Bad Condition at Guines.

dispatch from Havana says: Reports
from Guines, this province, say that
no farmer or land holder or tenant has
turned his hand to the sowing of crops in
that vicinity, and the district, therefore,
will have no potatoes tobacco, cane, sab
bage or other vegetables this year. This
Will further impoverish the district and add
to the distress. From now until February
it will be impossible for farmers to SOW
crops, and in February the ground will be
prepared for the spring harvest. There
fore the next six months will a great
deal of want and misfortune in that vi
cinity.
This state of affairs is directly due to the
unsettled condition of the country and the
attitude of certain portion of the Cubans
who openly threaten hostility to the United
States, and are preparing to take the field
and wage guerrilla warfare against the
Americans if any form of government short
of absolute independence for the Cubans is
established in the island. This matter is
openly discussed in the public meeting
places of the Cubans here the plan finding
many advocates among certain classes of
the people.
The latest estimate places the native pop
ulation of the island at 7450O0, of which
only 100000 are whites. Considering the
area of the island immigration, therefore
will be the principal feature of the new or
der Of development in the country.

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 condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed 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 normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed 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

- The war department has issued
orders assigning Major General Lawton
to service in the Philippines. The as
signment is considered one of excep-
tional Importance, as General Lawton,
who was one of the most conspicuous
officers in the campaign about San
tiago, will be second in command to
General Otis, and, in the event of
General Otis appointment as governor
general of the Philippines, will assume
military command of the forces in the
Philippines. His new duties will re-
auire a combination of nerve and tact.
General Lawton has recently been in
command of the camp at Huntsville.
General Frank, as ranking officer, will
assume command on the departure of
General Lawton. The latter's selec-
ton for duty in the Philippines was
owing largely to the character of his
service during the war and later at
Havana.

An Importaut Decision.

In Charleston, last Wednesday,
Judge Benet announced his decision
on the motions for new trial based Oh
the claim that one or more jurors were
not "qualified electors" in the intent
and meaning of the constitution. On
the constitutional question his honor
decided that "qualified elector," and
a qualified juror, must be registered
voter. This was favorable 10 the
movers. But his honor decided, sec
ondly, that all parties had due notice,
and with proper diligence could have
ascertained before trial whether jurors
were qualified. The objection should
have been raised before trial. And,
thirdly, his honor decided that there
was not a sufficiency of evidence in
the certificate of the clerk of the court
that the jurors name did not appear
on the registration rolls filed with him
to prove that the juror was not reg
istered voter. The motion for new
trial was refused.

Testing Their Neighbors.

Testing Their Neighbors.
Three charming and blushing and
handsome young maidens of Newberry,
in company with staid old married
man, a member of the family, decided
to have little fun one night last
week, and at the same time test the
charity Of residents on Calhoun street.
They blacked their faces and started
out begging for pennies and bread.
They went to several homes with their
pitiful pleas for help and were soon
loaded with hard biscuits and few
pennies and dimes. The sympathies
of some of the residents were so
aroused that in addition to responding
to the appeal for aid they and the
beggars wept together. AT one place
they were recognized and were invited
in to chocolate and cake. They had
lots of fun and found all the residents
charitably disposed.

NEW CHAIRS.

The Presbyterian Sunday School
il arranging to furnish the lower
room of the church with chairs.
This will be a great improvement
over the present pews, in the way
of convenience in arranging classes.
The old pews have been a familiar
land mark and were the furniture
of the old church which was erected
in 1926 Generations now passed
away have sat in them while listen
ing to the words of instruction which
fell from lips long ago sealed in
death, and many old and revered
associations attach to them in the
minds or those who with their
parents, now gone occupied them in
childhoods sunny days. 1t is an
inexorable law however that the old
surroundings must give way to the
advanced idea, and soon those
who held in veneration the old pews
because of former associations, will
have themselves passed away and lik
the pews be forgotten except as a
fading tradition.
