ECZEMA FROM
HEAD TO FOOT
For Six Months his Suffering was
j Beyond Words One Mass of Irri
tation and Itching was Dreadful
Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion
Almost Out of His Mind After
24 Hours' Use of'Cuticura Slept
Like an Infant and Then was
CURED IN ONE MONTH
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I am seven tynso en years old and
on day, some years ago, I fell from
a step-iaaaer, oruismg
my heel. In a few days
I could not walk. I
called in a doctor and
inside of a week erysip
elas set in. The doctor
had not cured me of
that when I was taken
with eczema from head
to foot. I was sick for
six months and what I
.suffered tongue could
not tell. I could not
sleep day or night because of that dread
ful itching; when I did sleep it was from
sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of
irritation; it was even in my scalp. The
doctor's medicine seemed to make me
worse and I was almost out of my mind.
!I read of Cuticura and sent my wife to
the druggist, who was a member of my
lodge of Odd Fellows, for a set of the
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Resolvent. I used them per
isistently for twenty-four hours. That
alight I slept like an infant, the first
solid night s sleep I had had for six
months. I was not afraid to use plenty
of Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap
with hot water and in a week's time I
was able to put on my clothes again.
In a month I was cured. From that
day to this I cannot praise the Cuticura
Remedies too highly. I may add that
I have a very heavy head of hair which
I owe to Cuticura. W. Harrison Smith,

SCENES ON EXGHAfiGE
Spectacular Rise in Cotton
Following the Govern
ment Report.
The Government Report Issued' Yes
terday Stirs the World to Buy
ingSmallest Crop Raised
Since 1903.
New York, Dec. 10.-Not since the
Sully boom of 1904 has the New York
Cotton Exchange witnessed a more
sensational scene or a more spectac
ular rise in prices than occurred to
day on the announcement of the gov
eminent crop report.' With the gal
leries crowded with visitors from the
South, augmented by friends and rela
tives of operators and other interested
spectators, the market soared to a new
high record for the season, with gams
of more than $2 a bale over yester
day. Both the May and July options
touched the high mark of 15.80, both
gaining approximately 12 points over
yesterday's close.
Bull brokers -prevented a more vio
lent advance, as they distributed heavy
selling orders every five points up
from 15.55 for May and July. They
sold enormously, Supplying the de
mand of shorts and also the inrush of
buying orders from Wall street, Chica
go and Southern operators and the
local and New England dry goods in
terests. The market continued in ai.
excited state up to the close, with es
timates that 500,000 bales had changed
hands in the last hour. May closed
at 15.67, and July at 15.74.
It was two o'clock when the news
came from Washington that the gov
ernment estimate was only ,10,088,000
bales, the smallest crop since 1903.
Immediately there was a tremendous
rush of buying. Orders poured in
from the world over and prices Jump
ed from 20 to - 30 points on the first
transactions. Last trades, made just
before the report was announced,
were on the basis of 15.50 for May de
livery; the next sales were made at
15.70, an advance of $1 a bale. This
was followed by tremendous trading
both ways and by rapid fluctuations.
A break to 15.65 followed, then came
the rise to 15.80. July cotton fluctu
ated along the same llnes while
March reached 15.60 as its high point
and closed at 15.40.
The government estimate is about
200,000 bales below the predictions -of
the most sanguine of the bulls and the
actio nof the market naturally folio w-e-I.
Sixteen-cent cotton so much talk
ed about, was "not realized, but the
market came near it.
It now remains to be determined
whether the Federal estimaters have
under-estimated the yield, as has been
the case for the past ten years. Dur
ing that time the crop has been under
estimated each year at from 500,000 to
600,000 .bales.
Sixteen Cents In New Orleans.
New Orleans, La., Dec. 10. Follow
ing the posting of the cotton crop re
port estimate of 10,088,000 bales on the
coxton excnange mis- aiterxiuuii me
future market took a jump ranging
from 25 to 40 points. May cotton
went to sixteen cents, establishing a
rfew high record for the season. The
estimate was about 200,000 bales be
low the predictions of the most san
guine bulls. v

