THE BREAK NOT FAR DISTANT.


Four years ago the South was getting
little over six cents pound for cotton.
Now cotton averages 8 per pound, and
the exports for last month broke all rec
ords.
In addition to its large exports Of cot
ton, the South is annually sending
abroad cotton goods to the value OF mil
lions. This means more money than
that section has handled for many wears.
and a general feeling of contentm9nt and
prosperity.
At the recent election, although the
entire electoral vote OF the South went TO
the Democracy, there was a decided de-
crease in the Bryan vote, when com.
pared with that of four years ago. Thous-
ands OF those Of the South remained
away IRON the polls rather than vote to
rebuke the Mckinley Administration.
The South is content with present con-
ditions, and with the mercantile and
manufacturing interests really favored
by the Republican policy, and the agri-
cultural vote feeling the effect Of good
times, the break in the solidity OF that
section is not very far distant.

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 inAamed condi
ton OF the mucous lining ofthe Eustach-
ian Tube. When tEis tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation 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 Catarh
which is nothing but an inflsmed condi-
ton 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. Send ior circulars,

WHERE BYRON WAS BORN,

The remarkable difficulty of identi-
flying with certainty the houses at
which notable men of letters have
lived in the metropolis is very well
illustrated by the fate which has over
taken the residence in Holes street,
where Byron was born. The poet saw
the light at No. 16, and Peter Cum
ningham, in his London" was con-
tent to state that fact. But the No. 16
of his time was not the right house at
all; the original No. 16 had then been
remembered "a. 1t was, therefore. to
the number that admirers of the bard
should have directed their pilgrimage.
But Byron was born at 24' itself be-
comes inaccurate. for this house. long
marked by the tablet of the Society of
Arts, has now been demolished. The
ground on which 1t stood is covered
by great drapery establishment
which has swallowed up the numbers
of dozen houses in Oxford and HOLES
streets.
Happily the proprietor of the estao-
lishment, John Lewis, has shown him
self ready to do everything that was
possible to remind passers-by of By
ron's intimate connection with the
locality. The fine memorial, of which
we are able to give a sketch, has been

Speaker Farriss and Col Crisp.

Col. Crisp, when in the Missouri leg
islature, was one of the central figures
in scene which promised bloodshed,
which ended in a hearty laugh, and
which was the cause of an astounding
remark from Hon. John w. Farris, the
then speaker. Crisp and another bel
ligerent son of Anak got into a debate
which grew into a quarrel. They shook
their fists at each other and roared
like a pair of Numidian lions. Every
body expected and many hoped to see
a regular old-fashioned knock-down
and drag-out fight, which expectations
and hopes were frustrated and dashed
to the ground by Speaker Farriss re-
marking: "If you gentlemen do not
quit fussing and take to your seats
will order the chaplain to take you
into custody" which SO amazed the
bellicose legislators that they stood IN
a state of lingual paralysis, while the
spectators laughed till they were red
in the face. Humor saved the day
