at the next term of court
Court opened this morning at $3.50 o'clock
and from that time until o'clock there
were only three witnesses examined, one
for the defense and two for the state.
AS stated above the case was given 20
the jury about 6 o'clock and it required
Just four minutes and half to bring in
the verdict.
For the state, Pinkney Scott read the
law and made a fine argument. Solicitor
Perry talked to the jury and made a
most notable speech.
The speech of Frank s. White, for his
client, was one of the best ever heard in
the Bessemer city court Among other
things he wanted to know just how many
times a man would have to be tried on
one charge or a number of charges upon
which he had been acquitted at a former
trial. He claimed that his client had
been tried in December, 1904, and acqult-

sufficient, but since the state had elected
to try the case again on technical grounds
he had gone into the trial believing firm

been tried once and found not guilty, he

Upon to decide was this

DeLeon's Address.


Mobile, June 3-(SpeciaL)-At the cele-
=. ersary. of the birth of the Confederacy
Jefferson Davis, the principal feature was
the address of Col. I. C. DeLeon, the
noted blind author and editor.
Mr. DeLeon began by noting the wide
spread ignorance as to Mr.. Davis, borth
as to his personality and his career. He
noted that Hon. Champ Clark not long
ago told his audience that the northern
histories and cyclopedias of biography
gave five, six or more pages to Mr. Lin
coin, and averaged one or less to Mr..
Davis Was that the fault of the north
ern writers, or of the southern ones equal
ly capable of writing history? Then the
speaker touched on the coincidental origin.
birth, residence and upward career of the
two warning presidents. He told how
both were colonial and revolutionary in in
terest. The parents of the fathers of
both these great men immigrated to Penn
sylyania, later settling In adjoining coun-
ties in Kentucky, where they were born
within eight months of each other. They
were differently reared and educated, Lin
coin in poverty and as laborer, and
Davis in ease and for profession. The
strange likeness Of the men, in rough
and polished imprint, was touched upon
Then with perfect impartiality, apparent
ly, Mr. DeLeon gave a close personal
analysis of the chiefs characteristics and
mental traits, showing him man of
iron in duty, but the tenderest and most
loving of husbands and parents. He told
of Mr.. Davis absolute devotion to the
lost cause, of his sacrificing for 1t every
thing in life, save his own indomitable
will. 1.-The voice of my own prophet and
oraeular soul" He closed his study OF
the President by saying that he was Of
the mould that must lead, and could
neither seek, nor brook advice that he
wrought with his whole might and brain
and soul for the cause; then failed, pos
sibly because he could not make the Con-
federacy Jefferson Davis.
Mr.. DeLeon paid high tribute to Mr..
Davis honesty of intent as opposed to
the stories of favoritism and prejudice in
army commands. He had thoroughly con-
WINGED himself 0he speaker said of the
supposed worth and greatness of such
men as Bragg and Hood, and of the real
weakness of the greatest tactician Of
the army, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. What
mind never errs in it's judgment of men,
in its forecast of results? Mr.. Davis was
human, he erred and suffered, and died
for the people he loved with the whole
of his great soul. He stands today as the
reincarnation of the living Confederate
spirit; and the south, and the nation. and
the world owe debt to the noble women,
! who have this year woven fresh bays
| and eVergreens about his memory, at the
| wise and gentle word of their noble pres
ident, Cornelia Branch Stone"

GOLDEN RULE IN LAW
mot TO BE DISMISSED WITH
SHEER FROM CAPITOL HILL"

The Golden Rule and the Ten Com
mandments cannot be dismissed with a
sheer from Capitol HILL declared Rev
DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. pastor Of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, in a
sermon to his congregation yesterday
morning. He took as his subject 1.-The
perfect law Of liberty
He said in part:
I'VE. hear much today OF advanced
humanity and liberal thought as solutions
Of social problems. They are often
but another name for license. Liberty
is to the collective body what health is
to the physical body. But one mans
liberty ends where it curses his neigh
Dor.
The only complete liberty is on a
desert island. The entrance OF another
man brings law, and the increase Of
men brings increased restraint. But
This increased restraint gives greater
freedom. The cooperation OF society
nsures the larger development toward
knowledge and comfort.
Civil laws and institutions cannot in
sure peace. They still become only eX-
pressions and projections of selfishness
This solution is not in philosophers or leg
islation, benefactions, or tariffs, but in
that gospel whose law is liberty. whose
liberty is law. and whose law Of liberty is
In the person and work of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Liberty and equality in themselves
make men devils. Ignorance and vice
lead to Gespotism. A nation may lose
its liberties in a day and not miss them
in a century. The safety OF free coun-
try is in the seif-rule of its citizens.
1.-The Golden Rule and the Ten Com
mandments cannot be dismissed with
sneer from Capitol Hill. The liberty that

GOOD COUGH MEDIClNEHFOR
CHILDREN.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A child
is much more likely to contract diphther-
ia or scarlet fever when he has a cold.
The quicker you cure his cold the less
the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is the sole reliance of many mothers, and
few of those who have tried it are willing
to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher
of Ripley, w. Va. says."l have never
used anything other than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy for my children and j
has always given good satisfaction
This remedy contains no opium or othe,
narcotic and may be given as confidently
to an adult. For sale by all druggists.
