Th Alabama Le.i- ature s en s to occupy first place just now as the nursery of new i eus in legis lation. The bill to regulate wom en’s skirls has been followed by a bid to legalize mtird- r. Representative Pitts has iu'ro duced a bill providing that in the trial of a man for killing ano lur proof of the victims intimacy with a female relative of the slayer shall be accepted by the jury as a justification oi extenuation of the crime. Th- limit < f the justifica tion shah be the third degree of kinship. Mr. Pitts defends his bill on the ni l mud that the law is now nullifi ed by the unwillingness of juries m convc l in cases involving t’>e dis honor of women, and by providing a 'egal basis for aequitia l in such cxses there will be no nullification of tl e law in the verdic s. In oth er words, his bill is i t rnded o put the law in line with public sentiment >n the State, vh ch in variably controls he action of ju ries. There can be i que?don c the fact upon which ie trs ■. 1 is based. No only n Alabama, but throughout the '■< u h and West and, perhaps, in varying degree i'l over he United States, ihe de cisions of juries in murder cases are affectet by the consideration ■ f grievances in which women are involved In many States the proof that the killing was commit led in defense of the sanctity of tl eh>meor in resentment for an injury affecting the honor of a fe— mme relative assures acquitta'. P ,blic sentiment sanctions such Killings and the law is of no affect Bu »*<a se ijte law is of no af eet in these particular cases should the State to obviate one evil fly to a grt-aur ami nullify th? whole purpose of law and by yielding to citizens he right of private redress of injure s by death undvr certain circnmstances? Shall it make the cj'.izens in a paiticu'ar class of wrongs the judge and executioner of his offender? The aim of social progress is t" rai-e pub ic sentim-mt to a high standard of justice and self-re straint, but the effect ot this pro posed law wou'd be to lower th standard of justice and law io the level of an imperfect sentiment If the law cannot Control it may educate public opinion. It is high ly probable also that a law of this kind would be utilized to ccver crimes commit led from other mo ives 'ml its practical a fleet would be to legalize foul murders. There can hardly beany ques tion dial less evil wou d flow from the occosimal nullification of laws by juries than from the j istifica ton of crimes that juries are in clined to excuse by law After ad, the favorable verdict of th-- jury i- nothing more than a waiving of the law because the jury believed the a s t to have been extenuated • r justified by circumstances. —St. L ui?

It fur nishes the desired strength by puri fying, vitalizing and enriching the blood, and thus builds up the nerves, tones the stomach and regulates the whole system. Read this: “I want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla. My healt h run down, and I had the grip. After that, my heart and nervous system were badly affected, so that I could not do my own work. Our physician gave me some help, but did not cure. I decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could do all my own housework. I have taken Cured Hood’s Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and they have done me much good. I will, not be without them. I have taken 13 bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and through the blessing of God, it has cured me. I worked as hard as ever the past sum me. n nd I am thankful to say I am well.

Griffin, Ga., Dec. B.—Will Mc- Clendon, living at vineyard, three and a half miles North of here, had a fight with a negro in which both were seriously and perhaps fatally hn-t. Young McClendon went after a load of wood this mo ning. The it gro cursed him roundly while he was getting his load. Be‘or« starting after another the young muu armed himself, as the negro had threatened him if he returned. The negro advanced upon Mc- Lendon with an ax, striking him on the head just over the left eye. The blow felled him, and while he was down the negro struck him again, cutting the left breast. Mc- Clendon got his pistol out and used it with good effect. The first shut took effect in the negro’s left breast, just under the heart, while another entered his head above the left eve. The negro is dying, while hut small hopes are entertained for McClendon.
