The opinion of Judge Jones in the
Powell case. growing out of the
Huntsville lynching, now in the Su
preme Court of the United States,
must be very commonly and widely
misconceived. We feel sure of this
after reading numerous editorials that
have recently appeared on the subject,
both in the North and the South.
Judge Jones sustained the demurrer to
the indictment on the hearing and
discharged the defendant. The gov
eminent itself has sued out writ of
error.
In the opipion filed in the case be-
low. 1t was distinctly held that the
Hodges case must be taken as a bind
ing authority that no right, privilege
or immunity in respect of due process,
at any stage in the duty of affording
1t. arises under the fourteenth amend
.ment, unless there be denial of the
right by the State or It's officers, and
that no immunity whatever is secured
under the constitution or laws in a
case like the Powell case, against
lawlessness of private individuals
which illustrates the States efforts to
perform its constitutional duty, al
though thereby all enjoyment of the
benefits of due process be prevented.
The Judgment in the Powell case was
directly opposed to the contention of
the government.

Sidewalk Penciiings



Locusts are infesting the swamp
lands of Lowndes County, according TO
Judge William H. Thomas. who re-
turned TO Montgomery yesterday from
his plantation in that vicinity Judge
Thomas says that he discovered mil
lions of locusts while crossing a creek.
AS / approached the creek" said the
Montgomery jurist," l heard an awful
roar. The sOund was overwhelming
could not imagine what it was. /
asked the little negro boy who was
driving me If he could account for the
sounds, but he could not.
When We crossed the next creek.
the same noise was manifest and l
made up nay mind that L was going
to find out the cause of it. l alighted
from my buggy and after partly climb
ing small tree. found that millions
of locusts were tnfesting the swamp
lands"
Judge Thomas caught one of the
pests and sent 1t to the State Ento-
mologist at Auburn for examination.
The bug he describes as having the
appearance somewhat of horse fly or
July fly, and possessing ugly col
ored eyes.
"Recorder's Court Habit"
Strange as 1t may SEEM. remarked
an attorney yesterday, these negroes
who apear in the Recorders Court
really enjoy the experience.
with them it takes the place of
the afternoon tea of the white folks
and 1t is an off day indeed when the
benches in the courc presided over by
Judge Baber are not filled.
when negro is arrested he sum-
mons everyone who has the most re-
mote knowledge of the case and in the
court room they all get together and
for the edifcation of each other relate
just how 1t all happened.
Quite a number of these negroes
have the Recorders Court habit ana
are. willing to pay a fine of 50 and
costs to indulge their desire for no
toriety."

JEFFpRsoN M. FALkNER

There is a feeling of genuine sor-
over the death of Colonel Jefferson M.
Falkner. No man in private life ever
commanded a greater share of the af-
fectionate regard of any people. HIS
career was that of patriot and phi
lanthropist. In his boyhood days he
entered the army of his home people
and friends and remained to the fate
full close. After the close of HOSTILE
ties he had to begin the battle OF life'
with nothing but his intellect and
courage to aid him. He completed
his education while engaged at farm
work and then entered upon his chosen
profession.
His whole life was devoted to the
law and nothing could turn him aside
from the path he had chosen. AS
tion for fifteen years he had no time
for the general practice and vet no
man was more generally known and
certainly none more highly esteemed.
All classes trusted him and had con-
fidence in him. To him perhaps as
many of the close and confidential
matters of friends were made known
as to any man who ever lived in this
community, not as attorney but as
friend tried and true.
His whole heart went out in love
for the Confederate Veterans who were
without home or resources. To him
belongs the honor of inaugurating the
movement for a Soldiers Home. On
ground which he gave for the purpose
he commenced the erection of build
ings for which money was contributed
because of his personal appeals. He
drew on his own resources to carry
on the work and 1t was a matter of
great joy to him that before he died
he saw provision made for the men
who deserve so much from their sur
viving brethren.
His friends for several years have
sorrowed over his feeble health and
now that he Is gone his splendid
work for humanity will remain for
ever as a monument to his memory.
He will be laid away beside father
and mother and other relatives who
have gone before him, and it is a
happy thought that his last resting
place is in sight of the Soldiers
Home. for which he labored so faith
fully. Alabama mourns with his fam
lily over the loss of a great and good
man.
