Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

you have rumbling sound or imperfect
nearing, 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 normal condition.

cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

A large portion of our space is
surrendered this morning to an ac-
count of the sensational resignation
incident between our two Senators

Gaffney resignation business over
again with this difference, that the
challenge was not accepted this time,
for 'sLittle Mac," of Columbia had
said If those designations came that
way again he would make short work
of them. 1t was an unseemly spec
tacle to be enacted on the floor of
the Senate, that of our two Senators
airing before that dignified body
their personal animosity toward each
other. No good can come out of it,
either to the two Senators or to the
State they represent, unless indeed it
should lead to action by the Senate,
which will result in declaring both
seats vacant, in which case the Leg
islature will settle the matter by re-
firing one of them. 1t is political
quarrel between the two Senators
with which nobody is concerned but
the people of South Carolina, and
the quarrel should not be aired in the
national forum. II is greatly to be
regretted now that the Governor
was not let alone last summer and
allowed to accept the Gaffney resig-
nations and let them go before the
people and fight it out. The matter
would have been settled and done
with and this cause of irritation re.
moved from our politics, We are
inclined to believe that Senator Hoar
is right and that both seats are va.

TO that view the matter will be in q
fair way to speedy judgment, and
