WONDERFUL CURE 4
OF PSORIASIS
After 20 Years of Intense Suffering When All
Thought He Had but Short Time to Live.
Earnestly Prayed to Die. Condition Deplor

Eureka! Relief at Once. Stopped Terrible
Burning Sensation from Word Go. In Six
Weeks Skin Smooth as This Paper, f
I have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate
skin disease, called by some M.D.'s psoriasis, and others lep
rosy, commencing on my scalp; and m spite of all I could do,
with the help of the most skilful doctors, it slowly but surely
extended until a year ago thi3 winter it covered my entire
Eerson in the form of dry scales. For the last three years I
ave been unable to do any labor, and suffering intensely all
the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful
of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half
as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter
part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried
everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any
relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could
reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and wa3 so low J
thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got
as far as Lansing, Mich , where I had a sister living. One
Dr. treated me about two weeks, but did me no good.
All thought I had but a short time to live.. I earnestly prayed
to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, acros3 -my
ribs, arms, hands, limbs: feet badly swollen; toe-naib
came off; finger-nails dead and hard as a bone; hair dead,
dry and Jifeless as old straw. O my God I how 1 did suffer.
My sister, Mr3. E. H. Davis, had a small part of a box of
Cuticura in the house. She wouldn't give up; said, "We will
try Cuticura." Some was applied on one hand and arm. '
Eureka! there was relief; stopped the' terrible burning sensa
'.tion from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura
' Resolvent, Ointment and Soap. - I commenced by taking one
tablespoonful of Cuticura Resolvent three times a day after
meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used v
; Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Ointment morring .J St
and evening. Result; returned to my home in just six weeks t

JOHN D.'S SUNDAY AT HOME.
Baltimore Sun.
- Those in prosperous circumstances
seldom realize the desperate struggle
of the very poor to provide for them-1
selves and their loved ones the bare
necessities of life. There in no more
heroic straggle in the world than
that made by the father, strain g ev
ery nerve and muscle, risking bis
very life at times, to provide food
and clothing for his wife and chil
dren. The unknown heroines, too,
are numbered by the thousands the
widowed mothers who spend their
lives in supporting and rearing their
fatherless children. . '
QThe agents of tbe Federated Chari
ties have brought to light the case of
a family living in the most crowded
quarter of Baltimore in which the
father was the sole breadwinner for a
family of ten. Not one of the eight
children was older than 14. There
fore, all were dependent on him. He
was a- hardworker, bat at his trade
was only able to make 112 a week.
On that $12 all the family had to sub
sist. They paid a rent of 13 a
week for their rooms; and this left
only $9 a week to pay for food, cloth
ing, milk, ice, medicines and all the
expenses of ten persons. The high
cost of living, has borne heavily
upon the best of households; and in
the homes of poverty it has meant
less food and of a poorer quality. It
has put the large family on small
wagea dangerously near the hunger
point. ?
In such a condition things are diffi
cult enough when all are well. When
some of them fail ill, it becomes im
possible to provide for their needs
without assistance. In this Baltimore
family first the baby fell sick, then
the twins. Under such conditions,
illness looks upon babies with the
face of death. But it is in just such
cases that charity can come to the
rescue and render a service that
means salvation for the sick and dis
tressed. The charity workers did
come into that home. They came
with ice and pure milk and medicines,
with wholesome, nourishing food,
and they brought with them lifqand
hope. They took the sick children
to tbe Convalescent Home, where
they could get fresh air, good food
and competent medical attention.
They took the burden from the moth
er's shoulders; they enabled the fath
er to see daylight through the clcads
of despair that lowered over him.
That is not an isolated case. It is
not only what the charities of Balti
more can do; it is what they are do
ing though handicapped by lack of
funds as tfoey are. For this very
work of providing milk, eggs and
ice for infants and the sick they need
15,000 now. "He who gives quick
ly gives thrice." He who gives lib
erally to this cause is helping to heal
the sick, to comfort the distressed,
to save the liv es of his own people
right here in his own city of Balti

