Deafness Cannot be Cured.

By local applications, as they can.
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inlamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachlan Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucousurs faces.
We will give One Hundred Dol.
lars for any case Of Deafness Caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

full OF hope aud joyous expectations
to be derived from The pleasures an l
duties which await Us in the days

Looking backward over the events
which have t,anspired during the
year that has lst closed, the year
1899 has been remarkable in more
respects than ouc. NJ other year in
the history of this country has such
wonderful strides been made in the
progress Of the sciences, art, manu-
fac:ure, agriculture, finance and com
merce-indeed all the varied branches
of the industry and business Of our
resourceful country have moved for
ward with a rapidly that has been as
astonishing as it has been g~rstifyin g
Ia no field has this impetus been
more experienced than it has right
here in our State. South CIrolina
has far ou~tstripped the balance OF
her Southern sisters in the depart
ments of trade, manufacture com
merce and their allied industries, and
their handmade, agriculture, has upon
the whole, fl ,urished as the green
bay tree, and all this, too, wonderful
to relate, has been accomplished un-
der a Reform administration, which,
a few years ago, it was asserted
would bring ruin and calamity upon
the industrial and business inter ests
of the State. Where are the caiam
ity howlers now? Where are the
false prophets who arose in those
days and prophesized such direful
catastrophes should Farmer Ben and
the one gallus boys be entrusted with
the government of the STATE? Have
those predictions been realized? Let
the business records OF the past de-
cade speak for themselves and if they
are rightly interpreted it will be
found that S ,uth Carolina has never
enjoyed such an era Of prosperity as
it has since the farmers have been in
tie saddle.

Tuesday of next week the Legisla-
ture of the State of South Carolina
will meet in General Assembly. The
most important measure which will
receive the attention of the solons
will be the dispensary law. No
doubt this law will be materially, if
not radically, amended, so as to sim
pity its working machinery and
make scandals we'll nigh impossible.
Another measure which should pass
at this session is an Act prohibiting
the use of the coat-of-arms of the
State for any purposes whatever ex-
cept upon official papers and by off
GERS Of the law. The coat-of-arms
can be as badly disgraced by its use
in other ways than by being embla
zoned upon dispensary bottles.

We charge our Senator and mem.
bers of the House OF Representatives
to scrutinize closely the proposition
to extend the limits of the city OF
Columbia. If it is proposed to take
in territory on the eastern side Of
the Congaree no opposition should
be given to the bill. But if it is
proposed to encrouch upon the terri
tory of Lexington county, then it
should be fought for all it is worth.
The people of Lexington will watch
closely our delegation and by their
work during the present session will
they stand or fall. We are satisfied
that our people do not want annexa-
ton and it is wrong to put them to
the trouble and expense of holding
an election to decide something that
has already been decided in the
minds of an overwhelming majority
of our people. We warn our people
in advance to sign no paper present
ed to them without fret carefully
reading the same. Take no mans
word as to the nature of its contents,
and if opposed to the scheme, which
SO far has been advocated only by
the Columbia State and a few polit.
ical enemies, thrust it from you as
you would push a rattlesnake from
your path. Have nothing to do with
the unholy thing.

The General Assembly Ct South

The General Assembly Ct South
Carolina will meet in annual session
next Tuesday at ~ N. We know Of
no Measure at present that will ex
cite as much debate as that Of the
whisky question. This qve 'tion has
long since ceased to be a problem.
The d~ispensary system, SO far as re-
stricting the sale of intoxicating
liquors is concerned, has solved 1t to
the satisfaction of affair minded peo-
pie and reasonable temperance ad-
~vocates. 10 the main only disgrun.
tied politicians and the advocates OF
open saloons, under the guise of the
dispensary system, are agitatipg
the repeal of the dispensary law now.
These people, seemingly, have reach
ed the last ditch of opposition and
have concentrated their forces on one
issue alone, namely local option. They
gathered a set of arguments which
have plausible grounds only in their
Imagination and present them with
the hope that the General Assembly
will override and trample under foot
the wish OF the people which has
been expressed election after election
clearly and unm;stakably through
the ballot box in no uncertain sound.
They want Charleston, Columbia
aud Greenville, where the opposition
to the ~dispensary law is most pro-
nourced, to say whether they will
have local option, dispensary or pro-
hibition, when it is a foregone n
clusion that should this privilege be
given them they will without excep-
ton vote for the first named system.
To this end Senator Applet, ct Clar-
endon county, has prepared and will
introduce a bill during the coming
session providing for the submission
of this question to the voters Of the
State. The people having already
settled this question to their entire
satisfaction, are unwilling to fight
over the same ground or thrash over
the same straw. The proposition lie
illtimed, unnecessary and totally out
of place and the bill should be killed
without debate, and thus save the
taxpayers the expense of a discussion
The only thing that remains for
the General Assembly to do is to
amend and change the system in the
management of the dispensary. We
want to return to the old way of
managing it in all its simplicity and
efficiency, so that the best results can
be obtained and the greatest good
accomplished. Do this and receive
from 8 satisfied and contented people
the plaudit of well done good and
faithful servants.

We have received a copy Of the
declaration and call for the National
Anti Trust Conference, which reads
as follows:
W. believe the criminal conspi-
racies in restraint of trade commonly
known as Trusts, which so alarming
ly characterize the present times, are
a menace to liberty. They close the
doors Of business opportunity to all
but the rich and powerful. They
improverish the producer and con-
sumner. They degrade labor. They
have seized upon the avenues of
transportation and poisoned the
fountains of public information.
They debauch the elective franchise.
They r public enemies. Unless
they ara o%verthrown there will be
established in free America a monied
oligarchy on the one hand and a
serfdom of the masses of the people
on the other. They must be de-
stroyed or free government is lost.
The only power capable of success
fully combating the tyranny of these
gigantic capitalistic m~onopo!ies is
the aroused and organized hosts of
the people to whom the government
and the country rightfuIly belong
and in whom all power of right
inheres.
Oar people was born of the love
of liberty which in 1915 impelled the
fathers to rebel against the tyranny
OF the English monarch and the
special privileges OF the British eris-
tocracy, and which inspired them to
pledge to the cause of human free
dom their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor.
TIE same love of liberty destroy
ed the aristocratic institution of slav.
cry, a power once fortified in the
courts and entrenched in the consti-
tuition. That same spirit now will
suffice to overthrow the new slavery
and tyranny of the Trusts.
In order to restore the equal
rights of the people and deliver them
from the criminal despoiliation of
these monopolistic combinations, it
is imperative that the special priv
ileges which created and foster them
be uprooted and forever destroyed.
This h%erculean task can only be
accomplished by the organic 'tion of
the lovers of freedom in every part
of the republic and through the
persistent and determined eforts of
a united people.
TO this end q National Anti Trust
Conference is hereby called to meet
in the city of Chicago on the birth
day of Abraham Lincoln, February
-, 1900.

and territories duly accredited AMI
