ness All Treatments Failed.
Hll1lNilnA A NnHAf CIINNECC
CUTlCURA A GREAT SUCCESS

Eczema began over the top Of my
ear. 1t cracked and then began to
spread. l had three different doctors and
tried several things, but they did me no
good. At last one side of my face and
my neck were raw. The water ran out
OF it so that l had to wear medicated
cotton, and it was so infamed and sore
that had to put piece Of cloth over
my, pillow to keep the water from it,
ana 1t would stain the cloth sort Of
yellow. The eczema itched SO that it
seemed as though l could tear my face
ell to pieces. Then began to use the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it
was not more than three months before
1t was all healed up. Miss Ann Pear

About week ago the ice began to
form along the shores of Cobbessee-
contee. in many places reaching a
width of so feet or more, and for a
short time it looked as if there might
be some skating on the lake in the
near future, but the mild weather
which followed put an indefinite post
ponement on the freezing up process.
An Augusta gentleman who owns a
cottage at Hammond's grove was out
at the lake Tuesday said that the
shores were free of ice and that the
only ice in sight was some small and
broken pieces down in the creek below
the grove. The surface of the lake was
scarcely rippled and with the excep-
tion of the baroness of the trees along
it's shores it was as beautiful as in
summer.

lEfC TORNADO
y WRECKS TEXAS TOWN;
TH1RrY-TWoK KsnLEDAND scoR
ES INJURED.
Cyclone Leaves Path Of Death and
Destruction Almost Unparallel-
ed-Fire; Adds to Damage.

Brownwood, Texas, May 3O-A
tornado Of great violence struck the
little village of Zephyr in the eastern
portion of Brown county at l O'Clock
Sunday morning and left a path OF
death and destruction seldom paral-
leled. The death list has reached a to-
tai of 80, and the number Of probably
fatally injured and seriously wounded
will reach so.
The storm formed half a mile
southwest of Zephyr and swept down
upon the village, cutting a vide
swath directly through the residence
and business district. Many houses
were entirely demolished. Lightning
struck a lumber yard and started a
conflagration which destroyed one
entire business block. No effort was
made to fight the fire as the care OF
the dead and wounded victims de-
manded all attention.
The storm was 800 yards wide and
swept the earth for only a short DIS
tanee, probably Less than a mile. LIS
fury is considered the most terr1tc
of anv tornado ever experienced IN
this section.
il Clingman, C. E. kirkpatrick
and nine surgeons, who formed the
first party out Of Brownwood, found
q desolate scene awaiting them.
The hillsides at Zephyr were Gov
cred with debris Of all kinds and bod
les Of dead animals and human BE-
snss. The ruins were dimly lighted
by the burning buildings and the
cries of the wounded rose above the
sound Of the elements, which threat
,ened a second storm. A hog roaming
through the debris-strewn street was
killed while trying to devour the body
of an infant. Bodies we're found
twisted about trees and in every con-
ceivable shape. People walked the
streets almost naked, crying for their
loved ones. Residences which escap-
ed the storm were turned into hospl-
taIs, where were carried the bodies OF
the dead and wounded.
One stone house collapsed on fam
ily Of nine without serious injury to
any.
Brownwood, with splendidly organ"
led relief work, has the situation
well in hand.

Assassination is Supposed to Have
Been For the Purpose Of Rob-
berry.

BranchviIe, May 29.-Word has
lust reached here from Smoaks, a
small town about twelve miles from
here in Colleton county, that }. Ben.
Smoak, a young man about "A years
Of age, was foully assassinated and
robbed while closing his store about
9 O'Clock tonight. It is supposed
that a tramp committed the crime
for robbery. As he did not come
home at his regular time, his cousin
Jeff Smoak. went after him and
found him lying in front of his store'
shot in the breast.
Mr.. Smoak has only been In bnsl-
ness about two months, and was re-
Gently married. He was also agent tor
the Hampton and Branehvllle rail-
road. Everything possible IS beng
done to apprehend the guilty party.
Mr.. Smoak lived about an hour after
being discovered.

While the terms Of settlement were
being agreed upon, a negro fireman,
Joe Bryant, was assaulted in Augusta,
while firing a yard engine. On the
few trains sent out before the strike
was called off, some Of the fremen
were negroes and others we're white,
but all were non-union men. Just as
the order calling the strike off was be-
ing sent out, Governor Smith was pre-
pairing a proclamation ordering all
peace officers to see that the trains
had ample protection. It was never
sent out, because the agreement was
reached before the governor had COM

Under Quaker Influence

r WAS still with the Indian Bureau at the
time of its transfer from the military depart
rlcnt to the civil and the appointment OF
Quaker agents. In the transfer l went along
with the braves as interpreter.
The OuakerS, IN their efforts 10 CIvluze ana
Christianize the Indians. attempted first TO IN
struct them how TO become self supporting by
tIllfnp the soil They started a model farm Tor
that purpose, planted fruit trees made gardens.
built houses fenced IN the land. and also planted
corn and sowed grain. In a short time every
thing about the agency was IN the most hour-
ishing condition. RatIOns were issued once
week. and Ration Day was the gala day. II was
often made lively by horse racing ana other
sports; for even Quaker influence could not
overcome the Indians love Of gambling, eS-
pecialy when a military post was close at htnd
with all its temptations Tor poor weak Indian
nature.
The head men Of the different tribes were re
duired 10 report on Ration Day at the agency
where they would be questioned as TO whether
they were obeying the regulations. and asked
word from Texas that horses were being stolen
and every now and then report Of a fight with
the Indians Each chief would express great
surprise at such reports; for they were good
Indians" and were all trying 10 follow the WlIte
mans path to prosperity, by raising corn
So the honest OuakerS came to the COnClu-
sion that 1t must be bad Indians not belong
ing 70 their agency who were committing all
those depredations. and the chief would be dis
missed with a present OF a suit of clothes per
haps. which he would trade to the first white
man who would give him anything IN exchange
