 Personal Mention.
 Col R. B. du Mont. commanding the lst infantry, was here on Friday at- tending the officers meeting. He has pleasant recollections of his camp in Montgomery, at Pickett Springs. in 1905, and wants to come back His wishes will be respected. and his regi- ment will, in all probability. be the only one to come here. The 1sf made most favorable impression here on Its last visit and will be welcomed this year. Colonel du Mont is enthusiastic over the prospects for a rife range at Mobile, and hopes soon to have the boys shooting, having secured an ex. cellent site.
 Col. W. H. McKleroy, the command ing officer of the 3rd, was here last week. He things his regiment will go to Birmingham this year. He reports a rifle range at Anniston. practically completed and shooting already begun.
 Col C. R. Bricken of the 2nd regi- ment and Major B. F.. Noble of the cavalry squadron, both reside here and yet they favor Selma fo rthe camp of their organizations. They camped there last year and both were pleased with the result.
 The grounds at Selma are well adapted to the purposes of the camp. and they get concessions there that they can hardly get elsewhere, and the location Is central for their organi- ga sfcns.

Rifle PrnctIce Nnten.

The National Rifle Practice Associa- tion. after careful consideration of the situation appertaining to the hold ing of an intercollegiate trophy, has decided that the time Is not yet ripe for the holding of such contest, with credit to the Association and the Col leges There Is a shortage of range facilities and consequent lack of prac- tice; hence not enough interest is be- ing taken in the contest by the col leges themselves. Rather than make a failure of such competition this year. 1t has been decided to postpone the match until 1908 By next year rifle shooting will have been more gener- ally promoted among the universities and colleges and more interest will likely be taken in such contest.
 So much discussion has been had over the relative efficiency of the .3S apd the .45 calibre revolver which has been apparently finally decided in favor of the larger calibre, that it Is inter- esting to note the War Department recently declined to favorably con slider device for causing the .3S calibre bullet to mushroom, thereby increasing it's stopping power. To pistols three troops of cavalry will be armed with the Colt, automatic and three with the Savage. These auto matic pistols will be subjected to the same uuse as the Colt double action now used by the cavalry. The Iues- tion at issue is whether the double action or the automatic revolver is the best military arm, The practical test will last year.
 Major David c. Shanks, 4th infantry. will captain the infantry team. and Capt. William H. Hay, 10th cavalry, will have charge of the cavalry team in the coming national mtches. Lieu tennt- Colonel R. K. Evans will be ex- ecutivs officer of the national matches

Death of Ex-senatOr CnQery,

New OfIeanS flCayune!
 The death in this city last evcnin s of Hen. DcnelsGn Catfery. late a Unit ed States Senator for the State of Lou fsiana, and Gns of It's most eminent and highly esteemed citizens, will ere ate widespread mourning. as 1t has net only wrought a great bereavement upon ali who knew and loved him, but has inflicted a serious loss uvCn the State.
 MT. Cafrery was born in the Parish Of St. Mary, in this State, in 1885, and except when absent at St. Mary's Col lege, Maryland, where he was educated, and in deferae of his State in the Con federate Army. or during his public service at the National Capital, he has always resided there. pursuing his pro- fession as a lawyer and supertntendine the operations of his sugar plantation
 In his early manhood, when the war storm was rising in the South's hori- zon, MT. Gallery went to the front in the 18th Louisiana Regiment, in which he distinguished himself, and attract ing the attention Ct his superiors, be- came an officer on the stan of Gen. w. he returned to his plantation, becom- Ing a prominent member of the com. munity in which he lived.
 He was elected to the State Constf- tuti'nal Convention of l5i3. called soon after the people of Louisiana had wrest- ed control of their State from the car pet-baggers and negroes. and assisted to rehabilitate the State afterlthe deg radiation into which she had been plunged by the unworthy horde which had used her only for purposes of plunder and personal aggrandizement In 1893, having been appointed to the uneXpired term of General Randall Lee Gibson, deceased. he was subsequently, electe1 to the Senate for ssrvice end ing March 4. 1901.
 It is doubtful if any man in Ameri- can political life in recent years had more of the courage of his convictions, or was more fixed and determined in his political principles than was MT. Canery. This was seen in his devotion to the doctrine which cost him his seat in the Senate. When Hon. William J Bryan launched his free silver" scheme 1t ran like fire in pine forest and overwhelmed the Southern Demo- crats, who accepted 1t as a new gospel of finance

BETTER PAY YOUR POLL TAX.

