I, Raleigh. N. c.. Sept. 2o.--A special
from Winston says:
@ ITO the surprise of his many friends,
Mr. Robert La Hendricks, one of
Salems leading merchants. closed his
store this morning and turned his busi-
ness over to the Wachovia Loan and
Trust Company, leaving on the 1880
train for the North. MIR. Hendricks
told some of his friends that his busl-
ness was in excellent shape and that
other trouble was the cause Of his ac-
ton.
Upon learning Of the, absence of Mr..
Hendricks and the cause Of It,, friends
served notice upon the young man
charged with being responsible for the
( trouble to leave the city on the next
I. trim. This was done and he went
away on the 5:10 train this afternoon"
M1SREPRESENTED.
The Morning Gazette Of Asheville to-
day prints under fiaring headlines an
alleged interview with Hon. Thomas
Settle. in which he Is made to say that
he favors the adoption of the Constitu-
tional Amendment, because he believes
In an educational qualification for
blacks and whites alike, and because
ne believes the Fifth cla;ise will be de-
clared unconstitutional. thereby placing
whites on the same basis with negroes.
In the Citizen this afternoon Settle
declares the Interview to be n pure
fabrication, saying that he refused to
give the Gazette any Interview what
ever and asking that his name be not
used In that paper in connection with
the amendment.
The Gazette acknowledged in talking
with Settle that his attitude was en-
barrassing Republicans In the west
very much and urged him to modify his
statement. This he refused to do and
the Gazette proceeded to make him say
Just what 1t wanted said. In utter dis
regard Of facts. as we'll as common
courtesy.

Churches ReOpenet.

The various churches Of the city,
with the exception of the First Bap-
fist Church (whose pastor, Rev. NJ.
B. Adams, was not in the city,, re-
opened for service on Sunday morn
ing. Considering the short notice
given and the threatening weather,
there were good crowds out, and the
people seemed to rejoice at the fact
that the smallpox epidemic was
over, and that the service had been
resumed.

Wicked Misrepresentation.

Esq. Jas. A. Lyon was in town
county county day (Monday), and
says that some malicious liars have
been Systematically circulating the
story, in the Woodlake and Forks of
Elkhorn section, that it was danger
Gus for any one to come to this city
on account Of smallpox; also that
the patients at the pest-house were
dying so rapidly that it was impos-
sible to bury them fast enough.
The fact Is that there has not been
a single death from smallpox and all
the patients are rapidly convalesing.
The circulator of that lie ought to
be branded.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiamation 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 in
famed condition of the mucous sur
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrhl that cannot be cured by

FRANKFORT, AUG. ~ 1899
Another Daniel Come to Judgment.

Our friends Of the Anderson NeUs
are nice fellows, fine fellows, they
are. In last weeks paper they were
paving up the premises and snorting
worse than n three year old short
horn of the male persuasion about
the RoUNDABoUT suppressing the
facts in regard to smallpox in this
city, and upholding the senseless
quarantine they had up there against
us.
Now, 10! and behold, ii turns out
that they had four cases of smallpox
their ourselves, which had been on
hand forty several weeks, and did not
know (o it was that disease until
the patients were convalescent, and
they had several new cases on hand
and our DR.. John Graham had to 70
there and tell them what ii was.
So much for these fellows that
never GU suppress anything, putting
out their cheeks and saying "Just
look at us! We would s-c-O-r-n to
keep the fact of smallpox being in
our town from the public. But, as
for those Frankfort fellows, they are
wicked, wicked and deceitful men.
They only publish health bulletin
every day."
Alas! alas! How are the mighty
fallen! Another frog trying to be-
come as large as an OK with the usual
result.
"Out of thine own mouth will 1
judge thee"
Since writing the above we have
received the Anderson Necs of this
week, in which, after giving long
account of the smallpox epidemic in
that place, it uses the following LAM
guage:
There have been cases of real small
poX in Lawrenceburg, but they are
altogether isolated, and there is no
more danger on the streets here now
than there is on the streets of any
other Kentucky town. People come
and 60 just as they have always
done, and we see AS many persons
here every day as there were before
the disease made its appearance.
We appeal to our readers to say
whether or not this is almost exactly
the language we used, and for which
we were told that we were "sup-
pressing the facts" and great big
lecture read to us by the editors of
that paper?

Change of Meeting Place.

1t will be seen by the subjoined
action of Lebanon Church and the
Executive Board of the Franklin
Baptist Association that the place of
meeting of the Franklin Association
has been changed.
AT meeting of the Church at
Lebanon, on Saturday last, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
In view OF the epidemic now pre-
vailing in the bounds Of the Associa-
ton; be it
ResOiced, That the church deems it
best that the Association he called off
for the present, and the matter he
left with the Executive Board for
future meeting Of the Association.
The Executive Board met in this
city on Monday last and adopted the
following resolution:
ResOlUed By the Executive Board Of
Franklin association, That in view
Of certain conditions existing in the
vicinity of Lebanon Church, with
which the Association meets this
year, that the Association be so
changed i'm its session as TO request
each church to send its letter and
money for missions and printing
minutes by one or more messengers,
together with all the pastors OF the
Association. to meet in Frankfort at
the First Baptist Church, on the 23d
day Of August, to constitute an Ex-
ecutive Session for the compiling of
statistics and receiving the reports of
the various committees and prepar-
ing the minutes for this Ass0ciati0nal
year.
From this it will be seen that the
messengers and pastors will meet
with the First Baptist Church, in
this city, on Wednesday, August 23d.
We hope that all the churches in
the Association will take due notice
of the change and act according to
the recommendation of the Execu.
tive Board.

HARDTAcK FOR FOUR.
Col. Roosevelt Wa. One of the Crate
full Recipients of the sorry
Sustenance.

One rainy night in Cuba four rough
riders had gathered under tree Cor
shelter. They had had nothing to eat
all day and were sympathizing with
one another over their ill-fortune, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
TITS tough luck, !" said one, "but we IL
just have to grin and bear it. l am
about starved all the same"
A trooper from one of the western
companies happened to be passing the
tree, and he heard the last remark.
Going up to the speaker he slapped him
on the back and, opening his blouse,
pulled out some hardtacks.
"Sorry yer in SIGH tough luck. pard,'
he said. ~ ran in a streak of luck to-
day and got ten hardtacks. Here, you
take half of 'em."
Thanks old man. was the grateful
reioinder "I'll only take four Iguess
that will dol"
As the westerner walked off the other
rouoh rider turned around and gave
each of his companions bareback
The next morning the western man
was surprised to receive visit from

anE UKANDEEs OF SPAIN.
They Cannot Stand Being Accused of
snobbishness and Have other
Peculiarities.

A writer for Blackwood's Magazine
is interested in the curious habits of
the grandees of Spain. According to
this magazine, the Spanish nobility at
the capital cannot be accused Of being
snobs, masters and servants living to-
gether in state of familiarity that
the writer finds amazing. He says:
Zone day at dinner my host, Marquis
-, told us in a perfectly natural man
rer that when the conductor came to
collect the fares on the train that morn
ing he had refused to take his, saying
that twas already paid The marquis,
looking about to find his friend, dis
covered Manuel, his valet, on the plat
form smiling and making signs to him
that he had paid the masters fare.
Later the writer was crossing the At
hntic on Spanish steamer with a
duke and his valet de chambre. They
both Travelled first-class, ate at the
same table and offered each other
cigars. Their staterooms were alike in
every particular. Continuing, the ar
ticle says that there is nothing Span
fards hold in such horror as reading,
especially the women. Printed paper is
intimately connected in their minds
with the loss of the soul and eternal
punishment"
