That this conclusion is erroneous, and that Hobson's Eczema Ointment will effect a cure is shown by the following unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson, who for many years was a citizen of Wades boro. Mr. Wilson says: "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so called specfics for it, v but without effect. But after a few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was completely cured. "V. WILSON. "Thomasville, N. C. Feb. 22, 1910." We sell Hobson's Eczema Ointment under an absolute guarantee.

' Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian Knot. "It can't be untied," they told him; "every man who tried to do it fell down." But Alexander was not discouraged because the rest had flunked. He simply realized that he would have to go at it in a different way. And instead of wasting time with his' fingers he drew his sword and slashed it apart. . ' .: : - Every day a great business general is shown some knot which has proven too much for his competitors, ; and he succeeds because he finds a way to cut it. Tha fumbler has no show so long as there is a brother mer chant who doesn't waste time trying to accomplish the impossible who takes lessons from the failures about him and aroids the methods which were their ""downfall..::- ' - '- The knottiest problems in trade are: T 1The problem of location. 2 The problem of getting the crowds. 3 The problem of keeping the crowds. 4 The problem of minimizing fixed expenses. 5 The problem of creating a valuable goodwill. ' : None of these knots is going to be untied by fum bling fingers. They are too complicated. They're all involved together twisted and entangled over and ; about each other so intertwined that they, can't be solved singly like the Gordian Knot they must be cut V through at one stroke. And you can't cut the knot with any sword except the newspaper because: A store that in constantly before the people makes its own neighborhood. 2 Crowds can be brought from anywhere by daily advertising. 3 Customers can always be held by induce ments. 4 Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in creasing the volume of sales. 5 Good will can only be created through pub licity. A t Advertising is breeding new giants every year and , making them more powerful every hour. Publicity is the sustaining food of a powerful store and the only y strengthening nourishment for a weak one. The re tailer who delays his entry into advertising must pay the penalty of his procrastination by facing more giant competitors as every month of opportunity slips by. Personal ability as a close purchaser and as a dever . seller doesn't count for a hang so long as other men are . equally well posted and wear the sword of publicity to boot. -They are able to tie your business into constantly closer knots, while you cannot retaliate because there is no knot which their advertising cannot cut for them. Yesterday you lost a customer today they took one tomorrow they'll get another. You cannot cope with their competition because you haven't the weapon with which to oppose it. You can't untie your Gordian ( Knot because it can't be untied you've got to cut it.

Behind the walla of the county jail at Oakland, Cal., a conscience-crazed woman makes day and night hide ous for fellow-priaonera and guards by her frenzied but futile efforts to escape the black shadow of death and destruction which forever dogs her footsteps. And down the narrow corridor, which echoes with her screams, lies "Exhibit A," shown at her trial, one of the most certain of death-dealing infernal machines that ever fe'l into the hands of the author ities. - - The woman is Isabella Martin, "Queen of Dynamiters," and the death dreams which haunt her wak-"f ing and sleeping hours are filled with men and women whose : mangled hands drip blood, as clawing, creep ing, moaning they close in around her hard prison bed. The infernal ma chine is built inside a plain wooden box, 8 iuches deep, 9 inches wide and 15 inches long. In it 29 sticks of dy namite are closely packed in a verti cal position. Above them is a round hole, two inches in diameter, and poised right above this ts the neck of a bottle containing nitric acid. Once the cork of this bottle is removed its contents would trickle down through the hole upon caps of fulminate. which would explode the dynamite. The clock, by means of which the charge was to be set off, has been re moved, but nevertheless the infernal machine, now lodged in the vault of Sheriff Harnett's private office, is given a wide berth by every employe who finds it necessary to enter the iron inclosure. . Isabella Martin, "Queen of Dyna' miters," is awaiting the decision of Appellate Court. Should this court confirm the decision of the Supreme Court this woman will enter the Seate prison at San Quentin to serve a life sentence, and the infernal ma' chine, which cannot be destroyed un til it has served completely its office as an exhibit or evidence against the woman, will be dropped into the Bay of San'Franciscu, and the men and women employed in and around the Oakland jail will draw a full breath tor the first time in months.

