DR. AYERS LEAVES
 FOR CHINA MISSION
After Spending Year In America He Goes to Resume His Work at
 Hwang Hien.

Anniston October 12.-(Special.) )-Dr. and Mrs. Ayers, accompanied by two lit- tie sons and daughter, left this morn ing at 6 o'clock, via Montgomery, for Seattle, Wash, from which place they sail on the Minnesota on October 20 for Hwang Hien, China, after having been in America about a year.
 Nominally on a vacation, Dr. Ayers has been really constantly busy in the inter est of his work, the Warren Memorial hospital, conducted under the auspices of the foreign mission board of the South ern Baptist convention. He has raised something like $5OO0 for the erection of a new ward and for the equipment of the infrmary.
 While en route to their oriental home. Dr. and Mrs. Ayers will touch at Homo lulu, Kobe, Yokohoma and Nagasaki, Japan They leave the Minnesota at Shanghai, whence they proceed to Che foo by way of coast steamer. The jour ney from Chefoo to Hwang Hien, about ,as far as Birmingham is from Anniston. is made in two days by means of a "shentz" an ndescribable contrvance, somewhat like a mule litter The over land journey necessitates a nights lodg- ing at caravansary, or inn, and the con- sequent encounter with "Chinas mil- lions"
 When pr. and Mrs. Ayers made this overland journey five years ago the Box CT uprising had just been suppressed, and it was necessary for them to be accom- panied by a guard of Chinese soldiers, un- der the advice of Consul John Fowler at Chefoo. Letters say that Shantung pro- vince is very quiet this year, however, and no trouble is feared on this journey.

TORTURED BY
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Suffered Tremendous itching Over Whole Body Scratched Until Bled Worse at Night, With Soreness and Excruciating Pains A Western Lady's
WONDERFUL CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Last year at this time suffered with tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, un- til 1t spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so 1 suffered the torments of the damned, and had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until 1 bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until l was as sore as could be, and until 1 suffered excruciating pains. l did not know what it was, and resorted to number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap. They told me then that 1 was suffering from eczema. Then 1 made up my mind that l would also use Cuticura Oint- ment and Cuticura Resolvent. l used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved. l continued until well, and now am ready to recommend the Cuticura Rem- edies to any one who suffers as did your obedient servant.

The flames burst out of the fue and appeared for some time to be quite threatening. The fire bell was rung, and the children marched out of the building in regular order, while Professor Tidwell and sev- eral larger boys by strenuous efforts sue ceeded in stopping the fire.
 Mayor Scott spent part of yesterday at the school house overseeing the install lation of steam heat in the annexation of two rooms which have just been made, and the repairing of the old furnace. Pipe connections will be connected with the main building and the same plant will furnish heat for the two new rooms. Children have suffered some from the cold weather, but all improvements will be finished in a few days.
