young bloods among the ground hogs, who attempt to defy traditions.
 And this is what The Huntsville Mercury Banner has to say.
 The Montgomery Advertiser on Candlemas Day had a few words to say about the annual event of the ground hog and referred to the little weather prophet as myth. This raised the ire of The opelika Post that paper declaring the ground hog to be much in evidence.
 Next comes The Dothan Journal man who states that although he was mighty hunter" of varmints while boy yet he utterly failed to ever see or trap a ground hog. Yet he sig nifles his belief in their existence in some quarters.
 But neither of our contemporaries have said anything enough to shake the faith of The Advertiser man in his mythical idea, and there is where The Mercury Banner comes to the rescue with the goods in hand to settle the question. We have in this office a real live. healthy specimen of the ground hog genius caught just after hibernating during the winter and just before he was able to "scoot back to his hole under the rocks of honle caHo dIter seeing ms shado& on the second day of the month. That disposes of the myth" part of the animals existence.
 How long our ground hog will live in his enforced captivity in the con fines of an editorial sanctum and what best to feed him with are Ques- tions on which we should like to be advised. Whether he is carniverous in dietotic castes or a vegetarian or both we would be pleased to be fully in formed. Who knows?

 The savage instinct in men to fight still predominates in the human breast. and on such occasions differences are only adjusted by an appeal to arms.

 Then, I say to the merchants of Montg for ffty-one weeks our young military men grind in your mills, spending in the enhancement of your fortunes the best brain, nerve and brawn they have.

take look at the picture, won't you?
 He possesses an alias, and perh aps some of you will know him better by his pseudonym of wood chuck. For woodchuck he is, though there is not s self-respecting ground hog of Dixie who wi,i --not take up arms to resent The name.
 For, as all the world knows, there was a great breach between the fami- lies north and south, at the same time when the human beings of America divided themselves at the Mason and Dixon line for a big civil war away back wonder in the eos. And with the woodchucks and ground hogs there has been no reconciliation as there has been among the two-legged folks. So don't whatever you do, breath the fact in the hearing of your ground hog that he is kin to the fami- ly of old man Woodchuck.
 Alabama proudly claims many of the hog families of the old line. Since Hong years ago these scions of the first families" have upheld the tradi- tions of their race, have held a grand ievee each recurring February 2, just as Santa Claus comes on Christmas Eve night with his pack and his sleigh.

And Incidentally the "Ground- Hog Reporter on The Advertiser writes
 Learned Dissertation on :, the Ground-Hog-His Habits and His n t Family.

Inadvertently The Advertiser has pulled down about its ears all the ~rath of the orth odox. And tbe out burst came in defense of the ground hog.
 That little animal is one of the most popular known to biology. and now. from end to end of Alabama comes Indignant echoes when aspersions as Ao his infallibility or existence are sounded. And The Advertiser sub mits.
 There may be in its employ some lsupercillious journalist who, with 1conociastic enlightenment deems 1t expedIent to defy traditions. But in the face of the defense of the ground hog. and especially in the face of the material evidence of its existence, as embodied in the picture above which came from the Huntsville Mercury Banner the blaze young man has been suppressed for all time.
 The ground-hog exists by large majority. A reference to Webster's Unabridged brings forth a description of the little rodent, with his pedigree and nationality Prominent in the blue- book of natural history the ground hog takes his place aristocratic and redolent of caste. And to the man who is skeptical, well-say, unbeliever.

A speech in criticism of the sh ort- sighted policy of business men in dis charging clerks for belonging to mili- tary companies was delivered by Cap tain E. II. Jackson of the Montgomery Greys, at the Montgomery True Blues banquet Monday night.
 The speech which won approval and praise was as follows:
 The conception that, in order to make a soldier, it is only necessary to put d uniform on man and place gun in his hands. thus producing an officer capable of caring for and controlling the men who have been placed under his command. Is an exploded fallacy.
 Training and experience are lmper- ative elements of the development of a capable soldier. as much so as the making of a successful business or professional man.
 The impulses that actuate our young men to enlist as privates ln our State militia in times of peace, holding them selves in readiness to defend thei~ country in times of war, are as com mendable as any motive that ever i'm peIled patriot to action
 The standing army alone is totally inadequate to defend our nation from the enslaughts of foreigners, hence in the citizen -soldlery is reposed the in yincible bulwark of national defense.
 The province 0f the State militia is to execute the laws, suppress insurrec tions and repcl ipvasions
 Short-sighted. indeed. is a business man, enjoying boundless commercial prosperity. who cannot see that his ifortune would take swift wings in times of strikes or other internal dis turbances which are now held in abeyance by the State militia. and yet be 1t said, to their want of judgment. their lack of patriotism and to their inordiuate greed. that many of our ibusiness men discharge their clerks wh en they are required by law to as semble at military encampments in or der that they may be trained In the arts of successful warfare.
 AbolisA this State militia and there stands out constant invitation to the great black horde in Alabama to rise up and cause rule of desolation and desaair in our fair and matchless EtatA.
 The State militia furnishes the nu- cleus of a great army in times of war by being able to supply trained mlli- tary men to drill volunteers