And she is - tj er ar one of the most desperate women criminals in modern history. A woman who had become familiar with dynamite and its - use through years or experience as a practical mine owner and mine worker, she was obsessed by a strange idea that i the world in general and jurists in particular were, combining to wreBt from her certain rights as a property i owner and individual, and she con ceived the idea of literally extermi nating all her enemies by the use of infernal machines. She used as her confederate and tool a boy whose youth and innocence furnished a wonderful cloak for her fiendish de signs. The specific crime for which she has been sentenced to San Quentin for life was the attempt to dash into eternity the entire family of Superkr Judge Ogden, living on Alice street, Oakland. That she succeeded only in blowing out the front of his man sion, leaving, the family tmscratched, was due to chance or the " Interven tion of Providence. Of Mrs. Martin's childhood little or nothing is known, but, many years ago, she married a respectable meat I packer named Hoffman in New York cily. She bore him two children, a son and a' daugher. The 'former Is Henry Hoffman, an attorney t con nected with the Southern Paclfis rail way. The daughter married an Easterner, Van VIeet, by name, and she now occupies a prominent social position. Neither son nor daughter seems to have communicated with the mother in many years. When Hoffman died the-widow went to California and married a mining man named John Martin. With him she acquired an interest in several valuable mining properties in Trinity county, California, and de veloped into a skillful prospector. Mr. and Mrs. Martin settled in Weaverville, the county seat, and there Mrs. Martin seemed to have started upon her abnormal career. Her husband had developed a pecu liar hatred for children and refused to grant her -natural loneiner for motherhood. Her bitterness was in creased by the open scorn of her wom en friends and neighbors, around whose tables bright-faced children gathered. Suddenly she determined to outwit them all, including her has band. She practiced a hundred clever deceptions, feigning illness, wearing exaggerated clothing and finally starting abruptly for New York, af ter the statement that she had ar ranged to be confined at a hospital in that city. When she reached New York, however, she went directly to the Hotel Imperial and intervieved nuree after nurse. At last she met one who agreed to do her share in the decep tion, vvnen at length this nurse came upon a woman who was willing to part with her newborn babe, the jcbild wa3 secretly conveyed to the I hotel, a physician was summoned suddenly and informed that both mother and child were doing welL The nurse having arranged every surgical detail, the physician pocketed his fee and the birth was recorded. In triumph Mrs. Martin returned to Weaverville, babe in arms. AH this happened 16 yearf ago, and. the infant -developed .into the" "Baby John," who turned State's evidence and whose testimony against - his adopted myther was eventually ver ifled by the authorities. Soon after "Baby John' became a member of the Martin household Mr. Martin died and bis widow removed to San Francisco, where she remain ed until "isaDy John" was 4 years old. Then she established her home on West street, Oakland, now famed as a veritable magazine of explo sives. . In an effort to poison Horace Given, District Attorney of the county, she jeopardized all the lives in Weaver ville by having John pour Bugar of lead into sugar bins while Bhe dis tracted the attention of the grocery clerk by making small purchases in the basement. Given failed to pur chase sugar, but other people did and an Investigation followed, but with out results. J he truth never came out until "Baby John" confessed at Mrs. Martin's trial. Maurice Abrams, a young man who ate his meals at the Snug cafe, next aroused her. displeasure. She managed to mix sugar of lead In the supplies of the cafe, only, however, to reach persona in whom she was not interested and who were only slightly affected by the poison. She next burned one of her cot tages in Weaverville. When the In Burance company fought the case and Jndge Sargent ruled against her she started upon her maniacal hounding of jurists. She declared that Judge Sargent had been Influenced by Judge 1 0den' 0aklam, ttnd 8,08 camiiy announced to "uaDy John": we will go down to Oakland, and blow up the whole Ogden ly. ' If we dou't kill them, scare'them to death, and they "Now John, faml we'll won't meddle in my aEilra again.' Pretending that she vas cxt:r. ! !her mining operations, she purchased quantities of dynamite, fuses and caps. : Then, before leaving for Oak land, she exploded several pounds of Judson powder behind her Weaver ville cabin, throwing suspicion off the subsequent explosions in Oakland. A few days after their arrival at the Oakland . residence came a box labeled "Glass, handle with special care." It contained the explosives. which were then hidden all over the house, dynamite in the basements, caps in finely upholstered chairs and couches, and thp fuse, cut into 100 foot strips, poked into - the walls through holes bored behind pictures. Mother and son ate, slept and enter tained guests