 Dr. H. W. Purdy was the suc- ceeding and final witness. He testified that in cases of alcoholism the subject is frequently afflicted with all sorts of Authorizations.
 That closed the testimony for the defence.
 But little time was consumed Tn argument by the attorneys.
 In rendering a decision the court said in part:
 Proof of perjury must rest upon three strongly proved points, viz: Affidavit to certain positive allegations, positive proof of their falsity, and proof of wilful utterance of the false allegations. Upon two of the points the prose cution has presented evidence to substantiate their case But upon the third there is no evidence. Upon the other hand the evidence goes to show that the alleged per jury is not wilful--that defendant really believed he was hit with a bottle when he was hit with Mr. Chambers fist only. Defendant is discharged"

upon McCurdy's person, by strik- ing him on the head with bottle. Considerable latitude was per mitted in the examination, the witness being asked by the district attorney what he thought the motive of McCurdy in making the charge. The witness had no ldea what the motive.
 The next witness was Allen I. Bird, a member of the grand jury, who had acted as secretary of that body. The testimony given cor roborated that of Mir. Neuman, the foreman. There was also a good deal of latitude in the examination of this witness, particularly on cross examination. The attorney for the defence, alluding to the district attorneys inquiry as to motive, asked the witness if Me- Curdy appeared to believe his own story when he was before the grand jury. The reply was that he did. Then an inquiry was made as to the apparent impression McCurdy made on the grand jury. The re- ply was that after McCurdy had retired from the room one of the grand jurors had said that If after being hit by Chambers he had said brick house had fallen on him he (the juror) would believe that McCurdy thought so.
 The court put an inquiry as to whether McCurdy was sober when he appeared before the grand jury, and received an atfirmate reply.
 The next witness was B. H.. Chambers, who testified that he is interested in and manager of the Palace saloon. On the occasion of which McCurdy complained to the grand jury he (McCurdy) was in the saloon, drunk and disorderly. Witness did all he could to quiet the man, and, as on several former occasions, the witness accepted re- peated insults. Finally provoked beyond endurance he dealt the de- fendant blow with his fist, knock ing him insensible, and landing him about ten feet from where he stood. A pitcherful of ice water was poured over defendants head, reviving him, and he got up and went away. Witness denied using bottle or anything but his fist.
 Upon oross-examintion witness said his weight is 217 pounds, and admitted that he can strike a very hard blow.
 ]. w. Schultz was the succeed ing witness, and he testified that he is a bartender at the Palace and was on watch at the time ot the altercation in which McCurdy was hit. Chambers used nothing but his fist Did not use a bottle or any other weapon.
 The prosecution rested.
 Defendant MeCnrdy went on the stand as principal witness for tht defence. He was i'll the Palace saloon. He had been drinking and had an altercation with Cham bers, the latter striking him, as h, believed, and still believes, witt a bottle, knocking him senseless He recollected nothing after thai until some hours afterward, wher he found himself in bed in hi: room, with his head very sore anc his arm very sore.

And we stand ready, with loyal devo

Of our blood Our problems are their

they come to understand, il they do

which seeks to again sectonalize this
republic, and to force upon the South
burdens not laid upon others, will
meet the just condemnation of the

The South has given much to this
republic in the past, and, believe me,
1t has much that is brave and strong
in manhood and character to con
tribute in the future. A Southern
brain conceived, a Southern hand
drafted the Declaration, that here at
least, is still revered as the chart of
the peoples liberties. A Southern
general commanded the colonial
armies, which won our freedom and
gave the nation independence. A
Southern man presided over, and
Southern thought dominated the con.
yention that gave our Constitution
and spoke the nations birth. South
ern presidents signed the treaties that
gave us Louisiana and Texas and Cali.

merce the mighty Mississippi, which
flows through the heart of the repub-
lie, down to the sea. In later years
the South has given to the nation an
example of patience and courage and
loyalty, under trying conditions, that
must raise the standard of civic man
hood The South today is giving to
the nations business life, the products
of its energies, and the multiplied
wealth its prosperity is bringing
Here in the South is found the purest
Americanism that yet survives within
our land, and, mark my words, the
South will some day prove the saving
grace of this republic.
1t is our mission to hold and pre-
serve in purity our domestic instltu-

and hearts Of our people an abiding
faith in the immortal principles of
constitutional government, as given to
us by the fathers. Let us discharge our
high responsibilities with unselfish
fidelity, moved by the uplifting hope
that we may thus help to bring to the
State and the nation a higher and bet