gularly each year. on Candlemas morn the dignified old aristocrats will full fill their duty, only to find that there is an eyer-growing disbelief because the abandoned young dissoiutes who bear his name will persist in breaking all statutes of ground hog-dom, and making an appearance on the wrong day
 Have you a ground hog, or are you Intimate with one of the historic fam lily? Then you can tell. If yours sneaks out before February 2, or if he remains slothfully snoozing long after Candlemas, then disown him; he Is not worthy of the name.
 But If with the break of Candlemas dawn he issues from his bed, with the air of responsibility of pholding the tradition of his line. then rejoice. For then you are in the presence of one of the first families" then you can claim acquaintance with one of the aristocrats.
 There are some benighted humans who are unfamiliar with the pedigree of the ground hog. as witness the journalist who arrogantly asks if the almost -sainted animal exists. The ground hog, good people, is of German extraction. Back, far back in the dim ages of barbarism the ground hog laid claims of relationship with the best of the Teutons.t The old kings whom Caesar slew, shed their blood about the homes of the first ground hogs.
 Even then the Teuton knew and re- vered the little animal. and when the great trek for the new world began, they transferred this reverence to America. And here it still exists, des- pite the fact that many have become six optics because of the behavior of the

THWING WANTS TO SEE WAC.
Treasury Clerk Wrathy Over Mar
rage Notice in New York Paper.

Charles Thwing of this city, a clerk in
the Treasury Department, Is reported from
New York to be indignant over the action
of some person to him unknown who in
serted in a. New York newspaper a mar
riage notice alleging that Mrs. Thwing.
recently welded by him. had been married
last year to Joseph Newell Spier of New
York. Mrs. Thwing, formerly Carrie Lee
VERIFY of Richmond, Va, asserts that she
was never married before her union with
Mr.. Thwing.
The marriage of Miss VERIFY and Mr.
Thwing was celebrated last Saturday in
the Little Church Around the Corner
New York. When the marriage license
was procured Miss VERIFY said she was a
spinster. She entered an indignant denial
of the story that she was a widow when
she entered the state of matrimony with
Mr. Thwing.
The bridegroom said he had arranged
for honeymoon trip to the Adirondacks.
but he would postpone the matter II he
could lay hands upon the person who in
serted the marriage notice in the New
York newspaper that his wife was mar
ried in 1908.
Word comes from Mrs. Thwing's home
at Richmond that Mrs. Jane VERIFY,
mother of the bride, denies that her
daughter was married to Spier. She ex-
plains that Spier had paid attentions to
her daughter. but she had never heard
of their alleged marriage until she saw
the publication in the New York paper
She adds that Miss Yerby's marriage to
Mr. Thwing was at the request of his
first wife who was an intimate friend of

confer with the District Commissioners
with view to the more rigid enforce
ment of the laws concerning motor boats
on the Potomac. Complaint has been
made that lights are not carried on many
of these boats after sunset, TO the risk
of those on board, and of those on canoes
and other boats. The collector of
customs has no launch. but he has been
instruct ed to ask for the cooperation of

side lights cannot be fixed. they must
be kept lighted and ready for use as
provided by article q of the act of June

UNION OF COLONIES.
Negotiations Pending in Londor
Regarding South Africa.
cgram TO The Star.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, August 9.-The conferences
between the South African delegates and
the Earl of Crewe at the foreign office
have ended the preliminary negotiations
with regard to the bill for the closer
union of the South African colonies. The
negotiations were of the most amicable
character. To certain of the colonial sec
retary's suggestions the delegates were
unable to agree. on the ground that they
affected the principles of the bill. The
chief suggestions which were actually
adopted as amendments in the bill were
as follows:
The name of the United South African
Colonies is to be The Union of South
Africa"
Matters specially or differentially affect
ing Asiastics are to be under the control
of the governor general in council, and
not under that of the provincial councils.
This is an important addition. as it is
of the action of local authorities that the
Indians in South Africa chiefly complain
The contribution to the cost of the pro-
tactcrate defenses has been put on a fair
and equitable basis.
There are other amendments, but they
are merely verbal alterations. or refer to
matters too technical to be of general
interest.
