DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED

by local applications, 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 condition
of the mucous lining of the eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when tits entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfnces
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that We
cannot cure by taking Halls catarrh cure.

Mr.. H. e. Burn, Chairman, and others,
Society Hill, S. c.
Dear Sirs: have carefully considered
the resolutions passed by the late Demo-
cratic convention, and which I had the
honor to receive at your hands, in regard to
the recent appointment of commissioners of
election in this State. have been forced
to the conclusion that neither right nor law
would justify the removal Of any of these
citizens-among the most Intelligent and
patriotic in the land--without the assign
ment of sufficient cause.
These appointments were not made until
the last day allowed by law, so as to permit
Of such suggestions and Information as
might be submitted, but they were never
profered, and IN the absence of such infor-
nation and suggestions the selection Of
these important officials was made solely
with the view of securing for the people the
fairest possible expression of their will at
the polls. From the high character and
intelligence of these appointees, this result
I feel confident, is assured.
For the reasons already stated, and be-
cause it would be an improper use of my
authority as governor to remove officers
without cause, am compelled, with the ut
most Difference and respect for the express
ed wish of the convention, to decline to
accede to the request of the resolution.
have the honor to be- with great respect,
your obedieut servant,
J. p. RICHARDSON,

the Request of the Democratic State
Convention.

COnYentlOn.
COLUMBIA, Sep. 15.-Governor Richard
son has refused the request of the recent
State convention to recall his appointment
of commissioners Of election. The answer,
dated Saturday, was given out for publica.
ton to-day. Following are the resolutions
adopted by the convention:
WHEREAS, it is due to our dignity and
self-respect as representatives of South Car
ol,na to cherish the glory and fame Of her
sons as a common hostage, and we sEall al
ways respect and honor those in authority
over us, and that no act Of ours shall call in
question the purity Of our motives or queS-
ton their exalted patriotism, without first
laving our complaint before them fer due
consideration, in order that they may table
such action, as will be approved and COM
mended by the people, therefore be it
Resolced, That special committe OF FIVE
members of this convention be appointed
by the Chair to call on Governor j. P. Rich
ardson and request his excellency to recall
the appointment of election commissioners
for the approaching State and federal cleo
tioa, and that he consult the chairmen Of
the respective county executive committees,
as has been the custom, before making new
appointments.
Resolved, further, That this resolution is
not intended as reflection on Governor
Richardson or his appointments, but sim
piy to call his attention to the fact taat the
majority faction of the Democratic party is
not fairly represented in the board OF cleo
ton commissioners.

For The Ellsworth American.

From pamphlet issued BY Mr., John
Murray Howe, agent for tie Cape Roster
Association las well as for other parties
owning land around Penobscot Bay we
extract the following
1t is not likely that many people realize
that Peuobscot Bay is the largest one up
on the Maine coast, and contains the great
est number Of and the largest individual,
islands in the aggregate of any bay on the
New England shore. These islands exceed
800 in number varying from one-half acre
in area to one comprising two large town
ships in one island. a description OF all
the beautiful islands, deep water channels,
harbors, thoroughfares. reaches, rivers
and other tributaries, together with the
abrupt cliffs, beaches, mountains, shores
and beautiful woods, would require very
large volume and then hardly do justice
even partially to the subject. To discover
the beauties of this section one must only
90 into it. Its variety of lovely scenery Is
too great to generalize with either pen or
pencil. At one point you VIII pe soiiint,
on Hudson River with its beautiful
mountain shores, but with clear tidal salt
water. Again you are among the "Thous-
and Isles" or short distance beyond,
once more may be under some cliff, bare
and grassy at its submits, as if on the
Irish coast and with hundreds of white
and gray sea gulls, disturbed at your sp-
proach, wheeling around their nests at the
crests of the precipice. Sailing onward per-
haps Is a rapid transposition to passages
among low islands clad with dark spruces
to the juttlng, rocky points at the waters
| edge. Once more you will pass through
| some deep narrow passage into land-
| locked basin with wooded shores and safe
anchorage which you can only compare
with some of the wonderful harbors in the
inland sea of Japan.
