PRESENTS BRIEF IN
 CHATTANOOGA CASE
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS CONSPlR- ACY EXISTED BETWEEN SHEER IFF AND LYNCHERS WHICH PER- MITTED JoHNsoN's DEATH.


 Washington. November 26.-(Special)- Solicitor General Hoyt today presented to the supreme court the governments brief in the contempt case of Sheriff John F. Shipp and others of Chattanooga, who allowed lynchers to take negro prisoner named Johnson from them after the lat ter had been granted a stay of execution by the highest tribunal in the land. The government claims a conspicary existed between the sheriff and the lynchers, and contends that the supreme court has complete jurisdiction to punish for con- tempt.
 "Of eourse,' recites the brief, "the schocking occurrence, conceived in law lessness aud revenge. carried on by vio- lence, and ending with murder at the hands of the mob, was an offense against the state, as well as against the United States and this court. But the same may be crime both against state and the United States, and the United States has full power to punish whether the state does or not"

Local Items.

Discussion of the manner in which the sewer assessments will be made is in- teresting to property owners, for within a few weeks the city will call upon it's citizens to pay for one of the greatest ad- vantages which has ever been installed. It is claimed by some that the only prac- tical way to make these assessments IS upon the value of the property, while oth- CTS believe that such plan would re- suit in endless trouble, and that the tax should be placed equally on every front foot. The issue may become a live one when it comes up for settlement
 There are only few more days remain ing for the annual taxes to be paid.

GOULD NOT REST
 NIGHT 0R DAY
With Irritating Skin Humor-Whole Body Affected Scalp Itched All the Time and Hair Began to Fall Out-WonderfuI Result From
APPLICATION OF
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I am never without Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment since I tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then 1 began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but 1 became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Espe- cially at night, just as soon as l would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before could not rest-night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and 1 did, and the first appli- cation helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take 8 hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and kept getting better, and by the time used four boxes of Cuticura was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out, but I continue to use the Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan- always use Cuticura Ointment on my face after shaving, and have found nothing to equal it. I will never be without it." D. E. Blankenship,

Attorneys Interested.

The meeting of the Jefferson County Bar association next Friday will be at- tended by a number of Bessemer attor- neys, who are deeply interested in the proposed bill regulating the jurisdiction of courts in the county The report which became current that several speakers at the meeting on last Saturday had advo- cated a clause abolishing the city court of Bessemer caused much indignation here, and any attempt to bring this about will meet a stubborn opposition.
 The general opinion is that the citizens of this end of the country are now bearing too great hardship in being forced to go all the way to Birmingham, by the re- striction placed on the Jurisdiction of tho Bessemer court in the Morrow bill, and a fight will be made to have this law re- pealed Persons interested in suits dread the long trips to Birmingham, where, 1t is said to be more than likely that the case will be postponed time and again.

Dies From Fall.

The unknown white man, who was found under the coal shute at the stock house of the new Robertstown furnace, died this afternoon at the Feeders hos pita1, as result of a fractured skull. The man is thought to have become in toxicated Saturday night and wandered up the tressle until he finally fell through to the ground, distance of sixty-fiye feet.
 The body is now lying in the unde' ing parlors of Kennedy Bros, where it may be seen by those who may be able to identify it. The peculiar coincidence of two such cases in the same week is quite surprising to the undertakers here, as it is seldom that so much trouble is experienced in identifying the remains of deceased persons.

Hunqarians at Feeders.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has brought another party of Hungarians to the mines at Feeders, where they will join the already large force of foreigners. They were brought direct from the landing point and arrived early this morning, sturdy, healthy set of fellows, who looked to be thoroughly capable of the most strenuous labor.
 Their ability to do this class of work without grumbling and to be peacable and attend to their own business is lead ing the large corporations to substitute them in the place of the negro wherever possible As miners they are unexcelled, being already partially acquainted with the work in the old country. It is for these immigrants that a number of the houses now being constructed at Readers will be used.
