Corn Looking BADLY.

LOUISA, VA, June 15-special.-ow-
ing to the dry weather, many farmers
report the corn crop looking badly. Very
little tobacco has been planted. Some of
the larger planters are talking of giving
up tobacco and raising cattle instead.
There are not more than one-tenth as
many sheep in the county as there were
ten years ago. Copious rains have fall
en- during the last few days, which will
cause many tobacco plants to be set. and
greatly improve everything, especially
grass.
The Constitutional Convention is much
discussed, and great interest is felt in
the material Of which it is to be COM
posed. All want the machine politician
left at home. Several men have been
mentioned, the most prominent of the
number is Captain F. v. Winston.
Wheat, something over an average
crop, is ready to be cut, but the har-
vesting is delayed by the rains. The
wheat crop does not "cut much of a fig
ure" in this county, as it requires a
large part of it to pay for the fertilizers
even in good years.

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. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets intiamed
you have a rumblins sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result. and unless the in
fammation 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 sn intiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

WORK OF ENUMERATORS.
The Census Takers Will Complete

Within two or three days the work OF

One OF the rules in connection with the
census is that the daily figures may not
be given out by the local agents. a daily
report is sent to Washington, SO that
when tho report of the last days work
is in an approximate estimate can be CIV

,special Agent Mclaughlin, of the local
office, requests that all citizens who may
have been overlooked in the general emu

so that the census may be as complete as
possible.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said yesterday that he

THE TIGERS AND THE DISPENsARYITES.
For McSweeney, 1,15S; for Hoyt, 309!
These returns from the county of
Charleston give the lie point blank to
the charge Of Senator Tillman that
there is an "unholy alliance" between
the preachers and the liquor men Of
the state. There are more liquor deal
ers in Charleston than anywhere else
in South Carolina. According to the
most ardent Of dispensaryites, there
are 600 blind tigers in this city alone,
to say nothing Of their sympathizers
and supporters. Hoyt's total vote in
the county is scarcely more than one
half the number of illicit liquor dealers
in the city. Judging from the above
returns, either the preachers and their
friends, or the liquor men one, have
been derelict Of duty; or Senator Till
man and his followers have endeavor-
ed to perpetrate a false impression
upon the voters Of the state. The con-
dition Of affairs in Charleston, so far
as this "unholy alliance" is concerned,
prevails throughout the state, and II
Charleston disproves 1T so signally, 1t
is perfectly legitimate to assume that
South Carolina as a whole gives the
same verdict.
But probably it Is the preachers and
other prohibitionists that have shirked
their duty on the day Of the election!
Who can tell? We should be glad II
some of Tillman's heelers in this coun-
ty, some Of those who have been so
loud in reiterating his unjust charges,
would explain the seeming inconsist-
ency Of the charge and the returns

There are only $4,000 miles Of railway
in a land fully half the size Of the Uni
ted Stats. The rolling stock even Of
the existing railways Is totally made
quate to the demands made upon It,
Stocks Of fodder purchased by charita-
BILE organizations, lay for weeks await
ing transport, while the cattle for
which the fodder was intended, died in
lagos remote from railroads, have died,
not because there was no food, but be-
cause, owing to the death Of cattle,
there was no means Of transporting
the food. Another remedy for famine
is emigration from India to the Straits
settlements and the Malay states.
There is a great demand in the coun-
tries mentioned, for labor, and emigra-
tion would certainly relieve the stress
on the country imposed by over-popu-
lation and scarcity Of crops.
The next protective measure in pop
ular favor, Is encouraging industries
among the people other than agricul-
ture. AS a fact, if famine Is to be
fought successfully in future, India
must be rendered much less dependent
upon it's resources as an agricultural
country, and by this means acquire re-
serves Of wealth to fall back upon in
years Of deficit rainfall. Carpet-weav-
ing Is suggested as the first and most
important Of such industries.
Let the British parliament vote TO-
600, 900 or 3O,OO0,OOO sterling, to be ad-
ministered by trustworthy officials in
agricultural improvements, in develop
ing manufactures, multiplying rail-
ways and irrigation works, to utiliz-
ing the material resources Of the coun-
try, and not only will there be no more
famine, but India in time will be able
to repay the outlay with compound In
interest. gibson W1LLETTs.
