ScaffoId Stands for Pope

The scaffold in the yard at the Calhoun
county prison is still standing where 1t
was erected last December for the exc
cution of Erwin Pope and Tom Kirkpat-
rick, and under the force of decision
handed down by the Alabama supreme
court Thursday the former will hang by
the neck there until death on June "a in
expiation for the murder of James B.
McClurkin about a year since.
The decision of the court did not cause
any surprise here, for, while the evidence
against the condemned man was alto
sether circumstantial, it was regarded
as conclusive by all who heard the testi-
mony. Mr.. McClurkin was well known
ginner and farmer. residing about four
miles south of the city. and his murder
constituted one of the blacklist crimes
within the annals of Calhoun county court
records.
The evident object of the murder was
10 cover up robbery. According to the
testimony in the case. the deceased heard
noise at his gin, ana on going out to
see what it meant, he was waylaid by
Pope and felled with heavy stick. His
head was then beat into pulp with a
large rock and partially buried In the
sod of his own farm.
The negro, Kirkpatrick, who was also
to be hanged is charged with the MUIR
der of another negro, and IL the supreme
court passes on his case soon enough,
Calhoun may yet see a double execution
However, there Is comparatively little in
terest in the latter case.
Threatening Blaze Suppressed
niston fire department, together with ex-
cellent water pressure, averted fire on
Noble street Thursday morning, which at
one time seemed certain to destroy or
seriously damage the office of the An
niston Hot Blast and the Alabama Penny
Savings bank, a negro institution. As 1t
was, however. only the tailor shop of e.
Julius Williams, between the two build
ings, was destroyed, entailing a loss
amounting to about 800 in the aggregate.
The fire was caused by the explosion of
p gasoline stove, and Ed Reid, a negro
employee who was In the back of the
house at the time, had close escape
from serious injury He had to dash
through the flames in making his escape,
and when he emerged on the outside his
head was mass of kinky brown curls,
the result of thorough singing, His
race and hands were also slightly
burned. Besides the proprietor of the
shop, several members of his pressing
club and merchants who had suits there
for pressing or altering will suffer slight
losses as result of the blaze

SlVED OLD LADYS HAIR

My mother used to have a very bad humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out in spite of what they both did One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, Aunt. why don't you try Cuticna Soap and Cuticura Ointment?' 2 Mother did and they helped her. In six months time the itching. burning and sealing of her head was over and her hair began growing. To-day she feels very much in debt to Cuticura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four.
 My own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and.then they would crack open and bleed Then I thought would flee to my mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or five winters and now my feet are as smooth as any one,s. Ellsworth Durham, Hiram, Me-. Sept. 30. 1909.
