Regards Evans as Being Ideal.

Washington, Feb. ia sensational
feature OF the Tennessee republican
imbroglio was precipitated here today
when Representative W. P. Brownlow
charged James @. McReynolds, assist
ant United Stated attorney gensral,
with being supporter of Fl. Clay Ev-
ans, and that he has, in his capacity as
assistant attorney general, defeated the
Brownlow bill for an additional federal
judgeship in Tennessee.
Judge Mercy nolds said that, so far
as being supporter of Evans was con-
cerned, he felt that he was free to say
whom he thought best fitted for the
governorship of Tennessee, and that,
while having no intention of 'butting
in" in Tennessee politics, he thought
Mr.. Evans was the ideal candidate, and
in his opinion could be elected and
would make an excellent executive.
He said he was surprised when he
learned that two-thirds of the cases
tried by the federal courts of Tennes-
see were either nolle pressed or plea
of guilty entered. Alabama, with more
federal cases than Tennessee, got along
with two courts, and, as fact, he did
not think there we're enough cases up
to the present to Justify three federal
judges, TO say nothing about third
court.4swhlch tho Brownlow bill pro-
posed. Mr.. NIcReynolds said in con-
clusion
"The bill TO create a new Judge in
Tennessee was referred TO the depart
ment of Justice from the Judiciary com
mittee of the nouse, and after careful
Investigation it was ascartained that,
Judging by what judges In other states
are doing, two judges could easily dis
pose of all the business in the federal
courts of Tennessee The department
consequently recommended against the
bin."

Cox flashed in the pan in Shelby
county. Not having any strength there
he attempted to conceal the fact by
resorting to the courts for mandamus
to compel the executive committee to
hold the gubernatorial primary on
March Is. The alternative mandamus
will be heard on its merits Saturday.
In the meantime the wards and dis
tricts held conventions and sent solid
Patterson delegations to the eonyen-
tion that was held Thursday, and
Shelby county unanimously and over
whelmingly endorsed Gen. Patterson.
1t also endorsed Len K. Hart for treas

ECZEMA CURED
After Years OF UnspeakabIs Torture
Read the Words Of Man, Who After DoctOrlng

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept z, 1901 am just
another one your remedy has cured and want

My attention was called to the d S by dis

decided at once to try it, having little faith in
anything My trouble was Eczema on the
fingers under the nails and particularly the
first Joint; the skin would look Scalded and the
little cells would connect like o sponge under
the skin; sometimes there would be very bad
odor with the discharge, ! tried everything
could hear of, and went to six doctors, two OF
them being intimate friends. They did every
thing they possibly could and studied the thing
up but of no use. The other doctors thought
they could cure by a regular course of treatment.
l was willing to be experimental upon If any
possible chance for relief. This thing had been
going on for over two years. when to my great
comfort DIS came to my hands. Your
remedy gave me more cure in two days than any
Of the six doctors effected in over two years.
and inside oftwo weeks had new healthy skin on
all Of my once rotten fingers, as termed them.
also wish to say that any one of the six
doctors are as good as we have in d. NJ, and
that my two friends have prescribed your rem
edy to their entire satisfaction for the past two
years or since my cure Don't let this formula
ever go to the grave, for hU1sdRttV'S sake,

hope to be able to direct more sufferers to you,

IS GOVERNOR COX ELIGIBLE?
NonPaymen of Commissions Into the State Treasury May
Have Serious Effect on His Candidacy

to him the receipt in full. And
we report that MIR. Cox was not entitled
to retain anything whatever out of the
$S5O.OO or the $ls523 paid to him by
Mr.. Poindexter, and that the sum so
retained should be paid by Mr.. Cox
into the treasurer's Office for the credit
of Mr.. Poindexter. "
In response to Senator A. G.. Ewing's
letter of February 10, 1906, to Comp.
troller Frank Dibrell, with reference
to the commissions retained by Gov
ernor, then Revenue Agent, Cox, ont
of the $35OOO and the 1885,. % paid him
by Poindexter, Comptroller Dibrell re-
piled as follows in q letter of February
IA, 1906:
"Hon. A. G. Ewing, Nashville, Tenn. :
Dear Sir-As to your inquiry in re-
gard to the Is per cent. of the $3.50. 90
and the Is per cent. of the 1885, 90, John
l. Cox has not paid this amount into
this Office to the credit of Poindexter's
account or for any other credit"
Comptroller Dibrell also states that
John I. Cox has not paid SAB 80 into
this office to be placed to the credit of
Poindexter's account or for any other
account"
The report of the legislative commit
tee says that Mr.. Cox admitted before
the committee that Poindexter was not
liable and ought not to have paid any
commission whatever on this $3.50. 90
and this $1S5.23, and further reports
that he should repay these commissions
into the state treasury. Comptroller
Dibrell in his letter says that Mr.. Cox
has never paid these amounts into the
treasury. Is Mr.. Cox in default to the

that he could not carry the county over
