Huntsville. June 20.-Judge Tancred Betts of the law and equity court of Madison county is out in card replying to the interview of Senator Robert E.

responding season last year. This Is manifest for two reasons. which go to prove that conditions under reasonable crop prospects must show that brighter era will evidently unfold during the com- ing fall. One Is the inability of the bank ing institutions to negotiate loans, and another the offer of private citizens to loan money who are unable to find takers even at reduction in interest. It is known that the banks throughout this section are at least from $75.000 to S10o,00o short each in their loans as compared with last season and that the farming class has been borrowing more cautiously than has been the case in several years.

THINKS HARMON
 IS BEST TIMBER Ohioan is the Most Promising Democratic Leader
BRYAN MAY INTERVENE
Dallas County Senator Believes Hnr- mon Stands Best Chance Among Democrats for Presidency.
 Would Accept It, Too

Montgomery, June 2.-(Special.)-ln the opinion of Henry F. Reese. senator from Dallas and retiring president of the Al umni Association of the State University, Judson Harmon of Ohio just now looms up as. the most promising man for the democrats to nominate for president He takes xlis view after having spent much time with Governor Marshall of h. diana when the latter came south to ad- dress the association at the recent uni- versity commencement.
 Mir. Reese believes also that Governor Marshall is somewhat of the same idea At least he received an impression of that kind in talking with him. Governor Harmon is more before the people and 1t would mean more to carry Ohio than to carry Indiana. It is his belief that If there is any reason to feel sure that Harmon can hold Ohio for the democ- racy 1t will mean the nomination of the Ohio man, and Alabama will be for him. Marshall, he takes it, would be eliminated by such contingency.
 MT. Reese, who is one of the most ex- perienced politicians in the state, fears the intervention of William J. Bryan which intervention, he believes will break up most any sort of playhouse the den- ocrats may build. If there can be an agreement on Harmon, with no nagging nor pulling back, and a vigorous cam paign for a fair and just and downward revision of the tariff, he thinks the next White House man may be a democrat The fact that Harmon is a man of the Cleveland and Olney calss is going to have great weight in his favor, thinks the Dallas senator.
 It was suggested to Senator Reese that the address of the Indiana executive at the university was a disappointment, so far as it's political utterances went.
 That may be so." he agreed: but the Governor was not trying to make a speech of that kind. To be frank, he seemed to avoid it. He appeared to dislike any thing that had look of boosting him up, and I found in talking that he was keeping clear of this idea as well as he could. also found that he was well inn pressed with the timeliness of Harmons 8 leadership, but 1t is quite certain that if he is desired to head the ticket he will not hesitate. but will run and take his own state along with him."

where whisky is sold surreptitiously to d limited constituency who can be depended upon to lie out of an emergency. More places, he believes, furnish beer with more or less caution. Judge Betts does not believe that 10 per cent as much whisky is being sold now as under the saloon system or 20 per cent as much as by the county dispensary.
 Judge Betts intimates that the city ad- ministration is standing pat on the pre- sumption that prohibition does not pro- hibit and is giving no aid to enforcement as are many good citizens who are advo- cates of the enforcement of every other law on the statute books except the liquor laws. Prior to the vote on the amend ment, he writes, Huntsville was dry but as soon as the amendment vote was an nounced the liquor element took the re- suit to be a repudiation of the statewide law and became bold and defiant. After the nomination of a candidate for gover- nor, he writes, conditions became even worse for the same reason

BABY'S SCALP ALL
 CRUSTED OVER
With Eczema That Broke Out when
 but Three Months Old Burned
 and Itched So She Could Not Sleep -Chance of Cure Seemed Slight.
CURE BY CUTICURA
 EASY AND COMPLETE

.Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her. but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her eyes became crossed from the disease and her scalp was solid scale all over. The burning and itching was 50 severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. We at once got cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint- ment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolv- ent and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Re solyent. we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment: Then she began to improve rapidly and In two weeks the scale came on her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. Her eyes were perfectly straight when she recovered and have been so ever since. She IS now sixteen years of age and is picture or health. We know the Cuticura Heme- dies cured her and have used them ID our family ever since.
 We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been anccted with any disease. She suffered with burning and itching and hard. scaiy, dandruf- looking scabs au over her nead and in places on her body. We used no other treatments after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do Tor her. < J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky., Oct. l2. l909.'
