CARL Racquet S
STARRING ON THE

Newark High Schools old giant
tackle. Carl Racquet, one OF the best
players who ever held down this po-
sition on any of the school teams here
abouts. is regularly playing right tackle
on the Brown team. In Saturdays
game against Pennsylvania, Raquet's
tackle was the only impregnable spot
in the Providence boys line.
Victor Solder, Raquet's running
mate at tackle while at Newark High
School, is greatly missed by the Brown
eleven, on which team he played centre
last year. Seidler Is now attending
Columbia University, but that institu-
ton gains nothing by his presence, as

Another Newark Academy boy, Eel
ganspan. is now playing with the Tiger
eleven. He has been laid up with In
juries, but is now In good condition
again, and on Saturday played right
halfback against Virginia Polytechnic.

obstacles may be thrown In my way
relative to signing George H. Stallings
to n the New York Americans
next season, I desire to say that while
Mr.. Stalfings has not signed a contract
with my club, there is nothing to pre-
vent him doing so. So far as I know
there is no opposition in the American
League to Mr.. Stallings, and stories to
the effect that he is being opposed by
President johnson are without founda-
ton and detrimental to his reputation.

That was the fifth round. Here for the brief spell Of

compelled to break ground. The gallery crowd yelled

SHERIFF SHIP IS
 VICTIM OF JOKE
TOM EDMoNDSoN HAS NOT BEEN CAPTURED AS REPORTED-SO- LIcIToR ALMoN IS SAID TO BE THE MAN BEHIND THE FAKE.

Decatur, December 11.-(Special. )--Late county courthouse rang vigorously. Regis tar in Chancery Marvin West answered. The voice on the other end of the line said, 'I am the sheriff of Marshall coun- ty. I have Tom Edmondson under ar- rest at Guntersville I will bring him to Decatur on the steamer Patton to- night Tell the sheriff of your county deputies, as Edmondson is very hard to handle"
 MT. West informed Deputy Sheriff Will s. Scott. MT Scott at once went to the coutr room where Judge Thomas w. Vert was presiding over the Morgan county law and equity court in session here and told Sheriff Thomas R. Shipp about the message Judge Vert came very near adjourning court, but instead excused Sheriff Shipp and Sheriff Shipp went to store and purchased new bed for Edmondson and had it taken to the coun- ty jail and cell fitted up for him.
 The steamer Patton is due here usually about o'clock in the evening but it was about 9:30 when she arrived last night Sheriff Shipp and a number of deputies, newspaper men and four or five hundred spectators, eager to get a view of Ed mondson, were on the Bank street wharf when the steamer rounded into port. A goodly number of passengers alighted but Edmondson and the sheriff of Mar shall county were not on board and the master of the boat knew nothing of either and had heard nothing concerning them. The crowd was badly disappointed and all sorts of .umors were afloat. Some said that Edmondson had been taken from the steamer at the New Decatur wharf and hurried to the county jail for fear of violence. Others said he was com ing by rail via Huntsville and that the steamboat story was all a bluff.
 Upon investigation Sheriff Shipp said that he had learned that the whole story had been put up on him as a joke. He said he had been informed that it was not the sheriff of Marshall county who had telephoned but that 1t was District Solicitor David c. AL mon who did the telephoning and did so because he thought it would be joke on the sheriff.
 Up to the present time there is no fur ther word as to the whereabouts of Ed nor dson.

POTTERY PLANT

WORK BEGINS ON WATER SYS- ITEM NEXT MONDAY-COTTON RECEIPTS ARE SHORTLY. M. c. A. WILL BE REoRGANlZED.

Gadsden, December 11.-(Special)- The final arrangements were made to- day whereby the Cook Brothers Pot tery company of Akron, O., will locate here. A site has been secured on the east side with suitable building al- ready on it large enough for be- ginning and the equipment will be sent here and installed without delay, The industry will make a modest start but with the good clays available here and the world for a market it's opportuni- ties for growth and development are unlimited.
 The fittings for the water mains have arrived and work on the extension of the plant will begin next Monday. There is an abundance of labor avail able and the plan Is to put several gangs of men at work in different DOT tions of the city and push the work with all speed.
 Ten thousand bales of cotton have been weighed here this season so far and with what is still in the hands of the farmers the crop will finally show but little below the average. The re- ceipts here run from 12,000 to 15.OO0 bales and 1t is now apparent that some where near 12,000 bales will come in, if not more by the time the season Is over. The approaching holidays and the general need for money is bring ing out some each day, alth ough many are little disposed to sell so long as the price remains as low as 1t has been for the past few months.
 President Stripling of the local Y. M. c. A. has issued a call for meeting next Monday for the purpose of effect ing reorganization. For the last year the affairs of the association have been very unsatisfactory financially, and there has been much talk of total disbanding. Now that things generally look better the leaders of the organi- zation will make an effort to put the association back on its feet and con- tinue it's usefulness in the community.

BABY'S ITCHING
 BURNING ECZEMA
Almost Drove Him into ConuIsions His Head and Face a Mass of Terrible Humor Suffering was
 Dreadful-ls Permanently Cured.
DOCTOR PRESCRIBED
 CUTlCURA REMEDIES

When my son was only about year old eczema began to break out on his faco. It kept getting worse and we called in doctor whose medicine only seemed to make it worse, until his head and face were a solid, raw sore. It was awful. He suffered dreadfully, and screamed until we thought he would go into convulsions, it would itch and burn so We became so dissatisfied that we called in another doctor. He pre- scribed the Cuticura Remedies. The baby commenced to get better right away, although by this time the disease had good start. l don't think we used more than three bottles of the Cuticira Resolvent, together with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. It was perhaps several months before all traces of the eczema were gone, the last being behind the ears, but the Cutic.lra Remedies cured him com pletely, and he had the prettiest head of curly hair grow after his head com menoed to get better. He is now not quite twenty-fo and he has been cured permanently.
 My face is very tender and Cuticura Soap is about the only soap can use without irritating the skin. Mrs. L. A. Fox, 1879 So. Washington Ave-, Denver, Colo, Dec. 26. 1907, and Jan. 6, l9OS."'
