Deafness Cannot ie CarAa


by local applications, as, they cannot reach
thediseased portion Of tfleeaf, There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that Is By c0n-
stitutional remedies. Deafness iscatired BY
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inf1amed you have arumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed 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 ter
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing bit
an inflame1 condition of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that

A RAILWAY Mans views
Samuel Spencer, president OF the
Southern Railway Co.. who recently
made a trip through the south. said IN
an interview on returning to New
York.
~Conditions are improving in the
south, although the earnings Of the
Southern railway are a little less this
spring than last. This decrease in
earnings may be attributed largely, II
not entirely, TO the fact that the spring
business is dependent on the circula-
ton of money which comes from the
crops, and the low price of cotton and
the destruction of fruit and vegetable
crops by cold have diminished the
relative amount of this money. The
fertilizing business is also much smaller
more than 60 to 65 per cent of a
normal year.
THE south is turning its attentio n
more and more to manufacturing and
to agricultural products other than
cotton. The. result is more indie
pendence and less debt for the SOUTH
ern farmer, and larger investment OF
capital at home, as well as a greater
influx of foreign capital. The great
drawback to the southern farmer here
tofore has been the almost universal
pledging of his cotton crop before the
seeds were fairly sprouted. He is less in
debt than in former years, and, there
fore, in better shape to carry on opera
tions- The south ought to be and, l
think, will be the first section of the
country to recover from the long de-
preston. The fact that the southern
farmer raised more corn, bacon and
provisions last year than ever before,
has placed him this season, notwith-
standing the price of cotton, in bet
ter position, financially, than the
farmer of any other section OF the
country. Not only does he owe less
money now than heretofore, but he
will owe less and less each year under
this new policy.

MIfe-Murder and Suicide.

At Vicksburg, Miss, Thomas O'Kel-
ley, aged over 90, became suddenly de-
ranged and attacked his wife and
daughter with Ratchet. The young
lady ran to neighbours and gave the
alarm, her screams and those of her
mother having failed to summon aid.
Before help could arrive, however,
all was over, and the dead body of
the wife and mother was found in
the hallway, the skull crushed and
with twenty wounds. any one of which
would have been fatal. The murderer
was arrested and taken to Jail. A few
hours later he was found dead in his
cell from the effects of morphine,
which he had taken before his arrest.

Georgia Inn porting Japanese Rice.

Heavy importations of rice through
the port of Savannah, Ga, from Japan
are causing a sensation and feeling of
uneasiness among the rice planters of
that section. In the last two months
nearly 100000 pounds of rice raised at
Bassoin, Japan, have been brought in
through Savannah customhouse, and
sold at a price, exclusive of duty, of
about two cents per pound. The rice
was first sent to Germany to be milled,
and was then sent to this country.
