GEN. HAMPTON A CHIMBER.-The
Columbia State gives a very interest
ing incident OF Gen. Hampton, which
occurred few days ago, as follows:
Though Gen. Wade Hampton, one OF
the few surviving lieutenant generals
OF the Confederacy, is within few
days OF celebrating his 8lst birthday,
he performed q characteristic feat q
few NOR nings ago, showing he has lost
none OF mis- old time dash and courage
Mis- feat was Indeed very much like
that OF Wheeler's at Santiago though
more dllficult of performance by reason
OF the fact that the aged warrior has
cork leg, and had no tree limbs to
aid him. 1t was yet very early on Sun.
day morning whom one Of the servants
at Gen. Hampton's residence near the
city came to him and informed him
that sparks had fallen upon and ignited
the roof OF the house, which was then
burning. The old general without
permitting any Of the household to be
awakened hastened out and himself
proceeded to climb out upon the roof.
Reaching the blaze he, with the as
sistance OF his servant, managed to ex-
tinguish the flames. 1t was not until
the breakfast hour that any of the
household were aware Of the fire or of
the aged soldiers risky but effective
climb upon the roof.
The Incident WAS not known to but
few OF the generals friends until yes
terday, and they are "s proud OF his
feat as OF any OF those daring charges
he led during the civil war. In few
days he will celebrate his 8lst birth
day at his home, and no doubt the
occasion Will be made very happy
one Tor him by his friends and ad-
mir ers.

SAM WAS ALONE.
There Were Five of the Clay Boys
When Trouble Began.


Back of the mounta1neer's cabin was
great plum tree, and under this tree
was a grave without headstone. 1
noticed the mound as wandered about
in the afternoon, but it was evening
and we sat at the door smoking our
pipes before l made inquiry.
Eyes, that's Sans grave" replied
the old man as he looked away into the
gathering twilight. ''Sam was my son
my only son. We buried him there
five Vars ago."
L saw from the look which passed be-
tween husband and wife that I had
touched on a painful matter, and was
about to, change the subject when the
woman said:
"Joe, he may hev heard sunthin' bout
it. Better tell the story straight
"Wall,'' said the old man after a long
pause, "they had a hoss race, up at the
Co'ners, and our Sam was thar and got
into dispute with one of the Clay boys.
Thar was five of the Ciays, and Sam
was all alone. He was only 10 Vars old,
but when them CIays begun to elbow
him around he stood up to the hull five
of 'em. Thar wasn't no shootin' right

till Sam had got started fur home and
then rid arter him and opened fire. He
had the sense to put his hoss on the

Iered him right along home, and his
hoss was shot as he jumped down at the

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an tnflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
