YOUNG MEN ANp MARRIAoE.

A young man meets a pretty face
in the ball room, falls in love with
il, courts ii, marries 1t, goes to
housekeeping with il and boasts Of
having home and a wife to grace
il. The chances are nine TO ten
that he has neither. He has been
"taken IN and done for I" Her
pretty face gets to be and old story
or becomes faded or freckled or
fretted. and as the face was all he
wanted. all he paid attention to, all
he sat up with, all he bargained for,
all he svore to love, honor an pro-
tect, he gets sick OF his trade, knows
OF a dozen pretty faces he likes bet
ter. gives up staying at home even =
ings consoles himself with cigars
and politics and looks upon his
home as very indifferent boarding
house.
Another young man becomes en-
amored of fortune. He waits
upon il TO parties, dances a polka
with it. exchanges "billet doux"
with it, pops the question to il. gets
accepted by il. takes it to parson,
weds it, calls il "wife." carries it
home, sets up an establishment with

he now shows, her pathway would
have been far brighter and in her
life a ray OF sunshine. not that her

knowledge indisputable that her
efforts we're appreciated. A hungry
heart. which is destined never to be
fed. is one OF the saddest spectacles
ever witnessed in this world OF ours.
II you have a word Of praise to be-
stow on your wife-if II is due, be-

dead. and be forced thru binding
tears to tell your heart in its wild

life by sitting thoughts and keeping
back words that would have brought
a flush Of pleasure 10 her cheeks,
old as she is. and set her heart TO
dancing with pleasure only known

hearts fed by words of praise and
recommendation.

less great care is taken to dress
warmly and keep the feet dry. This
is the advice of an old eminent au-
thority, who says that Rheumatism
and kidney trouble weather is here,
and also tells what to do in case OF
an attack.

wholly all considerations OF wealth,
beauty, external accomplishments,
fashions, connections in society, and
every other mere selfish and worldly
end and look in to the mind and
heart OF thu woman he thinks of
marrying. II he cannot love her
for herself alone-that is for all
that goes to make up her character
as a woman--let him disregard
every external irducement, and shun
marriage with her as the greatest
evil 10 which he could be subjected.
And if he has in him a spark of
virtuous feeling,-if he has one I'M
selfish and generous emotion-he
will shun such marriage for the
woman's sake also, for il would be
sacrificing her happiness as we'll as
his own.
Every member of a community
and especially every parent should
take a deep interest in the public
school. 1t is not enough to pay
your school tax without complaining,
OF to know that the teachers are not
qualified, nor is il even enough to
keep your children in school regular
ly. If you are really interested in
the subject as you should be, you
should visit the school regularly and
persistently. Few people have any
idea what an incentive il is to both
teacher and scholar to know that
parents and outsiders are taking a
lively interest in their work. We
believe the "little folks" at school
appreciate such interest more per-
haps than the larger ones. Still the
effect is not lost on any OF them.
and We hope every parent will take
a hint from this and place the public
school on their visiting list.
Poverty is uncomfortable, but nine

INCOMPLETE RETURNS.


 More than half a dozen Alabama weekly papers. during last week made complaint of the fault or omission of the Alabama election law which does not compel immediate and public re. turns of the results at the various boxes during a State election. The Sell ma Jouranl in an article reproduced in another column of The Advertiser rises to make the same complaint.
 This has some bearing on The Ad- vertiser's mild criticism of the Ala bama weekly press for not publishing full returns. As a matter of fact all the results of the election of November 6th. in Alabama are not yet known. The Sta:e today does not know the vote on any candidate or any propo- sition that was on the ticket of Mo- vember 9th. Some of the counties have not yet sent in returns. These coun- ties, however. are not suspected of be- ing guilty of anything worse than neg lect.
 But there were delayed boxes in many of the counties. In the minds of the public there is always suspicion. bearing upon "a delayed box.' We have come Into a day of fairer and better elections, wo have come into a day of purified ballot, but the public still suspects the delayed box" as much as it ever did. Too many cleo tions have been decided in Alabama by delayed box"
 Under the circumstances 1t IS not surprising that some of the papers which favored the new county amend ment have begun to murnUr. saying that the vote in the counties which would have been affected if the amend ment had carried was unprecedently large and wondering why some big beats and some counties were so slow in reporting. There has been nothing revealed to throw doubt upon tho re- suit and the suspicion. voiced by these papers is probably unjust.
 But the safest plan is to amend the election law so that there will be a short time limit for the return of the box to the county seat and providing that there shall be on the outside un- official returns signed by the managers for the public. We are becoming too enlightened for delayed boxes"

chnnre of ownership.

