Deafness Car-ot be 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 constItu
tional remedies. Deafness is eau: e!
bv an iufamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inaamed yoa
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
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrb, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition CT

WHY NOT?

A circular has been issued from
the press of the Dispatch Job Office
by the Hon. C NJ Efrd, for The pur
pose of ascertaining the views OF
prominent citizens from the various
sections of the county as to the prob
ability of the people consenting to
the erection and maintenance Of two
free ferries on Saluda river for the
convenience of the people Ct the
Fork in particular and the travelling
public in general.
At the conclusion Of his circular,
Mr.. Eird makes strong appeal fer
the establ sament of these ferries,
and as strong as it is, he puts it none
too strong.
We have time and again urged the
necessity of the establishment OF
these ferries and We are glad to know
that the movement has assumed diff
mite shape and form and trust that
it will be pushed to successful COM
pletion.
Aside from The consideration of
convenience to a large number of
people, the establishment OF these
ferries would in time be money savers
to the tax payers. By an Act OF the
Legislature the county is required to
pay, in addition to mileage and per
diem, the ferriage, both ways, of all
Jurors and State witnesses, which, IN
the course of few years, will
amount to sum sufficient to pay for
the building and the maintenance
of these ferries, so, in the long run,
they will be DO additional burden to
the taxpayers. The county MAINTAINS
free bridges in otLer sections of the
county for the convenience of the
people, and the tax payers of the
Fork pay their proportionate share to
build and keep in repair these
bridges and from which they derive
no benefit. As matter of simple
justice the county should build and
operate free ferries. Other counties
have established free ferries for the
accommodation and convenience of
their people, why should Lexington
not do SO?

ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION.

We are by taste and inclination an
ardent and uncompromising Probi
bitionist. In this respect if were we
clothed with the power of Omnipo-
tepce we would destroy every drop
of the accursed stuff which has done
much to turn this, the footstool OF
God, into the abiding place Of the
devil and his minions, and the beauty
of this life would neyernore be
marred, nor its peace invaded By the
baneful presence of this giant mon
ster whose breath withers the good,
the pure and the noble in this life,
and whose sting is moral, physical
and spiritual death. But not having
that power and realizing that we are
but an atom in the great system of
human families We are unable TO have
our wishes gratifed and our desires
fulfilled, we must, therefore, faith.
fully and conscientiously use all the
weapons at our command to arrest
the progress and uucroWn and slay
this mighty king whose rule is ruin
and whose sway is death.
In the first place we want absolute
prohibition. Prohibition that will
prohibit the traffic in intoxication
liquors, first, last and all the time,
II whisky is an evil, then its very
presence in a community is danger
Gus, and as lorg as it is permitted 10
remain in that community, no matter
under what pretext, it is an acute
temptation to those who have &C
auired or ipherits taste for it.
as well as those whose taste has
not been vitiated by the fumes Of it.
We want no compromise, no half way
measure, whereby its sale will be
lawfully permitted in every he'll hole
and low dive in the State under
the fimsy excuse Of being sold for
medicinal, or scientific, or mechanical
purposes. Having chosen the ban
ner of prohibition as our standard
under whose spotless fold we will
wage the warfare, let US rally to its
support and stand manfully to our col
ors until the last vistage of the enemy
of our God, our country, our homes
and fresides, cur children and our
selves shall have been wiped from
the face of the earth. Success
may not crown our efolts today, nor
tomorrow, nor in a year, nor yet IN a

President Mckinley has demon

is TIE man of the hour; that a great
emergency faced him and he met it
in a calm and digni6ed manner and
overcame it as becomes statesman
and patriot with honor and glory
to the great country Of which he is
the head. His message to Congress
last Monday was clear and positive.
He has decided that tue War in
Cuba must stop even if there has to
be an armed Intervention on the part
of the United States. He is also
positive that the recognition OF the
independence of Cuba is ineSpedient
and inopportune. When the court
of inquiry, appointed by the United
States, and in the Investigations Of
which the Spanish government was
positively denied the right to parti-
cipate, failed to fix the responsibility
for the destruction of the Maine
upon Spain, the only just cause for
declaring war against that country
was removed and left tie President
in a predicamert never occupied by
any other President, to our recollec-
ton. He had to get out Of il with
honor to his country, OF make it a by
word and a reproach among all civi-
1ized nations. How grandIy he has
brought cur country through the great