literally surrounded by the most deadly explosives. Mrs, Martin first planned to wipe out William J. Dingee who was then owner of the Contra Costa Water Company ,and whom Mrs. Martin held responsible for the prohibitive price of water supplied to herself and her tenants. . Three times she dressed John in girl's clothing and set him at the task of blowing up the Dingee nome, .out each time the lad was frightened off by passersby. Mrs. Martin decided that fate was against her. bo she turned her attention to arson, this time succeedfng in getting Insurance cn two of her Oakland cot tages." Soon after this she made her fa mous trip to New York, when she tried to pass off "Baby John" as the son of the Prince and Princess de Chimay. This scheme is recorded in the annals of crime, but her failure dl not seem to turn her thoughts of vengeance toward the now 16-year- oia John, instead, when they re turned to Oakland, and he was taken ill with' typhoid, she nursed him de votedly. Later when Bhe turned a$aTost the boy in court, she declared she bad been kind to him only be cause she knew if she treated him 88 she wanted to and he bad died the neighbors would have condemned her. . After John's recovery, the making of bombs: was resumed with a view of destroying both Judge Ogden and Samuels, together with their fami lies. When the first infernal machine was completed it was bidden under the sofa ia the parlor. On the night of March 19, 1907, John Whitmore, an admirer of Mrs. Martin, had - been Invited to spend the evening, merely to furnish an alibi for the arch fiend of dynamite. John showed himself In the parlor several times, only to be admonished that he should go into the kitchen and study his lessons. Finally, on the plea that she wanted to make sure he was studying industriously, Mrs. Martin slipped out of the parlor and said to John: "It is time for you to go to Judge Ogden's." She handed him an oilskin coat and overalls. which he donned, and then he tucked the bomb under one arm. He trun dled a bicycle with the other hand, fearing to ride it, however, with the deadly explosive in his clasp, Hiding the wheel behind a hedge near tbe Ogden home and creeping forward, he peered into the window. ue saw Airs, ugaen ana ner two in nocent children, and his conscience held brim, captive. "His orders had been to place the bomb against the door of the house. Instead he placed it on a buttress of the- porch. Thus he hoped to shield himself from the anger of lire. Martin and yet save the lives of her victims. Lighting the fuse, he hastened home. 'The fuse had been so accu rateiy umea mat "uaoy Jonn" was sitting placidly with his mother and hor na Mar vhn tha ov nine Inn m m,a startling tbe entire town. That the boy bad planned his work well is proved by the fact that only the porch and front of the house were destroy ed. Not a member of Judge Ozden's household was Injured. Then Mrs. Martin started a second bomb. It was deetjned forjudge Samuels, but before the woman could carry out her nefarious plan "Baby John" was arrested for theiburning of tbe Morris barn years before. The clues, on which Morris bad never ceased to work, narrowed right down to the lad, who, Immediately he was arrested, made a clean breast of every thing and admitted he was glad to es cape tbe clutches of his so-called mother, of whom he was in deadly fear. Every word which the boy said to the police was verified. He led them to a corner In Frenchy Park. Oak land, where, beneath a lilac bush, was unearthed the infernal machine designed to kill Judge Samuels. Each t A J fa. m . cacne oi uynamtie was aiso round as he described it, but the residence with its ruse-lined walls has been given over to epiuers sua rats, ior no one dares to invade it. m- - . 1 - 1 . t i . - - me vtai ui asaoeiia Martin was one of the most sensational in the criminal annals of California, for the woman was so violent that quite of ten the Judge had to' bring her sternly to time, while several times -her at torney threw up the case in despair because of her ravings. When at last she was settled In the Oakland Jail pending; tlie result of her alter 2 I r.py 'a ti 1 ti a t.':v :r c:zr seemed to degenerate into animalism, attacking any one who came within her reach. Matron White was one of her first victims and was confined at home several days as the result of! the kicking Mrs. Martin adminis tered before other guards could, come to her rescue. Much of her time Mrs. Martin spends reading novels and smoking huge black cigars, but the attendants watch her as lion-tamers watch their "pets," with an armed hand, ready for the spring. And so this woman of regal bear ing and Bull remarkable beauty Is lacing a lire sentence, while some where in the East a daughter bows her head in shame, and her one son, who tad carved a name for himself as a railroad attorney, has been drag ged into the limelight of notoriety, the one form of modern inquisition which respectable ' men dread the most. As for "Baby John," safe from the vengeance of bis abornmal adopted mother, he is now in charge of a reputable guardian and securing the education for which he has always hungered. He may live to forget the bitter memories of a criminal pact that was thrust upon him. Rewards Far Hall Rabbera. Washington, June 6.

