GIRL. TEAMS MEET.

The Montpelier high school girls
covered themselves with glory
by defeating the Goddard Sem
mary girls in closely matched game
of basket ball at the gymnasium,
Thursday evening. The game was
snappy and clean. only two fouls be
ing made throughout. A fairly good
crowd was in attendance from both
Barre and Montpelier and enthusiastic
applause was not lacking when baskets
were made by either side. The first
half ended with the score of tie to
6.
The Montpelier girls played good
game the second half and succeeded
in making two baskets and combining
their opponents to one, making the
final score 10 to 8.

pelier high school-Forwards, Stone

IN COUNTY COURT.

In county court the case of Terance
McKane V. Mari & Gordon pro-
crossed rapidly Friday. For the plain
tiff the following witnesses were
examined; Patrick Crowley, Matthew
Gavin, Joseph Harrigan, j. Hogan,
Gus Hanson, Daniel Harrigan and
Mary McKane, the mother of the
plaintiff, Most of the witnesses used
were. at the time of the accident upon
which this suit is based, employed on
the defendant quarry. The plain
tiff says he was sent by Robert
o Hearn. foreman of the quarry, to
drill out this hole. He asked if it
had been fred, he says. and was told
it had been. This the defendants
deny. McKane drilled for while
with a light hammer using water in
the hole, and then called a fellow
workman to strike for him with a
heavy hammer At one of the first
blows with that occurred an explosion
which is the cause, the plaintiff says,
of his present ill health. 1t appears
there were two holes near together,
loaded together, and intended to
have been fired together, but that this
one had missed fire while the other
had not. The tamping in this one
was intact. The defendants claim
that the condition of the tamping was
enough of itself to warn any man that
the charge had probably not been fired
and to be careful. They said that
calling striker was such negli-
gence on the part of the plaintiff as to
debar him from recovering even could
he otherwise.
Early on Saturday recess was
taken until 2 O'Clock Monday, since
witne ;ses were not at hand and very
good progress had been made.
County court started in Friday on the
case of Terance McKane v. Mari and
Gordon, The sudden dropping out of the
malpractice case of Angus Mcleod "
G.. l.. L. Hays, by reason of verdict
being ordered for the defendant at the
close of the plaintiffs evidence Thurs
day, took the lawyers by surprise, and
some time was needed to prepare the
above named case for trial A jury
was empanelled for it in the morning
consisting of f. H. Buckley and r.
G. Bulkley of Moretown, Ira II. Ed
son and Horace Hill of Marshfield, G..
@. Granfield of Fayston. Herbert H..
Long Middlesex, r. J. McMullen of
Duxbuiy, Bemis Pike of Cabot, Car
los @. Smith of Montpelier, S. S.
Smith of Pllainfeld, and J. J. Steele
of Roxbury.
This case was tried a year ago and
resulted iii disagreement of the jury
after an eight days trial. 1t was suit
| to recover damages for injuries re-
ceived by the plaintiff by the explosion
of a charge of powder which ha6
missed fire in hole on the defend
ants quarry he was drilling out. The
| plaintiff claim that he was told tt
drill out the holes and had no ides
that the charges had not gone off. BY
the explosion he was thrown shorr
distance, he says, and hurt his spine
so that he is now permanently Grip
pied. The defense relies on contribu
tory negligence of the plaintiff, and
also denies negligence on their part

NEGRO TALKS COMMON SENSE.
Prominent Educator Says His Race Is
 Not Prosecuted.

New York. February 13.-"rhe South and the Negro was the subject of a lecture in the First Reform Episcopal church by James F. Torbert assistant principal and financial agent of the Fort Valley High and Industrial school of Fort Valley, Ga, which is known as the Georgia "Tuskegee."
 He said in part: Slavery left us four million strong. Today we are about nine millions. It left us without home. but well schooled in the exercise of the mus cles and to some extent with the desire to initiate the white man. Our homes dot the hill tops and plains, all the way from Virginia to Texas. Slavery left us illit- crate, but with a passionate desire for knowledge and today we have two and a half million people in the public schools and thirty-five thousand teachers trained from the rank and file of the race.
 If we are denied political power for the time being which often flinders the sweetest and healthiest growth of the home, the power to do good has neither been taken away or abridged. We can plant our feet squarely in the soil and make the white agriculturist green with envy as he views our well-kept homes; our well-filed barns and our fruit grow ing and bearing full and plenty with each season of the year. When the white man prevents my race from buying and selling among ourselves, from teaching and preaching to the wayward, from re- ceiving and giving, from living and lov- ing. then they will have persecuted us. If they prevent none of these things, they prevent no progress"

Eczema, Erysipelas, Itching Piles, Tetter, Barber's Itch, Salt Rheum, Ring Worm and all diseases of the skin have positively been cured by the astonishingly effective new Q. D. D. prescription.
 If you have any affection of the skin you want to be rid of 1t. Don't think because you have failed to be cured by the countless blood remedies and skin prepara- tions you have taken that you can not be cured. The makers of these remedies have simply failed to understand the nature of skin di- seases. They haze worked on the theory that skin diseases are due to poisoned blood, when in reality all skin diseases are but inc manl- fssiatiOn of inc activity of a living foreign parasite, which can he quickly and easily cleared away.
 Results count. We have made thousands of wretched people happy by clearing up their skins, once and for all, of disgusting irritating diseases.

See what a citizen of your own section says:

For over six years l suffered terribly with a burning, itching Eczema, covering my hands, wrists and entire face. l would rather die than pass through the suffer ing and torture that l underwent. I was in such a condition that I could not read, write or sleep; my hands and eyes were so swollen and painful. l was totally in capacitated for any business. I spent hun dreds of dollars with doctors and skin specialists, anointments and blood medi- cines. I tried every Eczema salve and remedy ever heard of, with no marked Improvement; was discouraged and lacked faith in doctors and all remedies. A friend, Capt. J. J. Cowen, advised me to try D. D. D. Eczema Remedy. l did SO, snd as a Specific for the cure of Chronic Eczema 1t certainly proved a wonder. The first application stopped the itching and burning; the second improved me so that l could sleep and rest comfortably which l had not done for long time. After using it for thirty or forty days the Eczema entirely disappeared, the swell ing and redness went away and my skin assumed it's normal white condition. It is now three years since I was cured, and there are no signs of it's returning.
