OLD FORK OF PEACH TREE
 PERSISTS IN BEARING

Courtland April 14.-(Special.)- O..
 Campbell, a leading merchant of this
 place, and an elder in the Presbyterian church, has a peculiar monstrosity in the
 form of a peach tree in his yard. Two years ago this tree blew down and after laying on the ground for some time it became necessary to have a fork to prop up some grape vines. The fork was cut from this supposedly dead tree and the vines propped up with one end of it, the other being put short distance in the ground Last year it was noticed that a few twigs seemed to be alive on the fork and this year these twigs bloomed

permanent improvements on each. With the help of the county surveyor, too, 1t is probable that more system and intelligence is being exercised in the improvements. A number of large hills on some of the roads that have heretofore made a heavy trip to town practically impossible, have been sue cessfully skirted without increasing the distances. Of course, the work is be- ing done from town out but further distance of improved road on every highway has been built than ever be- fore and the county, in spite of the fact that it is the next largest in tn e state, will compare favorably with any It was reported, for instance, by some tourists who came down from Birming- ham yesterday in an automobile, that they found the roads encountered in this county in better condition than the Jefferson county roads travelled on the trip.

The bond issue would have been defeat- cd in the election recently called had it come to a vote. not by the large tax payers but by the smaller ones and by those who paid next to no taxes. One man, a farmer who has prospered in worldly goods. took the position that should the bonds be issued, the same would be a mortgage on every foot of land in the county and that should de- fault be made in the payment of these bonds the lands of the citizens of the county could be sold for the payment thereof. Another argued all over the county that if bonds were issued no man in the county could borrow dollar on his land. These and numerous similar ar guments were induged in throughout tho entire county and believed by many. The roads of this county are perhaps the worst in the state. but the people of old Law renee will have to be educated upon this subject before a bond issue will carry.

TUSCALOOSA COUNTY HAS
 SOME GOOD HIGHWAYS
BY R. T. MAJORS.

Tuscaloosa, April 14.-(Special.)- Tuscaloosa people have read with much interest the discussions as to the con dition of public roads which have re- gently been published in the Age-Her- aid. While the matter of working con- victs on the roads in this county was somewhat of a live issue a few years ago, it is not so right now, as all of the convicts have been hired out by the county and the contract does not expire for about eighteen months.
 It is stated. however, by those fla miliar with road work generally, that the character of work that is possible with convict labor is much better than can be done with the ordinary kind. This has been especially the case re- gently, as the independence of the labor made it come high and necessitated the use of much of the worthless kind. For this reason the board of public works in this county made an effort some time ago to arrange to work the conyicts. This, however, failed on ac- count of the contract referred to.
 Since the panic it has been possible to get good labor at reasonable prices and under the present conditions it IS said to be cheaper to continue the work as it is now being handled. The sense of the people as whole seems to be against the working of the con victs on the roads, but by road experts it is stated that the improved character of the work done by convict labor more than offsets the additional cost, even when labor is cheap.
 The condition of the Tuscaloosa county roads is perhaps better today than 1t has ever been before. The pol icy of the present board has been to put all the main roads in passable shape at first, and then return to the

CURE BY CUT|CURA AT CITY MISSION
Young Woman Found in Awful Con- dition with Scabies Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching Tried
 Many Remedies for Seven Weeks Result Was Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
 YIELDED TO CUTICURA

"While was doing missionary work Tn the lower portion of several cities l found it necessary to know a little of the efficacy of a few medicines and after while found that a little knowl- edge of Cuticura was about all needed. One of the very bad cases had to deal with was that of a young woman who had come to us not only broken in spirit but in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies Cthe itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure and the effects of her ragged-edged life. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to a good tonic was prescribed and baths with rubbing of lard and sulphur. We worked hard for seven weeks and you can imagine how discouraged we were when, after all that time, we could see so little improv ement. One day hap pened to see a Cuticura advertisement telling how a little baby had been and although I had but ninety-sev cents with me, bought a cake of Cuti- cura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolyent. When I reached home l was like child with a new toy, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolyent. She slept that right better than she had since she had been with us and the next day I located the price of box of Cuticura Ointment. I am not exaggerating when I say that in exactly five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, being strong enough to work and full of ambition. In another month she left the home, and now has a good position in a nice family where she is respected and is strong and well.

This suspicion is made strong from the fact that a few days prior to the theft this same young man was broke and tried to borrow a quarter.