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TEACH
ING OF CHRIST ABOUT SIN.
Gaea to Ckareb and Delivers Little
Sermon.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
On his first Sunday at home John
D. Rockefeller went to his church.
He delivered a little sermon to the
Sunday-school class on - "The Value
of Little Things," and commiserated
with the newspaper men because
they couldn't persuade him to be In
terviewed. In his sermon he quoted
tbe Outlook magazine, of which
Theodore Roosevelt is associate edi
tor, and prophesied the coming of a
universal religion. When church
was out Mr. Rockefeller gallantly
took three women to their homes In
his auto.
Coming to church in the auto Mr.
Rockefeller wore his giant goggles;
but going home, seated between two
of his guests, he valiantly kept the
goggles off, though the dost was just
as bad. -
When the big black Rockefeller
auto pulled up at tbe East Eigh
teenth street door of tbe Enclid Ave
nue Baptist Church it contained the
master, his chauffeur and W. C.
Rudd. Mr. Rockefeller looked a
little worn as he alighted, his thin
lips shut tight, his face tanned by the
sun on the Forest Hill links. Direct
ly upstairs to the Sunday-school
rooms he went, and sat facing the
class of boys and girls until "Throw
Out the Lifeline" was ended. Then
Professor Dittmer, superintendent,
arose.
"We should be disappointed if we
did not hear from Mr. Rockefeller,
who Is back home," said Professor
Dittmer. Mr. Rockefeller rose, Out
look in hand. 1
MISSES SUNDAY-SCHOOL. !
"My friends, I, am glad to be
home," he began. "I miss you and
miss the Sunday-school and the
church very much. It is part of my
lite."
He launched into a eulogy of B.
T. Quilling and Mrs. Cook, two use
ful church members who bad died
during the year, and then praised
tbe present deacons and trustees. He
urged tbe children to observe these
people because "the work they are
doing will soon be done by you."
"This morning while I was dining
with a friend," ho continued, "I
read a little Incident. It was about
a woman, an earnest Christian wo
man, who lost both lower limbs and
walked about upon her knees."
Mr. Rockefeller here interpolated
an experience of bis own when he
appreciated what difficulty of loco
motion meant.
"I once had an accident that com'
pelled me to walk on a crutch on the
streets." !
e. continued about tbe woman,
who despite her affliction "bright
ened the lives of many."' One day a
hungry man came to her and she
prepared him a meal; then she sewed
a rent in his coat. The man had
been discouraged and downcast, but
her kindness changed the current of
his life. Years after the same man
called on his benefactress to tell what
he had gained in life throueh the
'little things" she did for him.
"There ia more of the spirit of
Christ abroad today than ever be
fore," continued Mr. Rockefeller
"The spirit Is of greater power than
ever beiore. The world will yet
unite in a universal religion, regard
less of little dissensions."
A WOEI BELIEF. ; ' '
He opened the magazine brought
from home to read to the class and
read a letter sent by Bishop Bono-
melli, Italian Roman Catholic bishop
in Cremona, Italy, to the world's
missionary conference in Edinburgh;
The prelate told his profound eon
viction that the Christian religion
would some day be tbe world belief.
The Sunday-school class dispersed.
Three newspaper men hurried to Mr.
Rockefeller. Genially he grasped
their hands, gave each a lingering
shake, and wouldn't be Interviewed.
The reporters were downcast.

