ITCHING ECZEMA

Suffered Torments from Birth =
 Boils Formed as Big as Walnuts ~ -ln FrightfuI Condition and Could
 Hardly Work Tried All Kinds of Remedies to No AyaiI-At Last
WHOLLY CURED IN 8
 MONTHS BY CUTlCURA

"I had an itching, tormenting eczema ever since came into the world, and am now a man fifty-fve years old. l tried all kinds of medicines heard of, but found no relief. 1 was truly in frightful condition. At last my blood was so bad that I broke out all over with red and white boils, which kept growing until they were as big as wal nuts, causing great pain and misery. l thought they would take the skin of my whole body, but I kept from scratch ing as well as I could. I was so run down that I could hardly do my work. MT. Nelson R. Burnett recommended the use of Cuticura Remedies, telling me he was confident they would benefit and. in time, cure me. l used the Cuti- cura Soap, Ointment, Resolvent, and Pills for about eight months, and can truthfully say I am cured. cordially recommend Cuticura Remedies to all who are afflicted the same as was, be- lieving that, if they will use them according to directions, they will find them all they are represented to be. Any one doubting the truth of the above can write to MT. Burnett, who will cheer fully vouch for my statements.
 Hale Bordwell, R. F. D. 3, Cedar Corners, Tipton, Ia., Aug. IT, 1e07."
 "I cheerfully endorse the above tes- timonial It is the truth. I know Mir. Bordwell and know the condition he was in. He never tires of praising the Cuticura Remedies.

growth of our nation to it's present con dition of enormous material prosperity. But with all our wealth. he asked, ''are we unable to strike the letters from the limbs of our wortingmen?' To do this we must have education better than any one of the European nations is giving it's people. What is good enough for them Is not good enough for America with her enormous wealth.
 The speaker then outlined a great sys- tenn of national education by means of which knowledge would be brought to the door of every man in the land. Educa- tion is far more important to the country must have the best of secondary schools which will lead up to the state universi- ties. which in turn will lead to a great national university at Washing ton, where the brightest minds of the country may gather to pursue the highest learn ing. Such an educational system, said the speaker, can be inaugurated if the country will levy a progressive income tax which will fall principally on the multi-milionaires of the country In his scheme of taxation. all of a mans for tune over s100,000, 900 dollars would be at his death turned into fund for the good of the public. Such a law would not hurt individual effort.
 All of Dr. Craighead's lectures have been marked by strength, optimism and breadth of view.

GUNNER SCHOOL.
pr. craighead Delivers His Second Ad-
 dress.

University, June 16.-(Special. )-Yester- day afternoon before crowd that com pletely filled the tent on the campus, Dr. Craighead delivered the second of his lec- lures before the summer school, his sub ject being, "The Rural Problem. He said that one of the greatest questions before us at present is that of how to keep population on the farms. And 1t Is of vast import, for that nation which has the majority of it's people huddled in cities is in a dangerous way. There Is something in contact with the soil that keeps men vigorous, and were it not for the influx of country blood into the towns Of large size they would inevitably rot. The problem is before our country today; in New England there are hundreds of farms absolutely deserted; and now the cities of the south, with their wonderful industrial development, are growing at the expense of the country. It is all right for the country boy to go to the city-his thirst for knowledge draws him there-but the youth of the city must be given a touch of the open fields. As partial remedies for the evil, Dr. Craig head advocated the foundation of large high schools right out in the country, and the gathering together of farmers in small communities, so that they may not be entirely cut off from intercourse with their kind. In connection with his sub ject the speaker touched upon the build ing of good highways and the preserva- tion of our forests.
 This morning before the general assem- bly, Dr. Craighead gave a very strong lec- ture on "Education From National Standpoint" taking as his text the quo tation from Burke, Great empires and small minds go i'll together" As it is with empires, so it is wfth republics, he said.
 Dr. Craighead began by outlining the

BOND ELECTION
 CALLED JULY 20 People of GadSden to Vote on
 Bond Issue FOR WATERW0RKS PLANT Gadsden District Conference of Metho- dist Episcopal Church Is in ses- sion at Atlanta-Committee to
 Plan for Primary.
FOR WATERWORKS PLANT

