LAURA JACKSON VIOLENT.
Woman, In Conducting Her Defense
 Becomes Unruly.

London, October 1S.-Today's feature in the trial of Theodore Jackson and Laura Jackson (Ann Odelia Diss DeBar), on charges of immortality and fraud, was the shrewdness the woman defendant displayed in cross examining the wit nesses. She was very theatrical and be- came so violent once that it seemed she would have to be removed from the court. This outbreak was caused by the imputation of a witness regarding the chastity of Mrs. Jackson.
 The examination of the mother of Daisy Adams, one of the alleged victims of the Jacksons developed the presence at Brighton of a sect of Christian Spiritual- ists at remarkable in its way as the Theocratic Union. The officers were en- titled King Solomon, Empress Of the Universe, the King Beriacha. Mrs. Jack son used this sect to secure introduction to her victims.
 After a girl named Laura Faulkner tes- tified to Jaclksons attempt at outrage, the case was adjourned until November when another week or more will proba- bly, be taken up with the police court testimony.
 MrS. Jdckson reihdih heu uPoii heoi ms that she and her husband were remanded, That suits us precisely" and the crowd present hissed the pair heartily as they were led out of the court room.
 Crowds of people outside the police court waited patiently but in vain for chance of hooting the prisoners. The po- lice are taking special precautions, fear ing that the prisoners might be lynched if the mob ever got hold of them.
 The Jacksons will spend the interim in Holloway jail.
 The Daily Mail announces that it will discontinue publishing reports Of the Jackson case and expresses regret that the law does not empower a magistrate to exclude the public and reporters from such unsavory trials.

SOUTHERN COURT usAcEs.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The charge has been often made, and not without some justification, that there is little respect for the dignity of courts and the majesty of justice in the South, and that it is largely due to this that so many exhibitions of mob violence occur in that section. It is pleasing, therefore to observe that radical changes in court usages have been effected in two leading Southern citeis.
 The Bar Association of Augusta, Ga., at a recent meeting passed a resolution that at the opening of each days session of the courts "all members of the bar present should rise, face the bench, and bow respectfully to the presiding judge as he is about to assume his seat" This act of courtesy is recommended to all the courts of the state. It Is further pro- posed that the judge shall be gowned while on the bench, thereby intimating that they are not merely men but the law and the court It is a healthy sign when such usages are suggested in a Southern State, for they will tend to in- crease respect for the law both on the part of the representatives and of the people.
 Another hopeful step forward has been taken in Kentucky. The city of George town and most other cities in that State as well are not so far advanced in civili- zation as August. Assuming that no pro- lection can be had from lle state, the county, or the city, each person under takes the duty of protecting himself by carrying a pistol As no two persons agree as to what constitutes sufficient cause for self-defense or what is the proper limit in the performance of that duty, collisions are frequent and murders every day affairs. So long as these mur- ders are purely individual and do not affect outsiders they are of little account, but of late they have become so frequent as to interfere with the processes of jus tice, thereby necesstating action of a prompt character to prevent the turning of courtrooms into shambles.
 Pending the trial of ex-Secretary of State Powers as accessory to the murder of Governor Goebe Judge Cantrill pre- siding has issued an order that every person In attendance, lawyers, jurors. spectators, even judges the bench, must be searched for pistols by the bail liffs before entering Checks Win be given for them, so that each man can have his own pistol when he goes out. The prudence of the judge is to be com mended. Without such precaution trage- dies might occur n a case where there Is so little law and justice and so much partisan prejudice. Surprising as the order of court may appear to civilized communities 1t Is perhaps the first step towards the decencies of life as well as the preservation of life in that To- cality, and as such it is to be highly commended

MAKES CORRECTIONS.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 In looking over your excellent report of the meeting in Birmingham on the night of October IT, I notice two inac- curacies in the report of my remarks.
 In this account I am reported as say ing:
 'He said any man who is a descendant of a soldier or can read and write or can pay taxes on $500 of property, has a right to vote."
 What I said was that ''under the tenn porary plan any man who was soldief, or the descendant of 8 soldier. or man of good character who understands the duties of a citizen under a republican form of government, was entitled to vote under the temporary plan, and when reg istered under the provisions of this plan became a voter for life" That "the per manent plan does not go into operation until January l. 1903, and under that plan, any man can vote who can read and write any clause or article of the con- stitution In the English language, or Is the owner of forty acres of land upon which he resides, or owns $500 worth of real or personal property, upon which he pays taxes, can vote; and that these quail ifcations of the permanent plan do not interfere with the rights of those who have previously registered under the tenn porary plan."
 Again 1 am reported as saying: Now the opposition speakers are talking about the unconstltutionality of the grandfath- CT clause. There was not lawyer in the convention who did not admit the constitutionality of the grandfather clause"
 What said was: NO lawyer In the convention denied the constitutionality of the Old Soldier Clause. The only objec- tion made was to the descendants clause. No objection was made to the right of the old soldier to vote but the objection made was to extending this right to the descendants of the soldiers" I argued If you can give the right to the soldier, you can with equal right and propriety give it to his son.

Another MoIineux Trial.

