Deafness Cannot G Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by con-
st%itutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
Ian Tube When this tube 1. in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when IL
is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

The County Campaign Meeting for
this Township held In the Court House
on yesterday was not largely attended,
two hundred and fifty. The city PEG.
pie ignored 1t very largely, most of
the crowd being from round about and
over the county. There was some lit
tie sparring, but pleasantly, over the
question of voting upon former fac
tiOnal associations, However, the
voice of the crowd seemed to be
against it-for harmony and unity and
ignoring past, dead and useless Issues.
We trust that this spirit will still be
maintained and that candidates for the
suffrages OF patriotic Laurens Demo-
Gratis will be measured by the standard
OF sound Democracy ability and char
actor.

To The Physicians Of Laurens County.

The present age is one in which
medical science is making greater pro-
gress than ever before-new ideas,
new theories, new discoveries all prove
this in better results. as shown in the
lower per cent. of mortality in a given
number Of cases of any disease. II this
be so and of its truth there can be no
question how important the Physi-
clans, the guardians of the health and
lives of the public, should keep abreast
OF the advances continuously being
made. But, we the Physicians of Lau.
rens county as all can testify do not re-
ceive from our professional labors re-
enumeration sufficient to justify us in
leaving our families, losing the time
and bearing the expenses Of again at
tending Medical Schools and Hospitals,
no matter how much we may so desire
to do. We therefore would suggest
as the next best thing for both our
selves and u patients that we take
good live progressive Medical Journals,
read and study them, apply new ideas,
when practical and then join the county
Medical Society whose object is for
mutual good and where an exchange
Of experience is freely given. This
would result we believe in large meas
ure in the benefits derived from O Post
Graduate course.

Newberry in lawyers, or in any

Is all right in this particular, but
when it comes to ministers, doc,

In the State. Our preachers are

COTTON MILLS.
Laurens could take the lead in
cotton mills, for she has magnif1-
cent water power in the EnOree
River. The Enoree Mill shows
what a be done in this direction.
But there are not enough mills
there. That great section should

prises. If a party of Northern
capitalists were to happen upon
Byrd's Mill and view the wide
flow and fall of water and see for
themselves the splendid sites, cot
ton mills would be built and put in
operation in that land as fast as
money could accomplish the pur-
pose,
Laurens is noted far and wide
for her Observation-Disclosures is
nSSexception to the universal rule.
erybody wants you to "come to
dinner," "stay all night" "spend a
few days"
THERE is THIS DIFFERENCE
between a countryman and a town
man--on an average. The G. M.
wants the t. m. to go home with
him when in his community, but
the t. m. will let the G., N. hustle for
himself when at the court house
with a few notable exceptions.
Another ENTHUSIASTICALLY a
we'll dressed man sees a shabby
countryman whom he takes to be
ignorant. Sometimes the observed Is
somewhat ignorant and sometimes
the observer is very brilliant. But
once in a while the we'll dressed
fellow has more cuff buttons than
brains and the shabby gentleman
Is a scholar. Don't Judge by ap-
pearance or you might misjudge to
your discontinue. Wait until you
look the man in the eye and hear
him talk; too many people have
been already. The countryman is in
dependent and free--.that's what's
the matter with him---.and here in
Newberry he has sense enough to
know that God made the country
and Burr Rains the clothes.
