been considering the conspiracy charge

Mr.. Untermyer criticised adversely the
provisions allowing bankers to deal In ac-
ceptances given for the expectation or
Importation of goods.
This is a discrimination he said,
"and is directed against domestic busi-
ness and would make money cheaper to
men in foreign trade than to domestic
merchants"
Mr.. Untermyer said the bill guaran-
teed to the banks entering into the sys-
tenn q monopoly of the banking business
of the United States.
In this respect the bill is more gen

Smyrna times., 1913-06-04

1t is with regret that we chronicle
the death of Rev. Thomas L. POulson
D. d. While much of his life was
spent in broader field Of activity. he
was always considered a part of
Smyrna and was loved and esteemed
by its citizens. In a peculiar sense
We feel him a part of the old Smyrna
Times for with the late r. D. HOf-
fecker they published the old Della
ware Herald which in 1854 was pur-
chased by the late editor and changed
to The Smyrna Times. He was al
ways friend to the Times. was a
fequent contributor and hardly ever
came TO Smyrna without a friendly
call. HIS death removes the last of
the trio who had to do with its found
ing. He left journ alism to enter the
ministry and soon rose to distinction
and prominence. 1t is as the "sOl-
dier orator" that DR.. POulson is best
known to tn men of the present gen.
GRAFTON. He enlisted as a chaplain
at the outbreak Of he Civil War and
saw many battles. His description Of
these scenes has stirred many audien-
ces of veterans to great enthusiasm.
While in the army he became ac-
quanted with many Of the leading
commanders Of the Federal forces and
was commissioned to establish the
first school for freedmen, which was
opened at Drummondtown, Va, in
1862. He was a commanding figure
in the pulpit and was a familiar per-
sonage at Ocean Grove in the days
when that resort was noted chiefly as
a campmeeting centre.

FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PlMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

Atchison, Kan.-"For a number of
years I suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were a fine rash with the exception of
a few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as if exposed to either heat or
cold. 1t was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.

CHANGED POINT OF REFORM
Uncle Rastus at Least Was Honest in
His Acknowledgment of Prev
ious Lapses From Grace.

The colonel had demonstrated Wig.
orously with Uncle Rastus about the
old darky's persistent excursions into
the state Of inebriation.
Uncle Rastus. though he promised
faithfully to refrain froI; frequent dips
into the flowing bowl, failed to live up
to the colonel's expectations.
On numerous occasions the colonel
saw Rastus under the influence of liq-
uor. but the darkey when taken to task
stoutly denied the accusation, affirm
ing emphatically that he did not drink.
One evening the colonel met Uncle
Rastus in a condition which made 1t
plainly evident that the darkey was
caught with the goods on"
