Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot reach he
disease portion of the ear. There is only Que
way to cure d. afness, AMI that is by constitu-
ii nal remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf 4med condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tub.. When tn S tube gets infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and istube restored to its normal
condition, hearing it will be destroyed forever
nine case out of ten are caused by cataarh
which is nothing but an infamed condition o.

MANA, Yadkin county, Nov. 81
The meeting here, conducted by Rev.
G. G. Haymore, OF Mt. Airy, aided by
Rev. @. G. Myers, was closed Thurs
day night, owing to the serious illness
of Mrs. r. r. Galloway, of Mt. Airy,
he being called home. Mrs. 2. s.
Early, Mis-. GallOway's sister, went up
with him. The meeting was one OF
the most spiritual ever held here.
The church was profoundly revived,
to the church with ten baptized
Thursday evening at Glenn's Ferry.
Rev. Mr.. Haymore tells THE SENTI-
MEL correspondent of singular
dream he always has before going to
hold a pretracted meeting. He says
that he dreams he goes on a fishing
excursion and if he has good luck fish,
ing he always has good meeting. 1t
has come to him for the past fifteen
years. Before coming here he said he
had the same dream and that he
caught long string of fish. Singular
as it may seem his opening sermon
was blessed with some forty persons
coming forward as penitentS, and his
meeting increased in interest each
day. He never fails to have the
dream and as his luck is in the dream,
so the meeting goes.
The young people here are getting
up very unique entertainment for

SUING FOR $4,000.
Prof. TilIett Enters Suit Against the
Norfolk & Western,

fFOI Illicit FnCeFS Su1C Against the
Norfolk & Western,
The Superior Court of Person coun-
ty was in session last week at Rox-
boro, but it only lasted one day as
Judge Brown was called to Baltimore
on account of the serious illness of his
wife. A very interesting and import
ant suit was brought to this term of
the court by Prof. James w. Tillett
against the Norfolk& Western Rail-
road Company. Prof. Tillett alleges
that on the first of April last, while
he was on the train at Roxboro, the
car in which he was standing was
struck by another car with such VIC
lence that his head was dashed against
the car and he was knocked insensi-
BILE; that he suffered violent pain in
his head for few days and then his
eyesight began to fail and continued
to fail until he has become totally
blind. He has been advised that the
blow on his head caused his blindness
and that his blindness is incurable
and he sues for $4,000 damages. He
was a teacher by profession and was
superintendent of public instruction
for Person county.

Be a Democrat aud Let Politics Alone.

Here is a good jo Ike on Methodist
preacher in Marion county. He has
been endeavoring to to get up a revi-
val of religion at his church, but the
country was in such political state
of excitement that he could do moth
ing, and few Sundays ago he lee
tured them on the subject. "You
come to church, said the good man,
with your minds filed with politics.
You sit about the churchyard before
services and discuss politics, and not
religious idea enters yeur heads, but
your attendance upon divine worship
is mere mechanical operation" The
good man went on in his strain lect-
uring his congregation and, finally,
he3raised his voice TO high pitch and
ticket and let politics alone ~

wINSTON-SALEM'S OPPORTUNITY
TO ADVERTISE HERSELF
board Air Line ?-Surveyed Between
Winston-SaIem and Wadesboro

