Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)

(From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, D. c., May l9.-If the
scheme of the Reed chairmen of the
most important committees of the
last House to keep their places under
the new organization of the House
is success, the next Speaker will
find that he is merely at the head of
the old Reed legislative machine.
The argument put forth by these
schemers is little short of ridiculous.
If accepted, it would mean that every
man at the head of an important ccm-
mittee had right to stay there as
long as be could get elected and his
party could control the House. Such
plan would be unjust to the Speak
er, who would be little more than a
fgurehead, if he could not control
the makeup of the committees, and
equally unjust to the members who
wish to better their committee posi-
tions. The Reed machine says that
all the old chairmen who were re-
elected should be given the same
places. and points to fourteen vacant
chairmanships, owing to retirement
of the old chairmen, as the only ones
that the new Speaker should put new
men into; also that none Of the mem
bers of important committees should
be displaced. That would give the

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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets in6amed you have a
rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taA,- mt and this tube restored to its nor
NAL conol,.on, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an iofamed
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 Cure.

he would call to the Executive chair

General Wade Hampton has given
to the press letter declining topper
nit the people to rebuild his home.
OF course the people of South Caro-
lima appreciate the Generals feelings
in this matter, at the same time, We
do not think that he is in a proper
position to decline gift from peo-
pie who desire to give some substan-
tial token Of their esteem. The con-
tributions to be made are not given
in spirit of charity, but in a spirit
OF love and appreciation-the same
feeling which prompts loving and
dutiful son to give token to an aged
parent, prompts the people of South
Carolina to build the Hampton
Home" Let this work OF love go on,
