INSTANT RELIEF OF ITCHING HUMOR
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw Feet Too Swollen to Get Shoes Sleep Completely Broken
 by Intense itching and Burning We'll in Two Days and Says That
CUTICURA IS AMONG
 HIS HOUSEHOLD GODS

God bless the man who first conn- pounded CuticGra. Some two months ago I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that had to split my drawers open to get them on and could not get my shoes on for week or mora. used five or six diff ferent remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was worse and the itching less. One morning remembered that had bit of Cuti- cura and tried it. From the moment 1t touched me the itching was gone and have not felt a bit of it sincs. The swelling went down and in two days had my shoes on and was about as usual. only wish I had used the Cuticura Remedies in the first of my troubles. They would have saved me two or three weeks of intense suffering. Dur ing that time did not sleep an hour at q time, but was up applying such remedies as had. Henceforth the Cuticura Remedies will be among my household gods, rest assured. George B. Farley, 50 South State St., Concord, N. H., May 14. 1907"

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1908.

A man over in Anderson. s. C.. claims to nave invented and perfected a bot tie which cannot Be reflled after be- ing emptied. and some of the papers are making considerable 'miratiop. over It. but The Augusta Herald doesn't see 1t that way, and thinks the inventor has not completed his work. "If," comments The Herald. The could invent a bottle that could not be reflled he could also invent one that could not be emptied. The two propositions be- long together; they are the positive and negative sides of the same ques- lion. A bottle that should partake of the nature of the widows cruse and always be full. no matter how much was drank out of it. would be an in- vention that would mean something. It would Fevolutionize the world and make men think the millennium had come when there should be no more thirst" Would not such bottle be an inestimable boon to thirsty Georgians just about this time? We can faintly imagine the delight of one of them if he could be supplied with an always fuli bottle loaded with frst-class mint juIeps Yum. yum! Let the American genius try once more.

 Oddly enough this Is the date set for the return of John P. Hopkins from Europe. Pessimists among the Bryan men last night saw in this fact more poets increased of a bitter fight be- tween the element in control of the state organization and those not in control.
 Hopkins has always been the ponti- cal twin of Roger C. Sullivan. SulIi- will give solid delegation to Bryan. but in, case Hopkins comes home and lines up with Johnson all the talk of harmony will vanish and the Bryan men will set forth to vanquish Sullivan. All this was conveyed in the speeches made last night at the Briggs House where the Bryan committee met bee hind closed doors.

Somebody has evidently been looking sourly at The Butte Inter Mountain, "The sour man." 1t says. "is like the scold, he needs a ducking stool. He needs to be rudely awakened. Without contributing his share of hardihood and sunshine to the battle of life. he seeks to deprive the hardier and sun nier of what happiness they may wrench from fate. There are occasions on which the sour man ought to be soundly slippered."

nriti.h Drink. Insnire.

British temperance people have re- ceived severe shock from the govern ment analysis of some of their favorite soft drinks. Out of the 4.loo samples examined 3.0Ss contained more than ? per cent of alcohol. The chief offend CTS were ginger beer. herb beer. sar- saparilla and other fuzzy varieties. The alcohol they contained was not intent ional but due to natural Fermentation. Some of the samples were more intox- icating than beer and contained as much alcoh ol as claret. A child drink ing a pint of ginger beer got as much alcohol as 1t would have If 1t drank half pint of champagne. It appears that the only thing that will not fer ment Is plain water.

The Itinerary.


 Governor Conner. Auditor Brandon and State Superintendent of Education Gunnells were in Linden lest Saturday and spoke to the people in the court house. We have no report of tue speeches We presume Brandon and Gunnclls spoke 1n education and high schools. but we hear that Conner frotfi- ed and foamed and said his fight on the railroads had only begun. We suggest that since the Supreme Court of the United States has practically demolished. the Conner railroad laws that the people would naturally think the Governor. was chasing shadows. This ostensible high school trip over the State the Governor Is making will never put him in the U. S. Senate. If his drastic and foolish railroad laws were unconstitutional the people would never send such a man to the U. S. Senate. Nor could he beat Bankhead on any sort of platform.
 If Conner would turn his attention to the question of good roads and let the great arteries of commerce live and thrive. he might hold some of that great popularity he once had. The people (the majority have learned that there i5 nothing back of Conner but selfshness.

 pie received in eschange7 Hard times. depression and thousands Of laborers have been sent away from the rhil- roads and other public works, all be- cause of the unjust. illegal and un- timely warfare made against corpora tions by demagogueS. When Conner was elected. Alabama was enjoying the greatest tide of prosperity since the sreconstruction period. Today there are more idle men in Alabama than since the civil war. There IS more want more suffering and more sorrow years This Is the rainbow of promise that Conner from every stump in Ala bania proci irned he would bring to the if he was but elevated to the Cover norship and given a Legislature that would do his bidding. It certainly Is iurid rainbow. But the greatest court on earth. the Supreme Court of the United States, has said you cannot pass such nefarious and unjust laws.