MRS. JOHIT F. DOBSON DEAD.
Her Spirit Wfhged Its Flight at Trn
o'Clock Last Tfight. V
Daily Argus, Friday.
Last night at her home on William
street, just as the clock marked 10, the
spirit jof Mrs. Sarah Bradberry Dob
son, beloved wife of Goldsboro's effi
cient and popular postmaster, Mr.
John F. : Dobson, surrounded by her
devoted husband, "only surviving son
and his wife, and ministering friends,
winged its flight to God who gave it,
aged sixty years and ten months.
Deceased was ever a retiring, gen
tle spirit, a devoted wife, a loving
mother, a sincere friend, a Christian
without guile, a long-time member of
the Goldsboro Presbyterian Church,
and through all the years of her life
in Goldsboro, where she was born and
has ever lived, her walk and conver
sation were exemplary, and she "fell
on sleep" rejoicing in the faith and
resting on the promises of Him who
changeth not.
Mr. and Mrs. Dobson were married,
here in Goldsboro forty-four years
ago, soon after his return from service
as a Confederate soldier, and here
they have ever lived. To their union
seven children were born, but only
three grew to mature years, and only
one is now surviving, who is Mr. John
B. Dobson, of Augusta, Ga.', who with
his wife and little daughter have been
more or less with his mother during
the recent months of her slow decline,
and constantly with her for ten days
before the end, and they with her dear
husband were a great comfort to her
always.
The funeral will- be held from the
home this afternoon at four o'clock, L
conducted by her pastor, Rev. V. G.
Smith, and the interment will be made
in the family plot in beautiful Willow
Dale Cemetery.
The floral tributes were very beau
tiful, the postoffice force contributing
a lovely mounted floral lyre.

IS EMORIAM.
Written by little Adelaide Bizzell on
the death of her friend Mrs. J. F. Dob
son. The hour of death has come to her;
Her days on earth are at a close;.
For now she has left this dreary land,
And. lies in a sweet repose.
'Tis hard to have togive her up;
And have no more her love;
But she Is happy now and blest,
In that beautiful land above.
We shall miss our little-companion;
Who would greet us with" a smile,
And make us feel that she, too
Were only a little child.
But now she has joined the "Angel

With them she'll forever be,
And In the glory of Heaven's light
Keep her, O Lord, with Thee.

A GIFTED WOMAN'S DEATH.
Mrs. Walter Clark, Wife of the State

Raleigh News and Observer
Raleigh was profoundly saddened
yesterday by the death of Mrs. Susan
Washington Clark, wife of Chief Jus

mourned in countless homes through

bier woman ever lived in North-Car
olina.
l . Death came at 11 : 07 o'clock yester

Clark had been a sufferer from chronic
I bronchitis, and a week, ago Bhe 'devel
oped pneumonia, which hastened the
j untimely and.' Thursday her condition
1 had improved, and there was stron
f hope for her recovery. But early yes
terday morning it was known that
death was near and relatives were