Start the New Year right. Those of you who have failed to pay your poll tax should hunt up the tax collector st once. If you don't pay on or before February 1st you are adding to the amount you will have to pay before you can vote. The same question is before the people of Texas and The Dallas News in discussing it well says:
 It is in the first place your duty to contribute this much to the publis school fund. Every man included in the statutory provision should help this little. Even as small a sum as a polI tax is auite sufficient to remind cne that he is 'stockholder in the won- derful propcrty and privileges we en- joy. and it gives him & cleRrcr right 10 demand better schools and better public service in all lines. But even
 By paving your poll tax you en- courage others to do the same thing. It will be very much in order if you ment a timely word of advice that may lead others to Ro to the polls and do likewise. Experience proves that 1t will be necessary for you to do this if we dency to cut down the number Of qual. flied voters in the State. The falling off is alarming.
 During the year 1907 there are going to be some grave public questions for the people to settle. Some of these may be of local nature. but they are real ly all the more important on that ac. count. All we have to~say in that re- gard Is to express the hope that the people will not sleep. and lose their right to vote while the men inter ested. first of all. in the spoils and the Rangsmen whom they control are talk /. ing out their certificates and prepar- ing to run 1t over the very element oa whose activity and assistance good government must be left to depend. s This warning is designed for the hon. est and conscientious voters of the State, whatever their views and desires may be. Unless these provi1e themsel- ves with poll tax receipts, workers for Jefficient and faithful public service win necessarily be handicapped and defeat- ed in their efforts. There is at this point a great political and moral re- sponsibility resting upon every friend of honest government, Pay your poll tax.

With all its loyalty to Republican principles and doctrines the Portland oregonian gagsat the ship-subsidy proposition. Referring to the standing of the bill now before Congress it re- marks that with so much dissension, a AeadIccked committee. postponemcnt until January, lack of public support and other unfavorable symptoms, it now seems highly probable that tine present subsidy bill will fill the same kind of dishonored grave that has closed ever so many of it's predecessors. The only thing that can save 1t from such q fate is good, strong messaqe from tue President, and even the effect of this would be to a considerable degree nuf- lifted by the apathetic allusion made in his last message to Congress" We are not so sure that his allusion to the bill in his message can properly he called apathetic. He said there that the pres ent bill "Is as nearly unobjectionable as any bill can be-" and that sounds very much like approval It Is plain, however, that the Oregonian cannot stand fer this latest attempt to loot the Treasury.

Senator Hale's Warning.

Washington HeralG.
 Senator Hale injected into the run ming debate in the Senate a few days before Congress treated itself to a re- cess for the holidays, a statement that ought to make every citizen of the country put on his thinking cap and give close inquiry into the conduct of his government. Two thirds of the revenues of this country declared Sen. ator Hale, are devoted to the burdens Of past wars and preparations for fu- ture wars
 Stated in round numbers, the expen- ses of the Federal government are an count of military expenses Is, accord ing to Senator Hale, $500, ,0O9, ,00O. Mir Hale is a member of the Committee on Appropriations, and in the frequent and son Is Chairman of that great commit tee He is Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, and a member of the Committee on Finance, and a member of the Philippines Committee. Aside from his natural aptitude for governmental affairs, his long experience in Congress and his committee positions have given him exceptional opportunities to &C., quaint himself thoroughly with the most important subjects of legislation and administration. He does not make g9ekesa gSsEmis NoF s he as IS pSt statesman. When he states that two- thirds of the taxes paid by the govern ment are devoted to the payment of mlIlIdTy SAPCHS0Sy ne IODQ for very serious thought. Europe is an armed camp, but the military expenses of no naHon in Europe approximate those of the United States. In very truth, no European country could stand such a burden. Our army is a mere nucleus compared with the armies of every continental power in Europe. Our navy ranks fourth or fifth among the payers of the United States contribute annually from their earnings millions more to meet our military expenses than are contributed by the tax-pay- CTS of Europe for a like pATpoae.
 We are at peace with the world. We have no schemes Of conquest. Our ad- venture into colonialisW is being used as a prctext by Eurcp pean chancellor" ios to place us in that list of nations that look with coyetous eyes upon the possessions of others. But we have tory that Is alien domain. No na- ton is preparing to attack us. We arc not unmlndful of the frequenl war scares" that are started. but We ob- usually about the time the lawmakers are to assemble to prepare the annual budgets. The Japanese war scare is 8 case in point year or two ago it was Germany that was threatening us somewhere. and over mething that was not even as distinct or concrete as the vague excuse presented for a pos sible war with Japan. These wild the holders of the nations purso strings, and all that is asked for mili- tary expense is promptly granted. Occa- sionally voice like that of Senator Hale is raised In protest. .but 1t avails nothing.
 Under such condition as this there can be no hope for reduction Of the increasing burdens of taxation on the people Nobody understands this better than the tarif standpatter If our military expenses were reduced, the Aar q. revenues raised by high tariffs were not needed and the movement for re- vision would not be vonfined to groups of persons not in oflce.

Sc far as Montgomery weather had anything to do with it it would be diff ticult for new year to make a moro thoroughly ideal entrance than was done by young 1907. The day was, to use poetic phrase, idyllic, and to use plain English was just about perfect. It was neither too cold nor too warm for comfort. and the blue sky and bright sunshine were a temptation to get out doors that was hard to resist. We hope the beautiful advent of the young year was hamburger of a good twelve months for Montgomery and Montgomery people If there's any thing in gocd beginning we may feel satisfied at the way 1907 came on us.

The Gadsden Times News says:

The poll tax payers are decreasing each year. The population of this county is rapidly increasing, but we are certainly drifting into the hands of a voting aristocracy." We don't agree to the report that the number of poll tax payers is getting less, bu, certainly it is a shame when one half of those who are liable fall to pay up and be real freemen. There are many local elections to be held this year and those who are delinquent Febru- ary 1st will not be allowed to vote. What can the young men and older men too in the different municipalities of Alabama be thinking of when they thus ignore their duty and fail to as- sert their rights.
