 The Night Riders obeyed. The knight ly champion of the girl and the girl herself were tied hand and foot with stout ropes, helpless lockers on now while the band hacked at the door with axes. But the prisoner Night Rider had a friend in the band.
 This friend in need cut the cords that bound the girl. Her revolver still lay on the floor. She seized 1t and fired one shot point blank at the leader. Until her revolver spoke none of the Night Riders, busy with their task of forcing an entrance to the house, had observed that she was free.
 The leader fell in a heap at her shot. Ills followers drew back in dlsmay. Quickly the girl took the knife from the hand of her own rescuer and severed the bonds of the man who first had been her champion. He sprang to his feet.

 I was in my office off and on all day on the 11th and 12th of May. and saw Williams folding letters and inducements above referred to- I wish to state that such a letter as referred to in Mir Thomp- sons card and Williams affidavit was not written or sent out from Judge Ne smiths headquarters. I have seen all letters sent out and all replies that have come into these headquarters, and know positively that such a letter did not ema- nate from this office. Williams told me his father was mayor of Memphis. and that his father had given him money to go to Little Rock to visit his sister and instead of going there he came to Bir- mingham, that he was out of money. and was on the hog and was willing to no any kind of work to get money to live on- When all the letters were gotten out, MT Matthews paid Williams off and let him go. He was in the headquarters on Thursday, the 14th of May, and hung around there some time. l asked him what he wanted and he said he did not have anything to do and just thought he wo,,ld come up and see how things are getting along.

 Reaches Conclusion
BUILDING TO COST S35,0OO
Bessemer Beavers and Birmingham Y. M. C. A. Will Play Baseball This Afternoon-Personal
 and General Newss.

Bessemer, May 15-( -(Special.)-At last the Board of Education has made up its mind with regard to d plan for the erec- ton of the new school building, and w. E. Benns of this city was the lucky architect. After holding several meet ings the board arrived at the conclusion that there were only three bidders to be considered, namely, w. E. Benns of Bes- semer, w. E. Spink of Birmingham and H. D. Breeding of Birmingham.
 The board met this evening about 730 at the city hall and the matter was de- cided. Those present were Dr. McTyeire, MT. Rush, MT. Lewis and Dr. Downing. A secret ballot was taken, and here IS how it looked after the voting was over: On the first ballot pr. McTyeire and pr. Downing voted for MT Benns; MT. Rush and MT. Lewis voted for MT. Breeding. On the second ballot MT. Rush, Dr. Me Tyeire and Dr. Downing voted for Mi. Benns and MT. Lewis voted for MT. Breeding and on the third ballot MT. Lewis came over and suggested that the vote be made unanimous. MT. Benhs stated this evening that he believed the building could be erected for about $33, ,oOO, but of course he was not certain about it. The building can cost $350OO, put II is not believed it will cost that much.
 The plan as submitted by MT. Benns seems to have been the one to meet Wlth the greatest amount of satisfaction, ana it covers everything that will go toward making creditable building. The next thing will be the advertisement for bids for the erection of the building. Mr. Benns stated this evening: "The olds may range all the way from $SOOoO to s40.OOO but the price will have to be in the S35,O00 limit The many frlends of MT. Benns in this city are very much gratfied that he was able to land the job He is well known in the district and has done a great deal of work Tn the immediate vicinity. MT. Benns has been a resident of Bessemer for number of years and his work has always proven to be highly satisfactory.

BOY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUM0R
Almost Covered with Eczema-No Nights Rest for Nearly Year Feared Lifelong Disfgurement-- All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Near.
PERFECT RECOVERY
 IS DUE TO CUTICURA

With the exception of his hands and feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly year without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all in their power, yet nothing seemed to re- lieve him. And had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they all failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell of. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Many time he looked as if his ears would drop of. Friends com ing to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life.
 "When it seemed as if he could pos sibly stand it no longer, I decided to try Cuticura. bought cake of Cuti- cura Soap. box of Cuticura Ointment, and bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. l used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. This may sound exaggerated to you, but in the morning there was great change for the better. In about six weeks you could not have told that he had ever had anything wrong with him. treated him twice day for six months and at present he has fine complexion and not a scar on his body. This story may seem overdrawn, but neither words nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering and how he looked. Our leading phy- sician, Dr. -, recommends the Cuti- cura Remedies for eczema. Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shiloh, O., June II, 1907."
 Frequent shampoos with Cuticura Soap and weekly dressings with Cuti- cura stop failing hair, remove crusts, scales, and dandruff, destroy hair para sites, soothe irritated, itching surfaces, stimulate the hair follicles, supply the roots with nourishment, loosen the scalp skin, and make the hair grow upon sweet, wholesome, healthy scalp, when all other remedies fail.

While Gadsden has been looked upon as the stronghold of the Johnsontes, it is evident at this time that there is no need for alarm among the supporters of MT. Bryan. Leaders claim the boys in the country districts have not even heard of Johnson much less been converted to the doctrines of those who are conduct ing his campaign. The local candidates who have been canvassing the county all declare that Bryan will receive an over whelming indorsement.
 Ernest Birt, the Attalla policeman who was convicted of murder and sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary has secured reversal of the case in the su- preme court and will be given new trial. His friends are arranging his bond today and he will once more enjoy his liberty until another jury sits on the case and returns a verdict as to his guilt or innocence.
