past year will be given to sustain these contentious. But the expansion or the Tennessee company's plant will tremend- ously increase it's output and upset all minimizing figures.
 President Roosevelt, in his letter to the Attorney General, telling of the call ma de upon him by Judge Gary and H. C. Prick said: '"They inform me that the policy of inc company has been to decline to ac- oure moreethan 60 per cent of the steel properties; that 1t is below this 60 per cent and the acquisition of the property in question (Tennessee) will not raise it above 60 per cent"
 In the open hearth steel rail business, the capacity of all plants Is as follows: Steel corporation, Gary plant, S0.000 tons, and Birmingham plant 650,oOO tons; inde- pendent plants, Bethelem, 350,00o tons. The Steel trust, therefore, in this particular line, controls 80 per cent or the out put.
 The interest charge on the $S5,000,o00 of per cent bonds issued by the Steel cor poration to pay the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, amounts to N,7oo, 900. According to estimates the net earn ings of the property in the past year were not nearly so much. It's best year of operation under old management did not net much more than s1,oO0,00o appli- cable for dividends In addition. the Steel corporation as stated has put some 5.OOo,- 900 into Improvements, increasing its in- test charfge by s250.oo0.
 Assuming that the company equalled it's former record of profits and netted a million, the Steel corporation is out a round million dollars on the years record But as has been shown, as soon as tho rail mill gets into full operation there is opportunity for five millions of profits per year, aside from the monopoly of the south

USES CRUTCH
 AS WEAPON

Enoch Thach, a son of Ham, who is a barber by trade and one-legged by acci- dent, and who is compelled to use crutch, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Louis R. Dean on an assault and battery charge.

LAME BACK AND RHEUMATIC PAINS
Are Natures Danger SIgnas-Pre- scrption from Prominent Druggist.

The following prescription, while very simple and harmless, will be found to work wonders in curing lame back and all kinds of rheumatism, purifying the blood and kidneys and restoring the sys- tenn to normal health and vigor It Is inexpensive considering it's effectiveness. and can be mixed at home The ingred- tents are well known and can be supplied by any well-stocked drug store:
 .'One ounce compound syrup of Sar- saparilla; one ounce Toris compound. These to be added to half pint of whisky and used in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bed time. The bottle must be shaken well oach time"
 Good results from this treatment come after the first few doses, although it would be mistake to discontinue Its use until the health is fully restored.

The number of voters this year should be 10000 or more and it is easily to be seen that it will be something of job to ae- commodate 62O0 people at the poll tax window in five or six days.
 ''The rush will begin in a day or two, however, I am satisfied. Something ought to be done to whoop up the people little bit, and make them qualify themselves immediately before they are locked out. There is no telling what special elections may come up, and besides the schools Of the county need the poll tax money badly"
