l. Baxter Alien, one of the projectors of the first street railway in Anniston. and builder of beautiful Oxford lake, the noted summer resort, besides being the oldest resident of AIniston. left today for Texas, where he will make his future home with his family
 The father of J. B. Allen, F. D. Allen. moved to Anniston in 1850, before this city wDs created.

From this time re- verses came on them and the large Allen fortune was almost completely wiped out of existence.

MRS. NOWLING IS
 CLEARED BY COURT
WOMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER ING HER AUNT AT POLLARD RE- GENES PRELIMINARY HEARING AT BREWToN.

Brewton, September H.-(Special )-The preliminary trial of Mrs. will Rowling. who on last Wednesday afternoon shot and killed Mrs. Henry Rowling near Pol lard, was held here today, Justice A. K. Mcclellan presiding. The defendant was represented by Leigh & Fftts of Mo- bile and the state by John D. Leigh, county solicitor. Mrs. Rowling was dis charged.
 The state witnesses were Mrs. Mabelle Mccormick, Martin Nowlin, children of the deceased who were present at the killing and Mrs. Tabitha Sunday. Their testimony in the main was practically the same but two of them got badly mixed on vital testimony.
 The 7-year-old boy of Mrs. Will Nowl- ing was on the stand for about an hour and through direct, redirect cross and re-cross examination stuck to his story without the least variation.
 The defendant went on the stand and gave in detail the same story she made last Thursday. She was deliberate and cool throughout a very trying examina- ton. It developed she is a second cousin of Henry Rowling, husband of the wom- an killed and that her husband is his nephew. Mrs. Henry Rowling was a sis ter of Martin Lindsey the Mobile cap ftalist.
 Mrs. Will Rowling shot Mrs. Henry Rowling in the formers home as the lat ter was attempting to drive her from the house she occupied without due process of law, and from testimony given it ap- pears defendant was in a room from which she could not retreat the deceased having the advantage of the defendant guarding the only exit with bed sat, striking at defendant as she stepped out of the way.
 Applause greeted the decision of the court when he said, "The defendant and witnesses are discharged" All of his states witnesses were recognized to ap- pear before the grand jury on demand raised by the solicitor.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevOlutioaized the
 Treatment of Skin DIseases.

New Discovery Has RevOlutiOaized the
 Treatment of Skin Diseases
 Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the mar velous skin remedy known as poslam which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, well as acne, herpes. letter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as pimples red noses, muddy and infamed skin disappear al- most immediately when poslam is ap- piled, the complexion being cleared over night.
 Every druggist keeps both the 0-cent size (for minor troubes) and the s2 jar. and either of these may be obtained in Birmingham at Jacobs Pharmacy as well as other reliable drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining an ex- perimental package which will be sent by mail, free of charge, upon request, by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty fifth street, New York city.

Fire Destroys Store.

Two fires within one night caused the complete destruction of the store of Lano- ham Bros. on West Fifteenth street last night, the second one breaking out at about 9 a. m in the grocery department after the other fire had been extinguished.
 Both the building and the stock are practically a complete loss. In the first fire the damage was mostly due to water and smoke, but on account of the lateness of the hour the fire had gained such head way that 1t was impossible to suppress 1t when the firemen responded to the second alarm.
 The. building was owned by w. w.. StringfeIlow. It was valued at between sl5OO and 5000. S. D. Landham stated today that his stock was valued at about s6OOO, with insurance in the sum of $35OO. The cause of the fire is not positively known Due to the high wind, 1t might have originated from spark from an en- zine on the track nearby, but 1t is gen. erally believed that 1t was due to a gaso- line lamp in the window.
