 in Decision
POLICE COURT REPARTE
Old Negro Woman Explains Why Her Testimony PIeases the Lord-Po- llcemen Notified That They
 Must Attend Court.

Judge Eeagin rendered a decision in the police court yesterday afternoon that would have excited the most enthusiastic admiration of the late King Solomon Of wisdom. and other fame.
 Jim Harris, negro, was put on trial for cursing a young Greek boy to a double polished finish. Tho abused subject of King George took the stand to tell his troubles
 z"Did that man curse you?" asked the court
 The Greek crossed his feet and locked his hands and stared.
 q say" repeated the court, did that man curse you?"
 The Greek unerossed his feet and put hand on each arm of the chair and stared deeper.
 "I asked you,e started the judge again when an older Greek standing near by stepped forward and said
 'Yes, sir, MT. Judge. he cussy him all right but boy speak no English and he don't know it. me know it.
 "Well, said the judge with a puzzled look, I don't know just how to handle this case. The law says that you must not curse a man, but is the man don't know anything about it l don't see what harm it could do him if he were cursed all day l am a little uncertain just how the law would view that sort of a situation.
 "Ill tell you what I will do, Jim. said the court addressing the negro, "in view of the fact that you admit the eursng and that the plaintiff admits by his silence that 1t was all lost as far AS he was con eerned. I will compromise the matter. so to sneak, and fine you $25O. which is just half price for a complete case of either good English or a negro dialect curse.

Must Attend Court.

Judge Feagin put the members of the police force on notice yesterday that un- less they attend the sessions of the court and prosecute their cases that he viii dismiss them, regardless of what the charge may be.
 This brings up the question that the members of the force had under serious consideration before the eight hour sys- tenn went into effect.
 The position taken by tho policemen was that if they had to remain around the court in their off hours to prosecute their cases that the change would be of little benefit to them. They would, it Is said, just as soon be doing patrol duty.

Tired of Discussion.

''rhe matter is one, like many others, upon which all our people will never agree. I am thoroughly tired of the prop ostion, and would be glad to have the Commercial club at it's next meeting order a sale of the statue to the highest bid der, and then distribute the money we now have, and the money received from the sale, back to those who contributed the 5000 recently raised. This would give the Mayor and Aldermen, the Cadmean Circle, Col. l.. W. Jones, the city of Bes- semer, or any one else an opportunity to acquire ownership of the Iron Man, and 10 place him where the purchaser sees fit. without consulting the Commercial club.
 'I would like for it 10 be understood that I had nothing to do with the crea- tion of the Iron Man. I don't care the ! snap of a. finger for him, except that it 1 was a Birmingham enterprise, and as such I contributed my part of something like S3O,000, and would like to see our people get together on what shall be done with the statue"
