D|SF|GUR|NG ECZEMA CURED IN 2 WEEKS
BIisters Broke and Formed Scabs. Nose Covered with Them. Very itchy. Used Cuticura Remedies. Now Hasn't a Single Mark.

My nephew first showed signs of eczema on the middle finger. and it came out like . blister. His mother thought he had gotten . burn in some way unknown to her, and she treated It as such. He must have rubbed his face with that hand, as It then broke out on his nose the same way. When the blisters broke, they shrivelled up and formed scabs. His nose was covered with scabs, and it was very itchy. He was badly distigured with uR- sightly scabs. At first, his nose was sore, and It gradually became worse so his mother took him to the doctor He gave her some preparation, and told her to rub the scabs ofY every day, and anoint the affected part with the medicine he gave her.
 "The man must have been insane, as that vas extreme torture to the child who was only two years old at the time, and that was two years ago. Well, VIC decided that that treatment would have to end. I sug- rested Cuticura Ointment and they bought it and put it on freely every day for two veeks, He had the eczema for four weeks altogether, but was getting gradually worse until they used the Cuticura Remedies and he was cured in two weeks. He most ceT- tainly would have been scared with the ether treatment, but now he hasn't single
 mark. Cuticura Remedies cured him in two weeks, and now we always keep them in the house" fSigncd) Miss Ida Slavin, 2S3 South TMth s.. Philadelphia. Pa, Jan. 4, 1911.

DEAD BODY IS
 FOUND IN FIELD

Gordo. October Special )-Apout o'clock Sunday afternoon a report was brought into town that the body of Sam Washington had been found in an old field near thicket just outside the corporation. On an immediate investi- gation it was found that the body was still warm. There were various small knife wounds auout the body, but there was one wound on the left breast that evidently reached his heart and put an end to his life. The ground was torn up and there was every evidence thas there had been a great struggle be- tween Sam and his adversary. An empty whisky bottle near the corpse led the officers to believe that social drinking had been changed into fearful ftgnung.
 During the afternoon and night sev- eral suspicious characters were arr rested. The evidence in the coroner's court shows that Sam was drinking. and that he and Burl Burton were gambling, and that some of the others were betting on the side" Earl Hayes. a white man, is said to have been hold- ing the "one dollar bill" A dispute between Sam washington and Burl Burton was followed by a fight ii which Sam tried to cut Burl. In the meantime Joe Speed Was passing along the road near the "crap ground" and hearing the noise went to see what was the matter He succeeded in parting Sam and Burl, and Albert Mullen led Burl away, but Sam was offended and Jumped on Joe for another fight Sam was younger and stronger than Joe. and Joe claims that he could not get loose from Sam without using his knife.

 GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October A.--(Special)- When President Taft reaches Washing ten from his great swing around the coun- try shortly after November 1, he Will have completed the worlds records Of travel for any public official. He has perhaps already established this record.
 President Taft travelled but little until he was appointed Philippine commissioner in 1900. His activities since he was struggling young lawyer in Cincinnati had been confined to the bench. He got the travel bug on his first trip to the Philippine Islands Il years ago.
 He made this trip at the expense of the government and has enjoyed this luxury ever since with the exception of about q year and half, when he was candidate for President of the United States.
 His record Of travel at the expense of the government up to the end of his pres ent jaunt will be something more than 2ss,72S miles. This Is the figure as esti- mated at the present time, but an exten- sion of his journey for a swing through Tennessee will add some to this mileage

NEGRO DESPERADO ! CAUGH1' AT BRIDGE Richardson, the Negro Mur- derer, Now in Custody AMMUNITION STOLEN Negro Tells Conflicting Stories-Ex- citement Prefails as the Man
 Hunters Arrife With
 the Prisoner

Tuscaloosa, October 2+-(SpeciaD.-
 Frank Richardson, the negro who killed Tom Cooper and Brown Horton, two of the most dastardy murders ever commit- ted in Tuscaloosa county, was captured today at noon while crossing the river at Bailey's Bridge in Green county, 20 miles fromf town and rushed to the city in a heavily armed automobile and placed in
 the county jail. He was hurried to Bir- mingham by automobile tonight.
 This is the outcome of 36 hours of the most strenuous man hunt ever carried on in this section. After killing Cooper
 on Sunday afternoon over'a minor difri-
 culty, Richardson made good his escape
 and had several hours the advantage of the posse which was formed as soon as the news of. Cooper's death reached .own. The negro made for the river swamp, and although every inch of suspectd ground
 was covered by the posse aided by q pack of blood hounds, the negro was not apprehended until just before day on
 Monday When being closely pursued ne
 fired on the posse, killing Brown Horton
 instantly. The energies of the determin-
 ed crowd were doubly renewed and IA
 men spent last night on the edge of the swamp and on the river banks, all aaser to capture the double murderer. John-
 ston and Jacobs, two men living on the
 river, apprehended Richardson on the Patrick place near Romolus, about dark
 last night and paid a negro man slo to steal the guns and ammunition of Rich l,t
 load of arms the negro made but little progress toward escape and at noon was overtaken at the river and caught by Johnston and Jacobs. Within short time an automobile with H. Eddins driving and containing Cowell, Meyer, Walker and Shirley, came up and took the negro in custody, reaching Tuscaloosa at l:5o o clock.
 Richardson is small brown skinned negro, 2S years old He was employed by the government works for d num- Der of years and was an expert rifle man, and knew the river perfectly. He doesn't realize the enornity of his hienous crime and tells conflicting stories He was raised in Northport and is an ignorant country negro Great excitement prevailed as the cars filled with man hunters arrived and hundreds crowded the streets and around the jail eager for all informa- ton concerning the capture, but no vestge of mob violence was evident.

But there are but few of the fans who ever stop to think of the immensity of the industry engaged in the manufacture of the small horse hide covered sphere that is pitched and knocked about the field and around which clusters all the sport TOT Wnicn the game Is noted.
 The largest ball manufacturing plant is located at Philadelphia. This factory turns out about 24,000 clean. white. un- olemished balls every day In week Ill., GOO are turned out and in year about 6,O00O00 are manufactured and shipped away to all parts of the country and to other countries.
 This output retails at about s2,50o.ooo an- nually.
 When all the other necessary parapher- naIja required to pull off the great Amer can game are considered with their total cost we are almost staggered.
 There are the bats, tho uniforms, the tans. hoods, shields, chest protectors. hel- nets, mts and so on down the list, to say nothing of the playground properties, frs nchises and the gate receipts To finance the game of America Tor one year would probably require all the cash in circulation in the country.
