I'll die first said the sailor, as
he Strengthened up.
Very WELL" replied the captain;
you are going to die first anyway If
any Of us do. You have helped lay
three mines. You know precisely
where they are We are going to
hunt for them, and your position is
going to be right in the bow of this
ship SO tina II we hit one OF them
you surely will be the first man to
die"
He ordered the prisoner directly In
the bow and then steamed ahead over
the waters known to be mined. The
end OF the story is that this vessel
picked up nearly 300 mines while the
captured prisoner was kept In his
position of danger.

MARTIN THANKS HIS
 FRIENDS FOR SUPPORT
Gives Figures on Race for Attorney General--Will Be in Run-Off
 With Riddle

 l Montgomery. April 1t.-tSpeeial) i William L. Martin of Montgomery. who
 received nearly a majority of the votes in last Mondays primary for attorney
 general, issued a statement tonight in
 which he thanked his friends for their
 support. and solicited their further ef-
 forts in his behalf in the second cam-A paign.
 MT. Martin lacked only a few thous-
 and votes of receiving a majority in the first primary, the vote in favor of his candidacy being 54.34S out of 116.- 493, which represented the returns from 61 counties. According to the returns from these counties. MT. Martin lacked 395s of a majority.
 The statement of Mir. Martin is as' follows:
 Returns from 61 counties show the total vote for attorney general to bef 116,493. Of this MT. Greens vote is 14,S20. Mr Pegram's 14,359. MT. Rid dle's 33,0S5. and mine is 54,34S. I failed by 395S votes to receive a majority, my plurality over my nearest opponent be- ing 20.2s3. It is not probable that the remaining counties will change the ratio.
 q appreciate very much the help of those friends who actively assisted me and who cast their ballots for me on April 6. l owe them a debt of gratitude which l can repay only by doing my duty in office. l have no doubt that a greater number of those who voted for Messrs. Pegram and Green will sup port me in the second campaign. With this new strength and with the re- newed efforts of my friends we cannot fail on May II to change to a majority my present plurality of 20,000."

IF SKIN BREAKS
 OUT AND |TCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR Use it like a cold cream and dry Eczema eruptions right up

The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a renowned dermatologist.
 This remarkable sulphur made into thick cream effects such prompt re- lief, even in aggravated Eczema, that it is a never ending source of amaze ment to physicians.
 For many years boldsulphur has oc- cupied secure position in the treat ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of it's cooling, rasite-destroying prop critics and nothing has ever been found to take it's place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always esta blishing a perma- nent cure. yet, in every instance, it immediately subdues the itching irrita- tion and heals the Eczema right up and 1t is often years later before any erup- ton again manifests itself.
 Any good pharmacist will supply an ounce of bold-sulphur cream, which should be applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief af- forded is very welcome particularly when the Eczema Is accompanied with torturous itching.
