CAPT. BOYD ANSWERS
SOLICITOR HEFLIN

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
A few DAYS ago the Age-Herald printed
a communication from me in reply 10
an article published by Solicitor Helm
on his official record. Ny reply brieny
quoted the official reports which showed
that many of the felonies indicted by the
grand Jury were afterwards disposed Oh
by Solicitor Heflin without trial; and
that Solicitor Webb Of the large county
of Mobile obtained proportionately, more
than twice as many convictions as Soic-
itor Hein. Reference was also maoe'
among a few other matters, to SOLICITOR
Helms appointment OF his NONRESIDENT
brother as assistant solicitor OF JEFFERSON
county. who. even while holding office
here, was not citizen of this county.
But in availing myself of the implied IN
yitation to discuss the solicitors record
| strictly confined my answer TO con-
sideration of Mr.. Helms official acts
While | differ with the solicitor on the
success of his administration our per-
sonaI relations have always been en-
tirely friendly and | recall supporting his
brother for secretary Of state about TWO
years ago at the solicitors request.
I was therefore naturally much sur
prised last Monday to be made the object
of the solicitors blind and personal at
Mr.. Boyd Of Ensley." etc
II Mr. Hefiin Intends to be personally
offensive he should not select the news
papers for his purpose. II is true as
charged that l have resided In Jefferson
county for only about five years but ]
DO not believe the people Of this growing
county will agree with the solicitor that
this is good reason for not fairly con-
siderfng the reply l submitted to his
article on the solictorship race. How
ever, If the solicitor insists on claiming
superior rights by virtue of longer res
idence. / am informed that both Of his
opponents were raised In this county, and
that Hon. William r. Terry is at present
a trustee for this district of the large
state college at Auburn. In charging
others with being offce-hungry, Solicitor
Hehin, who Is a member of the distin-
guished Hefn family Of Randolph coun-
ty, attains to some distinction as hui
morist.
Unless am greatly mistaken, the opin-
ion is general that the solicitor has been
weighed in the balance and found want
ing" but Notwithstanding this impress
sion. 1t might have been better for him
II he had attempted to answer the points
made in my reply to his published rec
ord instead of INDUCING In the unfortu-
nate vituperation which characterized his
last article In future, II Solicitor Helm
wishes me to take further notice Of any
thing he may have TO publish, he must
refrain from offensive personalities and
conf1ne himself to the facts bearing on
his official record.
Yours very truly.

CRAFTY NEGRO BOUND OVER.
Lee Jones In County Jail Accused OF
swindIing Country Negroes.

Lee Jones, negro, was yesterday
bound over to the criminal court by Judge
Feagin on a charge of robbery. His bond
was set at $1,000, and In default of securi-
ty to that amount he was sent to the
county jail.
Lee is one of the smooth city negroes
who has been swindling the country ne
groes by pretending to get them Job
with the railroads, and getting their
money by this means. On Friday he
tackled Will White and offered to get
him a job as porter on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. He managed to get
s24 from the Bessemer negro, and went to
get the suit of clothes, but never return
ed.
1t afterwards came to light that he had
used a pistol to get the money. Several
negroes testified yesterday that Lee had
pointed pistol at White and threatened
to take his life If he did not give him the
money. When the evidence was heard
Judge Feagin changed the charge from
embezzlement to robbery.

