 Many years of the life of Major Crossland were passed in Wilcox Coun- ty, but he came to Montgomery a number of years ago and was a patri- otic citizen of the Capital City. Until he gave up his profession, owing to advanced ago., Major Crossland was an architect Many Montgomery buildings bear evidence to his skill in his profession.

CHAMPIONS OF POOR SPELLING.
Attitude Taken by a Professor in
 Chicago.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 During a discussion at the Chicago Woman's Club Wednesday Professor Arnold Tompkins of the Chicago Nor nal School said:
 "A man. should dress well-so should a woman-but not too we'll; he should comb, but not too well; he should write well, but not too well. and he should spell. but not too well.
 The press recently criticised high school pupils because they were poor spoilers. It was the highest compli- ment ever paid to them. because it proved that they were in better busi- ness"
 Another speaker indorsed this mo- tion by declaring that there were more important things in education than good spelling. and at the time was coming when the poor speller would no longer be considered ilIiterate.
 From these assertions and others like them which proceed from the mouths of school teachers we may in fer that a contempt for correct spell ing is being rather assiduousIy culti- vated by a considerable number of our modern educators. and the question arises whether they are not inviting contempt for themselves. It is to be noted, moreover, that they can put for
 
 in the matter. because the test of the value of spelling Is not confined to the classroom. It Is being applied every day in business and in the pro- fessions. The high school boy who is assured by Professor Tompkins that the censure of his errors in spelling is in fact a compliment may find that the more he justifies such compliments the more difficult 1t will be for him to II those upon whom he depends for em- ployment. That Is a phase of the sub ject that is of very great practical inn portance, and that admits, we should say. of little difference of opinion among persons of experience in the worlds work.
 It is a fair conclusion also that where slovenliness is encouraged in one branch of study its influence Is

Sharp Williams has had a master hand in this. He has dominated without domineering. Ills personal character, finest and richest in intimacy and community of interest, has been the solid basis for the rare superstructure of admiration and confidence which hls fellow Democrats have reared about him. His rectitude of sentiment, his entire freedom from arts demagogical, his consistent kindness-consistent be- cause natural-his steadfast practice of the Democratic doctrine among his fellows of equal rights to all and spe- cial privileges to none, his unfeigned joy in the prowess of any man of his following, who has boldly and creditably joined in the party battles on the floor of the House, have knit his friends to him with faith in his valor and virtue as a leader such as is accorded to few honored men. MT. Williams, since last November he un- dcrtcok the difficult task of aiding Speaker Cannon in selecting the minor ity membership of the House committees has been the object of many adulations. He has made for himself a national rep utation as one of the great Democrats of the times. The good will he has won and deserved has helped him, not that he much needed incentive. Many man, without the spur of necessity, mas been helped to better performance by appro- priate recognition.
 Praise From the North.
 Then, too, it has not been often of the last near half century that praise of southerner has gone SC much around the north as has carried the name of John Sharp Williams. His people are deeply ana gratefully touched by 1t. Him it divides between B blush and a laugh eB- in. a southerner, and assured as he Is of the good that was and Is in Nazareth, he must needs take the compliment with sheepish grace, the while chuckling to tho tunes of praise that come to him from beyond the rivers that freeze.
 Uncle Joe and John Sharp are quite good friends. Popular each with his own party, each enjoys the cordial esteem and unrestrained admiration of the opposite party Whatever partisan differences may bring the parting of the ways mem- bers of the House of both sides are well assured that Uncle Joe and John Sharp will always be stalwart champions and defenders of the rights and dignties of the House of Representatives. If any body in the House hands to Uncle Joe bouquet in a way that Is a sign and a token of national esteem, the Democrats. as well as the Republicans. heartily ap- plaud. If anybody does the handsome thing of that sort for John Sharp. the Republicans, as well as the Democrats. approvingly acclaim. Parting friends. the opposing leaders will go home each meet and carry assurance that there is nothing too good of the gifts of the peo-

The high est given is New Zealand, where the per capita expense is s30.3S, the lowest is the United States with a per capita showing of H.97.

The total estimated rev. enues for this period are $704 472.06o, or an excess over appropriation or authorized expenditure of $6.ls9,274. Continuing MT Hemenway says:
 Experience has demonstrated that one year with another, the actual expendit- ures of the government are about 5 per cent less than the appropriations made by Congress; and. anticipating that the coming fiscal year will not prove an ex- ception to this practically well estab- iished rule, 1t is safe to assume that the apparent surplus of revenues over ex- penditures will be augmented by not less than $35,000.000. thus affording a safe margin of at least s&4G, @. 0, 900 between rev. enues and expenditures with which to meet all legitimate deficiencies that may arise and that may have to be provided Tor next session and also affording A considerable sum to be devoted to the sinking fund"

So Dr. Tompkins may spell as he pIeases. but he ought to refrain from making a laughing stock of his pupils.

THE REAL CAUSE.
The Ancient Scalp-Fever Theory Ex-
 ploded.

At one time dandrun was attributed to the result of a feverish condition of the scalp. which threw off the dried cuticle in scales.
 Professor Unna. Hamburg, Germany, noted authority on skin diseases, explodes this theory and says that dandruff Is a germ disease.
 This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It can he cured if 1t is gone about in the right way. The right way, Of course and the only way, Is to kill the germ.
