doubtful if he can land as hard a
punch as Dave and despite his imprOv-
ed physical condition Barry should
stand the more punishment of the two.
Neither of them is likely to get tired
soon especially with the free break
Always and unless something untoward
happens the fight will go we'll towards
the limit. II would not be safe to bet
on it ending under ten rounds.