Somebody killed Mrs. Adams by poison three years ago-yes, three years ago-and yet the highest court in New York has just decided that the man who has been in the penitentiary a year and half under a suspended sentence of death was not legally con- victed. He is to oe tried again, and another course of delay becomes prob able. Will any man ever be hung for a crime that was certainly committed by some one?
 There has been lamentable failure of justice in this famous case. There . is in fact too much money in it. If Molineux be innocent. he has been un- duly punished if he be guilty, he should have been hung long ago.
 In this case a package containing the poison which caused Mrs. Adams death was sent through the mail di- rected to Harry J. Cornish, and it was claimed in the trial that the address on the package was in Molineux's handwriting. Mrs. Adams drank the poison by mista6e. Cornish was the intended victim. The legal difficulties or the case are connected with the at- tempt to prove by experts that the  address on the package was written by Molineux. The Appellate Court held that experts could not compare the address on the package with other writings of Molineux unconnected w-In the case. The prosecution erred exceedingly if this be a correct rule of evidence, and it certainly is the rule fin New York. There were other errors in the trial-the charging of Molin- eux with another poisoning case in which MT Barnet died, and the in- troduction of Barnet's statements made on his deathbed.
 It is plain that the Appellate Court bad abundant reasons for overturning the long and expensive trial, although it Is exceedingly improbable that any one can now be convicted of the crime through which Mrs. Adams lost her life. It is one of the miscarriages of justice which. our complicated legal 
 systems are very capable of, provided the money of both sides holds out

General Wade Aamp!on ior senator

General Wade Hampton for Senator.
 South Carolina is certainly in a mood to send Wade Hampton back to a body that he has been absent from eleven years. The old hero has passed his eightieth year, and is we'll ad- vanced in fact towards his ninetieth, but he is by no means feeble. He can ride horseback sitting erect as he did twenty years ago, and last summer he spent several weeks in the North Car olina mountains angling for trout. His mind is clear. his memory retentive, and there is really no reason on the score of age why he should not be sent back to the Senate, if the people of South Carolina so desire.
 Popular sentiment in the State points that way. The dominant Till man Democrats favor the election of General hampton. MT. Jones, the chairman of the Democratic State Committee, is supporting the old war chief, and is no longer a candidate for Senator himself. What Senator Me- Iaurin or Representative Latimer will do has not been ascertained, but if they stay in the race the people will still go on ano elect Hampton men to the Legislature.
 The Hampton movement Is sweep ing over the State. The old Senator will not be asked to make a canvass, or even speech; he will simply be asked to accept the office when it is rendered to him. And he will do so The situation is one of the most sur prising and general that has ever oc- cured in the politics of South Caro- Ina, and it is a wonderful tribute to Wade Hampton himself, who is now in the S5th year of his age. The peo- pie love the old general, and unless failure of health intervenes he seems destined to go back to the Senate at an unprecedented age and under cir cumstances exceedingly full of enthu- siasm over long and honorable serv- ice

FaIsifyinu History.

The Hon. Isaac Grant the veteran and beloved editor of the Clarke County Democrat, published in Grove Hill, is again after the falsifiers of history, who, by the way, seem to be especially numer- ous nowadays, from the Navy Depart ment in Washington to the "rooral deestricts." Referring to a statement in Chambers School History of the United States' that the battle of Maubila, in 154o, was fought on the site of the present city of Mobile. MT. Grant declares:
 This shows inexcusable carelessness. because the journal of the expedition shows that it could not have been that far south of Tallassee. The accompany ing historians also state the battle was about eighty-five miles north of the Bay of Ochus (Pensacola.)
 'The most intelligent and reasonable opinion locates said battle at French's Landing, a few miles above Gainestown. this county. Picketts Alabama locates Maubila at the present Choctaw Bluff. this county, but there are no remaining evidences to show that a town of any considerable size ever existed there, while at French's, Indian pottery, arrow heads. and so on, are found in considerable quantities, and pile of bullets were found in the woods near the landing some years ago. There seems to be nothing more certain, touching the well estab- lished expedition of Ferdinand DeSoto, than that the great battle of Maubila, supposed to have been the greatest ever fought with the Indians on American soil. was somewhere between our rivers on what is now the soil of Clarke county. battle of this importance should be correctly located in history, especially school history. and should be understood by Alabamians. and particularly those in- he5iting the delta where the important event occurred.
 "It seems unfortunate that writers are, in many instances. so careless sending out to the world as history what is not history"

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DIMES.

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
 Washington, October 16.-Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee. Ala, dined with the President this afternoon.-Associated Press.
 The above dispatch appeared in every paper of prominence in this country yes- terday m1rning. It Is doubtful If there Is a white man in the south who was not shocked and grieved when he read it. It is also doubtful if there are many white men in other sections than the south to whom such a news item will be a pleas ant one.
 The south, with hardly an exception, and other sections, with almost as great unanimity, regard the negro as a negro, and not the social equal of the white man, be he Booker Washington or any other member of the colored race.
 So far as the south, at least, is con- cerned, no matter what other sections may think, President Roosevelt has lost caste.
 The south never has and never will re- spect or admire a white man who con- siders negro sufficiently his equal to sit at a table and dine with him.

THE PASSAGE.

By Johann Ludwig Inland. Many a year is in it's grave Since I cross this restless wave: And the evening. fair as ever. Shines on ruin, rock and river. Then in this same boat beside Sat two comrades old and tried; One with all fathers truth, One with all the fire of youth One on earth in silence wrought. And his grave in silence sought; But the younger, brighter form Passed in battle and in storm. So whene'er turn my eye Back upon tho days gone by, Saddening thoughts of friends como OCT
 me Friends that closed their course before
 me.
 But what binds us, friend and friend, But that soul with soul can blendf Soul-likc were those hours of yore; Let us walk in soul once more. Take boatman. thrice thy fee: Take give it willingly; For, invisible to thee, Spirits twain have crossed with me.
