MOONsH1NER is SLY OLD FOX.
He Left Greenvillc Before Sentence
of Court Was Passed.

Greenville, Oct. 19.-William
(alias Babe) Durham, the old moon
sinner who took French leave of the
United States Court Thursday, while
the jury was out considering a case
against him and five other mountain
GERS for illicit distillation of whis-
key, and for whose return to the
court Judge Rose issued bench
warrant and also an order estreat-
ing his bond, seems to be playing
hide-and-seek with the officers and
his attorney, as we'll.
Early yesterday morning the tele-
phone in the office Of Babe Durham's s
attorney rang vigorously. Upon an
swering the telephone the lawyer was
told that "long distance" wanted
him. The connection was made, and
what should the attorney hear at the
other end of the line but the CHEEKY
voice of the old mountaineer
Durham steadfastly refused to tell
the attorney where he was at" nor
would he give any satisfactory expla-
nation Of why he left the Federal
Court room SO unceremoniously. All
the lawyer could get out of Durham
was that he went away to "tend to
biZness.' Durham dropped the at
torney a suggestion, however, and
that was that If the attorney wished
to communicate with him he could
do 1T through his brother. With that
Durham hung up the receiver.
The attorney scratched his head
for moment in thought. Then he
took down the receiver and called
"long distance" Inquiring Of the
young lady where the call was made
from, the attorney was told that 1t
came from Spartanburg. And that
was as much as the attorney could
find out.
The other parties concerned in the
case have not yet been s. ntenced, and
In the meantime the officers have the
bench warrant for the old "moon-
sinner and are searching for him.

little girl and Of another heinous
crime. The jury is expected to re-
port upon this early this afternoon.
1t Is understood that the three cases

within-named deponents are different

are said to have been committed
vary. Each indictment CONSISTS of
three counts, the first charging what
Is known as common law rape" that
is. rape by force and violence and

SUFFERED ORTURES
WITH ECZEMA
Spots Burst and Ran All Over Face.
Sore and Infamed, Had to Tie
Mttens on Hands, Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured Completely,

Freeland Md" Baby's eczema started
In little spots and would burst and run all
over his face and wherever the water would
touch his face, it would make another sore
Pimples would break out and make his face
sore and in1amed, and he was very cross
and fretful. IT was awful. He suffered
tortures from it, and we had to tie mittens
on his hands to keep him from scratching
We tried everything we knew and mad him
to three doctors, but they could not help
him. A friend of mine told me Of the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and 1 went to
drug store and bought them. When we
would battle his face with the Cuticura Soap
and apply the Cuticura Ointment, he would
be much better. He would wake up in tho
nights and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment and
then he would rest all right. BY keeping
this up every day his face began TO heal and
then got well altogether. He suffered just
about a year before we used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and they have cured
him completely of the eczema. We use the
Cuticura Soap all the time and there Is no
better soap for the skin" (Signed) Mrs.
Harry Wright, Mar. 81. 1912.

There is more catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from ten drops to teaspoonful.
| It acts directly on the blood and mu-

offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circu-

And at twelve O'Clock we're all
awake.
Our dining cars are nice and neat;
And we always have enough to eat:
Our cars are very warm and fine,
Our trainmen always very kind,
The time it passes, our thoughts are
in vain,
But nobody goes hungry upon the
train
What's the use to feel so bad
Or get the blues and look so sad,
Some got mad and their temper
shows,
But that doesn't help, we're stuck in
the snow.
l can't recall jollier crowd upon the
train,
Sometimes we talk of everything,
Sometimes we play music and then
we sing,
To make our unfortunate hours look
bright,
In Oakley on this stormy night.
The vaudeville troupe, they gave a
show,
Because we got stuck here in the
snow,
The jolliest car upon the line,
Is the official number 6O9
We have at homes our friends and
wives,
And children of every sex and size,
OF course their faces we long to see,
But God knows best-it has to be,
We may feel sad or cannot rest,
But He above will know the best,
Let's all be jolly and hearts be true,
And trust in Him to take US through,
When we reach our homes at last.
And think of snowbound days of
past,
Alwas aemember once again;
The jolly time upon the U. p. train.
