Camp Friendship Holds Annual Meet
 ing at HartseIIe.

Hartselle, August 31.-(Special )-Camp Friendship, United Confederate Veterans, is in annual session here today, this be- ing the second day of the meeting. The veterans were entertained last night by a sermon from one of their comrades, the Rev. J. P. M. Woodall. After the sermon the Hartsellc Glee club rendered some old patriotic airs for the veterans, which added much to their enjoyment. Walter D. Seed, state treasurer, delivered a splendid address to the camp and their friends at Il o'cock today. His speech was widely complimented on all hands and he met with a warm reception More interest is evidenced this year in behalf of the veterans here than at any pre- vious time. An elaborate barbecue was prepared this morning by the local com mittee, which was greatly enjoyed At the close of the ceremonies ringing speech was delivered by Capt. Dan Wal den, commander of the camp, in behalf of the needy veterans of the camp and a nice sum was realized, which was passed over to them. The ranks of the veterans of Camp Friendship are becom- ing thinner and thinner each year. About four of their number failed to answer to the roll call since the last meeting here.

Thompson Lumber Plant Destroyed By
 Fire Will Not Be Rebuilt.

Centreville. August 31.-(Special)-Yes- terday afternoon about o'clock one of the hardest wind rain and hail storms ever known in this section occurred here. 1t ragged for longer than half an hour, but no very serious damage was done. The day had been very hot and the storm, even with Its violence, was wei comed. No rain had fallen here In three weeks, and all vegetation was fast dying. The cotton crop in this section, which at one time was most promising, will be almost a total failure, and young corn is total loss on account of the extreme dry and hot weather A few bales of cotton have been marketed here during the last few days.
 The blaming mill plant of the Thompson Lumber company at Brent, which was destroyed few night since by fire, will not be rebuilt The loss amounted to more than $10O0O and there was no in- surance

BESSEMER WINS
 FROM NASHVILLE
Spencer Yields But Two Little
 Hits
WILDNESS WAS COSTLY
Local Events in the Marvel city-Tom Thumb Wedding Successful. Land Deal One of Three
 Hundred Acres.

Bessemer August 31.-(Special)-In one of the most remarkable games ever seen on the local diamond Bessemer defeated the Nashville American team by the score of to 3. Bessemer only obtained two hits against 10 of the Nashville team, and only by the magnificent work of the infield and Sikes at critical moments was the victory due. When a hit mean. q run the necessary hit was not forthcom- ing and this brought defeat for the team Spencer, the Nashville twirler, was i'll great form and not a hit was obtained until the seventh inning. After the first inning it was one two, three, with the local team, he holding them complete ly at his mercy. In the first inning three men were walked with none out, then the pitcher threw wild to first, allowing two tc score, the third man came home on sacrifice fly. In the sixth Bessemer made another score on a hit, a stolen base and a passed ball. All of the Nash vile scores came on clean hits, they mak- ing one in the first, one in the seventh and one in the ninth. Sikes received good support and was in a hole every inning In the game, having men on base without exception It was only by great sup port and good pitching that he was en- abled to win. The team was badly crip- pied by the absence of Alexander and Griffenkamp, two of the heaviest hit ters. Edmundson played at short and did good work, IS did Lefkovits in right. The fans are loud in their praise of the Nashville team, as several of the decis- ions of the umpire were badly off, so badly that the fans in the grandstand were able to see it. Not a single kick was registered and the boys from Nash vile were sportsmen enough to play the game without beefing. The feature of the same was easily the pitching of Spencer for Nashville.

Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days 1t may be set down as having been eczema, as this Is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of eczema, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches, letter, piles salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch scaly scalp and all surface skin affections.
