DAWSON'S CUBAN MISSION
ruE INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
M THE REV. LUDWIG OSER.
sudied For the Catholic Priesthood,
Came to America and Was Con-
verified to Professionalism
at q Campmeeting.

The Cuban Evangelist, published
Of Havana, Cuba, contains an inter-
esttng sketch, written by himself, of
Rev. Ludwig Oser, who has been
adoDted by the Dawson Methodist
church as their missionary in Cuba
Mr. Oser. whose salary for the next
five years has been pledged by mem
bers of the Dawson church, is now
pastor of the church at Santa Clara,
Cuba. The sketch follows:
The youngest Of seven children,
! was born in the famous province of
Baden, Germany. My parents, being
devout Catholics, instilled the teach
ings Of their church into the plastic
minds and hearts Of their children
At six years of age We entered the
public schools, and also had to at
tend mass every morning at a church
two miles from home, regardless OF
the weather. The gorgeous rites and
ceremonies of the church became
more and more fascinating to me.
and this coming under the notice of
our parochial priest he appointed
me at the age of nine as altar boy.
This was the beginning of my
ecclesiastical career, and my heart
was filled with joy and holy aspira-
tons when I could engage in the re-
sponsive prayer of the priest at the
opening of mass. Soon after | felt
called to study for the priesthood,
and at the age of twelve began pri-
vate lessons under the parOchial
priest. At this time one of my older
brothers, who is now an eminent
priest near Basre, Switzerland, was
also preparing himself for the priest
hood After preparing my regular
school lessons and my private studies
| had little time left for play.
AT fourteen | was ready to enter
the fourth class at the academy, but
proyidentially, as will appear later,
| learned of an American priest who
at that time was perfecting his
studies in music and art in our prov
ince, and at the same time soliciting
boys and girls for convent life in
America. I felt an irresistible de-
sire to become one of his candidates.
Upon writing to him he came in per-
son to see me, and with his Jesuitic
SIKH persuaded my parents to give
their consent to my going with him.
-Four weeks later I said farewell to
my dear parents, friends and native
iand, In company with the priest,
rather Paulus, and twenty-four boys
and girls destined for the same con-
vent | sailed from Europe on the
nrSt of August, 1891, and reached

A sensational shooting affary took

on Sunday afternoon a week ago.
The town was thrown into a con-
dition almost approaching panic when,
just as many citizens were returning
to their homes from an afternoon

a pistol five times at Rev. Mr.. Nor
ris, pastor of the Milford Methodist
church. Only one shot took effect,
inficting a slight wound in the
fleshy part of Mr.. Morris leg.
According to information received
Mr.. Morris boarded at the home of
Mr. Taylor, who married a Miss Hud-
gins, Of near Milford, and Mr. Tay-
Tor charged Mr.. Morris with attempt
ed assault on Mrs. Taylor. Mr.. Tay-
lor moved into the county about a
year ago, and is getting out cedar
After the shooting Mr. Tyalor was
kept in custody at Milford until a
warrant could be issued and served
by Sheriff Perry, who lodged the
prisoner in Jail at Newton.
Mr.. Taylor has also sworn out a
warrant charging Rev. Mr.. Morris
with attempted assault on Mrs. Tay-
lOr.
The outcome of the sensational af-
fair is awaited with intense interest.

SPLITTING ELECTORAL VOTE.

Why 1t Is That Occasionally the Vote
of Some State Is Divided.
The electoral vote Of a state can
be split when the voting is very close

Der of electors to which his state is
entitled. If he split his ticket on the
electors, voting for some Of those on
the republican ticket and some on

PROF. LOSEY WILL
 ADDRESS SCHOOL
KNIGHTS OF PYTHiAS ENTERTAIN THEIR LADY FRIENDS = BUSH NESS MEN OF ATALLA SECURE NEW INDUSTRIAL PLANTS.

