AGED NEGRO SHOT.
Driver of Grocery Wagon Waylaid fin
 Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa.
 Tuscaloosa, Nov. 2S.-(Seecial)-- Lewis Brown, a negro. SS years of age, was shot Saturday night while deliv- ering groceries below the oil mill south of this city. Brown had just about finished his trip and was returning to H. H. Bakers grocery when he was commanded to stop. He immediately whipped up his horse and [ load of buckshot penetrated his thigh. The frightened horse dashed off for the store, bearing the wounded negro. A few hours later Jork Slaughter and Kid Coleman. two young negroes, were placed in the county jail charged with assault with intent to murder. At first each laid the crime one upon the other. but finally Slaughter admitted that he did the shooting, saying that his intention was only to scare the driver. Their motive. 1t is thought, was to steal the contents of the wagon.
 The Jewish people of this city are making an effort to raise a handsome sum to be sent to the destitute Jews in Russia. Already $25o has been raised, and 1t is hoped that they will secure as much as. $500. The amount will be sent to Jacob H. Schiff O. New York, who Is Treasurer of the National Relief Committee.
 A number of the merchants here have decided to close their places of busi- ness all Thanksgiving. and 1t is hoped that the entire city will follow suit. On that day there will be a union ser vice at the Presbyterian Church, when Dr. Howard of the Methodist Church will conduct the service.
 The cotton crop in this section has about been ginned, and the round lap company as well as most of the gins have shut down. What cotton that has not been marketed is being held for higher prices. Even II cents does not seem to tempt the farmer.

PROTEST BY KOREA
HERMIT KINGDOM OBJECTS Tt
 JAPAN's DOMINATION.
Marauis Ito Declares. That The Exploit. ation of The Hermit Kingdom Fly Japanese Will Not Re
 tperufffed.

Paris, Nov. 2S.-The Korean minister Minister Min Yueng Tchan. will sal for New York tomorrow on the Kaiser Wilhelm IL for the purpose of pre- senting a protest at Washington against Japan's assuming authority over Korea. The minister says the protest emanates from the Emperor of Korea who cabled instructions .e present a protest to France and the United States.
 The American government has al ready been advised of Minister Min coming visit No details of the pro test are obtainable. The foreign or flee here has received protest ron Minister Min but has taken no actloh'
 The minister's advices say that Jap anese assumption of power was ac companied by a display Of armed forces and that the Emperor was treat ed violently. quarters indicates that there IS no III tention to act upon the Korean pro- test The officials point out that sev- eral protests from the same quarter have been submitted during the last few months.
 The official view Is that Japan's as- s,,mp,jon of the control of Korea was Inevitable and that therefore, while the methods have been harsh, yet the situation does not warrant the powers in intervening, since China and Russia' which are principally concerned, have s,,er mn by the treaties of Shimono- seki and Portsmouth, the right to in- tervene.
 Conseouently the French legation at Seoul will probably be withdrawn when inc French minister at Tokio is ralseo to the rank of ambassador.

Colbert County Planters in Better Fi- nancial Condition Than in Many Years.
 Tuscumbia. Nov. 2S.-(Special. )-At no time in the history of the Tennes- see Valley, at least for the past twen- ty-five years, have the farmers been as wholly independent as at the pres ent time. This season finds them more nearly out of debt and in better con dition than for years.
 In this immediate section most of them have made their annual settle ments. paid out in full, and have mon- ey in their pockets. It Is predicted that the mortgage business will be reduced from 200 to 300 per cent next year.
 Cotton sold on the streets of Tusv cumbia today at II IA cents, the high est price paid for the staple in this city for a score or more years Very little has been sold at a price less than 10 cents this season, and numerous farmers are holding for twelve and some for fifteen cents, which 1t is freely predicted will be offered before spring.
 Numbers of farmers are buying themselves homes out of their profits of this years crop, while others are lifting the mortgages. something they have not been able to do heretofore There is a spirit of cheerfulness de- picted in every farmers face in Col bert county.

