Deafness Cannot 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 con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Atlanta. Ca, Nov. "a. 49, Policeman
Powell, of the city police department,
left here to-day at noon for New York, to
take possession of Benjamin CASTOR, the
negro preacher, who was arrested in that
city yesterday on dispatch from Chief
Connolly charging him with cheating and
swindling. 1t is understood that CASTOR
will make an effort to get released
on a writ of habeas corpus. Gas
ton claims that he is innocent of
any fraud in his operations to colonize the
Georgia colored brother in Africa.
His prosecutors claim he made
Misrepresentation to them con
corning his agency for a Libe-
rian emigration company, and that funds
placed in the hands Of the Rev. CASTOR
were misapproprilted, and that no re
turns from this money were ever re-
ceived from the outlay.
Castor got up considerable excitement
in this city some time ago by his efforts
to get number of negro families to en-
bark with him to Liberia, which he held
up as the modern Canaan for the colored
race. 1t is said that he obtained large
sums of money by this means.

the arrival of ex-senator Wade Hampton

Cannon doomed in honor of the hero

with emotion when Gen. Hampton and
Gen. Evans marched side by side up to
the stage in Music hall. They were
greeted by prolonged shouts that were as
lasting as they were vehement. Gen.
Hampton was introduced by Gen. Evans.
He spoke briefly, but most feelingly. He
paid lofty tribute to the heroes of GeOr-
gia, but took occasion to refer to his retire
ment from the Senate by the legislature
OF South Carolina. To-day's Exercises
close one of the grandest and most en-
thusiastic reunions ever held by copfed-
crate veterans.
Friday, Dec. l, is Temperance day at
the exposition. Such speakers as Walter
B. Hill, Rev. NJ. A Matthews, S. =.
Jones and Frank J. Sibley have been

colored, paid the penalty upon the gal
lows to-day at Zebulon, a town situated
eight miles from this place, for the muir
der of Martin Thomas, also colored, last
November. A difference arose between
the two men at a negro social gathering
Stanley pointed his pistol in Thomas
face, and ordered him to get down on his
knees. When Thomas was down pity
fully begging for his life, Stanley fired
several shots, killing him instantly. The
murder was a brutal affair, and both
white and colored in that vicinity became
highly indignant The hanging was pri-
vate, but a large crowd had gathered TO
witness it.
AT clock Stanley was led to the scat

and seemed quite indifferent to the sur

would soon be hurled into eternity.
The drop fell at 1910, and Stanley was
pronounced dead in nineteen minutes.

affair will remain a sealed book
Hill went direct to the depot from the

his destination secret, if possible. To
night the Empire State Bank, which had
arranged to take Hills testimony at the
Jail in support of their claim against Mrs.
Porter, has been teIegraphing to locate
Hill. The banks attorneys either want

has been shipped off for good, or some
