LECTURES A JURY
TREns NEGRO ACCUSED OF SELL
 IN GLIoUOR.
FOro1hay In Court at Selma.
 News of the Central

Selma, March 23-(Spectai.)-lf & bomb had been exploded in the court room during the session of the Circuit Court Of Dallas county this morning the spectators. the jurors or the court officials and lawyers would not have been more electrified or startled than they were at a few remarks which Judge B. M. Miller addressed to jury after it had rendered It's verdict in case against negro-who had been cried for a violation of the prohibition hw. -
 The remarks made by Judge Miller oaused the sensation of the day and were very generally commented upon. Citizens and lawyers joined in making comments and the discussions which followed on the streets.
 Ta One of the oases taken up during the session of the Circuit Court. this morning was case against Sandy Smith, . negro, who was charged with . violation of the prohibition laws. Il was alleged that the negro formerly operated a blind tiger" near Orrville in the western part of the county and the last grand jury of the circuit court indicted him on that charge PreviouS to his arrest the negro is stated to have borne an excellent rep uta.tion In the neighborhood in which he lived.
 When the case was called against Sandy. Smith this morning there was one witness against him. L. R. McMil- dan. a white man who lives at Orrville After the case was concluded 1t was given to the jury which after being a short while returned a. verdict of not guilty.
 After the rendering of this verdic, the remarks which were so generally commented upon today were made by Judge Miller. The substance of these remarks were:
 "Do you gentlemen believe in up- holding and enforcing the prohibition laws of the State and Dallas county If you do hold up your right hands, Judge Miller asked of the jurors.
 The right hand of every. man on the jury went up into the air as soon as Judge Miller had concluded his ques- ton. After looking at them for a mo- menS, Judge Miller said:
 Well, it does not appear so to me from the verdict which you fendered in the case you just tried. A white negro and seemed, while testifying, to tell the truth. yet 1t does not appear that you considered his evidence. but instead, believed the evidence told you by the negro efendant while he was on the stand as you brought in yer dict of innocence"
 Some thought these remarks severe on the men who made up the jury, but the men on the jury are consid- cred as good as could have been se- lected.
 Following the remarks made to the jury in the Sandy Smith case by Judge Miller a case against William H King. a negro, who was also tried for, a violation of the prohibition laws was
 ~f~N- tah Ad n nd given to a jury which, after being out n few minutes, rendered a verdict of guilty against the negro and assessed a fine of $100.

To a dozen questions put to Thomas Collier Platt today in his apartments. he wearily replied: T don't know" without opening his eyes or raising his head from the back of his arm. chair. But the. word friendship was an unintended goad. Quickly, and regardless of pain. the thin. shalxy legs straightened and the former Senator. raising his long, bony fingers to his beard, exclaimed: My God. don't ask me that You must not ask me that"
 Then. after apparently weighing his words as carefully as he used to be- fore announcing whom he would make a Governor next. he said:
 Those who ought to be my friends are not my friends now With just a touch of venom. he added: T will name them all In my memoirs"
 Now that he Is out of public life, ex- Senator Pfatt- does not seem to know what to do with his time. He Is still president of an, express company and spends two or three hours day in his ofice going through empty forms which already have been attended to.

 It turns out that the new and only Contrib uting Editor of the Outlook Is to conduct the humorous department of that journal.

YOUNG MEMS HAIR
strong Reasons Why It Should Be Carefully Cared For.

AyE0nK I&6akVAS z Carefully Cared For.
 Badness among young men Is get ting to be c serious industrial prop lem.
 In these days of keen competition when soulless. grasping corporations are demanding and getting the pest most vigorous and energetic men Tn the country. 1t Is well known fact that young men have the preference. and that many corporations have made it a rule to retire employees at forty five and fifty years of age, and to re- place them with younger and seeming ly more vigorous men.
 The baldheaded man at thirty -hve nowadays will have just as hard . time finding a desirable job as the man of fifty with luxuriant hair.
 For this reason alone. every man who cares anything for those depend ent upon him should take care Of his hair. Don't become bald or gray and old looking at thirty-five. forty or hfty' Take care of your hair and you can better take care of your job.
 If you have dandruff. look out. Your scalp Is full of little germs. digging night and day into the roots of the hair. and destroying that vitality with out which healthy hair Is impossible.
 Perhaps you will be glad to know that E. G. Fowler has a guarantee cure for dandruff called Parisian Sage. that will remove every trace of dan druff in two weeks or you can have your money back
 That's a pretty fair offer. isn't it? But let me go further and say that Parisian Sage Is also guaranteed to stop falling hair. itching of the scalp and to grow haar If the hair root be not dead.
 And the ladies of Montgomery ought to know that a large percentage of the beautiful women of America are using Parisian Sage. because 1t Is the most delightful, refreshing and invig- orating hair dressing made. It will quickly turn dull, lusterless and life less hair into luxuriant, soft and beautiful hair. The price is 50 cents a bottle from E. G. Fowler or by ex- press, all charges prepaid. from the sole makers in America, the GirouX Mfg. Co.,. Buffalo. N. Y. People who liI n Montgomery are sure of getting Parislan Sage from Montgomery. but in many towns cheap limitations sim liar in name are being offered for Parisian Sage. Look for the girl with the Auburn hair on every package.

order out Of chaos and to choose gen.
erals that were equal to their mighty
task.
AS soon as Mr.. Lincoln had made q
study of all the available books on
war he took more active part in the
direction Of affairs. His first great
mistake was in retaining Mcclellan
after that officer, admittedly a fine en-
gineer and organizer. but poor fighter.
had shown his incapacity or unwill-
ingness to accomplish results. Not un-
til Lincoln saw that Mcclellan was
bidding for the presidency did he final
ly make up his mind to effect change
Neglect. delay. complaints and almost
insults he had borne with exemplary
patience. Only when It was plain that
the general Of his chief army was more
intent on advancing his political for
tunes than he was on ending the war
did the president act. Later all his
moves in connection with the Army Of
the Potomac showed that he was hunt
ing for a general. Matters began to
mend. but Lincoln had not yet found
the man. Two commanders were tried
only to be discarded. Meade-or was it
fate?-won the battle Of Gettysburg.
but the president was bitterly disap-
pointed that the victory was not vigor
ously followed up and Lees army de-
stroyed before it could escape into Vir-
ginia. He felt that one bold stroke here
would have practically ended the war.
and in this most military authorities
agree with him.
Then Mr.. Lincoln found his captain
Placing Grant at the head Of all the
armies, he left him practically unham-
pered to complete the war. He exhib
tied his own generalship not only in
his choice of the man. but in turning
over to him all details.
MIR. Lincoln displayed his general
ship in many ways. He exhibited 1t
before the war In his manner Of con-
Quoting his political battles. While op-
demand all he had In view. His fight
i, was to stop the spread Of slavery into
the territories. He thus attacked the
foe at his weakest point. When the
, victory was gained on this minor de-
/ tail it was gained all along the line.
Again Mr.. Lincoln showed his gen.
eralship in his insistence that the war
! was to save the Union and not to save
| or destroy slavery. By this means he
kept the border states in the Union
and gained the support of the war
Democrats
His firmness in regard to Fort Sum.
) ter was third evidence of his tactical
ability Any weakening at that point
would have been fatal. Lincoln here
showed himself superior to Seward and
all the other vacillating temporizers
/ His unwavering attitude at this crit
ical time heartened the nation.
