He PaiG for All.

The English custom of free seats
and collection plates in church Is puz-
zling the continental visitors. In
Roman Catholic countries it is usual
to make a small payment on entering
a church. A Frenchman on visit to
Manchester not long ago, according
to the Guardian, attended service in
one Of the parish churches. With him
was a party of English friends. The
foreigner was seated at the outer end
of the pew. The plate came round in
due course, and the visitor was the
first to deposit coin In 1t. The col.
lector was about to pass the plate to
his English friends when the French
man interposed "Ah, no. have paid
for all the seats"

The pitiable story of poor soldier lad who died in prison of fever pre- cipitated by the joy of knowing that he was to be released. Is the narrative in @ letter that Lawrence Decatur Davis of Brick, Beckham County, Oklahoma, has written to The Advertiser in the hope that some kinsmen of the youth whose life was ended in the Elmira prison in the winter of '64-'65 may know just how he came to die.
 MT. Davis says that the boys name was unknown to him; he was merely called "Befl;" put he calls him "the youngest of the Trojans." and the most gods of War, as of Fate, that all that called Bill and that he was a native of Alabama. But that Mir. Davis and his comrades must have loved their young companion Is evident from the letter. A copy of the narrative con- tained in it follows:
 "A Reminiseence of Prison Life.S
 During the winter of '64-'65, there belonged to my ward (No. 6) in the Elmira prison, youth just l5 years old whose surname was Bell" some where from the State Of Alabama. His given name I fail to remember, and also his locality Being so young and handsome besides his sweet disposi- tion rendered him q universal favorite.

ORDERS ISSUED FOR SUMMER EN- CAMPMENTs.
Three Regiments of Infantry Go Into Camp July 23, While Artillery and Cavalry Pitch Tents
 In Montgomery.

Formal orders were issued yesterday at the direction Of the Governor from the office of Adjutant- General Bibb Graves for the encampment of the in fantry and the cavalry arms or the Alabama National Guard.
 Three regiments of infantry. the squadron of cavalry. and the Mont gomery and Birmingham batteries of artillery, are to go in encampment this month.

 The indications are that the men who will 20 to Chattanooga will surpass any previous brigade of the Alabama National Guard in discipline, numbers and equipment. It is known that the equipment will be the most modern that inc Alabama militiamen has ever had. Assurances have come to AdtutantGen- erai Blob Graves that all the equipment necessary will be furnished the corn- panies of infantry. the batteries of arr fiIlery and the squadrons of cavalry.

CALL FOR PRACTICE TO TEST TOBACCO
BREwTON TOBACCO GROWERS TO
 KNOW DEFINITELY.
Experts Will Submit Samples Of a3reyy- ton Tobacco to Manufacturers to
 Find Out Trade Value.

Brewton tobacco experimenters. it Is believed, will be taken off their anxious pegs in as short time as pos- sible. That is the view of the State Department of Agriculture at Washing ton.
 Hon. J. A. Wilkinson, State cornfnis- sioner. has Just received notice from A. D. Shamel, at the head of the tobac- co department of the Agricultural Bu- reau in Washington, that an expert will be sent in few days to Brewton. This may be done before August 1. An ef- fort will be made to prevent a delay beyond that period. The same expert will in all probability go to Marion or Perry county to look at the tobacco growing there.
 The men behind the experiment near Brewton are being congratulated on the undoubted success of the Sumatra leaf being grown luxurtantly in those parts. They are aware that the tex lures of the plant and all other appear ances point to marketable product that should bring good prices for cigar wrapping purposes. What is not want ed is positive proof that the product is going to be go with the consum- CTS. It is this which will particularly interest the expert from Washington.
 The tobacco department of the Wash ington Bureau is conversant with eve- ry detail of all tobacco grown in the United States. The attaches are re- quired to find out not alone the man. ner of growth and the nature of the soil for the varieties but in the cases of experiments they pursue the weed right up to the market. In the case of Brewton as in all others the experts will gather in about 75 pounds of the leaves, put them through their own steaming process, carefully prepare the product for the market, and then march to Philadelphia or New York. There the article will be thrown direct be- fore the manufacturer and asked what he will give for it.
 And 1t will be pretty certain" said Mir. Shamel while in Montgomery, that we will take the word of the manu- facturer in need of the tobacco in pref erence to what may be said about Es- cambia county tobacco by the growers of Quincey, Fla. They will pay no heed to what the growers in any other State may say about it. The leaf will stand on it's own merits. Ut should not be long before one knows what is the value of the tobacco grown so abundantly at Brewton."
 refuge from Kentucky remarked yesterday that the best way to tell whether the tobacco Is the stuff' is to bring a night rider to this region and see if he thrives.
