CAPTURES A CONVICT. Uruty". Catches an Escaping Convict and is Rewarded. Richmond Dispatch. The daring escape of three convicts, their thrilling capture after an excit ing chase, the capture of one by a "trusty" at the risk of his life, and the immediate pardon of the "trusfy" by the Governor, are events which are inseparably connected with the visit Of his Excellency to the State Farm yesterday. The incidents were dramatic in the extreme. The1 life of one man was changed from that of a convict to a free man, and not only so, but a hero -who merited and received the thanks of the Governor of his State. Governor Tyler went up to the farn yesterday morning on a tour of ins pection. The exciting affair of the day occurred just upon the arrival of the distinguished party. The men on the farm were at work at various parts of the place. The guards were each with his group of prisoners. The appearance of the vis itors naturally attracted the attention of the guards. One guard, who had tinder him three negro men, was over powered. His Winchester rifle was taken from him by one of the most dar ing of the three, and before the guards could rec'over from the surprise, all had taken to their heels. Then the here of the occasion appeared on th? scene. He was H. Quinsey Bailey, a .white man of good family, sent to the penitentiary from Greensville county, convicted of manslaughter. He was a ''trusty." Bailey was at work at the tile kiln. He was the engineer. He easily took in all that had happened. He laid down his work and ran with a number of others to the capture of the fleeing men. He passed one of the guards in hb pursuit. He asked the guard for his pistol, and the weapon was readily giv en him. The three men were making for the woods at a great pace. One of the three still had the rifle. Bailey picked out the one, and followed him with all his racing power. The others separated from him, and the race be came one convict chased by another. Bailey shot at the man in front of him several times but did not shoot to strike. The negro, either from fear, o;' from ignorance as to how to use a ri fle, made no attempt to stop his pur suer with it. It was not long before the fleet-footed Bailey had caught up Tvijth the negro. Then he said to him: "Sit down here and let us blow awhile. 1 am acout of brearh, and you seem to be, also." They rested for some minutes, and then the two went back to the house. The Governor met them, and so did the others of the party. The Governor Tvas equal to the occasion. He thank ed Bailey for his faithfulness, and praised his bravery and prompt ac tion. He did more; he ordered his immediate release. He 'phoned to his office here in Richmond and instructed that the papers which conveyed the pardon of the man should be made out and brought down to the train for him to sign as soon as he got there. This was dene. Bailey was brought down on the train with the party, and at the depot here the Governor affixed his signature to the paper, which mado Bailey as free as any man in the Com monwealth. He was dressed then in a new suit of clothes. He will remain in the city until today, when he goes to his home in Greensville. Bailey was sent to the penitentiary in ApriL His term was one year. He and another were fighting. In trying to wrest a pistol from the other man, Bailey discharged it, and a by-stand-er was killed. Mr. Tatum, who has charge of the farm, and several guards caught the other two negroes, with the aid of blood-hounds, after an exciting chase. Hforth Carolinian in Philadel phia. Raleigh Post.

Mil Millions of little glands or tubes connect the blood with the skin, and through these small drain pipes perspiration passes out, carrying with it the impurities that are thrown off by the blood. Should the pores of the skin be entirely closed for even a brief space of time, and the poisonous matter forced back into the circula tion, instant death would result. In addition to the sweat glands, the skin is provided with certain others which pour out upon it an oily substance, keeping the skin pliable and soft and protecting it from heat and cold. The blood and skin are so closely related that whatever affects one seriously interferes with the func tions of the other. Not only health, but life itself, depends upon perfect harmony between the blood and skin. When, therefore, the . - . blood becomes poisoned from any cause, it quickly B3QMtiQa 317Cf manifests itself upon the skin in the form of sores and ulcers, pimples and various EjZq QMi3 Qm POtGOiSG eruptive diseases. By the character of the sore we are enabled to determine the nature of the poison or humor in the blood, as every disease originating in the blood has its own peculiar sore or pimple. The skin is not only affected by the poisons generated in the system, but poisons from without enter through the open glands or pores and quickly infect the blood. Mercury rubbed upon the skin will produce Rheumatism, and Poison Oak and Ivy and other wild plants gain easy access to the blood through the skin. Aa 60-called o r m skin diseases originate in the blood, the application PlI tQ OmOMOwmm of powders, soaps and washes can do no permanent mm m m - . . good, but of ten do immense damage by SOft, HQaltnV Sktm closing up the outlet to these little tubes and interfering with the natural action of the skin. The treatment must begin with the blood, and the acid or other pois ons antidoted or neutralized. S. S. S. does this and purifies the circulation, builds up the blood and .flushes the little glands or pores with pure, new blood, and restores healthy action to the skin. The use of cosmetics never yet brought health and beauty to a rough, red, pimply skin or sallow complexion. What is needed is rich, pure blood, such as S. 8. S. makes. It not only relieves you of all disfigur lng blackheads, blotches and irritating, itching eruptions, but improves your general health. S. S. S. contains no mercury, potash, arsenic or other mineral, but is a purely vegetable remedy and the safest and best in all blood and skin troubles.
