COBALT TO WORK WONDERS.
Discoveries Will Reduce Automobile

Discoveries Will Reduce Automobile
 Battery Weight One-HaIE
 Asheville N. C.. Special
 Thomas A. Edison who has been here on a prospecting tour, says he has made some wonderful discoveries of cobalt and says: T will reduce the weight of storage batteries in auto mobiles fifty per cent and the cost of trafflc in cities ffty-five per cent"
 Mfr. Edison. Frederick Ott, John Mil Ter, two experts on minerals from the Orange N J., laboratory and John Morris a battery expert. left New York city May 1s in two large White Steamer automobiles and came direct to Western North Carolina. They were equipped with a camping outfit and as- savers apparatus, and have been into the rural districts since their arrival here. Mir. Edison has given out the following interview today:
 There is a streak of cobalt running from a point just east of Nashville. Tenn, Into this State, and I must add that some of the richest beds I have found have been in North Carolina My discovery means a revolution In the electrical world. It can be seen very readily that more automobiles and electrical vehicles will be built be- cause the cost will be placed within the reac hof many people who cannot afford to own them now.
 The electrical vehicles have been under A great handicap because of the very heavy storage batteries we were forced to put in them, and also on account of their high values. When can equip an automobile propelled by the Cobalt system, the weight will be onehalf. thereby giving the new ma chine an enviable advantage over the ones now in use. and when the price Is reduced so as to place them within the reach of everybody, 1t means that the horse is a thing of the past.
 T have left force of men in four counties in this State where I found the mineral and they will make thor ough Investigations as to the quantity to be found. They will report to me. and I may possibly return here later in the summer and further investi- gate my discoveries. I am fully confi- dent that what I have found here will enable me to start out on the work of new vehicles propelled by cobalt bat teries Most of the cobalt now known to the scientists of the world Is found in France and Australia. and American industries are hampeTed because of the distance 1t Is from the manufac- tories"

SCALY ECZEMA
 ALL OVER BODY.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
 CURL BY CUTlGURA

"I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the low limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickiy heat. But soon scales or crists formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician, I purchased complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, m which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only little lower: but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti- ctra Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It Is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of return. l have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as l always keep them with me; prooaoiy one half dozen of each.
 stI decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies a trial after had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment dld no good. So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them. When they began using Cuticura Rem: edies her face was terribly disfigured with sores, but she was entirely cured, for I saw the same child at the age of five wears. and her mother told me the eczema had never broken out since. l have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything l know of. am, respectfully yours, Emma E; Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. l, 19O6.

 As the number in attendance upon this war college is necessarily limited the honor Is esteemed of high value in army circles. Young Wiley is a handsome, dashing. magnetic fellow. ex- ceedingly popular among his brother officers and is justly regarded as a typ ical soldier.

TWO Big COLONIES.
SALVATION ARMY TO ESTABLISH
THEM IN TEXAS.
CONTAIN 1000 FAMILIES
People Are Taken From Crowded Cit
les, Started on Farms and Required
to Pay Out in Time,

San Antonio, Tex. The national of
flcer5 of the Salvation Army are plan
ming to establish two big colonies in
Southwest Texas during next year In
formation has been received by the
local officers that committee repre-
senting the national organization will
visit Texas within few weeks to look
over the ground and begin negotiations
for the purchase of proper sites. The
Gulf coast country is favored on &C
count of its climate and the diversity
of its products
In each colony it is proposed to set
tie not less than 1000 families. The
land for the colonies will be purchased
by the national officers for cash from
the national reserve fund and will then
be sold to deserving members on easy
terms. Great care is taken in the Sc
lection of the colonists. They must be
sober, Industrious and ambitious
Healthy, robust men and women with
large families are selected from the
crowded cities and sent to these colo
MES and given an opportunity to earn
enough to pay for their own homes
While these colonies are established
by the Salvation Army and a general
supervision is kept over them until
the purchasers conclude their final pay
ments every man must shift for him
self, and when he pays the money due
the army the home becomes his to do
with as he likes.

