 CASE OF P|MPLES
Sufferers Face in Such a Condition HeWasAshamed to Go Out. Cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment,

3s9O Third Ave, New York. - About three months ago my face and neck became covered with small red pimples which later developed into large boils and my face was in such a condition that I was ashamed to 20 out of the house. After using salyes recommended by the druggist I went to a hospital for treatment. The head physician at the hospital told me would have to report for three or four months for treatment before the boils would even start to disappear.
 "A young physician while treating mo recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment and told me to treat my face every night before retiring with both the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. By following his advice I did not have 10 go 10 the hospital for moro than week and half. The results obtained were far better even than the physician expected and I was completely cured in short time by the use Of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I also found that both nurses and physicians at the hospital used the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment" (Signed) Fred Viehmeyer, Sept. ', 1911.

WHITE MUST LOOK ID GOVERNOR O'NEAL. Supreme Court Refused to Save Negro From Gal
 lows June 21

Montgomery. June s.-(specialo-The supreme court of Alabama today denied the petition for a mandamus to require the judge of the criminal court of Jeffer- son county to suspend the execution of Armistead Whites sentence pending an appeal. White was convicted in Judge Samuel F. Greens court for the killing of Jim Miner in the mines, and was sentenced to be hanged on Friday, June 21.
 An appeal was not taken in time, and attorneys for the condemned negro ap- pealed to the supreme court for writ of mandamus requiring the judge of the trial court to suspend the execution of Whites sentence. The negros attorneys attacked the constitutionality of the John jury law as well as the act creating an assistant judge of the criminal court of Jefferson county
 Refusal of the supreme court to inter- fere with the judgment of the trial court leaves but one hope for the condemned negro, the intervention of Governor O'Neal, and it is expected that attor- neys for White will appeal to the chief executive for q stay of sentence.

 Progress With Work

Halevville, June s.-fSpecial )-An election was held yesterday to au- thorize the town to issue $2o.ooo worth of bonds for the purpose of putting in a waterworks system and light plant The vote proved to be unanimous in favor of the issue. Nearly full vote was boiled. The result is very gratify- ing 10 those who are anxious to see the town build up.
 Through having no adequate supply of water, Haleyville has in the past naid heavy toll to fires, which a good euuply of water and fire company will greatly reduce in the future.
 Samples of clays from the immediate neiehborhood have been sent to Chi cago and made into bricks. All who have seen the samples are greatly nleased with them. They are of diff fcrent colors and make very hard brick.

HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE
 HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY

every force which will tend to assist in the work of building a better community life. The subject of practical hygiene was gone into, and many suggestions of how to rid the community of flies, mos quitoes and other pests were given. The detailed accounts of some of the work of the county high schools in this field were exceedingly interesting. Nothing proved of quite so much interest.
 There was a very thorough discussion of the subjects of Latin, history mathe- matics. science. agriculture. and English Many hours were spent in discussing the best methods, the amount of time that should be devoted to each subject, and what may most properly be omitted il the teaching of some of them.
 The conference appointed a commit tee consisting of Prof. J. J. Doster, chair man; N. R. Baker, B. H. Boyd, H. T. Wallace and James S. Thomas to recom- mend to the principals in a report the amount of time which should be devoted 10 the teaching of certain subjects in the arithmetic used in the various high schools. This committee will make it's rec concentrations as soon as possible.

FLOOD WATERS NOW
 THREATENING NEW ORLEANS FROM REAR

New Orleans. June 1s.-After battling successfully against the raging waters of the Mississippi river. throughout the months of April and May. holding the levee intact along the entire city front. and with the river stage today three feet below the official danger mark and eight feet lower than the maximum stage recorded during this flood, a large section of New Orleans on the west side of the river in Algiers. Westwego, Gretna and McDonoughvile are threat ened with inundatlon from the back waters from the crevasse 8 miles above the city At McDonoughville and AL giers, a number of small homes are un- der water.
 The baekwater from the break in the river levee at Hymelia is rising rapidly and the residents of these places are eN- perlencing hard fight to hold the rear protection levee. Large forces of men were out throughout the night filling sand bags and raising the protection banks
 Last night and touay the fire bells were sounded several times to arouse the people so as to get more laborers to en- gage in the fight
 There is no danger of loss of life, but if the protection levee goes out there will be considerable damage to truck farms and many houses will be flooded. The rapid fall in the Mississippi river prom ises early relief however. from the threatening back water solution.
