AS at present construed Cor mis-

such portion of the same as he

a person that will seek or ac-

report informs us that 40 per cent of
the money collected for road taxes
last year was used for office ex-

added that the other so per cent
was expended in an inefficient and
incapable manner to say the least.

ism. Since the Civil war, in which he
served with distinction, he had occupi-
ed a prominent place in public life in
Alabama. Under his directing hand
the Advertiser came to be, perhaps.
the most powerful political organ in
the state, holding, through the force
of it's editorial policy and the thorough
ness of its news service, a dominant
place in spite of many defeats. His
rugged courage and fine intellect prov
ed invincible in the face of bitter as
saults, and it was an open secret that
many men prominent in Alabama af-
fairs, who had condemned him from
the platform, personally boosted him as
one of their closest friends.

Mr.. Hammack is also perfecting his

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re
move Them With the Othine
Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by your druggist under an abso-
lutte guarantee to refund the money if
it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli
cations should show a wonderful. i'm.
Frovement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask your druggist for
the double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money-back guar
antee.

thing and the city detective another.
Scott also swore that he informed the
police Immediately after the discovery
of the murder that Mrs. Arthur White
had seen negro sitting at the foot of

contended that this information had

Scott was the second witness called
by the defense, the first being DR.. L. w.

acterized evidence similar to some of
that offered by Drs. Harris and Hurt