POWELL FOUND GUILTY.
JURY CONVICTED HIM OF MUIR.
DER OF MILDRED coNDlTT.
Jury Given Charge at 1880 .. m. and
at 2:4O Returned-Powell Maintains
He Is lnnocent-WiIl Appeal.

Victoria, Tex: At $3.50 Wednesday
morning Hon. A. B, Pettlcolas began
his argument in behalf of Felix Powell,
who is charged with the murder of Mil
bred Condltt, who was slain in cold
blood with her mother and three lit
tie brothers in Jackson county, Texas,
on the 2Sth day of September, 1905,
and at 2;40 p. m. the jury brought in
verdict assessing the death penalty
When court adjourned last evening
District Attorney G. 10. Pope had CON
cluded his most able and forceful
opening argument for the State. When
Mr. Pettcolas took up his line of ar
gument in behalf of Powell it was APP
parent to all that he found himself
travelling uphill with a heavy load up
On his shoulders, defending young
negro man 80 years of age charged
with lust and crime. Doubtless it was
painful duty to this old, able and
distinguished senior member of the
Victoria bar to find this burdensome
task imposed upon him without his
own act or volition.
Although confronted with volume
of circumstantial evidence, supported
and supplemented with the suspicious
conduct Of the defendant on the day
Of and after the murders, and also to-
gebher with the admission made to &C
completes by defendant, that he, with
Monk Gibson and Henry Howard had

NO TRIAL OF GIBSON
CASE CONTINUED, OWING TO THE
OPERATION OF LAW
EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE.
states Attorney Says II Is Possessed
and He Does Not Want to Jeop-
ardlse His Case.

Victoria, Tex: When the case
against Monk Gibson, co-defendant
with Felix Powell, charged with the
murder of Mildred Conditt, was called,
J, v, Vandenberg, ESQ., one OF the at
torneys for the prosecution, made the
following explanation to the court
The prosecution is fully prepared
and anxious to try the case against
Monk Gibson, but at present there is
legal obstacle in the way Of a trial
dlat can not be overcome by the State
The defendant is charged in three
separate counts in the Indictment:
l. AS a principal acting together
with Felix Powell in the murder of Mil
ured Conditt
2. AS an accomplish in the murder
Felix Powell being the principal
3. AS an accessory in concealing and
giving aid Felix Powell after tho
commission of the murder.
Article 80 of the Penal Code pro-
vides that where defendant il
charged as an accessory, the person
charged as principal offender, If un'
der arrest, must be first tried, and the
word tried" as used in this statute
has been interpreted by our court OF
criminal appeals, in the case of Kings
bury VS.. the State, reported in S7th
vol. CT Rep 259, to mean not Only
trial of the principal, but also that
final Judgment and sentence must
be pronounced against him before one
charged as an accessory can be put on
trial.
Therefore, while Powell has been
tried and convicted and Judgment of
conviction entered, no final sentence
can be entered until after the time al
lowed by law within which he may file
motion fora new trial, and until tho
same is acted upon by the court, and
IL oyed1uled and an appeal is taken to
the Court of Criminal Appeals, no sen.
tence can be then entered until after
the determination of the appeal by that
court, and the mandate fled in the
court below,5and of course sentence
OF the affirmance by the court of APP
peals Of the Judgment of the court be
low.
The prosecution is firm in the be
lief that the evidence in its possession
is sufficient to warrant the conviction
of Gibson as principal offender in
this murder, but is unwilling in any
wise to hamper the States case by dis
missal of charge against this defend
ant as an accessory. Their ore nc
other course is open than permit
this case to await the passil Of tho
final sentence against Felix ! 5ell
Both the State and the defeie an
nounced ready for trial, BIT for the
reasons stated, the court orc cred the
case continued by operation of law
There was no alternative open to Tho
court under the law.
