LOST ALL HOPE IF
 CURING HUMORS
Member of U. s. Ordinance Corps
 HadSkin, Scalp, and Blood Trouble For Four Months Tried Various Remedies with No Lasting Effect Permanently Cured and Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
 ARE UNEXCElLED"

"About year ago was a sufferer from skin, scalp, and blood humors. For four months I used various reme- dies prescribed to me for their treat ment, but they gave only temporary relief and then the distressing blood humors were back as usual. I finally lost all hopes of getting cured of this ailment. But friend induced me to give the Cuticura Remedies fair trial. He had been troubled with the same disease and said he had been perma- nently cured by Cuticura. So 1 got the whole treatment, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and after 1 began the treat ment I could see and feel that it was a success. The Cuticura Resolvent is certainly of great value as it cleanses the system of all humor germs and makes digestion easy. 1 used two complete sets of the CuticEa Remedies and 1 can say this much, that l was perma- nently cured by them. I want to say further, that these Remedies are un- excelled in curing the worst forms of skin and scalp humors. S. D. Phillips, Ordinance Corps, U. s. A., Rock Is.

Gadsden, July 26.-(Special )-Reports from the towns on Sand Mountain stated that the entire section has epidemic of fever that is puzzling physicians and mak- Ing heavy inrods on the citizens. y A gentleman returning to the city to- day from q trip to Boaz and other places on the mountain says that there is hard ly d household or family in which some member is not i'll with this fever.

 DIES ON SCAFFOLD Approaches Death Without Ap-

 and Then Died.
MURDERER OF A. FINLEY

Montgomery, July 26,- Especial )-Calvin Coleman. the negro condemned for the murder of Austin Finley, white man, walked to the gallows this morning with steps that neither Jagged nor faltered. and without the slightest quiver of muscle. Then for the space of ten minutes he looked upon the crowd assembled to see him die and heard the brief service read and spoken for his souls salvation, made confession in voice that revealed not the least tremor and calmly went to his death
 For nearly an hour before the execution which had been set for 6:3O o'clock, the crowd began to gather about the jail There were officers of the law, and half dozen or more reporters and a small number of spectators.
 Shortly after 6 o'clock the sheriff ar rived, and then it was announced that the execution would take place at once, the condemned man was then at breakfast, having had served him plentiful supply of fried chicken eggs and coffee. Of these he ate heartily, apparently with little thought that he should eat not another meal in this life, with no visible fear of the doom that awaited him within such a short time.

ouching Incident.

One of the most touching incidents of the execution was when Calvin Cole mans father, the Rev. A. Coleman, mounted the gallows steps and bade his son goodbye. The aged father put his arms about his sons neck and kissed him upon the lips. Then, with eyes dimmed with tears, he grasped the hand of the doomed man, and spoke a few earnest words in his ear. Then he dsmounted the steps and stepped out into the hall. where he awaited the end.
 Calvin Coleman was sentenced to die o1 the galows for the murder of J. A. Fin ley a white man. The murder was one of the most brutal ever committed in this city, Finley's throat having been cut and his head and face gashed with a big knife.
 In order to avoid the morbid crowd, Sheriff Belser pulled off the execution early. There was general surprise when 1t was discovered that while people gen. erally were taking their final wink before arising the execution was taking place.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-27
Made a Confession.

Then Calvin Coleman was called upon for his last confession. In clear voice and without the slightest tremor in a sin gle utterance, he began slowly to speak:
 "Gentlemen," he began, T want to tell you all that I am not the guilty one" Then followed some words in which he implicated two white men, one of whom Is at present in the city.
 Continuing, he said: 1T believe I nm going home to rest, where you can't hang me any more. There won't be any hang Ing over there I hope to meet you all in heaven"
 Having uttered these words, the black cap was put over his head Sheriff Bel ser pulled the trap. It was 6:42 o'clock when the trap was sprung and Coleman's body slipped through the space At first there were a few violent contortions, and then the body relaxed. and there was only an occasional tremor in the black mass as 1t swung a few inches above the floor.
 Death was the result of strangulation. the neck not having been broken by the fall. At 6:55 o'clock the doctor pronounced Calvin Coleman dead, 13 minutes having elapsed from the time of his fall to the moment when his heart ceased to beat.
 The rope was then taken from about the dead mans neck. and the body was put into the casket. Then the crowd be- gan to file from the room, with few words on their lips, somewhat awed by the grewsome spectacle they had witnessed

Led Up Stairs.

Having finished his breakfast Coleman was led to an upstairs room in the jail where the gallows was placed Already the crowd had assembled, and hushed silence fell over the gathering when Cole man and his escort entered the room and walked towards the gallows. Through the same strained silence the condemned man ascended the steps on which the trap was set, and turning. faced the crowd in the brief respite then allowed him.
 Havink ascended the gallows, Rev A. J. Stokes. pastor of the First Colored Baptist church, who had been with him constantly during the past few days, began the short service. First he read the 23d Psalm and then offered a fervent prayer for the soul of the condemned man.
 In his prayer the Rev. Stokes prayed earnestly for his people, prayed that they might be delivered from the terrible drink habit from the habit of carousing, and that they might be led to find redemp- tion.

ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA.

Some of the European delegates had
criticized Brazil's unreasonable atti-
tude,' because Norway with over a.
million tons of shipping was satisfied
with one representative ON the high
court. while Brazil, with only 1000.
600, wanted more But the Brazilians
retorted that their country had Is, 900,

600. This statement was a surprise
even to those who had kept up on pa
per with South American progress, be-
cause the census of 1900 gave Brazil
only 1871 ,069 inhabitants. and it
was not realized that the population
had increased by nearly fifty per
cent in seven years. But the Brazil
ians insist that it has, and that their
country is more populous than Spain
or Turkey, not to speak of the Neither
lands, all of which are rated by the.

fancy in the state of Washington, and
in fact, throughout the northwest, be-
comes apparent when it is known that
trees average five boxes each every
season and that in many of the older
orchards, containing from 90 to 20
trees, it is not uncommon to harvest
from 10 to 20 boxes. The younger Or
chards are set with from so to 10S
trees to the acre. A thousand dol
lars gross the acre is not uncommon
in the western part of the Spokane
country, where apple-growing has as
sumed a commercial Importance sec
ond to none in the district. Forty
and 50-acre orchards, containing from
$500 to 4 800 trees, are not rare.
These are more than twice the size or
the biggest orchards in Massachusetts,
which has an orchard of LOO trees at
in New England. However, big or
chards are net the rule, as there is
money in five-and 10-acre tracts, which
with the practice of irrigation, have
been made heavy producers. Thous-
ands of acres of land tributary to Spo-
kane have been put under the ditch in
the last few years and thousands more
will be added as quickly as the ma
terial and men necessary to do the
work can be assembled. 1t has been
demonstrated that 20-acre orchard,
properly tended, under irrigation, will
net more profit than the 100-acre fruit
farm in the east. These small tracts
are being rapidly occupied by men,
who, while working in Spokane and
nearby towns, find time to care for
their orchards. During the three
years the twoyear-old trees are COM
ing into bearing, potatoes, corn and
other vegetables are planted and small
fruits are also raised, thescrops, in
many instances, more than paying the
first cost of the land. In other parts
of the state the government has in
stalled or is building plants to irrigate
thousands of acres of land, and it is
estimated by competent horticulturists
that before 1910 more than so 600
acres will be added to the commercial
orchards in Washington. While there.
have been good and poor years in the
history of the apple industry in the
United States, the records show the
export business has been one of grad
ual expansion.