Gadsden, April Especial )-Fred- erick D. Losey, professor of oratory of the University of Alabama, has accepted an invitation to deliver an address before the graduation class of the Gadsden High school on com mencement night, May 15. Prepara- tions for the exercises are being car ried forward and an interesting pro- gramme is being prepared
 The reception rendered by the Knights of Pythias lodge to the wives, daughters and lady friends of the mem- bers was a decided success more than 200 being in attendance. Besides some short talks a musical programme was carried out and a course of delicious refreshments was served.
 The business men of Attalla have gotten together and are making decid- ed progress in the work of securing new industries. An overall factory was located short time ago that is now running at it's full capacity and dur ing the past few days a bagging fac tory has been secured and as soon as location is decided on machinery will be installed and work begun.

10 cents on the $1O0, A tax of B
 cents on the $1O0 would increase the
 road fund to about $12.5O0 a year.
 If this were put onto one of the main
 highways, taking one each year, the
 county would in few years have a
 splendid system of highways"
 MT. McClures plan was amended by
 Paul Hodges, who suggested that in stead of building ten miles of road in one direction, several miles a year be built on each of the main roads, thus bringing the bikes a few miles
 nearer the farmers in all parts of the county each year.
 The road fund at present is less than $6000 a year, mere drop in the bucket, and beyond five miles from Florence
 there are no bikes. Limestone, an ad-
 joining county, has just issued s135, 1000
 road bonds and this fact will necessar- fly awaken interest in Lauderdale in
 the subject of good roads. Especially as the eastern end of Lauderdale is Ia splendid agricultural country and
 with Elk river bridged the trade of thst
 section would be diverted to Ath ems. At present the law makes optional wheth CT the per capita road tax Is paid in cash. James F. Keene, county su- perintendent of education favors mak
 ing it compulsory, believing better re- suits could be obtained.

Rheumatism Developed Burning, Painful Sores on Legs Tortured Day and Night-Tried All Kinds of Remedies to No Avail-Wife Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTICURA
 AND ARE WELL AGAIN

l, My husband had been a great suf- ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen years. At first it was in his bones, but after while it was in the flesh and finally running sores broke out on his legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no, words to tell all the dis comfort and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians Created him, one after the other, with out any good results whatever. So one day I happened to read about Cuticura Remedies. asked him. if he would not try them. No, said he, fits no use, I've spent enough money now The next day 1 ordered five dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti- cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them without conf dence but after three weeks all the sores were dried up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bearable. After three months he was quite we'll. Two years later the pains and sores came back after he had been working hard and had taken cold. But as soon as he used Cuticura again 1t cured him. Two years ago used Cuticura Pills for general debility. They did me great deal of good and made me well. Three months since had pains in my back and Cuticura took them away, too. I can prove this testi- monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert, Upper Frenchville, Me-, July 21, 1907."

INCREASED TAXES FOR
 GOOD ROADS SUGGESTED
Circuit Clerk John L. Mcclure of Landerdae Would Build Roads Gradually By Direct Taxation Rather
 Than Issue Bonds
BY w. M. BUNTING.

Florence, April 21.-(Special)- Lauderdale county's greatest need is good roads. This fact stands without argument but the question which brings on much argument is where the large amount of money necessary is to come from. The articles pub- lished in The Age-Herald on the sub ject of roads have caused the sub ject to be much discussed and have called forth several excellent sugges- tions for Lauderdale county.
 This county is still retiring the bridge bonds, seven big iron bridges having been built in the past six years and consequently the issuance of bonds is not looked upon favorably.
 The suggestion made by oohn L. Me- Clure circuit court clerk of Lauder dale county, has been generally in- dorsed. MT. Mcclure called attention to Morgan county, where the interest on the road bonds will amount to about $13,000 a year. "I am opposed to the issuance of bonds," said MT :. Mcclure, but would favor a road tax equal to the amount of interest which morgan county pays annually Lauder dale county's road assessment is now
