The Rife Ranre.

The promise was made by the Mont gomery Traction Company that a rife range would be built in the Holt flat at Cypress Pond last summer: in fact, temporary range was built, but since camp 1t has been abandoned. The target frames have been torn down and the place posted to keep off intrud- CTS. This Is very unfortunate, for it was hoped that there was to be a range here where the local and visiting guardsmen could practice and learn ho wto handle and shoot the Krag rife, so essential to its efficient handling and shooting, but 1t looks now as though the prospects of a range were more remote than they were before camp. The site of the old range could be easily opened by the clearing out the undergrowth and with the elevation of the lines of the Montgomery Light and Power Company there would be one of the best ranges in the State, absolutely safe and answering every requirement. Interest seems to have Jagged in the movement and I hope the local com panies will take 1t up and see if the street railway cannst be persuaded to open the range and keep it in order. There is nothing that can be done that would be of more lasting benefit to the guardsrnen of this section than to have a range for practice.

Vacancy in the Third.

There is but one vacancy in the Ala bama National Guard at this time and that is in the 3rd Regiment: caused by the mastering out of the Bessemer Company, which was lettered H. There are quite a number of applications al- ready to fill tke vacancy and it was understood at one time that Ensley was to have the place.
 An organization was formed there and named The Cunningham Guards, but the steps necessary to it's admission into the regular organization of the State have never been taken. A formal application having been filed. It is said that there were over fifty names on the first roll and that the material Is ample for a most efficient organization at Ensiey.
 While Lieutenant Governor Cunning ham was acting Governor he promised to admit them. but for some reason the movement hung fire, and has never been taken up again. It Is not now known that such an organization is desired there, as the enthusiasm seems to have died out.

War Department Estimates.

While It Is true that the estimates of the War Department for 1906-07 will contain no provision for joint maneu- vers of regulars and National Guard there being a difference of opinion in the general stan and in other quarters in regard to the value of these exer- cises, 1t is known that the President emphatically favors them. He thinks under conditions approximating those of practical warfare of the regular army and the militia that they are most beneficial. The wholesale move ment of troops at Newport News re- gently was given by the Presidents orders and it is thought that by an- other year he will restore the maneu- vers under different and more advan- tageous conditions.

I two-edged bayonet, sharp and wei, tempered, that in a hand -to-hand con- fiict could be used to advantage. In any kind of war that can be conceiy- ed of, troops are liable at times to be thrown Into close conflict, and then the
 battle will be to those who have the most formidable weapons The force of this theory has been fully recogniz- ed, hence the change of our bayonet.
 School for soIdiers.
 How many of the companies, troops and batteries have the school for the soldier. where instruction is given dare say. And yet there are some com manding officers who take great pride in these schools and who see that their men are given regular instruction once or twice a month. One of these most notable just now Is Captain D. H. Smith, of Company I. srd Regiment. Oxford, who has had prepared little pamphlet with full instructions and this book should be in the hands of every member of the Alabama National Guard. I do not know what steps Cap tain Smith has taken to have 1t pub- should secure 1t for their commands. 1t can be gotten at nominal cost and will be worth many times It's price in very short time Every soldier should know every word of the valua- ble information it contains.
 Competitive Drills.
 Up in Tennessee they have sharp competitive drills between rival or- ganizations of the National Guard and such things should be made frequent in Alabama Right here in Montgom- cry there are two of the crack military organizations of the State. the Greys and the Blues. Why don't they get up competitive drills occasionally? Prizes would be offered large enough and valuable enough to make such con- tests interesting and the street car companies would do the rest to make them worth the while. let alone the great value it would be in instruc- tion to the boys. This is given as a pointer. Why can't prize drill be gotten up next month. at one of the parks, that would not only attract home people but bring people from all the country. The companies adjacent to Montgomery could be in- vited and it could be made a great affair. What say you commanders Why can't you ldoy ma aN
 Why can't such an affair be made a great success?

We ask If wild oats he has sown,
And speak of ways that he should mend.

When to the problems of this life
He seems to have become awake,
And thinks of getting home and wife
What form then does our question take?
Our thoughts thus into speech will break

Sedately dignified and staid,

But into his affairs we wade
With "How much money has he made?'
Next as pillar of the State
At forty eight or fifty, say
We point to him the honors great

The war cry of the bitter fray
Is How much money will he pay?'

znapr0UznS Football.

Inopr0Uz7aS Football.
This seasons football games demonstrate that it
is possible to avoid those distressing accidents that
have characterized the games of previous years. The
reforms that have been agitated from time to time
are being needed. The intense zeal displayed in
capturing the laures is what leads the students to
become somewhat rougher than they should When
game hangs IN the balance, SO to speak, bodily in
jury weighs little compared to the prestige at stake
And who blame the sturdy students if at these
moments they forget themselves? To be sure they
should not far forget to MORALLY injure the
men whom, after the game is over they respect and
whose friendship they value beyond any result which
may accrue to the winner.
Football is conceded to be ideal outdoor
sport; and when the game is shorn of it's rough
ternals it will be safe to play game of checkers
No doubt within the next few years there will be
other safeguards adopted It is expecting too much
to suppose that the game will undergo radical changes
in day. It takes time for any movement to become
active, but in the Of time the rules governing
football will be so modified as to meet the approba-
ton of all.

distinguished frauds, nevertheless he is very sue
cessful one. When he arrived in this country of
many opportunities he possessed few worldly goods.
Even his reputation was none of the best. However
he had goodly amount of gall This was his only
stepping stone. What use he made of it, is now
history. If he had not an overabundance of gall
he would have Jared badly on his arrival. Long ere
this he would have been tried by an insanity board

ONE of the constantly increasing evils of the
present, is the cocaine and morphine habit Physi-
clans who are in position to know state that the
evil has almost doubled within the past decade. As
yet the drug beyond the reach of the poorer classes
but among those who can afford it, it's use is ncreas-
ing at an alarming rate. Young men who study
ing for the various professions and who have
brilliant future before them are becoming victims to-
this fearful and souldestroying drug At first they
merely wish to experimental find out what it is
like. One experiment follows another until they find
that they must have the dope" at any price. When
this the descent from responsibility to the
penitentiary resolves itself into question of time
No doubt but what threefou of the men
doing time in the various prisons were dope Gends
before their Imprisonment. Perhaps it was this
evil that indirectly helped to get them behind
the bars Considering that these drugs have such a
destroying influence on those addicted to their use
it would seem that some effort should be made to-
ward restricting it's sale.
The lives of the future lawmakers and statesmen
are of more consideration than the patry sum that
is derived from the sale of these drugs As long as
