CURED BY CUTICURA
 AT COST OF SL25

"My head was one mass of scabs, my forehead was covered down almost to my eyebrows, and had to wear my hat all the time. My body was covered with spots in size from pin head to as large as silver dollar. A white, crusty scab would form and ih h, and words cannot express the torture and humiliation suffered for fifteen years.

A friend told me to get Cuticura. did, and in three days my head was as clear as ever. I ap- piled the Ointment night and morning, also taking hot bath three times week, and using the Ointment freely after the bath. After using one cake of Soap and two boxes of Ointment I was completely cured, without mark or b1emish. was so pleased I felt like running down the street to tell every one l met what Cuticura had done for me.

MARSHAL TAYLOR
 |S UNDER ARREST Charged With Killing Maxwell
 at AdamSviIIe PARIS MAKES STATEMENT Father of Young Man Who Wac Killed Thinks the Coroner Re.
 leased Taylor Without Suf-
 fcient Investigation.
PARIS MAKES STATEMENT

D. L. Taylor the marshal at Adams vile, who shot and killed will Maxwell in saloon at that place last Thursday night, and who was released after an investigation by Coroner Paris, was re- arrested yesterday morning on war rant sworn out before Judge H. B. Abernathy. He is in the county jail await ing preliminary trial which win likely be given him Thursday or Friday of this week.
 After shooting Maxwell. Taylor sent word to the county officials that he was re dy to surrender. A little later he came to Birmingham for this purpose. On Fri day the coroner made an investigation and ordered the release of TaAlor on the grounds that he shot Maxwell in self defense. Taylor stated at the time that he had to kill Maxwell or be killed himself.
 D. K. Maxwell, father of Will Maxwell. the young man who was killed. says that th- coroner released Taylor before hear ins all the testimony He claims that the coroner heard only the statement of | Taylor himself before ordering the re- lease.
 When informed of this Coroner Paris made the following statement:
 T was unable to go to Adamsville at the time of the killing of Maxwell and as Taylor had surrendered and was in jail l deputized Justice of the Peace Bur ton of Adamsvile to take the testimony in the case which the law allows and to send 1t to me.
 "Mr. Burton did this and on the testi- mony secured in this way I ordered tho release of Taylor. The father of the dead man had an ororunlty to so before the justice of the peace making the investiga- tion and testify. They also had the right to swear out warrant for the man. TEey had ample time f)r this before Tay- Tor was released as he remained in jail uh.il the day after the shooting
 ''- could only be guided in my acts by the testimony submitted and that clearly showed that Taylor acted in self defense l feel that I have done my duty in the metter. though I dmit that the father has the right to have Taylor re-arrested fl he has evidence sufficient to authorize the act"

WATER MELONS BY
 THE GAR LOAD
PRODUCE MARKET IS STEADY, WITH SUPPLY ADE0UATE-THE PEACH CROP IS sHoRT-ToMA. TOES ABUNDANT.

watermelons are coming on Norris avenue by the carload. Early as the season Is the market is supplied almost to surfeiting.
 Produce dealers predict an unparalleled melon crop. Cantaloupes are not con- signed so freely thls week as last, though the supply is sufficient. Prices are a little stronger.
 The peach crop Is general estimated one-third short. but dealers on Morris avenue say receipts are very satisfac- tory. The stock Is fairly choice, and on the whole the peach season promises to be very satisfactory. Last summer peaches become a glut on the street and prices at which the fruit was sold hard ly covered the cost of production and handling.
 Apples are coming in from Georgia.
 Tomatoes are the vegetable most in evidence now. The market is supplied from Alabama and Florida. Cabbage and Irish potatoes are coming on the avenue pretty freely. Sweet pa.atocs will be on the market in a week or two.
 Poultry is rather plentiful and the stock is very choice. Prices are holding up firm. Eggs are steady at l5c. The egg trade is supplied largely by local territory, though shipments are also re- ceived from neighboring states. Later ou eggs will come here fro~e the west and north and from the large cold stor- age plants.

PERFECT PAVING BLOCKS
 FOR HIGHLAND AVENUE

terday, .beeause I propose to put down a pavement here equal to that winch we have laid in New York City. It is un- doubtedly the best paving in the world when properly put down. Althousa we do not expect to make any money out of the present contract in Birmingham. we propose to lay perfect pavement. and we believe when the citizeds sse it and use 1t, they will adopt 1t in paving many of the other streets of BTmirg- ham. I regret that the Southern Cteosot- ing company should have by mistake shipped some defective blocks hare, ba. you may be assured that none O. these blocks will be used. Nothing shai be par down but first grade blocks.
 You know we have guaranteed this paving for ten years. and you may be assured that it will be done at once and in the most perfect manner.'

university on Clinch Mountain, within
less than a days Journey from Birming-

inquire about Banba Green. They wish
to know something of the cabin uni

of 1t.

thousand illiterate children live in the
mountains of Eastern Tennessee. AS
for that matter there are over few
