you that the negro was the aggressor. In cases of this kind the negro always Is the aggressor. No matter what may be the facts in the case the negro always is the aggressor. Isn't 1t a bit singular that the negro is always the aggressor, your honor?
 Did you ever notice that down in this country the man who pulls a gun or a knife and shoots or stabs and kills an- other man is always a quiet. amiable fellow who could hardly be kicked into a fight? A man who under no conditions could provoke a quarrel? A man who is taken altogether by surprise? A man who never dreamed of having a dlfti- culty?
 And did you ever notice that the fel- low who gets killed is a bold, bad man, who is always armed to the teeth, on the warpath and bent on blood letting? He always provokes the quarrel. He always strikes the first blow. He always hounds the other fellow He always has dirk In one hand and A Colts in the other.
 And then, if your honor please did you ever notice that the mild, innocent, urarmed angelic chap who couldn't be kicked into a fight some how or other gets the drop on the bold, bad man, armed to the teeth. and before the. bold bad man can get his gun into play, pumps him full of lead and puts him out of business?
 This boy here, if the court please is negro. The gentleman here Is white man. If this was a jury case, 1t might be well for opposing counsel to appeal to prejudice, but, if the court please, such appeals can have no weight before your honor. As Tom Watson says, what is there that we haven't done to the ne- gro that we could have done to him? He always gets the worst of 1t. But don't believe with the evidence here in this case, your honor will hold this boy here or a charge of assault with intent to murder.
 "So much for the facts in the case. What, If the court please, Is the law? Why, if your honor please. I shall not waste the time of this court by attempt ing to quote the law in this case, It Is familiar to your honor. Your honor had read, known and digested 1t before Broth CT Allen and I--before vel had almost said before we were born. Talk about the authorities? Why, If the court please, the case Is so plain that I hesitate to quote the authorities. Here if the court please" taking up a volume, lis the law. haven't looked 1t up.

 And Bee Elm did so.
 Then he wound up with an appeal for equal justice. Henry R. Dill followed MT. Allen. Then Judge Feagin strafghten- ed up to give his decision. Briefly the white man, the Judge held, had provoked the quarrel, had been the aggressor. had pursued the negro, and the negro had acted in self-defense. Therefore, the Judge decided to let Johnson go.

IN ITS NEW QUARTERS.
American Trust and Savings Bank Has
 an Auspicious Day.

The American Trust and Savings bank had an suspicious day in it's new quarters yesterday. Its cash, securi- ties, stationery and other effects were removed Tuesday night from the bank ing house on First avenue adjoining the Woodward building to the Ala bama National bank building at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, and at 9 o'clock yesterday morning was open for business in its new home. H. B. Urquhart, the cash fer, said after closing hours that the days business had been most gratify- ing and that scores of citizens had called to extend their congratulations.
 It is an interesting coincidence that three of the officers of the American Trust-Vice President H. l.. Badham, Vice President w. A. Porter and Cash fer H. B. Urquhart-were togther in the Alabama National bank seventeen years ago.

How much money does A. A. Gambill, the city license and street tax collector, make out of his office annually?
 Have the collections from street, poll and license taxes increased or diminished since MT. Gambill took the office?
 Does the record of the last ten years justify the city in continuing to make special contracts with the city license and tax collector, or should the office be put on salary basis?
 These questions have been, and are now, asked about as often as any other by the taxpayers of Birmingham.
 For the first time since MT. Gambill was elected to the office all these ques- tions can now be answered
 The information upon which these an- swers are based was collected yesterday by The Age-Herald.

BABY'S FACE
 MASS 0F SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop Off, Body Entirely Covered with Humor-Three Doctors Could Not Cure-Child Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. George J. Steese, of 7oi coburn St., Akron, Ohio. tells in the following letter of another of those remarkable cures of torturing, disfguring skin humors daily made by Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointm cnt, after physicians, and all else had failed: q feel 1t my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc tors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was eaten away, her ears looked as if they would drop of. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before had used half of the cake of soap and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body was as clear as a newborn babes. I would not be without it again if 1t cost five dollars, instead of seventy-fve cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever"

NEGROES HEAD AND AXE
 MET WITH BAD RESULT

An axe handle and negro's head came together in Smithfeld yesterday morning about o'clock, and as a result the negro is at the city jail with big bump on his head. He will also have to face a charge of two burglaries and grand larceny be- fore Judge Feagin.
 The axe was yielded by J. c. Stanfield, who lives on Church street between Third and Fourth avenues, and the head was that of Henry Williams, who was making a systematic raid on houses all over the city. It seems that the negro had just attempted to break into the resi- dence adjoining that of MT. Stanfield, and had been run away. He brought an axe away with him, and used 1t to try and pry open the door to MT. Stanfield's house.

The noise awakened the people in the house, and MT. stanf1eld secured his own axe as protection against the burglar. He waited several minutes for the negro to get the door open, and then fearing that the negro might in some way get in the house and cause trouble, MT. Stanfeld threw the door open and brought the axe handle down on the negro's head, bringing him to the floor like a log.
 Policeman Perkerson responded to a telephone call for an officer, placed hand cuffs on the negro and brought him to town. The negro reeed around like a drunken man from the effects of the blow, and was almost unconscious.
 At MT. Stanfield's residence was found double barreled shot gun. which was stolen Tuesday night about Il o'clock from the residence of Jim Grantland, HOT Avenue B. It Is therefore supposed that Williams burgIarized that residence also.

 Statistics compiled by tine Railway Age, of which advance sheets have Been re- ceived show a pleasingly brief list of railroad corporations that became in- solvent during 1904 The record in point of numbers is not as good as during the three preceding years.
 Eight companies that last year went into the hands of receivers owned a total of TAI miles of track, with sl4,262- 600 of bonds and $H,80700o of stock or a total capital and boaded debt of s36,O69,- 0OO The roads in Question arc small, ranging in length fFom eight to eighty miles, with the exception of the Bruns- wick and Birmingham, 113 miles, and the Detroit Southern, 3S9 miles.
 The insolvency of none of these Is at- tributed to general business conditions affecting railway earnings. The roads in the list in addition to the two just named are the Queen Anne's; Raleigh and Western. operating the Egypt; the Berkley of South Carolina; the Texas Southern; the Cincinnati. Bluffton and Chicago. and the Chicago, Indiana and Eastern.
 The receivership of the Raleigh and Western lasted only five months, and after that of the Brunswick and Bir- mingham was ordered, the work was sold under foreclosure for consolidation with the Atlantic and Birmingham, which now forms a system of $40 miles, operating under encouraging prospects The in- solvency of the Detroit and Southern was largely if not chiefly due to overcapitali- sation that was clearly evident when the company was organized in 1901 to suc- ceed the Ohio Southern and the Detroit and Lima Northern, and later took over the Iron Railway