"Then drew near to him all the
publican and sinners for to hear
him. SL Luke. xv. 1.
Following these words of the text
Is one of Christ's exquisite sermons.
It is a sermon which deals with the
subject of sin. Perhaps it can be
best described as a psychological ser
mon, for it shows how men come to
be sinners and it answers the agoniz
ed questions of a sin-stained and sin-
burdened soul: Is there any deliver
ance for me? Any return for God's
loving favor for me?
Note, first, how the sermon came
to be preached. : Christ was engaged
in a great evangelist campaign, and
in the coarse of His labors He had
not hesitated to go In and oat among
the outcasts and sinful classes gener
ally and to eat and drink with them.
To those poor creature each conduct
on the part of a religious teacher was
something new. And it appealed to
all that was best within them and
drew It oat. Then as biz dogs fol
low their master and look into their
faces wistfully, so these erring ones
followed Christ. In ever increasing
numbers they came to Him.
Then tbe Scribes and Pharisees,
the orthodox religions folk of the
land, looked out on the strange scene,
and as they looked they could scarce
restrain their indignation. Their
comment on Christ's actions betrays
the depths of their feelings.
"This man" not even Je3us of
Nazareth, nor even this; prophet
"this nameless person Is actually go
ing about receiving sinners and, oh,
horror, He even sits down at the
same table and eats and drinks with
them I Could anvthlne be worse on
the part of one claiming to be a re
ligious teacher? For Is He not there
by wiping oat all distinctions of right
and wrong and breaking down all the
barriers between good and evil which
the experience of men for a thousand
generations has. found to be necessary?"
This attitude was not unreasonable.
i venture to believe that if some
great religious teacher of oar day en
gaged in evangelistic work should go
down tcrthe-pebple of tbe-slams and
alleys amf Bhoold there eat with them
many Christian people would express
just such feelings as moved the
Scribes and Pharisees, and more par
tlcularlyf would they do so if that
same relic ions teacher should be
found criticising the orthodox clergy
and laity in the very unfavorable
way in which we know that Christ
did criticise them.
"If ,v that man wants to make
friends of the slam dwellers and
those found in the haunts of vice.
very well, bat we dont wish to have
anything to do with him. A man Is
known by the company he i keeps.
One can't touch pitch 'and not be de
filed." This is how we should treat
the situation, r
inenjeaus preacnea His sermon
in which He showed how men and
women fail Into sin from divers
causes, and then told His bearers
that if they bore in mind what it is
which make men sinners and how
they are to be saved they would be
both more lenient In their Judgment
and more unceasing In their labors
From a flock of sheep safely housed
one strays away. He does not mean
to leave fo'd or paature, bat he does
so all the same, and presently he Is on
the moorland, or mountain side.
where roam his natural enemies, the
wolf and the bear. Who of them
wonld not go after that lost sheep?
Yet how much better Is man than a
sheep? The sheep strayed simply
tnroagn ignorance, and many are
the souls ot men that stray through
Ignorance too. As the sheep was lost
without ever meaning to be willfully
disobedient so it Is ever with men
and women. Again, from a handful
of silver coins one falls to the ground
and rolls in obedience to the law of
gravitation and In consequence, lies
lost in the darkest corner of the
room. So in obedience to the law of
hereditary, the law of its birth and
blood, a soul rolls naturally, inevlta
bly toward the darkness. A child is
born of depraved parents a girl ba
by born in a prison cell. What
chance of right living has such -a
child? Has it one In a thousand? It
will grow up amid criminal sarroud-
ingB and with vicoas companions.
But worse than its environment are its
Inherited evil passjns and the law
ot its being. "The fathers have eat
en soar grapes" and the children's
teeth have been set on edge."
Who dares neglect this one? Who
dares throw a stone? Be kind. Be
charitable. Go after tbe lost' Stand
between it and evil.
Again, even the. boy who has. wil
fully left home to sow his wild oats is
not rejected of God when penitent
and responsive to the inward plead
ingsof the heavenly voice '
lie presents himself at his Father's
door begging for mercy.
It was a -frracloas ar.d ccmfortlc
of our duties.
Truly, it is with men as with chil
dren who have fallen from unguard
ed places into deep waters and are
in darger of death. In such teach
ing as this lay Christ's power over
men, and it was tbe secret or that in
fluence, which draws sinners to Him
self.
Only in the measure to which we
approach Christ in this feature may
we hope to be like Him in saving
the lost and saving, thereby, our
selves.
PREACHER FIGHTS CONSTABLE
Charlotte Obsarva.
A double submission yesterday to
the charge of affray before two Char
lotte magistrates brought to light a
personal encounter which created lit
tle less than a sensation ia .the
Newell neighborhood late Mondey af
ternoon. The principals were Rev.
A. J. Crane, pastor of Presbyterian
churches at Newell and in Sharon
township and Constable D. W. Teeter
of Newell. Accounts which reached
the city give the minister entirely the
best of tbe encounter, which is said
to have been brought on by abuse
of tbe minister's son and tbe use of
profane language to tbe preacher him
self, following bad feeling which Mr.
Teeter has entertained for the preach
er ror severel moDths.
This bad feeling is said to have had
its origin in certain acts of Mr. Crane
in his official capacity as pastor of
the Fewell church, which offended
Teeter. And although it is stated
that fearless sermons against blind
tigers and the like served to bring the
matter to head, there is little doubt
that the genesis of the trouble lies
further back. "
Mr. Teeter, it is Baid. met Mr.
Crane's 16-year-ole son Monday
morning. The latter reported to his
father that Teeter abused him in the
vilest terms and criticised Mr. Crane's
recent sermon. The youne man mada
no defence. .But Mr. Crane met Tee
ter at 6 o'clock Monday ofternoon at
the Newell po3toffice and asked him
about what his boy bed told him.
Teetlr, the story goes, denied with
oaths tha truthfuluess of young
Crane's story and then cursed the
preacher. The latter replied by
knocking hin off the porch he gave
him another, whether left or right is
not known, and sent him to the
ground agasn. A few seconds later
Teeder began to curse the minister
again and walked into some lefts and
rights to the bead and body.
The seconds stopped tbe fight be
fore Mr. Teeler could take the couut
af ten. Yesterday Mr. Crane sub
mitted to the charge of an affray be
fore Squire S. II. Hiltan. Aa about
the same time Mr. Teeter submitted
to the same charge before Magistrate
J. W. Cobb. Mr. Crane's case was
set . for bearing August 11. Mr.
Teeter's will be beard Saturday.
There well be numerous witnesses.
Some of Mr. Teeter's friends claim
Mr. Crane struck him with a piece
of iron nbout eighteen iucber long.
There is a scratch over Mr. Teeter's
left eye and tqe flesh is bluiso black
around it. No motion pictures were
taken so there will be no necessity
for tbe enactment of the city ordi
nance to forbid their being shown.
Mr. Crane Is stated clerk of Meck
lenburg Presbytery and is one of the
most cjghly esteemed and best be
loved ministers of the county.
JEEFERSON DAVIS.
Charity ana Children.
Bishop Galloway wrote for the
Methodist Review which was re
printed in tha North Carolina Re
view of July 3rd a remarkable pa
per on the life and labor of Jefferson
Davis. This paper ought to be read
in every public Bchooi In North Car
olina at the opening of the fall term;
and it ought to have a place in every
Southern home, it is not only a
faultless piece of literature review
ing in intelligent and vigorous fash
ion the feverish and sorrowful period
of the South's humiliation, but it puts
in proper light the real attitnde,
spirit and mission of a man who suf
fered for our sins. We are not enam
ored of Jefferson Davis. He had his
faults and they were grave one3. He
was an ambitious man and a vain
one. He lacked that poise of judg
ment and that unselfish spirit that
made Alexander Stephens the
South's idol; but be was not a traitor
as some of our folks are led to be
lieve. Why do Lee and Jackson's
career fill every mouth with praise
and every Southern heart with pride
and gratitude, while Davis is de
nounced as an enemy to bis country?
He stood for precisely the same
things that made Lee and Jackson
Immortal, and he alone went to tbe
dungeon and languished there for
two long years beoause be believed
the cause that plunged the South into
war was righteous. Lee loved tbe
union; so did Davis. Lee clung to
the constitution; so did Davis. Lee
plead for a peaceful settlement of our
differences; so did Davis in some of
the most impassioned speeches that
have ever been delivered in the U.
S. Senate. Davis was a man of
regal mind. As a cabinet officer and
a Senator from Mississippi he per
formed high service for his country.
He may have been mistaken in re
signing bis seat in tbe Senate and al
lying himself with the fortunes of
the Confederacy, but whether he
blundered or not, he did what every
true Southerner would have done and
did do. Let us keep history straight
and not allow ourchildren to be mis
led into believing that this vicarious
sufferer vas punished for his own
sins. The truth is be had violated
no law and his enemies dared not
arraign bim before tbe Supreme
Court of the United States, because
that Court has always been composed
of honest men. Jefferson Davis lov
ed bis country and made a vast sac
rifice for the South. He deserves
our everlasting gratitude.