THE HOOKWORM AGAIN
i
m Believe it Mostly
Confined to Southern
Soldiers.
Statement As to Effect of the Disease
and Southern Recruits North
ern JSIen Seem Stronger
V Soldiers.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 9. "In spite
of its vast economic Importance in the
Southern States, the hookworm dis
ease is believed not to affect greatly
the health and efficiency of the army.'
That is the conclusion Surgeon Gen
eral Torney, of the army, has reached,
after" more or less extensive investi
gation into the prevalence and severe
ity of the disease, as it appears in the
army. He makes the disease the sub
ject of consideration in his annual re
port, submitted to the Secretary of
Wkr today,
""All the observers have noted, says
General Torney, that in many cases
the infection has no evident effect up
on the health "or appearance of the in
dividual. ''.-.. -
The duration of the disease was one
of the features which the military in
vestigators sought to bring out. Ob
servations made by Major Chamber
lain, at Jackson Barracks, Miss.,
showed that out of 44 Southern bred
recruits 68 per cent, were infected;
out of 57 Southern bred soldiers in
first enlistment 54 per cent, were in
fected; and out of 34 Southern bred
soldiers in second, or subsequent en
listment, only 15 per cent, were in
fected. In an examination of Southern re
cruits at Fort Slocum, New York, and
at Jackson Barracks, by Capt. Siler
and Major Chamberlain 139 infections
were found in 168 men examined.
-"Both Captain , Siler and Major
Chamberlain agree that the physique
of both the Southern recruits is less
vigorous and robust," says the report,
than is the case with those from other
parts of the country, and they attrib
ute this to the injurious influence of
this infection in childhood and adoles
cence. The latter shows that the ab
solute weight of Southern men is less
than those from the North (although
the former are taller) and that the
weight of the infected individuals is
less than that of those not infected."
General Torney, however, says that
the statistics given by Major .Cham
berlain deal with new members too
small for safe deductions. "The
heights and weights of Southern re
cruits given by, are above the average
of white recruits for the whole for the
whole year,- and the fact that the
weight to height proportion is less
than ti e Northern recruits may be
due to racial or other causes, among
which a, less admixture of recent Eu
ropean immigrants may be a factor.
A further study of this -question with
large numbers will prove of interest."
CONDITION OF 3A3TKS.
Increase. In ladiThlaal Deposits, Loans
aa.d Disco nut sad Resources.
Washington, . D. C, Dec. 10. An .in
crease m muiviaual deposits oi S40'J,-
58,322 in loans and discounts -of
308.419.917 and mtotal resources, of
394,318,846. These are the essential
oatures shown in a statement issued
Dy the comptroller or tue currency
giving the condition of the national
banks of the United States on Novem
ber 18, the date of the last reports to
his office this year as compared with
the last reports made in 1908 as of
November 27.
Loans and discounts of the banks on
November 16 amounted to $5,148,787,
594, and deposits, including those
lade by individuals, the United States
ano united states cusDursmg omces,
were $5,169,510,983. "
The percentage of legal reserve to
deposits on November 16 was 21.31 as
against 22.32 a year ago. Banks in
the South make a stronger showing in
the percentage of reserve than at the
time of their report to the comptroller
in response to his call for condition in
September." This is considered re
markable in view of the fact that be
tween September and November large
amounts of money always are drawn
fromthebanks to meet expenses in
cidental to. the moving of the crops.

GOV. VANCE'S LETTERS
Mrs. Vance Gives m to
Historical Commission
For Pubiicatien.
The Publication of Vance's Papers
Will Do More to Set Sorth Caro-
Una's War Record Straight :
Than Anything Yet Done.
Raleigh News and Observer.
The North Carolina Historical Con-
mission is preparing to bring out a
series of volumes containing the
speeches and unofficial letters and
other papers of Zebulon. B. Vance.
Mr. R. D. W. Connor, secretary of the
commission, returned to Kaleigh yes
terday from Asheville, where he was
in consultation with Mrs. Vance rela
tive to the , publication. Mrs. Vance
has turned over to the commission a
large and valuable collection of the
late senator's papers, containing sev
eral thousand letters and other manu
scripts of very great historical value
and interest.
These papers will do more to set
North-Carolina's great war record be
fore the world, and establish her
claims, than anything that has yet
been done. They contain autograph
letters from Jefferson Davis, Robert
E. Lee, James A. Seddon (Secretary of
War in Davis' Cabinet), R. M. T. Hun
ter (senator from Virginia), Joseph
Brown (Georgia's war governor), Gen.
W. T. Whiting, and other famous Con
federate soldiers and statesmen, be
sides a rich mine of North Carolina
letters from such men as William A.
Graham, George Davis, D. H. Hill,
James J. Pettigrew, P. H. Winston and
many other such leaders.
The letters of the period since the
war are no less interesting and valua
ble. '
These papers will be issued by the
Historical Commission in a series of
handsome volumes that will make an
addition to the historical sources of
the State of incalculable value.
The commission will bend all of its
energies-to the collection of other let
ters and papers from Governor Vance
now in the hands of his various' corre
spondents. No publication of the Hjs-
torical Commission will be more wel
comed by the people, of the State than
these volumes of their best beloved
statesman." They cannot . fail to add
greatly to' his own reputation and at
the same time will be most creditable
to the State. , "
"The" Hsitorical Commission,"" said
Mr. Connor r "hopes that those who
have such letters of Governor Vance
will co-operate in this undertaking
either by turning over their letters to
the commission to be aded to the col
lection, or by permitting the commis
sionjto secure copies. The publication
is not a money making scheme; it will
be issued by the State through her
Historical ; Commission, : and distribu
ted as other public documents.. Those
Who do co-operate in the work will
render a most patriotic service, it
the publication can be ready by the
time the statue of Vance is set up "in
Statuary Hall at Washington, the two
together will do much to fix his place
among the greatest American states-
men.
