Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucus lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en- tirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca tarrh) that we can not cure by taking HalPs Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.

 Sometime ago the members of Do- yer lodge No. IT, F. & A. M. were startled by the discovery that some one had entered the lodge room and des- boiled 1t of its jewels. The matter was kept quis. for time and 8 committee appointed to ferret out the author of the outrage if possible. Suspicion pointed to certain person in the community, but evidence was lacking to fix the guilt upon him until the burglary of hsV. OtUWeFb IeStuoHCo ihSL CabuFuhf night. The burglar and the jewell thief suspect being one and the same person, he was charged with stealing the jewels and at once confessed the crime. He went to the old J. B. Eau cett residence and brought them forth from under tho house where he had concealed them. They were all recov- cred save one, and that one is possibly in possession of his accomplice in the crime. Cal. Haddox is the name of the young criminal. He is now in jail here awaiting the next term of circuit court, after which he will doubtless enter up- on pretty long term in the state pris- on for his offenses.

Catarrh

s blood disease. Until the poison Is | expelled from the system, there can be no cure for this loathsome and dangerous malady. Therefore, the only effective treatment is a thorough course of Ayers Sarsapariila = the best of all blood purifiers. The sooner you begin the better delay is dangerous.
 "I was troubled with catarrh for over two years. l tried various remedies, and was treated by number of physi- cians, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayers Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured me of this troublesome complaint and com pletely restored my health. ."-Jesse M. Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. c.

Editor DEMOCRAT:
 Having noticed that there is a move- ment on foot m this State for the ben evolent purpose of establishing a home for indigent ex-Confederate soldiers, we feel that the charitable projectors of the laudable enterprise should have not only the approval of the ex-soldiers but their hearty substantial assistance as we'll. After conferring with per- sons from different parts of the county we have decided to call a meeting at Gravel Hill, on Thursday August 1st, 1889, for the purpose of having a re-un- ion of the ex-Confedsrates of Pope county and to render what assista nee may be deemed necessary to aid in the establishment of the Home for the needy, poverty stricken, war-worn vet. eran who wore the Gray.

OIL INSPECTION.

The GLOBE has been consistent and
somewhat persistent advocate of max
ing all the public offices salaried ones;
therefore it is more than usually graft
fed by the expression of legislative
sentiment in that direction yesterday.
By vote of nearly two to one the
lower house of the legislature, in COM
mittee of the whole, decided that the
oil inSpectorship should be made sal
aried office. If the statements made by
members on the floor of the legislature
are correct, and there is no reason to
doubt them. the Office of oil inspector
in this stale has been gold mine for
the incumbents. The opportunities for
amassing fortune from the fees of the
Office are marvellous. There is neither
reason nor justice in creating a public
office for individual emoiumeDt. II oil
inspection is public necessity, and we
assume it to be, the official in charge of
the business should receive fair liv-
ing salary, just as other public officers
do, and be paid out of the state treas
ury, just as other state officers are paid.
But all the revenues derived from oil
inspection should go directly into tine
public treasury. This proposition en-
bodies the only correct principle for the
creation and government of public
offices; therefore, the GLOBE has stead
lily urged that there should be no yaria-
tion from il.

THE COPPER RING,
Losses Enormous, But No Gem
eral Panic Apprehended.

LONDON, March 15.-The Compton
d'Escompte, the copper ring and the
Societe des Metauy monopolize the at
tentiol of financiers. 1t. is still hoped
that all will eventually meet their liza
bilities. Although the magnitude of
the losses is appalling, the effect will
be circumscribed among those actually
interested. Neither a widespread panic
nor a general financial disaster will
ensue. In some quarters the liquida-
ton of the Compton d'Escompte
and its reconstruction, with the
cooperation of leading bankers and
under new management, is
advocated, the present shareholders to
have the privilege of subscribing for
the new capital at par. The situation
is improving, and the outlook is better.
The SkepticiSm Of American mine own
ers regarding the unanimity of the