Gadsden, June 16-(Special)- At a meet ing of the City Council last night the water works issue was again the all-ab- corbing topic. The syndicate owning the old plant made several new propositions looking to sale of the plant to the city or to the granting of a new contract to the present owners by the city. Neither oi the propositions presented met wi-h much enthusiasm on the part of the city dads and at this time It does not seem likely that an agreement can be reached.
 After 1t was ascertained that no definite deal at this time could be made the council proceeded to call an election for July 20 for the purpose of allowing the people to vote on the proposition to issue bonds to the amount of $125,000 in lieu of the GOO authorized heretofore for the purpose of buying the old plant or building a new one and also on the question of increasing the present tax rate one-fourth of 1 per cent as guar- antee for the payment of the inter est on such issue.
 If the people will vote these bonds and this tax increase the city administration feels assured that the long mooted ques- ton will be simplified and easy of solu- tion. As the people have twice expressed themselves as being overwhelmingly Tn favor of municipal ownership, it IS thought that the proposition will carry with a wide margin.
 The Gadsden district conference of the Methodist Episcopal church opened at At talla this morning with nearly a full at- tendance on the part of the members and with Bishop Morrison of Birmingham presiding. T. c. Banks of Attalla was elected secretary. Among the we'll known religious workers present are the following: Bishop Morrison of Birming- ham, Dr. Bannelly of the Woman's col lege, Montgomery; Rev. R. H. Archi- bald, conference missionary of the dis trict; Rev. J. O. Hanes, conference evan gelist of Anniston, and pr. J. H. Me Coy president of the Birmingham col Iege.
 The municipal executive committee will meet tomorrow for the purpose of fixing the date for the coming city primary. As all the candidates are anxious to have the matter disposed of at an early date it is probable that the election will be called for some time within the next 30 days. So far there are only three au- ounced aspirants for the mayoralty, but it is thought that when the primary is fixed several more will enter the race. So far there is but one who has an- Eounced his willingness to stand for al dermanic honors.

Heartburn Comes
 From the Stomach
This MaIady Is Wrongly Named-lt Is
 Indigestion.

The heart is an organ that people arc not inclined to trfe with, but person may have fiuttering of the heart, heart burn and similar troubles and yet have perfectly sound heart Nine times out of ten the disorder comes from the stom ach through dyspepsia, constipation or some other digestive ailment.
 So instead of taking "heart cures or other such things than contain stimulants and narcotics, take a harmless but effec- tive remedy like Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsn which will correct the digestive disorder and in that way cure the sup posed heart trouble. The remedy is guaranteed to do this, and you can ob- tain it of any druggist in 50 cent and $l bottles. As there are about 150 doses to the latter the cure will cost you but few cents.
 The experience of Mrs. Knight, of Bell view, Tenn, in this regard should be or interest to all who suffer from heartburn, etc She writes that for five years she suffered from indigestion and constipa- ton, from fainting spells, fiuttering at the heart and heartburn. She couldn't eat meat or anything seasoned with meat. Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin was recom- mended to her and after few doses the indigestion and constipation was relieved and the fainting spells and heart trouble soon ulSappedreu. SHe tdkes uo9o VI the remedy after eating and now never feels any i'll effects no matter what she eats Those who suffer in this way should do as she did and be cured.
 Chas Kearner, Lake Charles, La, says: q was afflicted with indigestion and heartburn for nearly five years, during most of the time taking medicine without obtaining relief until tried pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. I only used two bottles and am entirely well, can eat hearty meal and feel no bad results
 Pepsin Syrup Co.,, 312 Caldwell Bldg, Monticello, Ill. will send a free sample to any one who has never used 1t and will give it fair trial.

GOVERNOR PARDONS
 YOUNG CRIMINALS Girl Was Sentenced When Only
 Twelve Years Old OTHER PARDONS GRANTED w. w. ouarIes Disbarment Proceed Ing Is Before Supreme Court. Lane Will Run for Commis-
 sioner of Agriculture.
OTHER PARDONS GRANTED

Montgomery, June 16.-(Special. 1.-TWO very young criminals have been shown clemency in pardons just given out by Gov. B. B. Conner. One is Jamie Swan son, who was sent up for 20 years from Bullock county in 1906 for burglary, and the other Houston Gilmore, from Geneva, with a life sentence for murder. The girl was about 12 when convicted and the boy was under 1S Both had much pres sure brought to bear for release.
 In the case of the boy the governor said that while he seemed to have got ten into trouble at a dance, and as q result of whisky, which he in no sense palliated, he thought the young man ought to be given a chance to begin life again. He was sent up In 1901 and has, therefore, served good long sentence. It is said of the girl that she really did not understand the nature of her offense.
 Other than these the governor gave llb- erty to the following:
 Al Roberts, sent up from Jefferson county in 1897 for life for robbery. He has served many years and is old and broken.
 Ed Greer Tallapoosa county, sent up in 1899 for life for murder. The governor says that he seemed to have had strong provocation. He has made a model pris- onsr.
 Nelson Allison, sent up from Chambers county in 1908 for murder, the sentence being only a year and day. He seemed to have been forced to do as he did In defense of himself and his family, says the governor.
 Abe Mum, Lee county sent up for con- cealing stolen property for 10 years in 1S99
 G. W. Price, w S. McCarty and T. H. Harris were relieved of a bond forfeiture in Jefferson county, the prisoner having been caught and taken to trial.
 Convicts Released.
 In addition to those already mentioned the governor today pardoned six prison CTS and restored civil liberties In two other cases. In all he pardoned or pa roled 16 today. The last eight are the following:
 Henry Dawson, Sumter county, man. slaughter, convicted in 1906 and given three years.
 James Madison, Sumter county forgery convicted in 1906 and given three years.
 Harvey Williams, Colbert county grand larceny convicted in 1907 for 13 months
 Pink Green, Marengo county, second de- gree murder, 1902 sentence of 10 years.
 James Payne, Lauderdale county, con- victed in 1902, and given 20 years for sec ond degree murder.
 Charles Pierce, Shelby county, convict ed February p last, and given three months for riding on train.
