GADSDEN STREETS
 ARE TO BE PAVED
PLANS ARE MORE EXTENSIVE THAN AT FIRST ANNOUNCED. UNslGHTLY WOODEN POLES TO BE REMOVED.

Gadsden, May H.-(Special)-At a spe-
 cial meeting of the City Council last
 night definite action was taken in re gard to the much talked of street paving. The plans as now outlined are on a more extensive scale than was at first pro-
 posed. Besides the principal business streets, a number of the more important
 residence streets will be greatly improved and sidewalks built, according to the new
 municipal laws governing such matters. If the proposed plans are carried out, Gadsden will be one of the most beauti-
 fully paved cities In the state. Engineer Julian Kendrick of Birmingham has been
 ordered to make the plans and specifica- tions at once so that there will be no de- lay in beginning the work.
 The City Council through the street committee has ordered the telephone. tel egraph and electric light companies to re- move unsightly wooden poles from the streets in the business section and replace them with steel poles. Ninety days is the time given for the removal and re- placing of the poles.

ITCHING RASH
 LASTED 18 YEARS
Baby Girl Had Rash Behind Ears Nothing Would Drive It Away It Spread and Grew Worse Under Specialists Care Tried Every thing Without Avail.
CUTICURA REMEDIES EFFECTED PERFECT CURE

"When my daughter was baby she had & breaking out behind the ears. The doctor said that she would out grow it, and 1t did get somewhat better until she was about fifteen years old, and after that we could got nothing that would drive it away. She was always applying something in the way of salves. It troubled her behind the knees, opposite the elbows, back of the neck and ears, under the chin, and then it got on the face. That was about three years ago. As we had tried everything that we could hear of without help she took treatment with a specialist and seemed to get worse all the time. We were then advised to try the Cuticura Remedies, and now I don't see any breaking out, and we are well pleased with the results, and I will cheerfully recommend the Cuti- cura Remedies to all that may need them.

The warmest counties were those of the east-central part of the state, and Montgomery, Autauga, Lowndes, Dallas and Wilcox. The mid day and afternoon temperatures on the 14th, 18th and 18th were moderately high almost normal, but on the ofher days they were much lower than is customary in the latter half of May. The nights were all cool; those of the 18th, 16th the 16th-17th, and the 17th-1Sth were especial ly cool. On the early morning of the 17th light frost was observed in exposed localities of Cherokee and Lawrence counties.
 There was only one general rain; it began on the late afternoon of the 14th and continued intermittently into the forenoon of the 18th. This rain was ex- cessive over large areas, and in all coun- ties except Baldwin and Mobile the amount of fall was much in excess of the normal fall for the entire week. Tho greatest amounts occurred in the west- central counties. while the lightest fell in the extreme southern part of the state. In various localities lands were badly washed and all streams rose very rapid ly. Only in the west-central counties, howeevr, did any of the streams reach flood stage, and all were falling at the end of the week.

 Was Alabama Man.
 H. W. Taylor, who was shot by J. A. Tapley, policeman at Jackson, Miss, last Friday, belonged to one of the most prominent Alabama families, having been reared at Selma, where relatives, includ- ing a sister, now live. His mother is now a resident of Brewton. this state, and is well known for her many charit- able deeds The dead man is well re- membered by number of Alabamians, who have seem him from time to time.
 Tapley, it is recalled, claims the un- written law on the dead man, alleging that he was discovered in an attempt to disturb the relations of his family. There is much feeling over the matter at Jackson, the dead and the live men having friends. MT. Taylor was chemist and had a good reputation among his as- sociates. It is regretted by all that he has met an untimey death.
 It is thought that he may have been misunderstood ard many hope that in the end this will prove to be the ease The friends of the dead man are at work at Jackson to see that the best of atten- ton is paid his memory, several Ala bamians having sent words of cheer and encouragement to those at Jackson.