ROLAND SHUGART DENIED BAIL
AND REMAINS IN COUNTY JAIL
LARGE CROWD EXPECTED
AT THE MASS MEETING

Mr.. williams has arranged for this
special matinee on washlngton's birthday,
and the wells-Dunne-Harlan Musical
Comedy company will present by the
Sad Sea Waves" q musical comedy in
which the company Is said to be better
cast than any of its other plays.
From the performance Tuesday night a
good sum should be realized, as the sale
of seats will probably be the largest of
the season. The ladies interested in
the hospital have been selling tickets all
the past week, and viii continue to do so
tomorrow and Tuesday.
AS soon as they complete the sale for
John Drew they will commence selling
tickets for the Monday matinee at the
Bijou next week. 1t Is thought that
about $500 people will be crowded into the
theatre at this performance, and that
the hospital will get between $500 and 5000
as the proceeds. The theatre will gre
one-half of the total receipts.
my brother was indicted l am frank to
say that l would not prosecute him but
on the contrary would resign from the Of
fee of solicitor But If / did prosecute
him I would do so to the best of my abil-
ity, and would not try TO whitewash MIN.
There is a serious proposition before the
people of Jefferson county. what you
want to do is to eliminate the murderers
from this county. l have more patience
with a thief than have with muir
derer.
The Jurles.
The best men of Jefferson county are
not put upon the juries and for that rea-
son we have verdicts in this county I'M
like all others in the state Of Alabama.
When a man goes into saloon In this
county he takes his life In his own hands
It is not necessary to argue this case.
[ would have been willing to submit II
to the court without argument But
must say that human life in this county
is not worth any more than puff or q
cigar-It Is the cheapest thing we have
1t is because of the juries. Get good
honest men on the juries and they will
not believe this manufactured evidence,
and turn murderers aloose In JEFFERSON
county, guilty men have been acquitted
of the charge of murder when they were
guilty"
The solicitor completed his argument
about $50 o'clock. Court then adjourned
for three hours. AT $50 o'clock Judge
Alternately announced his decision, bind
ing the defendant over to the grand jury
without bail.

AS to Number of Shots.

81 do not know how many shots were
fired, but do believe Truman II. Aldrich
when he says he heard seven shots. Why

Ideals In Politics.

In politics there are ideals also. and It
was his purpose to aid in unfolding these
ideals. The democratic spirit is not con-
fined TO party lines. and is superior to all
bounds. The democratic spirit to a certain
extent pervades the democratic prin-
ciples. but is also found among repub-
licans and all men whose ideas of life ale
broad. He hoped that the spirit Of democ-
racy would continue to spread untA IT
developed this government and all others
The ideals of politics do not lie in the
hearts Of those men who hold office mere
ly for what they can get out of 1t. but
in the hearts of those who struggle for
their convictions. The broadest democracy
il that which gives the common people the
widest participation in government affairs.
If they have the right to make mistakes
they have the right to correct them and
should have voice in all matters pertain
ing to their own welfare and happiness.

SCIENTISTS TELL
WHY BALL CURVES

ATMOSPHERE RESPONSIBLE
A Feather, If Dropped in Vacuum of

Falls Like Stone.
ATMOSPHERE RESPONSIBLE

Writers who discourse on modern
progress tell us about the astonishing
advances in bacteriolOgy, IN surgery,
In pathology, in the application OF
scientific knowledge to electricity and
a score Of other things, but the ordi-
nary baseball crank OF this day and
! generation would be rather astonished
II the fact were brought TO his atten-
| ton that it is only thirty-thrce years
since the subject OF baseball curves was
| first discussed, says the Philadelphia
Ledger
At that time scientists were inclined
| to scott at baseball curves. The discus
| sion, in the light OF our experience and
1 our present universal knowledge, Is
/ rather amusing. The ball does nor
pears to curve; but at length tests were
/ made
Fooled the Scientists.
wide board was placed just where
: the batter stands. directly over the
plate, and at right angles To the pitcher.
| A straight line was then drawn from
| The place where the bail lett the pitch
| er's hand right through the middle OF
! the board and on 10 point back OF the
board where the catcher stands. The
/ curve artists then threw the ball with
the twist and 10 and behold, the bali
actually went around the board ana
over the spot or even further around a
string suspended over the end Of that
/ straight line back OF the board.
The curve OF the baseball is now no
longer open 10 doubt, but the question
with the scientific inquirer Is. Why does
1t curve? And this question the Sclen-
tifc American answers.
The pitcher in the field tells US that
the ball curves because he gives IL a
twist, but scientifically this Will not do.
Why will the twist make the curve!
II a ball were thrown in a certain di-
i rection and If the force OF gravitatiou
were not al work, the ball would con-
I tinue on in a straight line forever. Some
force OF resistance is, then, at work

and slowly, shifting from side 70 side
= Atmosphere Responsible.
II is the atmosphere which causes the
: ball to curve. Bearing in mind that the
atmosphere is a cOmpressible, elastic
! gas. we find that when the ball leaves
the hand of the pitcher with rapid
rotary motion it .'ImDinges upon con
, tinuous elastic cushion" and this mod
! crate resistance, or friction, changes lis
course in the direction which Is given
to the rotary motion. rake an outshoo'

This championship he won from five