Gates offer is believed to have been
greatly overcome, the English and
American companies working harmoni-
ously. American delegates are expected
in Europe at the end of March. when
another combination or trust will prob
ably be formed under the Ma thesons'
auspices to fix the price and supply at
figures that will enable the Societe des
MetauX to meet its engagements. The
formation of an English syndicate
would result in the copper trade re-
turning to England. English capital
being required to hold stock, English
agents would be employed to reach con-

soCIALisTIC ACTIVITY,
In the Munich Elections the
Socialists Will Work Hard.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, March 15.-The socialists of
Munich are making extensive prepara-
tlons for the coming elections. Work
ing committees have been formed and
meetings are nightly held in hall,
which, though extraordinarily COM
modlouss, in entirely inadequate to ac-
commodate the large crowds that
flock to its doors and clamor for adj
mission. The decorators of Berlin have
resolved to inaugurate strike which
will include all of the members of the
craft within radius of many miles OF
the city. In cooperation with the
leaders of this movement, delegates
representing the polisherS of eleven
large cities and towns have held
meeting at Hamburg and passed resolu-
tions binding the men they represent,
to strike as soon as spring shall be Suffi-
clently far advanced to increase the de-
mand for their services to the max
lmum. A committee was appointed to
select the city or town in which the
strike shall be begun. and to indicate
the towns which shall follow.
The privileges granted by the
perial bank will expire on Jan.
1, 1890. and in view of this fact the Ger
man bi-metallists are already demand
ing the transformation of the Institution
INTO state bank at the expiration of
the concessions. William Saunders, the
philanthropiSt and former member of
parliament for Hull, now a member of
the New London county council, has an
nopnced his intention to introduce a
motion at the next sitting of the council
that the council retain ownership of all
lands acquired by the municipality
under the new programme and parcel
them out by perpetual leases, SUBJ
Ject to revaluation from time to time,
as the value of the lands may in
crease or diminish. The mother of
Prof. Geffeken has just died at the age
of ninety-one. The assertion that Aus
tria is preparing to make war upon Ser
via is officially denied. Queen Natalie
Will shortly make application to have
the divorce obtained from her by her
husband, through Metropolitan Theodo-
sius, annulled. Disastrous floods are
prevalent throughout Galieia. Several
towns and many villages are SUBJ

WHAT CONGRESS DID.

When the mind is shaping ideas of
fnefficiency and inattention to business
in congress, it may be noted that the
late congress had in its range 1900
bills and resolutions, and actually passed
1.791 Of them. Nearly three-quarters of
these were private measures. In addi-
ton, Mr. CLEVELAND vetoed 146 bills
and served 27S in this way during his
term. No president has ever vetoed
measures in such volume. 1t was not a
popular way, and would not be adopted
by a man who wanted to swim with the
tide, for it may be observed that in
every case he was treading on party
corns more or less. The bills had all
been approved by a Democratic house.
On the whole, the late congress might
have had worse record, as we'll as a
good deal better one. There were fewer
big jobs than usual, and the White
house deserves a good deal of credit in
this connection. There was honesty
and spinal rigidity there, if not much
trimming to popular gales.

THE COPPER TRUST.

The copper mine syndicate may find
sympathy in the dictionary, but not:as
an active quality anywhere, if it does
fall into disastrous wreck as a result of
its attempt to spread itself over the
planet. Ordinary greed would have
been satisfied with robbiug their fellow
citizens under an sS0-a-ton tariff. but
this was not sufficient. These monopo-
lists united with the French syndicate
to buy up the product of the world in
order to double the price. and do the
plumber act on a magnificent scale.
They have loaded themselves down
with about 10000 tons of copper,
nearly years supply for the world,
but it turns up in increasing quantities
all around the world, and a collapse
seems to be but matter of time. Prices
will then fall to the old figures and per-
haps lower. from the fact that an over
supply will be thrown upon the market,
aud production will be continued in the
new quarters. Good results will come
of the monopolistic greed.
