CASE
OF ECZEMA
Troubled Badly for Several Years
With Eczema on Limbs and
Wrists - Physicians Prescribe
Without Any Benefit : BIotches
Now All Gone.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

"For several years l was troubled
badly with an eczema on my limbs and
wrists. Physicians in several towns
had prescribed for me without giving
me any results. l had often used
Cuticura Ointment and received relief
temporarily. In the springof 1904 took
the Cuticura Resolvent Pills and used the
Cuticura Ointment for about five weeks,
and at the end of that time there was not
blotch on me anywhere. This spring |
took a few walls of the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills as a precautionary measure, and
will continue to do so every spring simply
as a spring tonic, as they are so easy
to carry with you, and they certainly
fix your blood for the ensuing year.
/ now use only Cuticura Soap.
"The Cuticura Ointment and Pills
certainly cured me Of an aggravated
case of eczema, and if it will help any
other sufferer you are at liberty to use
this letter. Respectfully, St. Clair Nc
Vicar, San Antonio, Texas, July 6, 1905"

NO DAMAGE AT

After the severe wind and rain storm,

there, little property damage was done

The above was a special to the Nash
vile American, but the Associated
Press dispatch to the same paper in
cludes Columbia in the list with an
appropriation of $65,0OO for a post
office building. This Associated Press
dispatch is evidently correct and it
looks as if Columbia is destined to
have another valuable improvement
The Herald wired Congressman Pad

DR.. w. K Sheddan was the first wit
ness examined this morning. His tes-
timony was that he had read the let
tiers by request; it was several months
ago; he could not recall, and did not
think they contained the passages in
dispute. The impression the letters
made upon him was that the writer
was greatly infatuated or madly in
love with the lady, and was in deep
sympathy with her for having to live
with such a man as he thought her
husband was. and wanted her to leave

Counsel for the State, began speak

and forty minutes Mr. VOORHEES, fol-
lowed the evidence in the case very
closely and made strong, earnest and
at times eloquent presentation of that
side of the case, and was given the
shall not attempt to give the argu-
ment of counsel in full, but merely
synopsis of the more important and
striking expressions,
Mr.. VOORHEES, said the duty before
him was an unpleasant one; he had
the most profound respect for the
father and uncle Of the defendant, and
great sympathy for them in this hour
of trouble He could not but regret
also, that a young man. capable of
better things, reared in a christian
home and advised and counselled by
christian parents, should have waded
through their prayers and tears, step
by step through crime, until now he
stands before jury of his coun-
try, charged with one of the gravest
offenses in the catalogue of crimes.
He had never heard case, he thought,
where the State had made out strong
er case of unbroken proof, or one
where the weakness of the defense
was more apparent. The defendant
introduced himself to the jury, in loca-
ting himself that night, as being,
where trouble usually starts, in a sa-
loon; and when he left that saloon at
the closing hour, and at the bed time
hour, where did he go? To his home?
To the anxious parents, waiting, watch
ing, praying for him? No; he went
to another place, not much better, a
public pool room. And when he left
there did he go home. Oh, no; he
went out of the door of the hotel and
on to the steps, and there he saw the
man he hates and whose life he want
ed, and he turned and went back in
the house and out another way in the
direction of that mans home. Where
was he going? For a book? Then
why did he stop, once, twice or three
times? Why was he found standing
in the retreat of doorway by Mere
dith King? Why did he wait there
until he saw the prosecutor coming?
Why did he stop at the Farmers &
Merchants Bank where the two police
men saw him standing. not passing.
Once before, in the open daylight, he
had met this man for whom he was
now waiting; that was under the noon
day sun; then he fell upon him and
knocked him down and beat him: but
he did not kill him: did not get full
that time; he was still
living. and the old malice was still
lurking in his breast; he wanted an
other trial at it; and so he goes where
he knows his victiH must come on his
way home, and/there in the dark,
where none will see or modest, he
would make his vengeance complete.
Down under the shade of the trees;
not only away from the sun. but away
rom the electric light, there's where
want you; and when they met the
first words he spoke were, now I've
got you; don't move" here in the
night: here in the dark; they wouldn't
let me beat you to death before, but
now I've got YOU" But, gentlemen
