Another Lynchinq Case in Court.

It Is very plain that St. Clair county wants no more iynching bees, for it has indicted a Jefferson county man on the charge that he assisted in the lynching of a negro in St. Clair coun. ty. The victim of this particular bee had, 1t is asserted, committed murder in Jefferson county at a point near Leeds. The prisoner now held by the authorities of Su. Clair has been in. dicted, and no doubt he will have a fair and impartial trial in the regular course of justice.
 Arrests of this nature should follow every lynchlng, but there will not be many arrests because there will not be many lynchings. Lynching bees are based on the error that they are heroic remedies that popular senti- ment will uphold to the extent of per sonal safety and Responsibility When the lyncher knows he must ex- plain to a court and a jury his acts as such, he will go out of the lynching business. He will find excitement and sport in some other channel. He will chase the festive fox or opossom.
 The man who assumes to be court, lawyer and jury in tnis State hereafter may expect to get dose of his own medicine. He must face the music, unless some county can be found in which pubic sentiment has become debased and cowed, and anarchy is in the saddle.

WHY IT HAS FADED.
The Partial obliteration of the Dec
 aration of Independence.

From the New York Tribune.
 q saw recently in the press dispatches from Washington said R. T. Smsthe of that city, Ian item to the effect that the original copy of the declaration of in- dependence was fading. The story is true in that the document Is fading. but not true in that this partial obliteration is of recent occurrence. Many years ago. in taking an impression of the declara- ton for the purpose of reproducing copies of 1t, an acid was used which had most disastrous effect upon the ink with which the paper was written. The writing began to fade rapidly-so rapid ly, indeed that in a short time 1t was with extreme difficulty that either the text of the instrument or the signatures to 1t could be deciphered. At this time the declaration hung upon the wall in the library of the Department of State. It was in wooden ease supplied with doors, but during the hours when the H. brary was open to the public the de- mands of the visitors caused the doors to be open also. The action of the light up- on the document was very hurtful, and in order to preserve it from further decay the Secretary of State caused a specially constructed safe to be manufactured for 1t.
 You must possess a strong pull today to obtain glimpse of 1t, for as the years pass the fading of the writing, while checked, nevertheless steadily continues. As a consequence the department of ficials guard It carefully and expose 1t to the light with extreme reluctance. The safe in which the declaration now rests is on the right of the entrance to the library, while on the left-hand wall hangs the case in which 1t was formerly kept. reproduction now takes it's place, but ninety-nine people out of every hun dred who visit the library depart after examining this copy, believing that they have seen the original. They have seen something, however, for below the large case is a smaller one containing a rough draft of the declaration in exactly the form In which Jefferson wrote it. This Is an original. but as acids have never touched 1t 1t has faded only little."

He Learned Too Much.

"I heard a good story once on hospi- tality," remarked a politician at the Morris lest night. T was in Washing there met a gentleman who represented one of the Southern districts of Geor- gia ir Congress. The gentleman was very much annoyed over the fact that he had just seen an announcement in one of the papers in his district that one of his friends intended to oppose him for Congress at the coming election. After calling my attention to this mo- tice he said this teaches him a lesson never to entertain a visiting friend again while in Washington. Just think of it, he continued this man who is op- posing me was here not more than two weeks ago, and I extended him every hospitality that could think of. took him in the restaurant and gave him his dinner, set him up to a bath gave him a boat ride on ths Potomac, and when he left he assured me that he would all ways remember my kindness. To my this gentleman's return to his home Is that he has announced for Congress and says that he cf n fill the job as well as l can. My observation is that when one's ,onstituerts visit him in Washing tor the lest way IS to be very formal at least that's the way l will be in the future"

TOO MUCH DESTRUCTION.
Citizen Complains Against City Hall
 Constructor Taking Up Space.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 A stranger visiting Birmingham for the first time and putting up at our best hotel, the Hillman, must form a very unsatisfactory estimate of our city--and first impre essions are lasting. What meets his. eye as he looks from bedroom win dows? What7 In the very heart of the city, on It's busiest thoroughfare. an un- gainiy fence built to the very middle of the road, blocking both sidewalk and months and months this most impor- tant street has thus been fenced In and made a lumbermans yard, a contract or's warehouse. Conceive of the main thoroughfare of a great city like New York thus blockaded and obstructed to the middle of the street! If the purpose was to avoid danger, why not build a shed over the pavement along the prem ises to protect passei sby frcm any fall ing material? The city hall Is not the only large building in tho course of con- struction in our city. Look at the new and handsome structure being erected by the Birmingham Trust and Savings com not block that street to the middle of the road for six to nine months? Did their contractors have less need for a lumber yard or a marble yard than do those who are building the city hall: Even now when the roof Is on, when large hotel has opened tc attract vis- itors to that part of the city, is this nuisance unabated? But this is not the worst feature.
 The writer saw only last Saturday evening a narrow escape from a serious accident of this state of affairs. A man walking on the small board provided for pedestrians turned aside to allow a lady coming from the opposite direction to pass and barely escaped being run over by passing str eet car.
 Will the powers that be explain the reason for removing the obstruction from the comparatively unused Fourth avenue side before they have made any attempt to remove the Instructions from the busy and important Nineteenth street side?
 Shall this nuisance remain unabated until some human life has been sacri- feed? Shall our main thoroughfare re- main fenced across forever? Should our city authorities have established such a tad precedent, which, if followed gener- ally, will render our streets entirely im- passible?
 Grass growing in the streets and cows grazing upon the public thorough. fare could not bespeak more surely and truthfully the rustic habits of this Southern village"
