BLANTON MUST AWAIT
 GRAND JURY'S ACTION

fense. The purpose of his testimony was to prove that the letter Blanton said his father mailed to the Bank of Jasper October 10, 1904, at Double Springs, went to it's destination and that Blanton did not go in person to the Bank of Jasper on that day
 On the margin of the letter were writ ten some figures. used in computing in- terest.
 Mir. Cranford said he did not remem- her receiving the letter, but that it was found in the files of the bank, and that fhe bank book showed the deposit had heen transferred October 10, from Wrights account to Blanton's. He thought that the two endorsements on the back of the certificate were written in the same ink and at the same time.
 Then came the arguments of counsel. Assistant United States Attorney Steele opened. followed by MT. Williams of Rus- sellville, for the defense.
 MT Curtis of Gaston & Curtis closed for the defense. followed by Assistant Tinted States Attorney Standifer for the government.
 Commissioner Birch, in rendering a de- eision. said that the case resolved itself into a question of fact. The testimony of witnesses was so conflicting that the question as to whether or not the de- fendant was guilty was one that jury should decide. Wright and Mrs. Howell had testified that he was guilty Blan- ton. that he was not. There was, Com missioner Birch said, probable cause to believe that the defendant was guilty" Accordingly he fixed bond at $500.

R. L. Blanton, the former judge of pro- bate in Winston county, charged with embedding a letter containing a valuable enclosure. in the postoffice at Double Springs October 10. 1904. was yesterday bound over by the United States eom- missioner in the amount of $500. to await the action of the federal grand jury. This decision was rendered by Commis- soner Birch after w. H. Cranford, the president of the Bank of Jasper, at Jas per, had testified and attorneys in the case had made their arguments.
 MT. Cranford's testimony had to do ex- clusively with a letter dated October 10, 1904 and signed by R. II. BIanton, and with the s75O certificate of deposit on the Bank of Jasper.
 MT. Cranford produced both the certifi- cate and the letter. The certificate was endorsed by H. A. Wright and R. Il. Blanton. Here is a copy of the letter: ''R. H. Blanton,

FOR WOMEN AND WOMEN ONLY
Much That Every Woman Desires to Know About Sanative, Antiseptic Cleansing and the Care of the Skin, Scalp, Hair, and Hands.
WHAT CUTICURA
 DOES FOR WOMEN

Too much stress cannot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills in the antisep- tic cleansing of the mucous sur faces, and of the blood and circulating fluids, thus affording pure, sweet, and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening alterations, inhammations, itchings, irritations, relaxations, displacements, pains, and irregularities peculiar to females. Hence the Cuticura remedies have wonderful influence in restoring health, strength, and beauty to weary women, who have been prematurely aged and invalided by these distress ing ailments, as well as such sympa- thetic affiictions as anemia, chlorosis, hysteria, and nervousness.
 Women from the very first have fully appreciated the purity and sweet ness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy which have made Cuticura the standard humour rem- edy of the civilized world

AN OLD MONTGOMERY MAN.

No doubt there are yet a few of the older citizens living in Montgomery who remember Thomas Gilbert, who died in Columbus, Ga. last Wednesday. In the early sos he and Thomas DeWolf were in the newspaper business in Montgomery when Dewolf & Britain were managing the old Advertiser and State Gazette. In 1854 Mir. DeWolf re- moved to Columbus and began the pub lication of The Daily Sun. and MT. Gil- bert became connected with that pa- per, and afterwards became its editor and publisher. About thirty years ago. when The Sun and The Enquirer were consolidated MT. Gilbert retired and since then has been in the book and job printing business.
 MT. Gilbert had a somewhat varied career. Born in England about. 1890 his father emigrated to this country and settled near Mobile when the boy was but two years old. While he was but boy he volunteered in an Alabama company for the Mexican war and served through it. Afterwards he came to Montgomery with MT. DeWoif and entered the newspaper business, as already stated. He was a splendid gentleman and a Christian citizen. and his sudden death caused almost uni versal sorrow In Columbus.

ANNOYING CONDITIONS.

