Ancient Copy Of Neu York Herald
 Contains Many Interesting Stories

Accounting the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in Ford's theatre in Washington, containing Jeff ferson Davfs's proclamation issued to the people of Virginia and the Con- federacy, and numerous other articles of intense interest, copy of the New York Herald, now in possession of the Advertiser of April Is. 1865, affords a striking example of the advances of Journalism in America.
 From a Southern standpoint the pa- per Is one of the most interesting published at any time during the war. and it Is equally as interesting to newspaper men who marvel at the prominence and typographical display given to stories of such importance as those carried in this particular ed- ition.
 The story of President ( LincoIp,s death is headed Important" the head being in 24 point type extending across but one column. The story is told in the reproduction of copy of Ee- port sent to Major General Dix at New York by Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
 Less than four columns are devoted to this story, and it Is doubled leaded. making about two columns in the mod- ern newspaper.
 In the same edition appears ten lines about the stabbing of Secretary Seward in his bed at his home.
 It is hardly possible to conceive of such. important news stories ot today being covered in less than two or three pages solid type, with heads line screamed across seven pages. and more if possible. Pictures by the scoye, expressions of sentiment from all quar- ters of the globe. and a thousand and one details would be covered by hum

Nreds of trained newspaper men.
 Tne only other display headline in the front page of the paper, which IS but six columns, is one headed .The Rebels" in type but little smaller than that used over the story of the assas- sination of President Lincoln. This is a story in which Jefferson Davis's pro- clamation to the effect that the fall of Richmond was a blessing in dis- guise, and 1t gave the Confederate troops room to move without oppo- sition. It is also proclaimed fin this proclamation that Virginia was to be held at all hazards. and that Lees army was safe.
 Dispatches in the same edition from New Orleans show that cotton was sell ing at 49 cents a pound and that flour was hard to get at &9 per barrel. A dispatch from Raleigh bore the inform ation that the local market was over stocked with fine shad. and that it was hard matter to get over $50 a pair for them. On the front page is quot cd an editorial from the Raleigh Con- federate in which Lee is urged to ac- eept President Lincoln's proposition for surrender.
 Important events chronicled in other sections of the paper are the bom- bardment of old Spanish forts near Mobile, the commencement of Sher- mans famous march to the sea, pre- paration for taking up terms of the surrender, the ram Albermarle raised in good condition etc. |
 The paper published by the Herald on that date was only four pages. It was hlled with but little else than war news, military orders and a small bit of foreign correspondence It is a most interesting relic.

SELMA MEN IN NCOURT

 Consul and Acquitted of Ep the Charge.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Feb. 1s.
 At Consul. Marengo County. yester- day. afternoon. three weil-known Sel- miahs were tried on the charge of hav- game laws. Those tried were J. H. Lumpkin. M. R. Jones. IT,, and c. R. Mason.
 The violation of the game laws was alleged to have been committed during the latter part of December, and a dep- uty from Marengo County came to Selma about ten days ago and placed the three citizens under arrest and al- lowed them to make bond.
 It was asserted that the three Sel- mians had hunted on land in Marengo County without the written permission of the owner of the land. Some one learned of this and swore out the war rant against them.
 The cases were called in the court of Justice c. S. Wood at Consul yestefday In the trial, both sides were represent ed by attorneys. and at the conclusion of the evidence. Justice Wood announc- ed that he dismissed the cases against the defendants, they having shown that they had aswrttten . permission to hunt on the land.
 After the defendants had been dis harged Mir. Lumpkin addressed the court. saying that he disliked very much to have been put into the posi- tion which the arrest had placed him: that he had always tried to respect the laws of the State. and had been Sheriff of Dallas County and Chief of Police of Selma. and had always tried to enforce the laws; that he was a great admirer of the State game laws. and not only respected them himself, but had preached their good to his friends.

WITH SEVEN STRAIGHT
 VICTORIES COLUMBUS COMES
Locals win Try to Retrieve the First
 Defeat.

Oe1e0gs
 The Montgomery Y. NJ, c. A. basket ball team will line up tomorrow night against the crack Columbus aggrega- tion, fne acknowledged champions of the South, in what should be the warmest contest of the season. The visiting team has an enviable reputa- tion, one which shows that they we'll deserve the title which they claim. but they are not coming here with the idea of walking away with the game as is shown by the communication with Manager Dowd of the Columbus team.
 MT. Dowd boasts of the record of his team but says: "So far We have played seven games and won all of them, but of course don't expect this good luck to last always. Your team has been going finely and we expect a hard fight when we meet"
 The Montgomery team has been go- ing finely. Seven teams in succession have tried and failed to secure vic- tory over the Montgomery team on the local floor since Columbus was here on Thanksgiving night. And, when 1t is considered that Vanderbilt. Auburn, Illinois, Birmingham and Nasnvile were the teams that went up against the locals it can be seen that the To- calls have been going some. The Mont gomery team does not expect to win by a large score, 1t is not in the habit of doing this as has been shown sew eraI times. In the majority of the local games, Montgomery gets a sew en or eight point lead in the contest and the rest of the game plays on the defensive.
 The record of the Columbus team for the season ls as follows.
 Columbus ss, MentsomsFy 2S: % so Birmineham Y. M. c. A. II; Colum- bus sl. Illinois go; Columbus s7. Au- burn s2; Columbus 50, University of Ga, 2S; Columbus s1. Atlanta X"M- c. A.. 24.
