on that day. Young Clippard was
in copartnership with his brother-in-law,
Mr. Mark Turbyill, and Mr.
Robert Jone9 in a sawmill. It seems
that the company had received a
check for $75 which they gave to
young Clippard to get cashed' while
he was in Newton, and while in
the show he got into a gambling game
and loses all the mone he has with
him.
He tells his sister bis trouble on
his way home, and requests her to
keep it a eecret from his father and
mother.
There was nothing unusual in his
actions noticed by his parents or any
of his family. Sometime Sunday
morning his mother walked into his
room where he was writing in a tab
let and made the remark to him
that sbe was looking for a tooth brash
and Bill looked up to her and smiled.
In a short time the family and sever
al visitors were alarmed by the muf

the house and into the yard, and to
his horror, saw Lis son in the last

breech loading shot gun at his feet,
just in front of where he had stood.

"Just about two years ago, some form
of humor appeared on my scalp. -Th3
beginning 'was a slight itching but it
grew steadily worse until, when I combed
my hair, the scalp became raw and tho
ends cf tho comb-teeth would be wet
with blood. Most c f the time there w as
an intolerable itching, in a painful,
burning way, very much as a bad, raw
burn, if deen, will itch and 6mart when
first beginning to heal. Combing my
hair was positive torture. My hair waa
long and tangled terribly because of the
blood and scabs. Thi3 continued grow
ing worse and over half my hair fell
out." I was in despair, really afraid of
becoming totally bald.
"Sometimes the pain waa so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips
would be bloody. I could not
sleep well and, after being asleep a short
time, that awful stinging pain would
commence and then I would wake up
nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor
said it must be salt rheum. Having
used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet
Boap before, I now decided to order a
set of the Cuticura Remedies Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used thera

weeks, then left off, as the disease seemed
to be eradicated. But toward spring,
eighteen months ago, there wa3 a slight

I used about one half a cake of Cuticura

LAST WEEKS COTTON REVIEW.
New York, May 13. Unquestion
ably the bull's band has been on the
lever during the past week when
prices have advanced $ :1 (3 il a bale
on the present erop and $1.50 Q ti
on the new erop. An interesting
feature of -the week is that even
August and September have begun
to wake up. July has been really
the center of events, however, and
the May option though undoubtedly
strong has to some extent been rele
gated to the background. May
shorts have not a great deal of time
remaining in which to make large
deliveries if they intend to do so.
The story is that the South baa been
ecoured for cotton to t-end hers with
out the success which was at one
time expected. Some unbiased ob
servers put the situation in this blunt
fashion:
"The bears have been whipped and
cotton is going to 17 cents." How
ever this may be the tone of late has
undoubtedly been strong. Spinners'
takings have recently increased
sharply. Receipts at the ports aid
interior towns have been small. The
statistical position has steadily gain
ed strength. 'r
The spot demand at the South is
said to have increased materially and
prices there have been buoyant. At
Liverpool the spot saks have ranged
from 10,000 to 15,000 bales a day.
At Alexandria, Egypt, prices have
advanced over 200 points. v The cer
tificated stock here which was re
cently increasing rapidly has latterly
turned the other way. Moderate de
creases have taken place. The other
day freight room was engaged for
25,000 baits for shipment to Europe
and ; 0,000 to 0,000 to be sent South.
On Thursday over 5,000 bales were
actually exported from New York,
more than 6,000 bales were sold in
addition. According to the eo em
inent reports the rainfall has been
much below normal of late in Texas,
Alabama and Mississippi as well as
i Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida,
rude iu England and Germany has
recently improved. Fall River's
salts of print cloths show some ten
dency to increase. Yet it is true that
some of the erop reports from the
South are very favorable. The out
look in Texas is said to be on the
whole good.r Leading bulls have
been quietly-selling July freely here
on the rise to secure Drofits. -Tht
heavy covering of late has necessari
ly reduced the short interest mater
ially. General speculation suffers
from the fact that the market is'so
largely dominated by a pool. With
current prices of cotton so high it is
expected that the South will bend
every energy to raise as big a crop as
possible. The recent advance has
been so sharp and rapid that some
are looking for at least a temporary
setback. On the whole, however.
bullish influences, as may be gath
ered from the sharp advance, have
pn dominated. Friday was another
bull day with a big leap in prices.

In the February 1908 term of Ca

Mr. S. A. Fowler at the Newton xle
pot and carrying off a quantity of
canned goods, pocket knives, etc., and
were sent to, the Gaston county roads
for a term of four months. fjst
Thursday morning Mr. L. F. Long,
owner of the buildine. received a
letter from one of the bova. John

enclosing a post office order for $7.25
to pay ,him for the broken lock and

from a man named Aramen. When
be arrived, he heard that the mer
chant had closed bis store, armed
himself with a shotgun, and threaten
ed death to any one who should at
tempt to enter. Grant quietly went
to work getting the necessary legal
papers drawn up, and then, accom
panied by bis lawyers and the sheriff,
started for Amraen's store. A wri
ter in Harper's Weekly tells what
happened.
The sheriff commanded Ammen to

rite sheriff repeated the order three
times times, and then Ammen was
heard to say.
"I will not onaa the door. I will
kill you or any of yaur crowd if you I
dare to force your way in here."
The bheriff told Captain Grant and
the lawyer that the old man was des
perate, and was sure to kill someone.
There was hesitancy on the part of
the sheriff, whereupon (irant quietly
said, "If you don't want to risk it.
make me a deputy and I'll try."
The sheriff appointed hiiu at once,
and then Deputy Sheriff Grant called
out, "As an officer of the law, Mr.
Ammen, I command you to open
this door!"
i4I refuse," came the answer, "ani
again I warn you that death aw . its
any man who breaks into this store."
Deputy Sheriff Grant stepped back
a few yards, and then, running swift
ly forward, he planted both feet
against the door and knocked it off
its hinges.
There stood the old merchant, gun
n hand, but he seemed to be dazed.
Grant walked past him, and went di
rectly into the offlce. Then he re-
muve-d his hat and called to the mer
chant:
"Mr. Ammen, get'rid of that gun
and come in here! I want you to
help me take an account of our firm's
part in this stock of goods."
The old man promptly oveyed.
After It was all over, the lawyer ask
ed Grant if he did not think his life
had been ia danger. Grant unstrap
led from his waist a belt in which
he carried a ?p!endld six-shooter