Rullock County Breeze.
 Hon. Albert F. Smith. of Yellow Pine Ala. has closed a deal with J. C. Lawrence whereby he becomes owner of The Bullock County Breeze.
 MT. Smith. for several years, eoited and published the daily and weekly Sentinel of Lincoln, Fl. Later he es- tablished and published The State Sen tInel at Decatur, III. He Is a prohlhl- lion Democrat. and came to Alabama ten years ago for his health. locating at Yellow Pine, sixty miles above Mo. bile. He has son on the reportorlai staff of The Mobile Register.
 After several years rest and recup- eration he has decided to again enter journalism, and after visiting Union Snrinzs a few weeks ago he decided to locate here in preference of several other places wheer openings were of fered him. He was much pleased with Union Springs. and we have assured him that the people here will accord him A cordial welcome.
 This change In ownership does not in any way effect Mir. Fuckers lease of the property or purchase option, and he will continue in charge until such time as he and Mir. Smith see fit to make other arrangements.
 Mir. Smith expects to. come to Union Springs in a few weeks to get ac- auainted with the people and his new field of labor.

which remained undiscovered because those sections. unlike Houston county. had no vigilant sentinel on the watch tower. This was nothing more nor less than shrewd attempt on the part of the Alabama Republican leaders to use the rural mail carriers not only as distributors of Republican literature. but as personal evangelists for the cause of Taft. 4 few weak-kr eed Dem. ocrats who were filling carriers jobs fell into the scheme and went about disseminating political transformation.
 Editor Hall sharpened his pencil and revealed the plan of the Republicans and the work of their tools. The car- riers. it Is said, threatened to hang The Eagle in the persimmon bushes instead of showing them in the tin boxes, and Editor Hall dehed them to do their worst. He kept up that fight until the people walked up. The Democratic lines were unbroken and the Republicans got small comforts
 In his post election editorials Editor Hall appears as brushing the dirt off his clothes, reaching for his coat and saying:
 "1f you fellows stick up your head I'll give you another licking"

AN uNusuAL coNpIr1oN.

A somewhat curious suffrage condi- tion exists in Leavenworth county, Kansas, to which The Leavenworth Post thus refers:
 Every fair minded man. no matter Tsst his pot'Tf ot right may for the % veterans who live at the Soldiers Home to vote on local Issues in Leavenworth coun- ty The land and building lts at .ne ment of about two million dollars. ana not one cent of taxes Is paid on all of that prSpeTty The spa ofiiesrs ssrsr nave nars riages, and some of the men at the Home are rich and have money loaned out and yet not one cent of taxes Is sonai property. And yet it Is the vote of the men who live at the Soldiers Home that elects the officers for Leav-
 There are now $500 inmates of this home who. as The Post explains. are not taxpayers, and are not actually citizens of the county, yet they are able to control the county at an election. A recent instance was that of candidate for county commissioner who was so unpopular that he only received five hundred votes from the tax-payers of the entire county but was elected by the votes of the inmates of the home, who really have no interest in the management of the county's affairs, and should not. as we view the matter, be allowed to control the elections, as they plainly did in at least one in- stance.
 There is no politics In this matter, so far as we are informed. The inmates of this home are not only from all parts of Kansas. but from various oth. CT States, ana it plainly seems incon- sistent and unjust that they should vote and control the local affairs of the county in which they arc only guests. in one sense of the word. It would hardly be just or right for these old soldiers to be deprived of the right to vote on national issues. and we sup pose 1t might be so arranged that they could thus vote. but 1t can hardly be considered justifabie that they be al- lowed to control the local affairs of Leavenworth county.

ing" for full week before we can know these things.
 Ifitis because we do not pay enough to get men to look after the election returns. then we are in favor of pay ing more for the purpose of conducting our elections If we have to pay it by additional taxation The state of Ala bama has as good. election laws as can be found in this country concerning who shall and shall not vote. but our great and good State has veritable ante-bellum system of returns. All over the nation we know for several days what has taken place In the elec- tions but not so In our Alabama The name of Alabama signifies here we rest" and we suppose that when the laws creating this election system were made. that the makers thereof thought we should rest at least full week be- fore knowng what an election had done for us. Unofticial figures are inaccurate and we hope that some day in the fu- ture we may be able to do like other states-know in reasonably short time reliable election results.
