Washington, Jan. 10-In reply to

knowledge OF any such proposed ac-
ton. President Finley, OF the road, is

it was the first he had heard OF it.

FEARFUL ITCHING
AFFLICTS FAMILY
For Six Months They Suffered Tor
lures Patches Of Humor Became
Raw-Could Hardly SIeep-Nled-
icaI Treatment Did No Good but
TWO SETS OF CUTECuRA
CURED THEM IN TEN DAYS

Last February my sister broke cut
with a hunor which gradually spread
60 the rest of the family, being the last
TO take it. 1t manifested itself in
patches varying from the size Of a pea
30 that Of silver dollar. The joints Of
our limbs were most affected. The
parts where the skin was tender soon
became raw and irritated and we were
able so sleep but little because the itch
ing got SO bad at night. My sister con-
suited q physician but he was unable to
name the disease and the treatment he
prescribed did no good at all. AS the
warm weather came on we were ter
tured worse than ever, the irritated
paris causing us to scratch until C1ey
would bleed. In August. when it was
at its worst, my sister was given a
cake OF Cuticura Soap. This she tried
and it afforded SO much relief that I
bought the complete treatment con-
sisting Of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Qnt-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. This we
used according to directions and imrne-
diately the humor began to disappear.
then bought another set and the whole
family were cured by these two, the
blotches disappearing in ten days. Af-
ter this we used the Cuticura Pills for
ten days more to be sure that the humnr
had gone to stay. We have not been
troubled since and we all think that If
it had not been for the Cuticura Rene
dies we would have been suffering yet.

VIII Be Acted on at The Special
Session, and Such Other
Matters as May Heef
lfiti3 Unanimous
Support.

Raleigh News and Observer.
In full accord with Gov. Glenn in his
proposed settlement of the railroad
rate question is Ex-Governor G. B.
Aycock, who reached the city last night
from GoIdsboro to Ioolzsaft some legal
matters here.
Interviewed by a reporter of this pa
per st the Marlborough House last night
Ex-Governor AycocL declared with en-
phasis that he considers the terms Of
the proposed settlement as fair and just
to the State, the public and the rail-
roads, and that if the railroads, during
the session of 1907, had indicated their
Willingness to do what they are now
doing, that the matter woul have been
finally settled there. AS to other mat
ters except the rate question being
acted upon at the special session, his
view is that there will hardly be any
thing done except such general and
special legislation as meets with prac-
tically unanimous support, and that
the special session will end within a
week.
Here is what Ex-Governor Aycock
said:
81 think that the settlement secured
by Governor Glenn with the railroads
is one which viii prove entirely salts
factory to the State, and L trust as
well to the railroads. There can be
no doubt but that the Legislature
would have passed such all act in the
first instance if the railroads had in
dicated their willingness to put it into
effect.
1.-The settlement is certainly a fair
one and secures harmony between the
State and her largest property interest
without injustice to the public. AS
long as the railroads main tanned po-
sition of disobedience to the law it was
impossible for the State to do otherwise
than assert with a strong hand her au-
thority, but the moment the railroads
put into effect the rates provided in the
act, the State could well afford to listen
to any reasonable offer of adjustment
which would safeguard the intereit OF
the public and do justice to the rail
roads.
'tI regard the settlement as one OF
those occasional happenings which re-
suit in positive benefit to both parties.
The adjustment is SO reasonable that
am satisfied that the Legislature will
enact it into law promptly and will ad-
journ within week of it's assembling
Of course, it would be competent for il
to enter into other and further legisla-
ton, but it is hardly likely to do SO
except to pass such general and special
legislation as may meet with practi.
cally unanimous support
