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 infiamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re
suit, 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 inf1amed 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

Again the press is teaming with ac-
counts of the barbarous prosecutions
to which the Seventh Day Adventists
are subjected in Kentucky and Tennes-
see. The result of the attempt of the
American Protective Association to po-
litically prescribe Catholic and foreign
born citizens of Bridgeport has been a
bitter conflict between them and the
Protestant, native born population.
No principle of our government is more
important to liberty than freedom of
religion; no right is dearer to the hearts
of all men. Is this right, guaranteed
in our constitution, to be violated with
impunity? Then, indeed, had we bet

our fathers. and remodel this govern
ment on plan better suited to modern

The School Book Question.

Keep on throwing mud and some OF
it will stick is evidently the maxim OF
one or two newspapers in this State,
which are incessant in their denuncia-
ton of 1.-THE book trust" and clamorous
for the Governor to "cancel the con-
tract"
How in the world can the Governor
(who is but one of three members of the
State Board of Education) cancel a
contract which has been faithfully car
ried out by every one of the book-pub-
fishing companies with which Virginia
is dealing?
Many charges of unfair dealing with
and discrimination against Virginia
have been made against the book COM
panies, but not one of them has been
sustained by proof. Ali have been
brushed away on investigation. We
get the books that we want, at the
prices we agreed to pay, and no other
buyers such as we are get the same
books lower than we do.
This is a perfectly incOntrOvertible
fact. But if the State or any county or
city OF the State will give any book ex-
elusive adoption or will buy it by the
wholesale, that book may be had for
less than 1T is now sold to us; but no
people having the same buying system
that we have get or can get lower rates
than we do. The charges are to the
contrary, but the facts are as we state
them. There are many different con-
tracts between the several States and
book companies. Ours seems to suit
our needs. But whenever we wish to
make a change we are at liberty to do
so, and are guaranteed terms as low as
those given any other people.
The clamor now heard in Virginia
had its beginning with book companies
which failed in getting theil publica-
lions put upon the Virginia list. 1t is
monopoly against monopoly.
Quite possibly in some instances Vir-
GINA could get better and cheaper
books than she is now getting if the
present list were annihilated and new
one framed, but, heaven! what howl
would go up from those publie-school
patrons who would have to throw away
old grammars, biographies, sc, and
buy new ones
The mud throwing against our State
Board of Education has been going on
mercilessly for months and months.
The inspiration of it all is apparent
enough. But there is a particular and
pecu liar malice in the parrot like de.
mand upon the Governor to 'cancel
the contract" How can he cancel it e?
Why should he cancel it? 1t is good
contract; it has never been violated;
Virginia has got her dues under it; no
State operating under laws such as ours
has gotten better terms than we have
and the contract ought to be, and we
are sure will be, lived up to by Virgin
ia.
There is no ground for the charge
that Virginia has been Disseminated
against, and those who are raising this
question rely more upon the popular
objection to TRUSTS and 'monopolies"
than upon any evidence they can pro-
duce. The whole thing smacks of a
flake" worked up to afford temporary
sensation without any regard for the
real interests of the State or the cruel
injustice that is being done the mem
bers of our State Board of Education.
1t is this fake" not the contract, that
ought to be cancelled. Richmond

entrance Of the Christian Church at
noon yesterday and then placed the
pistol in his mouth and fired bullet
into his brain. Both died instantly.
Scott was 81 years old and his wife 10.
Scott and his wife were married two
years ago, but the young mans dissi-
pated habits caused his wife to leave
him. Recently Scott decided to reform,
and yesterday attended the religious
service.
After the congregation was dismiss

edifice he met his wife, who was accom-
panied by her father. He pleaded with
her to return to him, but Mrs. Scott de-
clined to aeeede to his wishes. Imme-
diately following this declaration Scott
drew his revolver and fired.

Opposed to National Park at Appomat

From a communication to the Farm

the proposition to convert into a ma

"Parks and other monuments on
other battle fields we can endure, not
only because we must, but because we
are capable of cOnceding the legitimate
exultation of the winning side. But
the significance of Appomattox is not
the significance of another battlefield,

can control. Warned by such pro

serving it's integrity forever.
"Should any monument ever be
placed there it should be without a
trace of ornament, and without a word
inscribed which should try to speak
the sentiments and recollection which
belong to the spot. But above all,
whatever is done there should be done
by Southern men for Southern men,
For the South to invite the co opera
ton of the North in such a matter
would be not only in inconceivably
bad taste, but would be essentially
absurd. Let those who can recall the
scenes'of the 9th of April, let those
who know them only by tradition call

sympathy, boundless admiration and
love for him filled their brave hearts.
