TAX LEVY IS PUT
 UP TO THE LIMIT
GADSDEN CITY COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING - CITY PRISONERS MUST WEAR sTRIPEs-ILLINOIS MAN BUYS LAND.

Gadsden, October 26.-(Special.) At the meeting of the city council last night the matter of adjusting the tax levy for the coming year was taken up and after much discussion this was fixed at 1 per cent the full constitutional limit. Here tofore the tax has been three-fourths of l per cent, but at a special election a year ago the people authorized the ad- ditional tax in order to make a better sale of the water bonds. The tax is still very low too low for the best interests of the city, but until different limit is set it can be made no higher, no matter what the demands for more money may be.
 The city council last night decided that hereafter the city prisoners must wear the regulation prison garb. It is consid- cred more economical as matter of dress for the convicts and in case of escape recapture is much more probable. Heretofore the city convicts have been clad in citizens garb.
 L. N Seeman, a banker of Elgin, H., has made a purchase of considerable real estate near the plants of the Southern Iron and Steel company and will at once proceed with the erection of a number of houses He will build better class of houses than have gone up in that district previous to this time and in company with other owners of property on the nrincipal street of the South Highlands addition has agreed that no more cheap tenant houses shall be erected thereon. Those interested in that section are now combining to secure street car service for the district south of the steel plant.

AGONY OF ECZEMA BEYOND WORDS
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Tor- turing Humor T Hair All Fell Out and Ears Seemed Ready to Drop Off Clothing Would Stick to Bleeding Flesh . Hoped Death Would End Fearful Suffering.
CASE SEEMED HOPELESS BUT CUTlCURA CURED HER

"Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. | looked more like piece of raw beef than a human being The pain and agony endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under body. My ears were so crusted and swollen l was afraid they would break of. Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh. making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but | got worse and worse. My condition was awful. did not think could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings.
 R In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Rem- edies. 1 said 1 would, but had no hope of recovery. But oh, what blessed re- lief experienced after applying Cuti- cs,ra Ointment It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me thu frst real sleep had had in weeks. It was as grateful, as ice to burning tongue. l would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap. then apply the Ointment freely. also took Cuti- cura Resolvent for the blood. In short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and l knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in . short time l was completely cured. I cannot praise Cuticura enough. wish l could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. My condition WAS 90 terrible that what cured me cannot fail to cure anybody of this awful dtsease. If any one doubts the truth of this letter. tell them to write to nc. Mrs. Wm Hunt, 136 Thomas St., Newark. N. J.. Sept. 28, leos.''

Pleads Temporary Insanity.

A plea of temporary insanity, due to excessive drinking, was argued in the case of Jim Turner, who was charged with assaulting Cliff Chatham with in- tent to murder, and while it did not se- cure his acquittal it did secure the lem iency of the court, Judge Coleman stat ing that if the defendant had not been a confirmed inebriate he would have given him sentence longer than three years. Turner shot Chatham in a drunken row at Alexandria, as a result of which the latter is now totally blind When the case was first called the indictment was quashed on the ground that Chatmans name was spelled with two "ts''

Athens, october 6-(Special)-A very distressing accident happened at Pop lar Creek Baptist church, 12 miles west of Athens, Sunday morning, by which a most estimable woman lost her life and a little girl was seriously injured
 Mrs. Dolly Gilbert, very highly es- teemed lady, living in that section of the county, widow of the late Robert Gilbert, started to church accompanied by her little niece, daughter of Robert Hamilton,. merchant of Poplar Creek. She was within hundred yards of the church when two negroes came riding very rapidly and she pulled up her horse and called to them not to run by her buggy, but they either did not hear or
