cuRlY-HEADED MEN AS JURORS.
Lawyers Dislike Them Because They
Are Net Easily Convinced

II IS not generally known that there
is 4 well-Je1ined prejudice against
curly haired men when it comes 10
choosing a jury 70 try criminal eases.
SAYS the New Orleans Tines Democrat
The prejudice. when It is manifested
comes from the defense. When asked
to explain the objection TO curly-haired
men. a prominent practitioner said:
when 1 was Just starting my legal
mentor incuseased that idea to me. He
said that early-haired meu had almost
invariably been the pampered darsiRgs
of their parents and in their youth had
been 50 used TO having their own way
that they had come to believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves In this way the seeds IF opp0-
sifion were Sown. and when they grow
cider they make = point 10 disagree with
everybody and everything. If every
body else on the jury votes for aequistal
they vote for conviction as matter Of
course. They live on combat and are
as stubborn as the days are long 4
curly haired man never gets on jury

MsCord's Regime ont.

Following is a report made by
Col. F. d. Baldwin, of the Inspect
ing Bureau of the War department
on the Territorial regiment, now
stationed at Albany, Ga.
"First Territorial U. S. Infantry.
Col. Myron HI. McCord, com.
manding.
This regiment should be equip,
ped with the best arms in existence,
as it's ranks are recruited from the
truly western country, where every
man is an excellent shot, and per,
fectly familiar with fire arms. As
a regiment, the rank and file is
composed of tho finest body of
men | have found in the volunteer
organization. Generally speaking,
the officers are attentive to their
duties, and show in marked de.
gree a desire to perform them. I
consider this regiment with few
exceptions noted, which are OF
small moment, ready Tor held
service.
The transportation of this regi,
ment is in excellent condition and
all supplies under cover. All sinks
are clean and wholesome; hospital
in good shape, good tentags and
full number of hospital stewards
and attendants in attendance.
Surgeon reports little sickness,
and only four deaths since the or,
ganization of the regiment, nearly
five months since, which is a most
remarkable record and speaks vol
umes for the robustness Of the men
and the care and vigilance of the
officers"

WHEN the present district at

the prosecution of all the cases be.
fore lie district court without as
sistance. The board evidently be-
Iie7ed this would be the case, yet
almost in the beginning of the term
o. court the grand jury asks for the
appointment of a deputy district
attorney f@ the present term Of
court. This of course means al
extra expense to the county, and
the cases seem to be no more diff