why Not Make Pull for the Sea-
board Air Line ?-Surseyed Between
Winston-Salem and wadesboro
Editor Hartman, in the last issue of
his paper, has this to say in his edi-
torial columns:
''In last weeks Southern Tobacco
Journal we gave a hasty review of the
new buildings erected in this city
during the year now closing. THE
DAILY SENTINEL took up the subject
and gave Il still more extended list
which makes Il remarkable showing
for the paHiciy year of 1893.
THE statistics thus presented show
that the city of Winston is going for
ward. There i nD slow up in her
progress We nave here THE place
State and are forging ahead. All
that our people need just now is to be
aroused from the depression which a
year of panic in business has left upon
them We need the spirit of 1890
that good year tIcu our people pulled
t0"ct her as one III III and made this
towE jump frOr" Il village to what 1T
is today. And We believe that spirit
is about to take hold of the people
greater accomplishments
''Our Chamber of Commerce is at
active work. 1t has held some impOr-
tant meetings of late. A committee
of statistics will look after advertiS-
ing the city and we trust the work
will be well done and thoroughly done
il the best manner. At recent
meeting Mr.. e. J. Reynolds stated
that one thousand dollars spent in adj
hn al
good than many thousands later on.
This is eminently true. Other towns
are resting quietly and now is the
time for US to work. The depression
in business has made many business
man dispIeased with his present loca-
tion and little inducement would
cause him to move. Factories can
before and our Chamber of Commerce
will do well to push the matter now
to strike when the iron is hot.
1.-The Southern Tobacco Journal
has no idle money to spare but would
like to be one of one hundred to give
S25 each, with which to advertise
Winston during the next three
months. The $500 thus expended
would be worth many thousand dol
lars to the city the coming year.
''While on this subject we would
like to impress on the Chamber of
Commerce the importance of getting
the Seaboard Air Line road to
build its proposed line to Winston.
This line has been surveyed from here
to Wadesboro and we believe the road
will be built if Winston will give the
proper encouragement. 1t is only a
short cut and will go through a sec
tion of country which will give liberal
subscriptions towards the building.
The building of this line will place
Winston at the terminus of three of
the greatest railroad systems of the
r & D, the n s. W and
the S A L. Let the matter be taken
up at an early meeting"

Talk In Surry.
Correspondence of the Sentinel
ROCKFORD, Nov 2S-Your cores.
pondent attended the joint debate
/ at Pinnacle. 1t was a discussion to
be remembered. A number of us left
Sloan early Saturday morning,
reaching Pinnacle about 1890 The
debate was held in the chapel. Mr..
J. I. Burrus, of Sloan, was elected
President, Mr.. D. A. White or Pin
nacle, Secretary. Mr.. s. F. Boyles
of Pilot Mountain, Prof. James
Thomson of Low Gap and Prof.
Browning of East Bend, were chosen
judges.
Messrs. s. E. Hall, T. %. Watson,
r. >. Mclaughlin and j. A. Giles
spoke for Pinnacle; Messrs. M. l..
Mathews, E. G. Key, G. l.. Park and
o. E. Snow tor Sloan. One of the
judges favored Pinnacle, one Sloan
and one was at first doubtful, but
he finally bowed his head and fell
over on the affirmative side.
We thought the discussion Unfair
The question was not discussed as
the Sloan boys had accepted the
challenge, but after some contention,
the Sloan speakers submitted, and
discussed the question as prepared
by the Pinnacle speakers. Sloan
commended that the question had been
changed since they had accepted the
challenge and asked Pinnacle to pro-
duce the letter in answer to the chal-
lenge, and they could not. But the
Sloan boys submitted to the CUES
ton as stated by Pinnacle, without
any preparation whatever.
1t is public opinion that the Sloan
boys carried off the laurels. The
cheers and applause were for Sloan,
and the last speaker for Pinnacle
was SO hacked that he said: "Ive
got nobody hired to cheer or applaud
me-" implying that the Sloan
speakers had people hired to cheer
them. Now, Mr.. Giles, we were
neither asked, persuaded nor hired
to cheer any body. On the contrary,
several of our people cheered your
speakers frequently ard more espe-
cially you, for you needed something
to cheer you.
Prof. Browning, in rendering the
decision, said, in substance that it
was hard one to make; it was not
unanimous, and Sloan had submit
ted to Pinnacle and discussed the
question as stated by Pinnacle
Under the circumstances, if the
debaters were equal in appearance,
impression, oratory, etc., should not
the decision, in the eyes of justice, be
in favor of Sloan?
A reception was given that night
in honor OF Sloan which we enjoyed
very much. Now the Sloan boys
have sent a challenge to Pinnacle to
discuss this question: Resolved,
That the Signs of the Times Indicate
Long Life for our Republic" IF
this is not accepted Pinnacle will
have to acknowledge defeat. Ii
accepted, the discussion will be at
Sloan, Dec. 30th. SPECTATOR.
