Coinage Advocates.


BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 5.-The silver ques-
ton has not been the issue in the Ala

tion for governor. and had the party
pledged to the free coinage of silver.
The Populist convention nominated
Goodwin for governor on n platform de-
ciaring for honest elections, free silver
and tariff on a revenue basis. The main

supported the Populist ticket. The Dem.
ocrats have carried the state by probably
10000 majority. The general vote was

they have not set to you. They have
said that they represent the respectable

every citizen is sovereign-(ap-

it to themselves. to their country and

CORBIN.

Messrs. Editors Our little village
of Corbin was the scene of unusual
activity last Friday afternoon when a
large crowd OF citizens from the neigh.
borhood assembled in Corbin's grove
to hear Mr.. Charles S. Richardson, of
Snow Till, discuss the silver question.
Mr.. Richardson spoke for an hour or
more, while his audience gave HIM
their undivided attention. HIS argu-
ments were conclusive and unanswer-
able, and at the end of his address not
a gold man could be found. The
speaker did not mention politics, but
confined himself to the silver question
in the abstract, and showed how the
prices of all farm products depend
upon the value OF silver relative to
gold. Colbourn's district will give
an almost undivided vote for Bryan
and Sewall and silver.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is

When this tube is innamed you have a
rumbling 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 nor.

Struck by Lightning.
A Severe Storm Does Damage i'm
Snow Hill.

SHOW HILL
Snow Hill was visited By severe
electrical storm on Wednesday and this
was accompanied by wind, rain and
hail. At noon the clouds began to
gather over us and it was about 2
o'clock when heavy peal of thunder
followed quickly by successive binding
flashes of lightning made the people
of Snow Hill aware that storm of 10
usual magnitude was upon them.
While the lightning sputtered, snapped
and cracked like the report of musketry
the wind blew hurricane and rain
came down in torrents. In twenty
minutes it turned TO hail, and stones
the size of marbles fell against the
window panes with such force as to al
most break them in After the storm
had subsidized the community turned
out to ascertain if the lightning had
done any damage. The residence of
Mr.. Lawrence Hastings was struck and
his little SON Walter had a narrow
escape. The little fellow was in the
the hall with his mother when blind
ing flash dazed her for an instant and
the sharp report which followed an
nounced that something had been dam
aged. 1t was their house. The bay
window was splintered, window mould
ings knocked off. picture in the par
lor torn down and other damage done
to the house and furniture, amounting
to about fifty dollars. Mrs. Hastings
says she and Walter both saw ball OF
fire in the hall, and the house smelled
strongly of sulphur half hour after
the storm had passed over.
The roof of the electric light station
was torn off by the wind. and the big
willow in front of the blacksmith shop
nearby was blown down.
The telegraph instrument at the
Railroad station was torn out by the
lightning and telegraph pole at
Irwins factory was struck. Lightning
also struck tree near Mr.. Burroughs
and it burned in two the electric light
wire leading from the Court House to
the Jail and Martha Dennis, colored
prisoner, complained that she had re-
ceived a severe shock.
A COW belonging to Mr.. George J.
Dryden near town was killed.
Lighting entered the residence of
w. ID. Corddry, Jr. but did no damage.
1t also struck tree in Mr.. Good
mans yard and an electric light pole
near Cal Lewis's.
Trees and limbs of trees were scat
tered all over town. and it is generally
conceded to have been the worst storm
for number of years
