Statutory Action of Ejectment.-Appeal
 from the Circuit Court of Coosa.
 1. Ejectment; not necessary to plead statute of mitations.-In an action of ejectment, a plea of not guilty presents every issue which is in bar of action; and, therefore, a special plea setting up the statute of limitations is unnecessary.
 2. EJectment; sufficiency of verdict In an action of ejectment where the com plaint sufficiently describes the lands sued for. a verdict of the jury that they find the issue for the plaintiff for the lands sued for, and assess the damages for rent at thirty dollars" etc. is not defective for its failure to describe the lands. or in the use of the words flor rent" instead of use and occupation: and such verdict will sustain a judgment for the recovery by plaintiff for the lands sued for describing them as set out in the complaint, and for the damages as- sessed.
 3. Ejectment: plea of disclaimer; when defendant entitled to costs.-In an action of ejectment against two or more defend ants. one of whom filed a plea of dis claimer, but the judgment entry shows that issue was joined only on the plea

Famous Name and Talents Did Not
 Save Him From Conviction.
 General Robert E. Lee, a negro, yester- day edified twelve austere Montgomerians who comprised jury empanelled by the City Court of Montgomery, to decide on the guilt or innocence of General Robert K. Lee, negro accused of grand larceny.
 General Robert E. Lee. negro, Is the antithesis in character of the honored man whose name he bc-.s. General Rob- ert F. Lee, negro, sets at defiance the platltudinous question asked by the great bard:
 Whats In a name?"
 Gossip among his fellows has 1t that at one time the name of General Robert E. Lee, negro flashed forth on the bill boards as "Bobo, the Mastabulan Glass Masticator," and that he received many dollars per week for chewing the brittle substance to the exquisite delight of small boys and delegations of open mouthed countrymen. For this negro Is a profes- sional glass eater.
 Times changed and General Robert E. Lee, negro, descended from his cheese cloth covered box in a circus side show. He assumed the less honorable profession of sneak thief.
 There is much n the make up of Gen. eTdi flOUeTI Act' ItcBAVs tO OhS of Dickens "Artful Dodger." Although we'll advanced in his twentiee, General Robert E. Lees stature measures less than five feet. General Robert E. Lee, negro. is smart withal.
 "He knows more about criminal law said a well known criminal catcher, than a lot of lawyers"
 General Robert E. Lee, negro, was yes terday arraigned in the City Court oi Montgomery, under charge of stealing a box of medicine from Greil Bros. Through his counsel, he entered a plea that he was of tender years and scanty under. standing.
 How old are you. General |" he wal asked.

 It was proven. however, that Gen. Rob ert E. Lee. negro, had passed the age of mans estate several years.

 It availed him nothing. The jurors Ge cided that he was not lunatic, but c rather talented negro. They also form ed the opinion that General Robert E Lee, negro, stole medicine from Grel Bros.

 Frank Jackson, a negro, was also con- Vlcted of grand larceny.
