They were talking about Senator Pettus. two Montgomery lawyers; and they agreed that he was a grand old southern gentleman.
 He has a fine sense of honor.' said one, ''and he never deviates a hair from the ethics of his profession. He IS lover of humanity but he especially loves his own people, his relatives. The devotion of Senator Pettus and Mrs. Pettus. one for the other, was one of the most beautiful things have ever noticed in this world. In their old age they were inseparable. almost.
