REST AND BEAUTY
 CLOSELY RELATED

Gymnastics, massage, diet and toilet preparations may do much to aid the woman who seeks beauty of face and figure. but none of these things can at all compete with restfulness." So spoke a lady who has benefited greatly by her habit of avoiding worry and fatigue. Complete rest" she said, lis a splendid thing for restoring the tone, but that need only be resorted to in extreme cases. Our aim in everyday life should be to take little spells of rest between our tasks, or even while engaged on them. Reading, sewing and many other pur- suits afford scope for rest. First, rest lessness and fatigue are the chief causes of pinched looks and pale faces. The ex- tent to which fatigue will make a woman appear prematurely old is simply marvel ous It is all a question of nervous force. know at least one lady whose appear anee varies from that of a youngish, good looking woman to that of a sour faced and elderly one according to the state of her nerves. Rest and restfulness- nothing can equal them as aids to health and beauty. They smooth out the wrin- kles in the face, round the outlines of the body, keep the skin soft and the com plexion fresh,"

MANY CAPITAL CASES.
Busy Session of Court at La-
 fayette,

fayette.
 Lafayette, Sept. M.-(Special.)- )-Circuit Court, which has been in session for the past two weeks. adjourned Saturday af- ternoon about o'clock. Several murder cases were tried. The docket of capital cases was the heaviest that this county has known for years. This is partly ex- plained by the fact that no court had been held in the county since last Sep tember. Only three or four cases. besides the capital cases were tried.
 Monday the case of John Denny, a prominent citizen of Milltown, charged with murder in the second degree, the deceased being a negro. was tried, and resulted in a verdict of acquittal after the jury had deliberated for a few minutes. Mir. Denny established a plea of self defense and the negro killed was shown to be of desperate character and at sev- eral times he had threatened the life of Mr. Denny.
 Tuesday the case of Rich Bowen, col ored. charged with murder In the first degree, was tried. The verdict was man. slaughter in the first degree and the pun ishment was fixed at Imprisonment in the penitentiary for five years.
 Wednesday the case of Luke Ogletree, charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of John Potter at Lanett was taken up and consumed all of We'd nesday and Thursday. There was quite an array of witnesses in this case. The case went to the jury about o'clock Thursday afternoon and about o'clock the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
 An indictment was pending against Ogletree for murder in the first degree, charging him with the murder of Zachry. After the acquittal in the Potter case, So- licitor Brewer mol pressed the zachry case
 Friday morning the case of Bill Philips. charged with murder in the first degree was taken up. He was charged with the killing of Will Owens at Langdale last spring. The case consumed all of Friday and Saturday. and went to the jury at o'clock in the afternoon. After being out for two hours the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
