! LONDON, Jan. 21.-With a view to
facilitating the speedy absorption OF
the present stock of diamonds the
Premier Diamond Mining Company
announces a further reduction in the
output of 10000 carats monthly until
the prevailing depression passes of.
The diamond syndicate, which prac-
tically controls the whole worlds out
put, amounting to $4O,0OO,OO0 to $780,
100000 annually, also has come to
the support of the market, and has

American demand will be short lived,

ITCHING HUMOR
ON LITTLE BOY
His Hands we're a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread Ali Over His Body
In Four Days the Child was
Entirely Cured Mother Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT

Zone day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being
so good for itching sores, etc, that /
thought l would get them. BY this
time the disease had spread all over his
body, and his hands were nothing but
a solid mass of this itching disease. l
went to the drug store and purchased
a box Of Cuticura Soap and one box of
Cuticura Ointment, and that night l
stripped my little boy and took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then l dried him
with soft bath towel, and took the
Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with it. / did this every
evening before l put him to bed and in
three or four nights he was entirely
cured. You have my permission to
publish this because anybody who slIf-
fered as my baby did ought to know OF
the Cuticura Remedies. ! will surely
and gladly recommend the Cutioura
Remedies, for they are godsend to all
suffering with skin diseases. Mrs. Frank

SCALPERS LOSE
LAST CONTEST
SWEEPING ORDER BY U. s. COURT
AT NEW ORLEANS ENDS
BUSINESS.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.-Ticket
scalpers today lost their fight in the
United States Circuit Court here to
save part of their business from the
recent United States Supreme Court
order making ticket scalping illegal.
The scalpers asked the Circuit Court
for decree making the Supreme
Court decision applicable only to those
tickets bearing the signature OF the
purchaser. This decree was refused,
the court deciding that all the tickets
the terms OF whose printed contracts
made them non-transferrable, whether
signed or not, are embraced by the
Supreme Court decision
The New Orleans scalpers say to-
days decision will serve as a pre-
cedent for adverse decisions in sim
Mar suits of scalpers which have been
filed in various parts Of the country,
The decision was by Judge e. d.
Saunders.

now in existence. he understood
were not valid. although he had no
seen them and could not express him
self definitely on that point. How
ever. he did not believe It would TAX,
SO long to complete these contracts
as had been stated and thought thai
they could be finished within two
years. The present short section Of
road could be finished within two
months and that was the last contract
in that section OF the county and the
work house Is then to be moved to
the terminus OF the Pulaski pike,
which win be built to the Giles county
line. He mentioned several other
contracts and told how long he
thought it would take to complete
them. He said the present road law
was without doubt. imperfect. but he
thought under the law the Quarterly
Court had nothing at all to do with
the disposition Of the work house
forces. That the matter was entirely
with the road commissioners, and any
legal action looking TO the abolition
of the work house or the cancellation
Of any existing legal contracts would
have to be fled by private citizen.
That this action could not be decided
before the next session Of the Legis-
lature, so he thought the best plan
was to uphold the present law and
assist in the carrying out Of its pro-
visions, and then when the Legisla-
ture does meet to have the imperfec-
lions of the law cured.
The court took this view of the ques-
ton and there was no further discus
sion of the matter.
