ECZEMA DIsFIeURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back OF his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples. his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags OF cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
we consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read OF the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised He has
head OF hair which Is pride for any
boy of his age. three years. We can

GENERAL REYES STILL
AWAITS ORDERS AT HAVANA

Havana, May 21.--General Bernar-
do Reyes, who is here on his way
from Europe to Mexico at the call Of
President Diaz, spent the day at his
hotel apartments receiving ylsits
from the Mexican minister and Mexi-
can residents OF Havana. He said
this evening he had received no addi-
tionai information from Mexico and
would remain here for further or
ders from the secretary OF war.
General Reyes was greatly shocked
this afternoon on receipt OF cable
gram announcing the serious illness
OF his wife. whom he left In Paris. His
natural impulse was to return to Paris
instantly, but he realized II was his
duty to subordinate the most sacred
personal inclinations to his obligations
to the republic.
General Reyes was greatly gratlfied
today at messages from the United
states eongratulating him on the cx-
cellent impression which his most
recent statement had made.

Lake City. Fla, May 2t.-Six ne
groes We're lynched here early today
after party OF more than a dozen
men, masquerading as officers, APP
peared at the county Jail and secured
possession of the men by presenting
bogus telegram to the 16-year- old
son of the sheriff. ordering the re-
lease of the blacks to the alleged posse
of officers.
The negroes We're being held here
for safe keeping on the charge of MUIR
dering b. b. Smith. sawmill man
of Wadesborough. Leon county, and
Wounding another man named Reg
lister on May IL.
The men, who had come from Tai
lahassee to Lake City in automobiles,
took the negroes about mile outside
of Lake City. They compelled the
negroes to stand abreast and about
ten men commenced firing with rifles
and pistols until every one of the six
men had been riddled with bullets.
The firing lasted about half an hour
and few struggling citizens at day
break found the negroes shot up be-
yond recognition just after the auto
mobiles left the scene of the lynchinga
The plans of the mob were most
daring, though but for a curious com
bination of circumstances they would
never have been successful The sher-
iff of Columbia county was out Of
the city and left the Jail in charge of
the boy, who, aroused in the early
hours of the morning. allowed the
negroes to be taken from the Jail
without knowing the purpose of the
mob.
The telegram which the leader of
the mob showed the boy was suppos-
edly from the sheriff of Leon county.
and stated that the sheriff had re-
ceived intimation that mob was be-
ing formed in Tallahassee to take the
negroes from the Lake City Jail and
directed that the men be carried FUR
ther south to Illustrate this plan. The
telegram appeared authentic, as the
six negroes had been moved frequent
~.
Residents of Lake City knew moth
ing of the lynchlng until fusillaae of
distant shots were heard.st "A few
citizens went in the direction of the
firing and found the bodies but the
lynchers had disappeared
The crime for which the negroes
were held created strong feeling In
Leon county, as the men shot were
prominent and general race war
was feared at the preliminary hearing
given the prisoners. 1t was proven
that the negroes had established a
veritable arsenal and were prepared
for trouble. The negroes were first
taken to Tallahassee, then sent to Live
Oak for safe keeping and brought to
Lake City six days ago.
