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 inf1amed on
Gition of the muscous lining of the
E~ustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inf1amed % have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
il is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation 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 inflamed condition of
the muscuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Beers Give the British Tough Fighting

Beers Give the British Tough Fighting
London, July 1S.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts:
Pretoria, July l..
Yesterday the enemy made a deter
mined attack on the left of Pole-Ca-
rew's position and along our left flank
commanded by Hutton. The posts held
by the Irish fuSiliers and Canadian
mounted infantry, under Lieutenant
Colonel Anderson, were most gallantly
defended. The enemy made repeated
attempts to assault the positions, COM
ing in close range and calling TO the
fusilierS to surrender. The enemy
suffered severely. They had fifteen
killed and fifty wounded, and four We're
taken prisoners. The British casual
ties were seven killed, Including the
Canadian Lieutenants Borden and
Birch,) thirty wounded and twenty
one missing.
Fifteen hundred Beers with five
guns, managed to break through the
Gordon formed by Hunters and Run
dies divisions between Bethlehem and
Ficksburg. They were making towards
Lindley, being closely followed by Pa
gets and Broadwood's brigades."

What a fine spread eagle bird bump
tious George White is. He wants
North Carolina damned because it will
not allow ignorant and criminal ne
groes to vote. George was born, he
says, in North Carolina. What a mis-
fortune the old state suffered. If blus-
tering, cursing George would only leave
North Carolina for all time what a
blessing to all, to both races. George
has grown sleek and fat like Jeshurun.
and he kicks high. George is not so
important and valuable as he tries to
impress upon his negro w~orshippers
and pale-faced friends. George is a
half-and-half himself. We recall, what
the Rev. Gabe Tucker said by way of
a deduction:
For 1 hardly need to tell you that you
often come across @
A forty dollar saddle on a twenty dol
lar boss"
Cannot Mckinley rid this state of
him? A pone of bread we'll aimed
would do the work. If he can get an
appointment elsewhere, he will number
with that band of alleged patriots"
all who" left their country for their
country's good.

pOrtant hand in government. 1gnor-
ance in no and ever long controlled
intelligence. 1t is not so writ in the
histories of the world and, we may not
doubt, in the councils Of the Eternal.
To show how violent, how dangerous.
how incendiary are the remnant OF the
populists who follow the leadership of
that consummate fraud, Butler, We
take this from the Nashville Graphic:
while in Springhope Monday we
were informed by some Of the very
best citizens of that place that Marsh
bourne, the populist nominee for COM
missioner, is making incendiary
speeches to the negroes in Mannings
and other adjacent townships aud
urging the negroes TO go to n oils
on August I'd and demand their right
to vote, and if there is opposition on
the part of any po~llholder, for the ne
groes to use violence if necessary to
thwart the purpose of the amendment
and the white people of Nash Other
incendiary speeches are being made
throughout the county and il is these
very speeches which will eventually
cause the white men of Nash to drive
such men as Marshbourne and his ne
gro cohorts from the county"
The tide is on the turn now and is
rushing forward sweeping away the
trash of the fusion gang and the multi
tudinous liars with it. Mr.. Allen Jones
of Davidson county, is a teacher and a
lifelong republican. The Lexington
Dispatch says he is a superior teacher,
but at present he is an internal reve-
nue. officer and is getting $500 per day.
But $500 per day is not enough TO in
duce him to vote against his own race
and against the best interest of his
state" In his letter he says:
Il, for one, have read and re-read it,
have heard it discussed by both sides,
and, so far, W. been unable to do
more than honestly recommend il to
voters of North Carolina for ratifca-
ton. 1 shall vote for it's ratification
myself and cordially invite my friends
of all political parties to join me IN so
noble a cause, viz: the enforcement
of white supremacy, from the noun

A Rryanistic Horoscope.

A combination of the declaratio ms
of the Kansas City platform and the
personal statements of Mr.. Bryan,
concerning questions Of national i'm
portance, produces horoscope for
the country that its voters will be
slow to indorse at the polls in Novem-
Der.
Porto Rico would either be erected
into a territory or turned adrift to
shift for itself, with a pronounced
leaning toward the policy of abandon
ment. The republicans are charged
with enslaving and impoverishing the
island, Notwithstanding the fact that
this years volume of business there,
both in imports and exports, is about
100 per cent. larger than it was last
year.
Cuba would be abandoned at once.
All officials, both civil and military,
would be withdrawn, and the Cubans
would be told to work out their own
future. Furthermore, this country
would have to trust to the honor and
ability of a government not yet
created for repayment of the money
loaned and spent for the benefit OF
that island.
The mutually jealous tribes of the
Philippine archipelago would be given
stable native government without
the employment of force. How this
is to be done is a detail too simple to
be explained. The foreign population
would look TO the Filipinos for pro-
lection. The United States, without
any rights on land, would use the
navy TO protect the natives from
European aggression and would take
their part in European quarrels. II is
worth while to notice also that when
the democracy is talking about the
Filipinos, it insists that they should
be treated as the Cubans are, and
when speaking of Cuba it arraigns
the conduct OF the administration in
Cuba as being burdensome, wrong
and lmperialistic.
1t is demanded that the United
States take some formal action toward
stopping the war in South Africa.
How this is to be done is another I'M
important detail which the country is
asked to leave to the wisdom otthe
man whom Mr.. Bryan may select for
secretary Of state.

There Is hoGsekeepers club near
Champaign. Ills. that is nothing IL not
enthusiastic. The meeting every fort
night of farmers wives, present aud pro-
spective. is held in the modern kitchen OF
one of the members. The proceedings
are thoroughly practical. for instead OF
sitting on stiff backed chairs and listen
ing TO encyclopedia papers on domestic
science these members roll up their
sleeves and go about making something
eatable. IL may toe biscuit ar il may be
pudding, but at any rate IL is made &C
cording 10 the new cookery. and IL IL
tlckles the palate sufficiently the recipe
is placed on big blackboard for trans.
ference into the housekeepers' notebook.
II is indicative OF the interest to say
some OF the members drive 20 miles 10
these meetings. These housekeeping
clubwomen are by no means content to
absorb this domestic science themselves,
but have arranged to have cooking DEM
onstrations introduced into the school
houses therea bouts. This is common In
the cities. but inasmuch as this expert
ment is 10 be conducted in a country
schoolhouse and wholly at the expense
OF these clubwomen the movement seems
all the more commenda Bile.
