G, was criminally assaulted this afternoon bv #n unknown wliate man and is in a critical condition. Ilcr assailant escaped and up to a lato hour tonight iiftd not been caught. Excitement was at fever pitch at Lang-ley tonight. The woods around the village are literally swarming with crowds of armed men. If the objoct of their search is caught a il* W1" fo,low? Respite the fact that Sheriff Raborn was early on the scene and is doing all lie can to persuade the crowds to be sansiled with capturing the assailant. At a late hour scores of citizens and a number officers are still scouring (ho country, but no arrests have been made. About 4 o'clock this afternoon as the little girl was returning home from school she was approached by the man, who told hor that he lost 1 our dollars and would give her half ?f i(" if *,,e would assist him in his search.

Relatively Greater for Tuberculosis and Pneumonia. New Orleans Times-Democrat.. I The census bureau's report on mortality statistics for 15)00, made public some days ago, while by no means covering the entire country, presents some interesting and significant fig. ures on the prevalence of tuberculosis and its alarming growth among the negroes. The report is based upon mortality returns from fi fit ecu Commonwealths, which are classed as registration States, the District of Columbia and seventy-seven cities in which satisfactory returns were secured from the municipal authorities. As no Southern State, save Maryland, is included in the "registration" class, the data, s<> far as this section is concerned, is not of j.Tcal value. But the prevalence of tuberculosis among the negroes of other sections and in the regis! rat ion cities outside of (he fifteen registration States is strikingly shown. , In cities where negroes compose ID iter cent or over of the population the l /color line was for the first time drawn, Bg |fmd it is reported that, while the averBBL..jige white death rate in those munici|Et|)alities was 17.2 per cent, the black itj|||8|leath rate was 2S.I per cent, about gfU'0 per cent, higher. The higher rate (9Vaimong the latter race is attributed jjiPpy principally to their susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis and pueuSBp monia. These two diseases in all tire mortality reports stand at the head of the list, the former having caused B -lo0.4 deaths per .100,000 of population and the latter 140.0. Of the registraffi tion States, Maryland had the sceond I highest death rate from consumption, ja-< and here its spread among tire negroes B is strikingly shown by the fact that B the mortality rate for the black was B 321.0 per 100,000 and oniv 140.1 for R the white. California led the list, be cause many sufferers from the dis ('ase had gone there froiii other secB tions of the country. Tn the city of Mobile the negro death rale was 025.2 per 100,000 and the white 220.2. Tn B discussing those returns the bureau statisticians comment on the fact that K the mortality fro mtubcrculosis inB creases with t by' percentage of neuro H population, bo/h in the registration K cities and ifi all the registration K I hi- TacJ i< already well kuowi^ ^ I h i' uii liou I the si >u 111, | id j | j < con fi v ft inaiion by the census bureau is of ts W pecial local interest just now, becr.i'usf a* in y r \ / ol tlio recent meeting of (ho Ijouisiatia ] Stale Medical, Dental and Pharmaeeutical association, a negro association . formed to combat the spread of tuberculosis among the race. Plans for a systematic campaign were discussed and the assistance of the State board of health was tendered to the members of the association. The movement deserves the cooperation of all. If tuberculosis is to be successfully fought in the south it must, of course, be stamped out among the negroes, for its prevalence ' among them is a constant menace to t'heir white neighbors. Much may be accomplished by teaching the negroes the prime importance of sanitation and ventilation, and the members of the association, if they will but carry out their avowed intentions, can do a great deal toward the protection of their people from the ravages of the disease.

I | SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA. | | Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed "Without Use of Injurious Drugs. Croat inventors often have been praised for surrendering the sccrcts of their discoveries. Praoticallv the same thing happened in the medical world in the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of Chicago. Mr. Dennis, in his own office practice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergrcen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was practically a sure specific for TCczcma, psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum, and other itching skin diseases. But the oil of wintergreen alone was found ineffective. Tt required other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the wintergreen, to produce the real eczema cure. This compounded D. D. D. Prescription positively takes away the itch at once?the instant it is applied to the skin.

Sonu> say "No." ) The real question is, "What is I meant by Kczema?" It' you mean those scaly eruptions, those diseases which make their first appearance, not at birth, but years afterward, and perhaps not until middle age?then there can no longer be any question that these forms of Kczema are curable. Simple vegetable oil of wintergreon, mixed with other vegetable ingredients, will kill the germs that infest t the skin. Apply this prescription to the skin, and instantly that awful itch is gone. The very moment the liquid is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing itch disappears, and continued applicatoiis of this external remedy soon cuiv the disease. We carry in slock this oil of wintergreon properly compounded ink I). I >. I). Prescription. While wo aiv not siiiv that il will cure all those cases of skin trouble which are inherited. we positively know that this1 1). 1). I>. Prescription, whenever rightly used, will cure every last case ol ' genuine Kczema or other skin trou I hie. which did not exist at birth. ANKING! SAVINGS BANK.
