And everywhere brought palm and woe.
A kind word followed It ono day,

And everywhere brought Joy and peace.
But yet the harsh word left trace

ALABAMA.


Tn the criminal court at Birmingham the
trial of Sallie Boyd, for murder, was an
episode of sensations. The big court
room was densely packed with spectators all
day, and many attorneys left their offices to
hear the testimony. Ben Smith, the girls
uncle, who confessed the murder soon after it
was committed, and implicated Miss Boyd,was
on the stand against the advice and protest of
his attorney. He insisted in repeating his
confession, which was in substance as follows:
81 had been acquainted with Salie Boyd
about three months, when Leslie was killed.
Never saw him but once on twice. / used to
60 to the house tive or three times u week. and
usually in the daytime. Sallie had strange
help doing what she told mo to do. i have q
good many times tried to pursuade her to leave
Leslie and go away with me, but she always
told me he must be put out of the way first, as
he would follow us. On the evening of the
shooting l went to Sallie Boyd's house, and
she told me she had things fixed to kill him.
She gave mo revolver with two loaded
chambers and told me to come back at night.
took the revolver, went home and reloaded
it. 1 went back to Sallie's house soon after
dark, and went around to the water closet in
the rear of the house. She met me
there, told me she would give me
the signal when all was ready
by throwing bucket of water out of the win
dow. l was to go around to the front door and
fix Leslie. l waited for some time, and finally
heard the signal. l immediately went around
and entered the house. / found Leslie lying
on the floor, and shot him through the head
twice. then went home. threw the pistol in
the well and went to bed.'
Miss Boyd and Leslie had been living to-
gether several years, and the latter was killed
in the manner described by Smith ON the night
Of the 10Th of last January. Miss Boyd is only
nineteen, and very pretty. Smith,. the con-
fessed murderer, is not yet twenty
The prisoner took the stand this evening
and protested her innocence, denying all
knowledge of the crime She declared that
the witness had been bribed to testify against
her, and she was being made the victim of
conspiracy.

ions could be made for their ed lcation
This is deporaby bad. but it can be%easily
RENE died If the board of education are
DESTROYS of furnishing facilities for the col

the building on the southwest corner of
Gwinuett and Montgomery streets, the Odd
Fellows building on Duffy and Burrough
streets, the hall on Montgomery street near
CASTOR street and several large houses in the
eastern section of the city. They could be
advantageously used until the new building
on East Broad street shall have been erected
If any class Of people in Savannah needs
the refining influences Of education, the col
ored cnlluren are the ones. lhey are anXH
ious to learn, aud that fact is capable of de-
monstration by the numbers who apply for
