"CUTICURA TREATMENT
: :r IS A BLESSING"
: "At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cu
ticura. It saved me from worse than s
the tortures of hades, about the year
. 1900, - with itching ; on. my scalp and
temples, and afterwards it commenced
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. I was advised
to use salt and water, which I Hid, to
no effect. I then went to a Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. - I
then told himl would go and see a phy
sician in Erie. ' The reply was that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
eczema like mine could not bo cured;
tjtat I was too old (80). I went to an
t eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, ,with
like results. I had read of i the Cu
ticura Remedies often, j I was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so I sent
for the Cuticura" Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking Aha
. Resolvent until I had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the Pills. I was now
getting better. I took two baths a day,
and at night I let the lather of the Soap
dry on. I "used the Ointment with
great effect - after washing in warm
water, to atop the itching at once. . I
am now cured. " - - -,
"The Cuticura treatment b a blessing
and should bo used by every one who
has itching of the skin. I can't aay any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curative, v You can -use
this letter as you please. A very
much befriended man, WmTH. Gray,

- Raleigh, March 7. Dr. Pratt states
to your correspondent that the whole
subject will be thoroughly gone into
and that a general investigation will be
made of the Neuse, Pamlico, and Cape
Fear rivers, and Pamlico sound, to the
end that the State authorities may have
at hand such valuable data and informs
tion on which to" base their actions
toward the betterment of fisheries con
ditions. It is the aim of these gentle
men through the regular channels of
legislation to equalize the laws attend
ant upon the situation, and thereby to
increase the production of fish as a
foodjupply, not only to the people of
the : immediate coast section but to
i hose all over the State who are ' more
peedily" being brought into 'closer
touch with the coast markets by a rea
son of the activity of capital which is
opening up traffic avenues by means of
new raiboads. Dr. Vratt expects to
spend the remainder of this week in
and about Wilmington when he will re
turn to Raleigh Saturday for a more
detailed conference with Governor
Olenar . :-'p:.; - "
Revenue officers returning to Person
county tell of a raid just made and a
capture by the sheriff of that county of
an UUcit distilling outfit, of 85 gallons
capacity, ' with worm' and cap. A
quantity of beer 'and fermenting vats
were destroyed, and the still was locked
up in the county jail for safe keeping
until it could be turned ovejr to the
deputy revenue collectors. Although
theV still was in operation the "pro
prietors" could not be apprehended.
It is of interest to note that there
were 2,825 people u North Caroline
who made income tax returns, the to
tal of which was ; $27,988, 00a The
counties in line of returns by numbers
were Wake 255; New , Hanover 244:

It has has been understood for some
time that J. Crawford, Biggs, the Su
preme court reporter is a candidate for
judge in the Gremsboro-Durham dis
trict, and it has even been claimed by
his friends that he has the nomination
assured to him having Durham and
Granville solidly behind him with an
excellent chance to get about two-thirds
of Person, and Alamance and a pretty
fair support In Orange county. The im
pression seems to havs gotten out that
Judge Shaw's friends were making 'no
effort to send the 'tide against him, but
the Journal correspondent learns today
tht the friends of Judge Shew are ac
tively organising in his interest and
that Senator Alfred M. Scales of
Greensboro' is to lead in his fight for
the judgeships There are certain Indl-
cati na that some rather lively work
will be done by the supporters of these
two opponents. "