Washington Herald. If Washington might express a wish and have it come true, it proba bly would wish that the entire nation could get in as close touch with the President aa Washington can. and does. The nation would learn that the President Is a human being, tempo rarily the guardian of great powers and executive functions, to be sure, but very much a human being, nev thelesa. It would learn to know that a President frequently is most mis understood when striving bis hardest to carry forward the people's own mandates and to safeguard most se curely their dearest liberties; that the greatest climaxes sometimes get the slightest applause, and that the weak est and most melodramatic portions or the performance oil-times bring down the house most vociferously. Washington gets a near and inti mate view of the President. Better, rar oetter, tnan all or that, it gets a rational and non-partisan view. To Washington he is neither a Republi can or Democratic official he ia the President of the United States, Washington does not see in his every act a motive incompatible with (pa triotism, on the one hand, or Indica tive of superhuman attributes on the other. Washington has seen Presi dents go out of office reviled and bounded as unworthy and untrue, on ly to see them honored .the next day as etstwnue neroes in the strife. W ash Ing ton has had occasion to ob serve the fickleness and uncertainty or (public opinion and, above all, Washington has -learned to know that, in the main, and very much so, this country's Presidents have been men of high and uncompromising integrity, men or lofty impulses and noble resolutions, and that if some of them failed in a measure to make good on theirassigntnent, it was not because they did not wLa to or did not try 10. - i Washington does not "resent" the ! President's visits. Washington ap proves of them heartily. And that, not because Washington loves the President less, but because Washing ton love? the entire country more, and would have the country's ac quaintance with its President as inti mate as it may be. Ya Oaght t Ilav 34.59. Washington, June 5. Treasury officials figure out that if all the money in circulation in the United I States were divided equally every man, woman and child would have 134.69. This is 14 cents per capita more than they should have had by the same process of reasoning a month ago. Compared with a year ago, there was on June 1 $14,000,000 more money in circulation, and yet, strange as it may seem, the per capita was 42 cents less. This is due to the increase in population, It be ing proportionately more than the growth of the circulating medium. Tbe general stock of money in the United States on June 1 was $3,419,- 882,234, of which $298,076,637 was held in the Treasury as assets of the Government. Waat a laamti Cald May Da.

Much has been written and printed of late about flies as a menace to hu man health. But not a word La been said about the damage they do to cultivated crops, which in this country must amount to scores of millions of dollars annually. Nearly all diseases of plant? are due to fungi, usually microscopic. Of such character, for example, are the "smuts" of wheat and other grains, the "mildews," the "rusts" and all the long list of fruit "rota" of vari ous kinds. These and ever so many other vegetable maladies are attribu table to minute fungi which feed upon the plants. The fungi in question are distrib uted in a number of ways, but com monly by flies that is to say, by the muscidae and aarcaphagidae, or, in other words, the horse-fly and ita rel atives, and the carricn-flies. These insects feed on almost everything imaginable, and, constantly flitting from place to place, are the universal distributers of the Spores" (corres ponding to seeds) of all kinds of fungi. . ' Flies are extremely fond of odors. Some that are horrible to us are most agreeable to them. They are attract ed to the cane-fields by the smell of fermenting sugar, and they feed on the sweet hay. Thus it comes about that spores of the fungi that cau-es tbe common disease of the cane are found in the excreta of flies caught in the canefield. The "pineapple dis ease" ia only one of a number which they are instrumental la distribut ing. Another species of cane fungus Is of large size a kiud of mushroom. One of Its spores, left by a fly on the cane, is washed by rain to the ground, wherein it sprouts. Its vegetation later on produces a curious fruit, which takes, the place of a whitish ball. That ia to say, the ball is a sort of a case, inside of which the mushroom is tightly placed, like a jack-in-the-box. . At daylight . the spherical box, which is below the ground, bursts, and within two min ute I the mushroom appears above ground, attaining the height of three or four inches.
