Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
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 infamed con-
dition of the mucus lining Of the Eus-
tachlan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tireIy closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out aud this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition Of the mucus sur
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh), that we cannot cure by taking
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

Fair Week Attractions.
TColumbia Register, 18th. /

There has been arranged more ex-
tensive and elaborate programme Of at
fractions for this year than has ever be-
fore been attempted.
Included therein will be band con-
certs Monday evening and Tuesday
forenoon and evening. On "Wednesday,
at II a. m, will begin the sham battle,
in which 10000 rounds of ammunition
will be used. Some eight or ten COM
panies are booked to participate, and
the Gatling gun, agreat curiosity in it
self, will be brought from Charleston
and detailed to defend the fort.
On Wednesday night The irrepress-
ible Callithumpians will! parade, and
there will be display of fireworks.
On Thursday morning, at the fair
grounds, will take place the grand sabre
re tournament, and the prizes offered
are liberal enough to attract the attend
ance of knights from all over the State,
and possibly beyond its borders, to
compete.
On Thursday evening the grand
trades display will take place, and to
aid in illuminating the spectacle a
large amount of colored lights has
been ordered.
On Friday night all the displays will
unite in one grand procession and the
closing attraction of the week will be
made to equal any preceding it.
To do all this will require money,
probably about 81, 500. Columbia wants
thousands of visitors and must see that
they are given inducements in the way
of attractions to bring them. Theil
presence will mean a boom in every
line of business, and it is to be hoped
all will contribute literally.

THE ALLIANCE IN A FIGHT.
A Battle in the Streets Of an Alabama
Town-Two Men Killed and Several
Mortally Wounded-The Town in
q State of Terror.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. l5.-A spe-
cial to the Advertiser says that III a
difficulty at Dothan yesterday seven
men were shot. Two are dead and an
other is dying. The trouble arose be-
tween the town council and the dray-
men of the farmers warehouse. The
latter refused to pay a license required
by the town authorities. They were
several times arrested for violating the
ordinance and fined, and this caused
trouble between the farmers and the
town. Both marshals. were shot and
one will die. Two drayinen defying
the law were killed. Trouble was ex-
pected last night and the town was
we'll guarded. Many enraged farmers
are in town to-day but ali is quiet.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. l5.-At ten
o'clock. last night the Constitution
started out a special engine. for Balm
bridge, in charge Of Col. B. E. Russell to
investigate the rumored riot atDorthan,
Henry County, Ala. The engine
reached the place at one o'clock this
morning. The facts were found to be
as follows: The Farmers Alliance Of
Henry County had established a ware
house at Dorthan. The town authori-
ties sought to collect license from the
drays which they employed by other
business houses. George II. Stringer,
manager of the farmers warehouse, to
test the law undertook to drive one of
the drays himself. Then he was arrested
and his trial set for yesterday. The
Alliance men attended the trial in force
and B. Stringer, a relative of George
Stringer, the man to be tried, tiourished
a knife and made for the marshal. This
started the trouble and fnsilade OF
shots took place. George NJ. Stringer
and jeff Wrinkles, of the Alliance force
fell dead and Peter Few, Green Strin-
ger and B. Stringer were seriously
wounded. Marshal J. L, Domingoes
and Deputy Marshal Park Howell and
town man, w. B. Cadock, were
mortalIy wounded. The terror which
reigned the rest of the day was indes-
cribable. The people were in fear all
night Of renewal of the attack. The
farmers claim that the town people
treated them wrongfully and claim the
result was Inevitable under the provo
cation gwen. ,

TWO PRACTICAL JOKES
Which Were Played on Two Dry Goods
Clerks in Savannah.

The remark made by an Augusta
carpenter in Savannah about high sal
aries paid in Nicaragua was the cause
ofa huge joke being perpetrated on a
Savannah dry goods clerk.
He was kept in state of nervous sus-
pense three or four days by telegraph
ic offer from a fictitious agent of $3.50
per month as floor walker in Nicara-
guam dry goods establishment. The
poor fellow was decoyed to Charleston
and ordered to Macon and then home
by telegram from the agent (who
didn't show up) and at last realized
that he had been cruelty duped.
The joke got out and everybody
guyed him. The unfortunate calico
butcher then resolved on revenge, and
he got it.
The joker was knocked completely
out by the appearance of negro con-
stable at his store, with warrant for
his arrest, in which it was set forth that
he was "guilty Of malicious mischief,
causing deponent loss OF money and
great distress of mind by reason Of So
called practical joke.'
The negro officer took pains to march
the unfortunate fellow through the
principal streets, and then make him
| walk three miles out in the country.
There he was Informed that the whole
thing was hoax-warrart, constable
and all.
He realized that he was the victim ol
his own joke-that it was practically d
boomerang.
Both victims are as mad az hornets

She did not come nor did she send
an apology. She had spoken from the
lips only, and she had supposed my in
vitation was purely polite one, which
would be satisfied with Il speedy prom
ise and tardy fulfillment. But fine
code of honor in these small matters
permits no carelessness of invitation or
reply.
i'll say to friend in passing, "Come
around and see me tomorrow" it is
my duty to remain at home during
that day, or to send word if obliged to
60 out. We have no right to say these
things on impulse, and then waive the
responsibility they incur.
1t savors of moral worthlessness and
responsibility.
once knew a gentleman who was
prone to make cordial speeches to peo-
pie in whom he really felt no interest.
In public conveyance one Saturday
morning he encountered an acquaint-
ance from a neighboring city, who was
iourneying to another State in COM
pany with his wife. Nov, my friend
had but slight acquaintance with the
couple, and really felt no especial re-
gard for them; but with an effusive air
he smiled, and said: II wish you were
not obliged to hasten ON your way, we
should be delighted TO have you stay
over Sunday with u.s." To his utter
amazement the couple conferred to-
gether and accepted his invitation with
thanks.
When he arrived home with his
encumbrances he found that his wife
had given the servant holiday, and
that the presence of these almost stran-
gers would utterly spoil the pleasure of
the Sunday dinner to which she had
invited a few intimate friends Oh the
day before.
"What OH earth made YOU ask those
people to come home with you?' cried
the wife in despairing tones.
because I never dreamed they
would accept" explained the husband.
Alas, too many. invitations are given
because the people are not expected to
accept! .'-.
wish the expanding minds of chill
dren could be inoculated with the vast
Importance of sincerity in speech and
action. 1 wish they could be indelibly
impressed with the idea that to make
ever so small a promise, or to give ever
80 casual an invitation for the sake OF
creating pleasant impression upon the
recipient, it is as reprehensible as pass
ing spurious coin.
Morals are matters requiring several
generations to rectify, and human be-
ings grow more moral i'll tendency
with every century. TIE passions OF
men and women are vast emotions,
which only the Creator and time can
control and improve. The most ststrictly
educated and carefully trained men
and women sometimes become the
most immoral in after life, and in our
search for good, whether in our own
hearts or our neighbor's, we are con-
stantly surprised by stumbling upon
hidden propensities for evil. We are
all working out toward something
higher. But as we go, We might help
the growing generation by teaching it
to be sincere above all things, and
strictly accurate in keeping its word.
