OFFICERS RETURN
 WITHOUT CAPTURE
C. w. BlLLiNGSLEY, WANTED IN OKLAHOMA ON ILLEGAL IL
 ouoR SALE CHARGE.
Friends of Man Wanted Say He Has Made Good Bond For His Return and Will Go Back voluntar-
 fly Soon.

Oklahoma officers who have come here for c w Billingsly, have re- turned without taking him.
 Mir Billingsly had been charged with the illegal sale of liquor ip Oklahoma, and it is said there are several indictments against him.
 One deputy sheriff came here for the man about a month ago. but the deputy had both hard luck and gort luck. He became quite ill almost immediately after his arrival, and he found that Billingsly instead of prov ing troublesome. was most hospitable The deputy was well cared for until he improved sufficiently to make the return trip home.
 Another deputy was sent and th.ft deputy reported to the sheriff's oN flee. He was introduced to Billings'y, and it was said agreed to wait until March ?. to act, and for that favor in waiting was to have Billingsly ac- company him back to Oklahoma with out the form of a requisition.
 On the date the deputy and his man were to leave, the deputy report ed to the sheriff's office that he and Bilingsly had become separated and that he could not find his man He searched for some time, and falling to connect, left the city.
 Friends of Billingsly say that he has made sufficient bond in Oklahoma for his return at the praper time, ana that there is little doubt of his doing so.

The Maurice offers you these d
Every Bath Room

has individual vapor, shower and douche. giving yon all the requisites of the bath In the privacy of the bath room.
 After your bath you retire to a bath ing lounge, a room 40x40 feet where the air Is dry. fresh and clean It is scien- tific fact that germs win live and travel in moist air indefinitely while in dry air they will not, consequently the Maurice has supplied a bathing lounge entirely separate from the bath room, following the European custom in this feature and you are not inhallng the exhalations of hundreds of sick patients taking baths as is the case where you bathe and sweat in the same room. The same idea is car ried out in our hot room, the air being dry and clean and changed every ten minutes.

Hattiesburg (Miss.) News: Lawyers
are more to blame for miscarriage of JUS
tice in this country than jurors are, and it
is time the press was putting the blame
where it belongs. The duty of a
lawyer to his client is truly and fully per-
formed when he sees that he gets fair
and impartial trial under the law and has
justice melted out to him. But there is q
class Of lawyers whose special line of prac-
tice is to defend the guilty; and If they can
cheat the law and clear guilty man, the
guiltier he is the smarter they think them
selves. 1t is time they and not the juries
were getting the blame for non.enforce-
ment Of law and miscarriage Of justice in
this country.

valor. His hair is silvered and his voice is
golden. He is tall, straight man, with
the true patrican Southern face. He did
not take long to warm the hearts of his
auditors. =.
He had scarcely been introduced intro
duced by Col. Schoonmaker, chairman of
the Pennsylvania Commission, than the
band crashed into "Dixie" and from all
parts of the vast tent came thousands of
yelIs. Gen. Yovng stood erect until the
demonstration was over. All the others
had read their addresses, but not so Gen.
Young. He spoke from the heart and he
spoke extemporaneously. He said:
Il am half thousand miles away from
home, but all the same am at home. This
is my home, this country of ours, America.
''There can be no better guarantee of
the perpetuity Of this nation than this as
semblage to-day. 1t is the birth of the
new America.
1--WE love our country not because of
the great war, but because of what has
happened since the war. 1t is not only an
American, but world wide message, this
spectacle of two hostile armies meeting as
brothers on the field where they killed each
other.
'sFor this splendid spirit you men Of the
North deserve more credit than we of the
South YOU"
From all over the tent came cries of
"No, mol" from Union veterans, for all
were in generous mood. Gen. Young
waited for the cries to stop.
81 say yes," he said. 81 know better
than you. You inaugurated this great re-
union movement, we men of the South only
had to come to it. Thank God you didn't
ask US to come with apologies or regrets
for what we have done. If any Confed-
crate veteran comes here with regrets on
his lips, his uniform should be stripped
from him.
"Nor do we ask you to come with apol-
ogies. Principle was involved and you
fought for it, and We fought for it. We did
not lose because we were wrong. We lost
because the North had more men, more
money, more resources. But not more
courage. Thank God we had plenty OF
that.
"You men of the North had your great
generals. your Grants, your Meades, your
| Sheridans and hundred others, but we
| believe that Robert E. Lee, soldier and
statesman, was the greatest production OF
humanity.
| "And we had Stonewall Jackson, that
sanity warrior who wrestled in prayer
You cherish yours; we'll cherish ours
These memories of ours! we love them
more than life itself.
| "We come here with mistaken faith in
our cause. We wouldn't come any other
way and you wouldn't want US to come any
other way. We wouldn't be brave men il
we did. Don't put this down, Mr.. Officia
Stenogra pher, but we did our derndest.
and angels could do no more.
"We're here, we of the South, and We
are Americans, and We are here to tell the
North so, and to shake hands and let the
dead past bury its dead. We are alive anc
We are all brothers of common blood
and We'll fight for our country and die fol
it gladly. That is the South's message te
the North.
Il expect you'll say that's an intensely
Southern spirit, but that's the kind of spiri
l know. To get anything here in Gettys'
burg you have to be either a Governor Of
Gray, and the Grays are getting more
