Deafness Can't Be Cured

by | aal application, as they cannot
reacl> the diseased portion OF tue
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deatuess, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucus
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets iIhamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed 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
caused by Catarrh, which is Nothing
but an infiamed condition OF the nlu-
Gus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol,
lars for any case Of Deafness tcauseo
by Catarrh) that We can not cure by
taking HalI's Catarrh Cure. Seno

NO FRRE PASSES AND PRO
HIBITION. - q

The Legislature of S. G. have been
hard at work and are creating great
sensation by some measures they are
passing. The House Of Represen-
tatives has passed the anti-free pass
bill, which was previously passed by
the Senate prohibiting public officers
from obtaing free passes. A bill
prohibiting the sale and manufac-
ture Of liquor in the State has pass
ed the House, and will come up in
the Senate this week.
The whiskey men have been max.
ing a bitter fight. Much interest
throughout the country has beer
manifest, d in these measures.

The Wilmington Messenger in an
editorial comment over Mills defeat
for Speaker says:

editorial comment over Mills defeat
for Speaker says:
We repeat 1t, If all the attempted
legislation ends In simply lifting the
tax from certain articles used In
ing and leaves the peo-
pie at large unfavored, there will
be howl Of derision and contempt
that will be heard In the Text cam
vass for Congressman. The people
are in no mood to be trified with.
The Messenger Is right In one
thing. "The people are in no mood
to be trified with" But If the
Messengers policy were adopted by
Congress, the howl it speaks Of
would be sure to come. From the
first point OF the above paragraph 1t
would seem that the Messenger 10
opposed to tariff reduction along the
line OF free raw materia 8, 30 are
we, but if we remember correctly
that paper was praising Gov. Rus
sell and his platform a few months
since, and that is the kind of a tariff
plank he stands on and on which he
got the manufacturing vote Of his
State. On the other hand we rather
like Speaker Cri,p's plan TO stop
tinkering over schedules las Mills
did) but to take a centre shot at
certain great staples or important
articles in the schedules, to give Z
death blow at one evil at time
The so-called tariff fight in previous
congresses has been to a certain ex-
tent, a kind of farce. It has been
q fight not on a principle but simple
over schedule. 1t has been dis
graceful fight, not so muth by con
gressmen, but by manufactures
each one fighting 10 get the best
rate for his line OF goods bu
disgraceful to congressman tina
they should allow manufactures
to make the laws. For wher
ever Congress goes to chang'
the schedule (not the tariff tn

. you forget that the bankers, railroa
men and SO on do the same thin
when their turn comes.) Crisp i
his tariff policy as so far indicate
seems 10 be inclined to follow som
what in the line marked out by tn
National Alliance at its late Suprem
Q Council at Indianapolis. That bod
I made one master stroke at the tari
C to benefit everybody directly an
= to give additional help to the cotto
il raisers indirectly. 1t asked Congre'
: to take all tariff whatever off CT a

J. consumption by allowing the POI

e could be passed. Why does not Il

THE COTTON RESOLUTION.

The Columbus Times says: We
knew that the Hon. Marion Butler
would distinguish himself as Presi-
dent of the North Carolina Farmers
Alliance, a ad therefore we were not
surprised to see him taking such an
active part in the National Conse.,-
tion a short time ago. The cotton
resolution introduced by him at this
convention fail to interest every
reader who has a desire to see the
price Of cotton raised, and of coarse
that includes them all.

THE REFORM PRESS ON
THAT ADDRESS.

Well, we have read that long
looked-for Democrats address
Ii neither condemns an Alliance
man, converts Democrat, nor
f-ightens ResubIican. Every man
of whatever political faith, can CON-
sistently say amen to it without the
fear of being called hereto. For
if it does not exactly coincide with
his views, it certainly does not
antag0nize them.
Editors are disagreed concerning
it. One complains that it is another
victory for the Alliance; while an
other, Of the same faith and order,
rejoiees that il is Democratic
triumph. One argue that it means.
nothing, and will accomplish moth
ing, while another concludes that
il means everything, and settles the
policy to be pursued by the Demo-
cratic 9rrty, State and National, in
the campaign of 1892.
COnserva.i ism is a good thing; but
even that can be carried too far.
That is W hat is the matter now; the
people have been I conservative
in their politics. This led them TO
compromise; and from compromise,
to complete loss, a loss of property,
Of Iiberty and of freedom. If the
Democratic party be right and the
only means by which the country
can be saved and the rights OF the
people can be restored and preser.
we'd, the day is past when it can lon
ger be conservative; when it cai
surrender to any person. place ol
thing. 1t should rise in its purity
and power, and do something. The
condition of the country needs
prompt, strong and determined
action.

Negroes Changing.

The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some Of the birthmarks
REGULAR to the African race. The new
generation is showing the effects of a
higher culture. Especially is this
noticeable in the towns where contact
with the whites shows its effect The
fat-uosed, kinky-headed negro is pass
ing away and becoming an unknown
race. All the colored children, no mat
ter how dusky in hJie, show the echange.
Among the females long hair of that
peculiar woolly appearance hangs in
long braids or curls down their backs.
Aquiline noses and smaller mouths
with thinner lips are the rule. For
years, and in fact ever since their free
dom, the negresses have endeavorcd to
do away with the short and kinky hair
bestowed upon them by their ancestors.
Much Of their spare change is invested
in various hair tonics and invigorators,
and the long attention and care be-
slowed upon it is shown in their de-
scendants. The South Georgia negro
is an evidence of evolution; the survival
of the fittest.-AIa1lta CONSTITUTIONS
