olive oil has been used as a remedy

why it has fallen into disuSe in these

Today massage creams are fashion,

denied that they fully understood the

no food so valuab bic or so easily digest

INTERESTING ADDRESSES MADE AT

Discussed Feasibility of Cotton Ex- ehanEe-Hankers VIII Lend On Cot~
 ton.

Birmingham, Oct. 1.-(Special. )--A meeting of the warehousemen of the Farmers Cooperative and Education al Union was held today and the handling of the coming cotton crop was thoroughly discussed. pr J. F. Dun can, the president of the Union in Alabama was selected as chairman of the meeting.
 Col. J. M. Thornton of Talladega delivered an address for two hours and more. He told the farmers that they must be honest and deal fairly with all men: that they must handle their cotton on business principles, selling to the highest bidders and having cotton graded and weighed just what it claims to grade and weigh. He spoke of the feasibility of handling cotton through the warehouse system. saying that there was no doubt in his mind but that the banks would lend at least 75 per cent. of the value of cotton properly stored in Q good ware house and potected from fire loss by insurance.
 At business meeting of the Union the matter of purchasing a large quantity of fertilizer was taken up and bid submitted by manufacturers and dealers were investigated. A cotton exchange. for the sale of the cotton grown by the farmers in Alabama di- rect to spinners, was opened today. A produce exchange will be opened later, the Union proposing to assist he far mers as much as possible.

RICHARD orr FREED
CLARKE COUNTY MAN DID NOT
 KILL WIFE.
Five Justices of the Peaee Sit at Pre- iSminary Hearing of . Farmer
 Held in Thomas

Thomasville, Oct. 1.--(special)-- Richard ott, a well-known farmer was given a preliminary trial here to- day on a charge of having murdered his wife and after an allday session Of the court, at which five Justices of the Peace sat, Ott was discharged.
 It will be remembered that on Sep- tember 19 the remains of Mrs. Ott were found in an unused we'll on her husbands premises In Tailahattan beat, about twelve miles west or Thomasville, and that a coroner's jury, empannelled by Justice Arthur Cassity, rendered a verdict that she came 10 her death by having her throat cut with razor by some one unknown to the jury.
 It seems that Ott was not satisfied with the verdict and before the re- mains were buried another Justice or the Peace, one Goodman, empannelled a jury, whose verdict was that Mrs. Ott committed suicide by cutting her throat with a razor and then drowned herself in an old well.
 Some one swore out a warrant for the arrest of Ott, charging him with the murder of his wife, and the trial was set for October 1st. There were five Justices of the Peace, Trawick,
 
 Goodman, overstreet. smith and Cas- sity. sitting in the case About fifty witnesses were sworn in, some for the defense, others for the State. The State was represented by Hon. Jesse V. Boyles and Hon. Norman Gum. while Messrs. Poole and Davis repre- sented the defendant.
 pr. Jackson. brother of the dead woman, occupied a seat with the States attorney. The onlookers filled the entire space of the town hall.
 Despite the fine legal talent and a whole day of sensational evidence. the Justices decided that there was not enough evidence to hold Ott to await the action of the grand jury.
 The testimony showed that 1t would have been an impossibility for Mrs. Ott to have jumped into the, we'll. Planks, which covered the we'll, had been taken up and put back after the body was thrown In.
