HER BABY BOY 4 MASS OF FERUP T|ON
PimpIy Rash Spread Until Head, Face and Body were Covered with Eczema - Hands Bandaged to Keep from Scratching Was a Fearful Sight and De6ed Cure.
CUTICURA MADE SKIN CLEAR AND HEALTHY

"My baby's eczema came on when he was three months old, like rash on his face and then spread over his head. Then there began to form lot of small pimples over his head from which a watery substance came out and formed Q regular mass of crust all over his head, face and body had to tie woolen cloths on bis hands to keep him from scratching himself. He was fearful sight to look at. I went to a drug store and tried some of their remedies for eczema but they did not do him any good. I then called in one of our leading physicians and he tried several kinds of medicine and gave me prescriptions, but they only made him worse.
 At this stage . lady friend of mine came in and advised me to try the Cuti- ctlra Remedies. That afternoon I sent for cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuti- oura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura Pills. and in less than week could see . vast improvement in him. I washed him all over every morning with the Cuticura Soap and gave him an appli- cation of the Cuticura Ointment after bis bath. I kept on using the Cuticura Remedies until he was completely cured. They left his skin clear and healthy and l always have kept the Cuticura Reme- dies in the house ever since. I highly recommend Cuticura to all persons sui fering from eczema.

MARION INSTITUTE
 HAS NEW TEACHER

Marion, Sept. 4.-(Special.)-Th Marion Institute has announced the election of Professor Frank McCutchan, Jr., to the chair of latin and Greek in the college. Professor McCutchan has been member of the faculty of Washington and Lee university, and he comes directly from the Virginia university to the college at Marion. In exchange, Professor c. N. Hobson, who has occupied this chair in the institute, goes to Washington and Lee university as an instructor and to pur- sue graduate work
 The army and navy coaching classes which have been established at the insu- tute will bring many boys to Marion from all sections of the south. In the past 1t has been necessary for southern boys to go north for special training for the gov- ernment academies, but it Is now possi- ble for them to secure in the south ex- pert coaching for Annapolis and West Point. Colonel J. T. Murfee was ap- pointed by President Harrison as the ed- ucational expert on the board of visitors to West Point, and Major H. o. Murfee was recently sent to Annapolis by Pres ident Roosevelt as the educational expert on the board of visitors to the Naval Academy. This has enabled the institute to make a thorough study of the gov ernment academies and to establish coaching courses at Marion equal and perhaps superior to the best in the north. The Marion courses combine the advan- tages of mere coaching for the entrance examinations with thorough college work to fit candidates to pursue successfully courses in the academies. All the in structors in the institute are honor men from the great universities, while the pro- lessor of English has been In the fac ,1lty of the University of Virginia and of Yale University the professor of mathe- matics was in the faculty of the Univer- sity of Chicago and the University of Virginia before coming to Marion.
 The next session of the institute, which begins September IS, promises to be tho largest in the history of the college The advance enrollment is the largest in many years, while the senior class will lead the records for a decade.

Montgomery, September 4.-(Special)- Alabama politics at this time offer as good a line of variety as one could wish, even in the most strenuous campaigns Take the list for governor, Mallory, weakley and Seed, all for prohibition constitutional prohibition, if you please. All the others are problematical. Ihere may not be another O'Neal is talked of by the anti prohibition crowd, and Bank CT Spragins and Railroad Man Russell, but they are not running for office In the limelight Thus 1t is that the pro- hibition following is the only one with formal leaders.
 Those who are opposed to prohibition may get leader out of the good nght they are making against prohibition in the organic law. The outlook is far better to defeat the amendment than any one thought two weeks or so ago. With It's defeat, which now seems not only pos sible. but likely, the prohibition amend ment will leave its followers in the lurch and possibly put some of them out of the business of politics. This Is the belief with regard to Judge S. D. Weakley. If the amendment carries, 1t is taken that he will be the next governor; if not, the field Is a puzzle.
 About Mallory.
 But for his action in coming to the aid of the amendment bill in the senate Nal 1ory would have carried most of the con servatiye vote and all of that part out of line with the Conner following. But these fellows, who desired to defeat the amendment, are sore. One of them put it this way: we believe that with Mallory we might put the Conner crowd out, but ] doubt if it will be done. Mallory put himself to the bad when he came here and

The prisoner was represented by A. H. Carmichael and Judge E. B. AL mon and w. H. Williams represented the state.
 The facts brought out were substan- tially as reported at the time of the kill ing Dan Austin, an old employe of the Southern railway was uncoupling his en- zine at the Southern depot when the wom- an shot him twice in the back. Austin started toward her to disarm her, when she fired again, the bullet striking him in the neck and proving instantly fatal
 The woman claims that a son of Austin betrayed her stepdaughter, and she shot