hectares That Korea Will Not Be Ex- plotted by Japenese. Seoul, Nov. 2s.-Marquis Ito, in sum ming up the Korean situation, dwelling upon the trust placed by foreign pow CTS in Japan, by allowing that Gov ernment a free hand. the responsibility of Japan to the natives. and the fact that the peninsula would not be an El- dorado for Japanese spoilsmen, said to the Associated Press today: "various Irresponsible newspapers have greatly embarrassed Japan by writing of Korea as conquered state, where the Japanese were free to do anything irrespective of the rights Of foreigners and the natives, and that the Korean people were not to be con- sidered.
 "This has aroused suspicion among the Koreans.
 The Emperor of Japan sent me to Arrange a new treaty, to which the Elm peror of Korea has agreed, although the proposition met with some opposi- ton from other sources Although Korea has transferred her conduct of her foreign relations to Tokio. she retains control of her in- | ternal administration. We accept a great trust and a heavy
 responsibility and the foreign powers | consent to the new arrangement The American government has all ready announced the withdrawal of its | legation and others will follow, but America warns us not to abuse the ma lives. It Is probable that the Japanese will advise these in control of the
 Korean department of the government but they will not be connected with the management.
 "The Japanese government or its resident general will deal with ques- tions relating to foreign affairs but II Is not yet known who will be appointed residential General.
 However the Japanese who except that the coming of this representive will signalizs drastic or decisive meas ures for the explanation of this eoun- try. disregarding an sthe rights of the natives. VIII find tiemselves rnistak- en.
 we wish to benefit ourselves. but our greatest return will be derived from insuring the welfare of the peo-
 pie for whose destinies we now stand

DOCTORS WORE MASKS
WISHED TO CONCEAL IDENTITY
 FROM PATIENTS.
Story of Dismemberment and Disposi- ton of Body of Miss Geary fs
 Rehearsed Before Boston Court.

Boston, Nov. 2s.-The story of the dismemberment and disposition of the body of Susanna A. Geary, the Cam bridge chorus girl. was rehearsed in the Superior Court criminal court to- day. the second day of the trial of Dr. Percy D. Mcleod, who is charged with being an accessory to a criminal oper- ation.
 The principal witnesses today were Louis H. Crawford and William How ard, alias Hunt, who were arrested in New York; Emma Coulter and Sarah Griffith, nurses at the house in Win throp Street, Roxbury, where the Geary girl is said to have died, and Dr. J. H |. Petee of Roxbury. who testified that he had been called by Dr. Mcleod to attend a patient at the Winthrop Street house.
 During the examination of Hunt and Miss Griffith, 1t was brought out that Dr. Mcleod wore a mask to conceal his features when he attended patients at the house in Winthrop Street. Miss Griffith further testified that pr. Petee also wore a mask.
 Both Dr. Mcleod and Dr. Petee. Miss Griffith said. were masked while the Geary girl was conscious, but as soon as she became unconscious. they un- covered their faces and made no at tempt to conceal their identity. When questioned by counsel for pr. Mcleod, Miss Griffith said that the masks were not worn for protection but in order that the physicians fea- lures might not be seen by the pa tients
 It was brought out by today's wit nesses that Dr. Mcleod was a frequent caller at the house where the illegal operation on Miss Geary is alleged to have been performed. The testimony elicited that Dr. Mcleod did the out side" work. that he had no part in the illegal operation, but did attend patients upon whom such operations had been performed.

BABY'S AWFUL
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Sores All Over Face and Body, Could Not Tell What She Looked Like Unable to Sleep Grew Worse Under Doctors.
CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN ONE MONTH

A grateful mother, in the following letter, tells of another of those mar. velous cures by cuticura: When my baby was four months old her skin broke out with humor. I took her to a doctor, who said it was eczema. He gave me medicine to give her, but she kept getting worse all the time. Her little face and body were so covered with sores and large scales you could not tell what she looked like. No child ever had worse case. Her face was being eaten away, and even her finger nails fell of. Then it itched so she could not sleep, and for many weary nights we could get no rest: At last we got Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first bathing her In warm water with the Soap, and then spreading on the Oint- ment with soft cloths. saw change in a week. The sores began to heal, and she could sleep at night, and in one month she had not one sore on her face or body. Any mother hay ing children with eczema or humors will find a friend in Cuticura Soap and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary Sanders, 7oe Spring St., Camden, N. J., Aug. I4, 1904"
 The foregoing statement justifies the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment afford instant relief, and permit sleep for baby and rest for tired mothers, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure, when all else fails, in the most torturing, dis6guring, itching, burn. Ing, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and pimply skin, and scalp humors.
