Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, because 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 infiamed cOndi-
ton of the mucous lining of the EuStachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result and unless the inflama-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

(Sylvan Valley News, Brevard. n. c.
1t may be question whether the edit
or OF a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any OF the various pro-
prietary medicinS which food the market.
yet as preventive OF suffering we feel it
duty to say a good word for Chamber
lain's Collie Cholera and Diarrh9a Rem
edy. We have known and used this
medicine in our family for twenty years
and have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while physician
is awaited. We do not believein depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for a cure.
but we do believe that if a bottle OF
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception OF an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many cases
the presence OF a physician would not be
required. At least this has been our ex-
perience during the past twenty years

and everything in it thoroughly clean
ed and renovated when one is through
even though it discommode the occu-
pants two or three days-is any number
of times better.
The small, stiff vegetable brushes that
cost only live or ten cents, are invaluable
for cleaning the holdings, corners and
crevices Of woo dwork and furniture.
Use small, stiff, fat paint.brush for
cleaning the corners of the window sash.
Be spa ing of ammonia In washing
windows, as it Injuries the paint.
Hot sharp vinegar or new half dollar
will remove paint spatters, and turpen-

An excellent mixture for cleaning
glass is made by filling bottle with
glass stopple) half full of deodorized
benzine, and adding calcined magnesia
until it is as thick as cream. Apply
with soft cloth, then polish.
Printers ink is the best polisher vet
found for glass. Use soft cloth for

Clean white woodwork with soft water

THIS alleged smallpox epidemic
is costing the tax payers of the
county pile of money. 1t Is esti-
mated that the bills to be presented
at the next term will aggregate about
twelve thousand dollars. The Coun-
ty Court Is usually conservative and
economical, and will no doubt see
that no bills are allowed for any ex-
pense that should not have been in
Cured, and that all money hereafter
spent is judiciously spent.

the smallpox question and discuss
the possibilities of Columbia for a
time. Discuss it through the news
papers and on the streets; and from
this discussion get some practical
suggestions, and then-mark this
point-work them out. The trouble
with us has been that we don't do
anything. We are quick enough to
recommend to somebody else to
start something or build something;
we are prompt enough to suggest to
outside capitalists to put their
money in this enterprise or that; but
we forget the wholesome advice of
the good old adage, ''if you want a
thing we'll done, do it yourself"
Columbia is prosperous and grow

retirement of Col. Cox from the
Congressional race will simplify the
situation considerably. The ques-
ton now Is not "wbo is the strong
man to beat Cox" but "who Is the
best man for the place." The three
avowed candidates ought to have
the race to themselves. 1t is rather
late, after all the fence building that
has been done, for any new man to
break into the political enclosure
and overcome the start the others
already have. And the people
should be careful from these three
to choose the best; for, the probabili-
ties are, that the man elected next
fall will hold the office for elk or
eight years. Mr.. Padgett is a good
lawyer, and ought to know how to
frame good laws He Is fine
speaker, and In debate could hold
his own with the best of them. He
is prudent, safe, conservative bust
ness man; a man who hos not
squandered his money. and would
not squander other peoples money
o man who pays his own debts, and
realizes that it takes money to pay
the public debt, and that all this
money must come from the people.
He has never hobnobbed with the
"smart" set much; he Is neither a
high.fyer nor fast liver nor. fine
Judge of good whiskey, but he is a
strong, steady worker, and would
make representative the district
could be proud Of. He is strong all
over the district, and the man that
beats him will be the next Congress-
man.

an accessory to the Goebel assassination,
is still in Jail. The prosecution claim
that they have damaging evidence
against him.
The confession of w. H. Culton, who
was also arrested charged with being
implicated in the killing, is claimed to
be even more important than that of
Golden, although the exact nature of IL
is not known.
The chain of evidence is gradually

of eliminating testimony is expected.
One of the men who was present
when Culton made his statement saws
of the revelation made by Culton:

has also given the names of all who
were in the same room with this man

SOME OF the enterprising citizens
of franklin have organized COM
pany to purchase phosphate rock, in
order to encourage the development
of that industry, and give a home
market to those who have little or
much on their farms. A good many
farms in this county have just lit
tie of the rock; not enough to sell
the farm, or to warrant the owner in
going into the business. But il they
knew what they could get for it and
where they could sell it, 1t would be
worth thousands and thousands OF
dollars to this county, and could be
so managed as to centre that trade
in Columbia. Such company has
been talked OF here, but like many
other good things has so far been
taken out in talk. The HERALD in.
tends to try to serve the public by
undertaking to organize such COM
pany Ia Columbia. Not that we are
In that line of business, or that we
have the time to devote to outside
lines, but simply because nobody
else will. II we fail, it will not be
our fault, but because of lack oil

not require great amount of CAPT.

good dividend. Now anybody who

COMPANY TO BUY PHOSPHATE.

COMPANY TO BUY PHOSPHATE.
In continuation Of the suggestion
In our last issue concerning the
organization Of a company in Co
lumbla TO buy phosphate rock. we
do not wish tn be understood rs
talk ing Of buying phosphate lands,
or al mining the rock. The idea is
to organizs company to buy the
farmers iock. just like the millers
now buy his com or bis wheat.
Inaradius Of five miles OF Colum.
bia, on different farms, there are
one hundred acres. at low esti-
mate, OF merchantable grade Of
phosphate rock. 1t is in peck cts;
an acre here, two acres there, five
or ten yonder. The big dealers don't
care to handle it, because 1t makes
competition in their business. In
their present condition the owners
OF this rock are virtually shut out of
the MARKET because they don't
know what the market is, or where
it is, or how to handle it.
The plan we propose Ia to or.
ganize company that will supply
them with this market. Suppose
this can be done, lets see what it
will be worth to the farmer and the
stockholders in the company; the
one furnishing the raw material, the
other the capital to handle 1t.
One hundred acres, with three
foot vein, would yield 100000 tons
Half of it we will say is 1917 rock.
That grade of rock, In three miles of
a railroad can be mined and put on
the cars at about half the price 1t
can be sold for. 1t is now worth on
the open market about SO per ton.
Estimating the total output to be
3OO, 900 tons, and half of it to be 75%
rock, would give US 10000 tons OF
759 rock. This mined and delivered
at $3.50 per ton and sold for 50 per
ton, would yie'd net profit OF 1926
600. Say one tenth of that should
be handled In one year; that would
be a profit of $22,5OO for the years
business. Now let Us suppose that
two. thirds of this profit would go &c
the farmer for his labor and raw
tmaterial, ami One-third to the COM
pany for their labor and the use OF
their capital; the farmer would have
a net profit of $4,000 and the com
panv net profit Of 81 500.
A company with " 800 cash capital
stock could do nearly II MT quite
that much business In a year; and Il
they did they would make nearly II
not quite l0096 on their money.
Are these figures extravagant? II
they are, we will take no exception
to your saying 40.
Are they conservative? II they
are, will you take some Of the stock
Will you help yourself and help the
