being that the people would vote their
party ticket. il mattered not what
the character of the ticket might

drawn from this statement is that.
the mass of the members of that
party will have no voice in the selec
ton OF the nominees, as is usually
the case with that party in this coun-

guilty of anything and a conviction

The case attracted much atten-

surprised at the ruling of the court.
There was hardly any other course
for the court to take

MRS. THOMAS AND FOUR CHILL DREN HAVE A REMARKABLE EX- FERENCE DURING HENNEGER STORM-NEWS OF GADSDEN.

Gadsden, November 20.-(SpeciaD The Rev. Ira F. Hawkins, the Methodist min ister who was at Henneger, the little town on Sand mountain when it was destroyed by the fearful cyclone Sunday morning, gave some additional details of the great calamity today. One of the most miracu- lous escapes from death, said Rev. Flaw kns was that of Mrs. Thomas d widow, and her four little children, ranging from l to 10 years of age. When the cyclone came, the mother and her children were sleeping peacefully in one bed. The roof of the house was lifted completely off, and the remainder of the residence was crushed to splinters.
 By some strange play of Providence, the bed on which the family lay was lifted bodily by the wind and carried distance of seventy-nve feet, and was set gently down in the middle of the road the moth CT and all the children escaping without a scratch. Every piece of clothing, eX- cept that on their backs, and all the household goods were carried away.
 The Methodist parsonage, at which MT. Hawkins was spending the night, had a large stone chimney in the middle, which served as an anchor and kept 1t from be- ing blown entirely away. A number of large oak trees in the yard were torn to

Black SpIotches All Over Face - Produced Severe Itching Years Treatment by Physicians Did No Good and Became Despondent- Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever Alabama Lady's
CURE BY THE
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced severe itching irritation, and which caused me great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thor ough examination of the dreaded com plaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of ono year, but the treatment did me no good.
 Finally I became Respondent and decided to discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my husband in read- ing copy of a weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. l continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. l have not felt symp- tom of the eczema since, which was three years ago.
 "The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well; and l have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and I don't hesitate in saying that the Resolvent is the best blood medicine that the world has ever known" Lizzie E.
