LOWRY WAS FINED
CONSCIENCE STRICKEN PRISONER
 WAS GUILTY.
He Stabbed Store Keeper in West Fad, And Fled to Memphis to Give
 Himnelf Un,

]. M Lowry. the white man who last winter stabbed R. c. McLain a store keeper of West End. appeared in tho criminal division of the city court yes- terday afternoon to answer to the charge of assault to murder The talk ing of evidence occupied much time. and the deliberations of the jury also occupied a great deal of time. A yer dict was finally agreed upon. The prisoner was found guilty of assault with a weapon and the amount of his fine fixed at Si00.
 It wiIibe remembered that Lowry while drinking in McIain's store in West End soon after New Year. quar- reled with McLain. cutting him about the hip and upper body with a knife. Appearing before a justice his bond was fixed at $500 and was made by LaPrade and the late James Freeman.
 Shortly after making bond. Lowry skipped for parts unknown and . con- ditionai forfeiture was taken against the bondsmen. Nothing was heard of Lowry for many weeks, until the Chief of Police of Memphis telegraphed Sheriff Hood that a man had entered headquarters at that city and asked that he be sent back to Montgomery where he was charged with assault to murder and skipped bond. The chief stated in his telegram that the man semed to be conscience-stricken and had given that reason for giving him seH up.
 Mir. LaPrade. one of the bondsmen, immediately went to Memphis and brought Lowry back to Montgomery without a cent of cost to the city. Judge Thomas of the criminal court therefore did not take the forfeiture against him, as his prisoner was pro- duced for trial on time.
 Wiley Fitzpatrick. a negro. charged with assault to murder. in that he tried to kill his wife a short time ago, was convicted by the jury in the case. Ernest Bowman, white boy. charged with false pretenses. was convicted. Harvid Worthy. charged with petit larceny. was found guilty and fined S5. Smith Virgin. or, the charge of carry Ing concealed pistols. plead guilty to the charge and was fined $50.

HUMIDITY WAS BAD,
 BUT WEATHER IS BETTER

While the thermometer showed that 1t was much cooler yesterday 1t real ly seemed about as hot, as ever on &C., count of the humidity, or the after math of Thursdays rain combined with the sun. It was some cloudy, a fact that helped some. Yet on the whole 1t was far from being a pleas ant day to those who stirred about.
 At o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer showed a temperature of s5 degrees, while at the same time the humidity stood at 7s degrees. a combination likely to make the cold est biooded person wish he were some- where else.
 In the afternoon there was a breeze, which together with the clouds made 1t rather pleasant. The night, as was Thursday night, was delightful.
 The local weather bureau in its re- port states that rains like that which fell Thursday afternoon and evening were general through tho whole of the cotton belt. good rains being re- ported in many portions of southern Alabama. The prediction for to-day is the same as that of yesterday. Light showers at Montgomery and vicinity during the day and night

 In the meantime. those persons who have ordered beer through any agency but the express company are on the qui vIve. The game of outwitting the police and hauling beer through the streets of the city is becoming hazar- dous.

The Teaeher's Lantern.

Pythagoras's dictum, "Friendship. one soul In two bodies." Is the classic counterpart to the expressive, sacred record that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David.
 Friendship is the best and the evii- est of things. When based upon a common and true faith, and guided by the mutual purpose of obedience to God, 1t is a fragrant remnant of Para uIse, as we'll us a strong buttress to character. Friendship not so based and transfused has in 1t elements of positive danger.
 That "lie of necessity Is a blot upon an otherwise fair record. It was born of unbelief David got morbid and fearful over Saul's course toward him. He thought deceit Justifiable and necessary under the circumstances. His course IS not explicitly condemned in the narrative, but the consequences show 1t unnecessary and disastrous.
 The stars In their courses fought against Saul. He tried to ensnare Da- vId by marrying him to his daughter. But by the very creation of that rela- tionshlp to himself. he made the &C., cession of David to his throne the less invidious in public estimation. And Michal rescued her husband from her fathers hand.