The New York Commercial is puzzled to know how two great fleets, like those of Russia and Japan, 'can so completely lose themselves for sev- eral days" and we agree with 1t that 1t is a mystery. Those fleets. not only for days, but, for weeks, have kept each other and the rest of the world guessing and wondering. This is a day of general navigation. of war cor- respondents who find out almost every thing, to say nothing of wireless tel egraphy, yet the great fleets manage in some manner to hide all traces of their movements and to practically dis appear.
 We suspect that they really do not want to find each other very badly. Togo Is not afraid to fight the Rus- sian squadron. in our opinion. but he wants to select his own time and place. He is evidently playing waiting game and has his reasons for 1t. Whether he is keeping his fleet in the dark and in readiness for the decisive time. awaiting developments on land, no one knows, and no one Is likely to know until the Japanese Government Is ready to reveal it's plans. Of all modern pow CTS we doubt if there is one which more thoroughly possesses the faculty of keeping It's own counsel. When Togo and his Government decide that the time has come for a great and de- cisive naval battle we predict that it will be fought. That time may come today or next month. but it will come when Japan wants 1t.
 But it is somewhat worrying to the rest of creation to be kept in the dark in this way. It is hard on the news paper correspondents who pride them selves on keeping up with whatever is taking place. Each representative of a great newspaper loses much sleep we have no doubt, for fear some other cor respondent will get scoop on him and dtscredit him with his own paper. Nor is that all, for a decisive engagement between these great fleets, ending in the defeat of one, would have a serious effect on the markets of the world. The conditions are as annoying as they are uncertain.

Regimental Histories.
Editor The Advertiser:

EQttOr Tn6 AdYertlSer.
 Confederate reunions cannot last for ever. What Is to be done for the mem- ories of the cause and the defence of its principles when the reunions have done their last? wish sincerely every Confederate veteran of Alabama could see the five large and beautiful vol umes of the Regimental History of North Carolina, edited by Lieutenant Colonel Walter Clark. but written, every chapter, by different members of the commands.
 The law of Alabama provides for just such preservation of the history of ths now preparing a history of the sth in fantry. He was many years in public office, but the work he proposes to do now. for the State Department of Ar chives and History, is invaluable com pared with any he has ever done, how ever high all his other services may take rank. Colonel Herbert is busy derstands the public importance of this work. Free government is scientific government. It is a continuing force In it. If the science of Jurisprudence depends on the law books, the depart ment of jurisprudence is only a fune tion of free government that is itseif most instructive and influential events ever acted in enlightened society were acted by the Southern Confectionery. We buS--text books of moral precepts for our schools, but the tale of the Con- federate soldier is instruction by exam pie in eevry virtue of human life with out a parallel.
 Alabama needs now. without further delay, the class of historical work North Carolina has already done. We cannot afford to do without 1t. Here, as there, 1t must be the preservation of the record by the actors.
 If Capt. IT. c. Reynolds of Montevallo will write of the 61st cavalry, he could tell a tale of valor, endurance and sub- mission to God more entrancing to future generations than any story of the Crusaders.
 Private P. T. Vaughan of Selma. Gen eral Shelley, Capt. A. T. Goodwyn and a thousand others now living without re- gard to military rank. have it in their power to come to the aid of the State in great enterprise. Will they obey?
 The Department of Archives and His tory had Its origin in purpose to pre- pare this regimental history. and no further legislation is necessary to en- able 1t to receive and use all the facts that the old soldiers will send to It.
 North Carolina has done more in her five volumes for education in the first principles of free government than we can estimate Alabama cannot afford to do less.

pRrNcETON's TUToRIAL SYSTEM.
Fifty Instructors to Be Hired for Work
 of Coaching Delinquent Students.


 Princeton (N. J. Telegram.
 A new plan will be adopted by Princeton University and put into ex- ecution when the next college year be- gins in September. While there has been no public announcement of the scheme, the details are practically arr ranged. Fifty instructors will be en- gagged during the summer. They will be college graduates, and, so far as pos sible, they will be alumni of Princeton. It will be the duty of these instructors to take charge of students who fall be- hind in their studies.
 When a professor finds one of his class falling behind in his work and liable to fail at the next examindti on he informs one of the instructors. That official goes to the room of the laggard student and in a courteous manner in- forms him that he is going to take him in charge. The student Is to devote a certain time each day to the instructor. There will be no publicity whatever. The simple object in view will be 60 get the student back in line with his class and keep him in line. 90 that he will pass his examination properly.
 In this way 1t Is hoped to obviate one of the unfortunate expe riences that eX- ist in most of the large educational in stitutions of the country--the failure of so many students to pass their ex- aminations Those examinations must be passed In the fall or the student cannot continue his regular course. The result of all this failure has been the tutoring in private of scores of stu dents during the summer months. So extensive has this outside system of tutoring become that there have been summer schools established in the uni- versity towns where derelict scholars have been taught so that they could re- enter their classes in good form Tn tho autumn. Here in Princeton several of | these schools have made a good deal of money for the principals.
 Naturally objection has been made by both students and parents. The latter wanted to take their boys away with them in the warm weather, in the first place, and in the second place they found the expense very heavy. The boys strenuously objected to losing part of the long holiday period. Yet Ghis plan was necessary that the boy m t;ht graduate and the college discipline be maintained.
