He was ex- haustively examined on cross examna- tion and the redirect
 The testimony of Mr. Cooper related largely to technical subjects and the character of the work done by the de- fendants in the improvement of the Sa- vannah harbor under the contract of 1892
 The most striking feature of the evl- | dence of the engineer was that the gov ernment had paid 95 cents per yard for mattresses, that cost the contractors but g cents. The work was done under his supervision so he desired. he said, to state he had absolutely nothing to do with matters of cost. He did not know until six months after he became identified with the operations that the government was paying as much as it was for the mat tresses that were being sunk in the river.

 Something like this sum is distributed weekly in Ensley now and the people of all classes are rejoicing over the pros poets for continued activity of this kind All departments in the local plants are running on full time and increased out puts are being reported almost every month in many of the departments.
 The employees in the nail mill of the Southern Steel eompany's plant, which was destroyed by fire several weeks ago, have been retained on the pay rolls and are employed in other departments of the plant and in the work of clearing away for the rebuilding of the mill.
 At the time of the destruction of the mill it was feared that these workmen would suffer from lack of employment and that the city would feel the bad effect but the company graciously retained every man on the pay roll and found employ ment for all.
 It is believed that the mill will be ir operation again within a few months and 1t has been announced by the officers thai
 the new mill will be much larger and have greater capacity than the one destroyed
 by fire.

"CUTICURA TREATMENT
 IS A BLESSING"

Then it broke out on my limbs. l was advised to use salt and water, which l did, to no effect. then went to Surgeon, who commenced treating me with wash of borax. This treatment did me no good, but rather aggravated the disease. then told him would go and see phy- sician in Erie. The reply was that l could 80 anywhere, but 8 case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that was too old (80). l went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Cu- ticura Remedies often. 1 was strongly tempted to give them trial, so sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvsnt and continued taking the Resolvent until had taken six bottles, stepping it to take the Pills. was now getting better. 1 took two baths day, and at night let the father of the Soap dry on. l used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. l am now cured.
