Dangerous Power.

1t may not be known by the
people generally that the work in
Congress is done by com mittees
A member of Congress introduces
a bill and it is referred to the
proper committee. 1t may be
recommended. 1t may be the
will of Congress and of the people
at large, but after it is recon-
mended and placed upon the cal
endar to be called up for consid-
GRAFTON by the party introducing
it or some other, for discus
sion, if the Speaker desires to
defeat the bill he simply does not
recognize the member, and there
is an end of it. No member of
Congress can speak in that body
or bring up bill from the calen-
dar except by the will and recog-
milton of the Speaker, This is
too much, and a most dangerous
power to be placed in a mere
Speaker of the House. 1t is
greater than that of the Presi-
dent himself, because he can
only veto a bill that has been
passed by both houses, and they
have the power to pass it over his
veto by two-thirds vote. The
Speaker simply prevents legisla-
ton at all by killing a bill before
it ever has a chance to come be-
fore Congress. How easy it is
for lobbyists or trusts to control
all legislation through a venal
Speaker, and what a chance it
gives him to enrich himself and
to dangerously, outrageously in.
jure the interest of the people.

day at their various callings, un-

Desperate JeffcOat.

The Salley correspondent Of The
Journal and Review, writing under
date of the 4th instant, says: "Infor-
nation reached here yesterday that the
desperate, Charlie Jeffcoat. Is still in
the Horseys Bridge section. There
can scarcely be any doubt about this
report, as it was circulated by people
from that immediate vicinity who are
so situated as to know" Governor
Gambler has offered reward Of $500
for his arrest, and the authorities Of
Emanuel county have hung out a SIM
liar purse for him. On the 18th of last
month Johnson alias Jeffcoat, while re-
sisting arrest, shot and killed Deputy
Sheriff ]. G. Flanders, Of Emanuel
county, who was brother Of the sher-
iff. The deputy had a warrant for jeff
coats arrest and met him in the public
road, driving in a buggy with his wife.
The officer called upon Jeffcoat to sur
render, and he replied by drawing Il
pistol, resting the barrel Of the weapon
upon his wife's shoulder and shooting
the deputy, killed him. He then left
the state and took refuge in South Car
olina. The governor was appealed 10
and promptly offered a reward of $500
for the arrest Of Jeffcoat and his de-
livery to the sheriff of Emanuel county.
The county at the same time offered a
reward Of $500 for the same purpose.
About ten days ago the outlaw was
located in South Carolina, and when
Deputy Sheriff Auld, Of that state, at
tempted to arrest him, he was shot and
killed. Yesterday morning Governor
Gambler increased the reward offered
for Jeffcoat in July from 5000 to $500.

five for conviction and only one for ac-
quittal. The case was heard before
Magistrate Johnson at mis- home III
Bethel township. Messrs. ]. S. Brice
and w. w. Lewis appeared for tho
prosecution, and Major James F. Hart
and F. P. Mccain, Esq, for the defend
ant. There was not a little trouble in
securing a jury, as a number of jurors
stated on their voir dire that they had
formed opinions that could not be
changed by the law or the evidence.
The testimony was about the same as
presented at the first trial on July 29,
except that the prosecution introduced
additional circumstances intended to
show the fraudulent intent of the ac-
cused while taking money from the pa
irons of his alleged insurance company.
The hearing, including the matter or
empanneling the jury, consumed all
day, and it was some little time after
dark before the jury was discharged
because of it's inability to agree. After
the failure to get verdict today (Wed-
nesday) was fixed as the time for an
other hearing. Magistrate Johnson
agreed to Neely's release from custody
on his own recognizance so far as the
Hogue case is concerned. He had been
committed, however, on two other war
rants in addition to the Iogue war
rant and, therefore, continues In jail.

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 inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
