scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf- fered 10 Years - Completely
 Cured by Cuticura.

When 1 was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs I scratched them with a brass pin and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had
 been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time on- ward l was troubled by such severe itching that, until 1 became accus- toned to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This
 would stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accom- pany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctors in my native coun- ty advised me to use arsenic in small doses and a salve. I then used to bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In ad- dition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, -'s Salve, - Ointment, and in fact I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than one or two boxes or bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. I used -'s -, but it did no good. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment having previously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it. After using three boxes I was completely cured and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suf- fering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure. I shall be glad to write to any one who may be interested in my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer million, s. Dak, Aug. IS, 1906."

 STATE CONNECTS.
 The best method to be adopted for the management and employment of the con- victs of the State is one that is always attended with more or less difficulty. Whatever method is pursued 1t should Ee the purpose of the State. so far as possible to see that the convicts are humanely treated and properly fed and clothed. That their labor be not brought into competi- ti0n with free labor, and that they be made self-supporting. The leasing of con victs to private persons or corporations has been so often condemned by the people of this State and has so often been the fruitful source of cruelty and corruption as to render it's discussion unnecessary. The system should be permanently aban- doned at as early date as practicable, In my judgment the penitentiary ought

 ROADS AND HIGHWAYS.
 Closely connected with our educationa. interests is the need of road improvement throughout the State. This is conceded by all and it's great importance in our progress and development is self-evident. We all agree that the best possible method for their improvement should be adopted, consistent with our financial condition, and the needs of our people, but in whatever additional legislation you may deem wise to enact care must be taken not to unwise- ly increase the burden upon the public treasury. Under present laws much pro- gress has been made in the improvement of the roads in many sections of the State, and the people in a great majority of the counties have willingly caused to be levied the road tax and almost without excep- tion where monies thus raised have been wisely and economically expended, the sys. tenn is growing in popularity. In this con nection the employment of convict labor upon the road work, has been the subject

HARSH RULES AGAINST TOBACCO.

Strenuous efforts have been made in times past to stamp out smoking. Among the rules of an English school in 1929 it was laid down that "a mas ter must be man of grave behavior. neither Papist nor Puritan, no haunt. CT of alehouses, and no buffer of to- bacco.' In Turkey, where the pipe is now omniprestent. former sultans make smoking a crime, and offenders were punished by having their pipes thrust into their noses, while in Russia royal edict ordered the noses of the smokers to be cut off.

Novelist's Early Earnings.

A pocket series of MT. Thomas Hardys stories is to be published soon, and lately a complete edition of his books in 20 beautiful volumes was issued in America with success. When MT. Hardy took the manuscript of "Under the Greenwood Tree" to the late MT. Tinsley that enterprising pub fisher offered the novelist the sum of $125 down for the book. Mr. Hardy accepted the sum, although he owned that he was ia bit disappointed, add ing that nevertheless he meant to keep on." Next came his book "A Pair of Blue Eyes" for which MT. Tinsley gave the novelist $500, saying: There is no money in the book, but I can see that Hardy is going to get grip some day"

CONCLUSION

In conclusion. I feel that it is not i'm proper for me to say that l am proud of the condition of our State: that I am proud of her achievements and the history which she has made since I have had the honor to be your chief executive. The du- ties that have assumed as such have been arduous, and at many times seemed greater than I could perform but with one single object in view, which was to serve as best could the people who have honored me, l have made a record to which l feel my children in after years may point with just pride and with no feeling of shame or dis grace. Arkansas to-day is in condition financially of which few of her sistss States can boast. When I became yoGf Governor we owed $64,O00 in bonded in, debtedness. This has all |, been paid, The magnificent public buildings, which I have enumerated heretofore in this message. have been erected; our State institutions have been handsomely maintained; our ob. jects of charity have been bountifully pro- vided for; taxation has been reduced and never in the history of the State has such prosperity prevailed as prevails today. And l quit the service of my people in this capacity, feeling and trusting that they will see something of merit in the admin istration which I have given them.

NEWSPAPER AND STAMP ACT,

At each session of the legislature, since I have had the honor of being your Gov ernor, either by resolution or bill, agitated by the newspapers of this city, large sum of money has been attempted to be ap- propriated to purchase a large number of daily papers and supply the members with postage. Whenever this matter has been presented to me I have uniformly vetoed it, for the reason that l believed it cOnficted with that section of the Constitution which provides that your salary shall neither be increased or diminished during your term of office. To give to each member of this Assembly twenty-five cents worth of pos tage daily, or any other sum of money more than is necessary for what may be termed the incidental expenses of the members in sending out their ordinary mail, is, in my judgment, in conflict with this provision of our Constitution

EXCISE AND PRIVILEGE TAXES.

I would suggest as one of the means of increasing the general revenue of the State, the increase of the license tax on liquor dealers, and the levy of a privilege tax upon corporations doing business in the State. This will work no hardship on corporations, and place a part of the taxes where they should be.
 Corporations after procuring their char ter pay no annual tax for the privilege they enjoy under their charter This tax might be levied on a percent basis upon the cap ital stock or by the levy of a direct sum so apportioned as to be uniform in it's oper- ations.
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-01-18

At common law corporations were char tered for a specific and definite purpose. They could not be authorized to do any act not witn,n their charter provisions, and were limited to singeness of pur- pose. would therefore suggest that sections S37 to S71 of Kirby's digest be amended so as to limit the charter prOyi.

SWUNG HIS HOOK sAvAGELY DOWNWARD
years old and built like a man of iron.
became suddenly crazed as result OF
too much rum. Darting out OF his
lodging house, 60 Summit place, he ran
almost to the waters edge, shouting at
the top of his voice.
Near the foot OF Hamilton street he
seized bale hook and stood his
ground, mumbling and shrieking In his
Swedish dialect and brandishing his
weapon.
Robert Stevens, thirty-five years old.
living at 435 Columbia street, was the
first TO get near him.
Anderson knew OF Stevens prowess
and evidently did not relish n combat
with his powerful frame. He had
enough sense left to know that he'd
have better chance I'm the water with
Stevens, who is six feet tall and mus
cular. so Anderson Jumped In the river
carrying his hook with him. Stevens
followed. He dived directly where An
derson's form was last seen.
No one knows Just what happened
under the water. Several persons who
gathered on the pier say that every
few seconds an arm or leg would ap-
pear above, and once Stevens face
arose. showing great cash down the
right side. Once Anderson reached
the surface and swung bis hook saw
agely downward. A stiffness followed,
and only bubbles showed that life re-
mained below the water. In few
seconds Stevens came up and feebly
cried for help.
Charles Walsh, who had arrived dur.
Ing the struggle and was vainly try
Ing to learn the cause of the excite
ment, jumped In. He found one OF
Stevens hands clutching the Swede by
the neck. Anderson was unconscious,
and Stevens was fast losing the little
strength that remained. Walsh tied
rope about Anderson's body. and he
was pulled ashore. Several men Jump
ed into the river and dragged Stevens
TO safety.
Stevens face and head were n mass
OF cuts and bruises. Blood poured pro-
fusely from a deep cut In his face,
and his arms and shoulders were
barred OF their clothing. Anderson
showed effects, too, OF the fearful con-
test under water. His faco was bat
tered and bruised, and both his eyes
were closed.
An ambulance OF the Long Island
hospital was called, and both men
were given medical attention. DR..
Doyle said that Anderson may die as
result OF his injuries.
Stevens told tho police that The man
bit and gouged him with the hook
and that several times he was about
to give up. He says he oyercame An
derson only by wrenching the hook
from his hands. Anderson without the
weapon was no match for him.