UP AGAINST IT.

According to reports a judge up in Chicago has laid a foundation for no end of tangle .byIa recent decision. To understand the matter it should be re- membered that under the laws of IilI- nois it is illegal for divorced person to again marry untn the expiration of one year from the date of the divorce. It seems, however. that 1t has become somewhat habit in Illinois for di- voreed persons to so across the line into Indiana and contract another mar riase without regard to the time limit The Judge has announced that all such marriages are null and void if the of lenders return to make their homes in Illinois.
 If this decision should be approved and ratified by the higher courts 1t will leave lot of Illinois people up fin the air, for they won't know whether they are married or. not They would be legally married if they remained in Indiana but are living in adultery un- der the laws of Iliinoissf they. return to that state. While this might be re- garded as just punishment and retr- button in many cases 1t would proba- ply work a real hardship iu some in- stances where one or both the parties may be innocent of any intentional wrong
 This condition of affairs adds one more to the many existing reasons why there should be uniform marriage and divorce laws in the United States. We do not advocate Federal law for that purpose, because we believe that mar riage and divorce are matters which should be left to State laws and reg ulation. but the laws regulating mar riage and divorce should be uniform A legal divorce in any one State should be recognized as legal and valid in any other State to which the party or the same with marriages. We have little hope that such uniformity will ever be established. but we are none the less convinced of the good that would result. Both marriage and d. vorce are entirely too easy in some of the States. and this also Is an evil that should be remedied. The main point. In our view. however. is that legal and proper marriage or divorce in any State of the Union should. be held to be legal and right in ai1 the other States. Then such entanglements as that in Illinois. not tc speak of others, would never occur e -. -,x, ...r,

 After ali his blowing and high flown promises. as to Svhat he would do, II must be a mighty severe blow to know that he can do nothing that would take from the railroads their right 10 a fair and legitimate return on thelr investments. Governor Conner has been has had three sessions of the Legisla- ture, has spent thousands and thous- ands of dollars of the money wrung from the people by high taxes. the highest paid in forty years. and with an appropriation of $50 000 to hire the best lawyers in Alabama to aid him in his effort. he stands now like helpless child who has seen his most prized toy demolished by one much more powerful than he and sees the dream of his future ambition go out in a flash Governor Conner made great promse to the dear people. if they would elect him, first as President or the Railroad Commission. then as Gov ernor. Not one of these promises has been fulfilled Not one relief prom ised to the burdened people has he or his administration brought.

Won't Be Pooled Again.

When Braxtor Bragg Conner an- nounced his candidacy for President of the Railroad Commission it was stated that he was seeking a stepping stone for the Governors chair. When he became a candidate for Governor 1t was said he was after a Senatorial toga. He is going all over the State, horseback. footback and trainback |. The cause of education may necessitate all of these strenuous trips. The Times is not informed, but he will find that the people are not to be fooled into electing him to Senator as they were into making him President of the Railroad Commission. following an ignis fatuus which they falsely hoped would lead to beneficial results. The end of the dynasty of Conner is not far of.

Against the Paper Trust.

Philadelphia Record.
 Instead of having the courage to meet the issue with the paper trust on the question of repeal of duties, Speaker Cannon takes refuge in a se- rfes of resolutions to require the De- partment of Commerce. to investigate the combination and, If found guilty. to prosecute it. But if the protective duties on pulp and paper that sustain the trust were repealed no one would have cause to complain of it's opera tion. It would then be subject to the competitive laws of trade. and Ameri- can consumers, constituting the whole body of newspaper publishers. would be free from its extortions. Investiga- tion under the speakers resolutions may show that the paper trust. like the steel trust and other trade combi- nations; is strictly within the letter any penalties it prescribes. But the fact would still remain that the duties on pulp and paper are what alone enable the trust to despoil American consumers, just as the protective du- ties operate in favor of like combina- ttons.
