completed his equipment for the role, for he was man of gigantic brain, heroic courage, sound judgment, in- vincible resolution-all harnessed by a controlling spirit of justice and fair ness tempered with generosity.
 We have said that he was a man of gigantic brain. because he looked with a constant and penetrating vision deep and wide and afar, and because he analysed and eliminated with a keen and true discrimination.
 HIS HEROIC COURAGE
 "We have said that he was man of heroic courage, not only because he was a man of unflinching physical and moral courage, but because he possessed that rarer quality-intellec- tual courage. He sought the facts the hard and stubborn facts-and he would not be led or turned astray from the lead of the light of truth. There was in him no self deception, no eva sion, and no easy drifting along the lines of least resistance.
 ''We have said that he was man of sound judgment, because he eliminated the trifles and irrelevants. and went straight to the heart of things, and because, when the process of elimina- tion was complete, he weighed the controlling facts with a poised and proportioned judgment.
 'eWe have said that. he was a man of invincible resolution, because when the controlling facts were in hand and weighed, his final Judgment crystal ized as it formed into an inflexible determination. He had faced the issues square1y, solved them soundly, ad- judged them finally-in order that there should be appropriate action. and it followed with him as of course to the very end.
 JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS
 ''We have said that in him all these splendid qualities were controlled by a spirit of justice and fairness. To him the law was the last effort of the continuing struggle of man to compel what was just and right and the inn perfection of it's methods did not cir cumscribe the majesty of it's spirit. Accordingly, the minor rules and tech nicalities of the law no more con cerned him than did trifling and irrel- evant facts. And he was fair. He asked no quarter, for he stayed always well on his own side of the line. but there was woe to him who crossed his own. Yes, he was just and fair even to the end of his resolution.
 And we have said that his spirit of justice and fairness was tempered with generosity. As an illustration we believe that no lawyer ever dealt with Mr. Percy without being made to trust him without reservation. And when doubtful questions arose. it was his generous spirit to resolve them against himself It was characteristic of him, done in spirit of mere cour- tesy and as of course, to give more than he asked, and to err in giving more. rather than less, than was due. His success at the bar was due not

ID DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss and
 Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Just a few applica- tions will prove revelation if your hair
 is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home. though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get 5o-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old time recipe improved by the addition of other
 ingredients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youth- full appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does 1t so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glos- sy soft and luxuriant

 NOT A MERE LAWYER
 ''Broad as are the fields of the law, Mir. Percy was not mere lawyer. He was a man and a student of affairs, and particularly of civic affairs. When the occasion demanded community ac- tion, whether political or civic, or ac- ton by the bar alone. Mir. Percy was in the lead-bold, confident, an auda- cious crusader if need be, persistent and compelling. No citizen of Birming- ham ever gave more thought, time or effective effort-and all without re- ward or expectation-to bettering its affairs than did MT. Percy. And no citizen ever received from the commu- nity a higher degree of admiration, q fuller measure of confidence, or a deeper sense of gratitude. With one accord he was our first citizen, and his community was both confident and proud in following and supporting him.
 "He was truly big lawyer, easily equal to every occasion and with tn- creasing power in reserve. To en- counter tremendous difficulties, but re-
 
 justly held first rank. In his private life he vigorously maintained high standards. In his makeup there was little room for foibles. Such as there were--and he was intensely human were just his playthings, and lost themselves in the shadow of his stat ure. By and large, he was man man who commanded our admira- ton by his strength and his courage and his force--a man who earned our confidence by his justice and gener ous fairness-a man who won our gratitude for his unselfish and effec- tive service to the bar and to the com munity.
 When Walker Percy died great and a kindly light went out.
 Therefore, be it resolved by the bar of Jefferson county:
 q. That we sincerely mourn the death of Walker Percy, and extend our sympathies to his family.
 s'2 That this appreciation of the measure of the man be spread upon the minutes of the circuit court of this county and of the federal court of this district and of the supreme court of this state.
 "3. That copy hereof be sent to his widow. and another copy to his son. our brother lawyer"

 Walker Percy was born in Wash ington county, Mississippi, November IS, 1864.
 "Mr. Percy's academic education was secured at the University of the South from which he was graduated with the degree of B. A. in 1883. He secured his legal education at the University of Virginia from which he was grad uated in 1885 with the degree of IL. E. "In 1886 Mir. Percy located in Bir min gham. began the practice of law and continued in the active practice until his death on February g, 19t7. Almost from the beginning he repre- sented large interests and his practice grew rapidly. For years prior to his death the practice of the firm of which he was the senior member was one of the largest in the state. in both volume and importance. Mir. Percy conducted his practice with marked success and was at his death one of the really eminent lawyers of the south.
 Nature cast MT. Percy for a major role. He was man of splendid phy- sique. commanding presence, dignifiel bearing, courteous and cordial man ners-witha1, a dominating and yet charming personality. And nature

I further believe that this district is exceedingly fortunate in having at the head of most of it's corporations men of ability, honesty, and broad vision. In fairness, I am in- clined to think that the best interests of our city and district are greatly aided by their presence in our midst
 "We, of course, realize that the pri- mary duty of the manager of any cor poration is to protect and conserve the interests of its security holders and employees along lines dictated by sound business judgment and prudence. It is strangely easy for us, however when free from financial interest and man agerialy responsibility, to attempt at least to dictate to others the course which they should pursue in the con duct of their business. It is strangely easy to stand upon a self-erected pe- desta1 and announce to the world the importance, the unself1shness and value of our ideas and advice.
 ''The right, however, of the owners of newspapers, and even the public, to condemn the corporations in our dis trict for conducting commissaries, on the assumption that it is an unfair inn position on their employees and the re- tail merchants, is so vague and uncer- tain as to at least demand fair, intel ligent and honest thought.
