"A scab formed on my baby's face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it be- came SO bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month g treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure.

Reer Capacity RuIned.

Louis Gurber, a Philadelphia musi- elan, sued a street railway company for injuries sustained through the de- railing of a car. He wanted $5,0O0. On the stand he declared that previ- ous to his injuries he was able to drink fifty or sixty glasses of beer a day. but that now the best he can do is less than twenty. The court inquired grave ly: Would that be claimed as an ele- ment of damage?" Gurbers coGpsel thought it ought to be, and apparently the jury thought so. too, for the plain tiff was given a yyerdice of $1,000 on account of his reduced eapaeIty.

TWO FIRE ALARMS.
Department Called Twice But Loss
 Was Insignificant.

Was Insignificant.
 The Montgomery Fire Department had two calls yesterday morning. both of which were trivial in consequence.
 At 7:S5 o'clock, an alarm from box IS, corner of Heron and Dickerson Streets sent the department to the frame house at 319 Clay Street, occu- pied by Jim Turner, a negro, where sparks from a chimney had set fire to the roof. The department made a quick response and used chemicals with good effect on the blaze. The damage did not amount to much.
 At S:2O o'clock, just as the firemen had returned to their respective. sta- tions. a telephone alarm conveyed the information that barn fin the rear of Dr. S. NJ. Hogan's residence, de- stroyed by fire Thursday afternoon, mad burst into a blaze after shoulder ing for some time. The firemen had but little trouble in extinguishlng the fire and there was practically no dam age.

LET CHINA ALONE.

The announcement from the State
Department that the Chinese Boy.

ed, will be received with more assur
ance by American exporters when
the Chinese themselves show It by
commencing to order more goods. Mr..
WI Ting Fang, who is given the
credit which he persistently disclaims
of having organized the boycott,
probably ices now that 1t is in good
working order, that as a measure of
coercion with the American v
ment in connection with the new Chi
nese treaty. 1t was getting a little
too much advertising. The American
government would a great deal rath-
er be jollied than dubbed into
given course Of action, and the boy.
colt has certainly assumed big stick
proportions. The statement from
The department that 1t is being raised
does not exactly tally with the other
reports in the press that it is
spreading and especially that the
merchants In the Straits Settlements
where China does not pretend to
sovereignty, have not been able to
get American -four because they had
to depend for their supplies on Chi.
nese merchants who would not hand.
lie American goods. Our trade with
China is estimated now at about $780,.
100000 annually and that is a pretty
large slice of trade to lose. At the
same time the people of the Pacific
const would rather put their hands
IN their pockets for that amount than

ufacturers under them. But 1t is
stated in the Department of Labor that
the American goods initiated in the
Oriental markets are the most spu-
rious sort OF limitations, SO bad in fact
that they spoil the market for genu-
Inc American goods where 1t pre-
viously existed. The most of this i'm.
itating is done in Japan where the
manufacturers are perfectly willing
to let American goods take the odium
that attaches to cheap and shoddy
substitutes. American exporters ev.
erywhere are warned to have their ex.
ports to China labeled in Chinese
characters as well as in English. But
IL the boycott is to be enforced, as It
seems from all official reports, prob.
ably the exporters in this country
would better turn their attention to
the Philippines in their search for
Oriental trade and let China take
her own time in coming round.

THEY DIDN'T |

We were informed last Saturday
by a local daily paper that mot less
than 1000 people would file into the
County Court room and there unfold
their troubles concerning the reas.
sessment," On the coming Tuesday.
That Tuesday came yesterday but
the 1000 people failed to file. Less
than half a hundred had been in with
petitions up to two o'clock today
and the our shows no concern about
any impending danger. AS a matter
of fact, the court is now preparing a
notice to be sent to various parties
to the effect that their assessments
are 90 low. More of this kind have
been found than those too high and
such notices will be SEN out in a few
days. The real taxpayers of Ma.
rion county are highly pleased with
the new laws and nobody expects the
dodgers to be. 30 what's the differ.

1t is hard to keep from making
mistakes even when we have the best
Of intentions. 1t seems to us some
boards of education have not acted
wisely in fixing salaries in accordance
with the new uniform examination
laws. Reports have come from eve
al counties which show only a slight
difference In salary for first and sec.
ond grade certificates. For instance,
one district in Barbour county pays
$40 per month for a teacher holding
a first grade certificate and s3S per
month for n holding a second grade.
This difference of two dollars is not
a sufficient incentive to induce the
second grade teacher to make the
proper effort to become a first grade
teacher. Our notion is that there
ought to be about ten dollars differ.
ence between the first and second
grade salaries. In the Barbour county
case we think 1t would have been bet.
ter to have made the first grade sal.
airy $45 and the second grade, s35.
or course 1t takes time to work these
things out, but school boards ought to
be careful and make as few mistakes
as possible.

"The average man not interested in

are to reach an agreement cannot be

Would Close Eastern Mines.
Il know that the anthracite opera.
tors will not grant some of these de.
mands. This will tend to close down
Eastern mines. Already they are
stocking up coal, which they can do
to advantage. We in the bituminous
field cannot stand to be handled like
hard coal. But, Of course, we will fll
our docks and barges and be prepared
for the worst II It comes.
The consumers have been getting
their coal too cheap. The stockhold.