Thomas Blewett, who lived, dL- I
and was buried near Blewetts Fail-,
owned a large tract of land, embrac
ing the above mentioned Falls. II--owned
also a ferry, known as Blew
ett ferry this was one-forth of a
mile below the Falls. A road lea 1
from Cross Creek to Fayette ville, to
Anson courthouse, then located on
the bills west of the Pee Dee river,
and onto the mountains of Western
North Carolina, this portion of the
read then and for many years
later was known as tbe catfish road.
The tomb of Thomas Blewett was
made of a slab of granite on each
side of the grave about 2 or 2 1-2 feet
wide, 6 to 8 inches thick. A piece
over foot and a bead stone on which
the following: "Thomas Blewett,
born 1754, died 1835 In his 8l9t year."
On the top of the above is a slab of
the same kind of rock; carved on
this is a portion in the shape of a
coffin elevated 4 or 5 inches above the
edge; that is the shape is made by
cutting the edge or border down 4
or 5 inches. Some years since the
bead piece had fallen down. This
was kindly replaced and connected
by the engineers in charge of build
ing the dem at the Blewett Falls,
though entire strangers to any of tbe
connections of the family. Later
they enclosed the graveyard with a
neat iron fence at tbe expense of
Gen. Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi,
who married a great-granddaughter
of this Thomas Blewett. However,
before the completion of this fence,
both General Lee and his wife died.
There are two graves on tbe Dock-
ery level, about one mile west ot tha
residence of the late General Alfred
Dockery. On the headstone of one
is the following:
"Nancy Blewett, died in the year
1789."
"Remember pray aa you pass by,

As I am now, so you must be,
Prepare tor death and follow me."

came out and ran away rapidly. In
about five minutes he came back
with five other king snakes. They
all ran under tbe stump, and for a

If you have any doubt as to what
makes Capt. Williams the mo9t pop
ular conductor on this section of the
Seaboard, here's a littl incident that
explains It. The writer was on
Capt. Williams' train a few days ago
when a lady carrying a baby in ber
arms and accompanied by two little
girls got off the train at a small town
where there were no conveniences
for waiting. Her people were not
there to meet her and it was pouring
down rain. Capt. Williams stepped
to the ground, helped the ladv off
and handed ber his umbrella and
told ber if she never saw bim again

reminded that "kindness is dearer
