DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local application, rs 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 infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the EuS-
tachian Tube. When this tube Is In
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when Il Is en-
tlrely closed, deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO It's nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh. which Is nothing
but an inhamed coalition OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

AROUT THE ARMY WORM.

Captain A. B. Mulligan, of Spartan
burg, sent specimens of the suspected
army worm to the agricultural depart
ment, and was informed that it was
the genuine article Qeucania unipucta)
He also received a circular descriptive
of the life and habits Of the insect to.
gether with remedies and preventative
measures. The circular is herewith
reproduced from the spartanbure
Herald of last Sunday:
"There is never any demand upon
this office for remedies for the army
worm until it is almost too late to DO
any good. There are certain old-tlme
measures which may be adopted to
protect certain fields from advancing
armies, like the plowing of a furrow
with its perpendicular side towards
the field to be protected and the sub
sequent dragging of log through the
furrow to keep the earth friable and
kill the worms which have accumu-
lated in the ditch and another is the

- The dispute between Great Britain
and the Transvaal has about reached
the business point. Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the colo
MES, made a speech at Birmingham
last Saturday, in which he explained
that President Kruger was trifing with
the issues to such an extent that the
government was convinced that it
could not tolerate his policy any longer.
Unless Kruger comes to something
definite the British government GER
tainly will. 1t is not thought very
likely that Kruger will yield to any OF
the British demands, and there seems
to be a very general belief now that
the Britishers will have to shoot, in
which event, of course, the Beers will
try to give them the best they have in
their shop.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Mayor John J. Waters, of Rock
Hill, writes the governor as follows
with reference to his recent circular ot
inquiry about the enforcement of the
dispensary law:
DEAR SIR: Would have written
you earlier but was under the impress
sion that circular letters were to be
sent to mayors and intendants, etc. II
80, have never received letter of this
kind from you, and may be laboring
under wrong impression. Have seen
your circular letter published in the
Columbia State. Hence, am aware oi
its contents and will write you with.
out further delay.
Rock Hill is one of the border cities
in our state, with daily railroad con-
nections with Charlotte, N. g., and
while we have no dispensary here, it
is quite easy to get liquor from Char,
lotte and other places. We have, as
all cities similarly situated, to contend
more or less with "blind tigers" l
have, ever since my induction into Of
fee here last January, sought to have
the dispensary law enforced by our po-
lice within our city, and have been en-
abled by their assistance to convict
and sentence to the county chaingang
several parties for violating this law.
T shall continue to do my best to have
this law enforced, as / regard it as the
best solution of the liquor problem.
Yet 1 feel sure, in order to have 1t
properly enforced and made to give
satisfactory results, that the employ
ment of good men as constables Will
be necessary, to greater or less ex-
tent more especially to render assist
ance in enforcing the law in the cities,
towns and country in the border coun-
ties. Then again it is very apparent
that the most satisfactory results are
always obtained when persons are
employed to specially look after viola
tors of the law than when left entirely
for its enforcement to persons and ofi-
GERS who have a multitude of other
duties to perform along with this re-
sponsibility.
We have a city ordinance known as
"The Dispensary Ordinance" and l
will, assure you, do my best to haye
it enforced.

CLOVER MILL DIVIDEND.

The News and Courier of last Satur-
day INDUCES in the following bit OF
pleasantly that will prove more or less
gratifying to readers in this part of the
country:
Having fallen into an error of state,
ment, our careful Yorkville correspon-
dent very frankly corrects in his letter
yesterday, as follows:
SIN this correspondence last week the
statement was made that the Clover Cot
ton mill had earned and declared a dlvl'
dend of Al per cent. for the year ending
June 80, 1899. This is mistake. Thls
dividend was only 81 per cent. Your cor
respondent did not get his information
from an official of the company; but from
a gentleman largely interested IN the
manufacture Of cotton, whom he mad
every reason to believe considered the
statement absolutely correct. All the
other statements as to the past record OF
the mill have been verified and are en-
tirely correct"
Of course if the little South Carolina
mill made a profit of "only 81" per
cent. on its capital, as the result OF
one years work, it is proper to say So
When cotton mill in new field is
making money at rate to pay for it.
self in about three years, it should not
be credited with making it at rate to
pay for itself in two years and half
1t is we'll to be particular about such
matters, and our correspondent did
right, therefore, in reducing his figures
from Al per cent. to "only 81 per cent"
Only 81 per cent. was very fair for
the famous little mill, however. There
are mills in the United States that
could hide it in one of their picker
rooms, with space to spare, which have
not made as much money this year, or
in half a dozen years.
Altogether the stockholders in the
Clover Cotton mill may well congratu'
late themselves, in face of their sore
disappointment, that matters are no
worse than they are, and try to be as
cheerful as they can. Perhaps things
will be better next year, and with
rigid economy and continued good
management they will be able to make
both ends meet-and lap half way
round-once more.

adoption of a receipt has not hitherto
been practicable. 1t will tend to pop
ularize the postal money order, sup

of the public, a perfectly satisfactory
vehicle for the transmission of small
sums.

Government dispatches of last SUI

day report another West India hurri.
cane gathering down south of Mar
Unique. 1t had done no damage up to
that time; but was being watched
very closely. The conditions were
such as frequently develop into a dis
astrous storm; but which sometimes
pass away without doing damage
The weather bureau officials were not
alarmed except at the probability oi
sensational reports that might worry
shipowners unnecessarily and cause
loss of time, etc. The officials felt
confident that if the storm should de.
velop to serious proportions there
would be plenty of time for ample
warning. The storm of some weeks
ago passed, as was surmised at the
time, up the Atlantic. 1t was en-
countered by many coastwise steamers,
most of which rode it out in safety.
They reported the velocity of the
wind at 80 miles an hour and over.
