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 inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have 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 its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Mad Elephant Kills Her Keeper.

Gypsy, big elephant belonging to
Harris Nickel Plate shows, went
crazy six miles from Valdosta, Ga,
last Saturday afternoon and killed
her keeper, James O'Rourke. The
circus train had been in a wreck at
Triton earlier in the day when seve-
raj of the animal oars were wrecked
and two or three trained horses
killed. The elephant Gypsy was in
a high nervous state when the train
pulled out for Valdosta, the next
show point. Six miles out from that
town Gypsy became 30 noisy and
restless that O'Rourke entered her
car as the train stopped at a small
station, to try to quiet her. Imme-
diately the mad brute attacked re
man and crushed his life out against
the sides of the car. O'Rourke, for
some reason, did not close the door
of the car after him, so after killing
the keeper, Gypsy escaped to the
woods. Her absence was noted
before the train left the station and
a hunt was organized. The big
beast was shot number of times
before she succumbed to rifle bullets
in the brain. O'Rourke's body was
taken to Valdosta, where it was
given spectacular burial the same
afternoon, being taken to the ceme-
terry in circus wagon drawn by six
white horses. His home was in New
Orleans, where he has wife and
family. The skin and bones of the
elephant have been saved. Twelve
men buried the mountain of flesh in
the woods where Gypsy was killed.

Remembering all this, 1 am con-
strained to believe Rev. Thomas
Dickson should change his opinion
as to this class of negroes if he were
ellis Satanic Majesty" or participat-
ing in the government of the infer
nal regions and admit them to the
realms of Avernus. I believe there
are some good negroes and few
Christians among them, but they are
like "angel's visits" Truly the
"Ethiopian cannot change his color
nor the leopard his spots" Neither
can education, political rights and
aspirations for social equality whiten
the skin or unkink the wool of the
African nor refine his nature to any
great extent.
But this is gloomy subject for

noble Governor of a noble State
says, "Be thank full"
But if this dark, ominous cloud
from the dismal shores of darkest
Africa" which overhangs the Sunny
South, be curse instead of bless
ing, don't reckon they mean for US
TO be thankful for it," "Providence e
works in mysterious ways his won
ders to perform"
We have much to be thankful for
AZ blessings from the hand of the
Giver of "Every good and perfect
gift," and our own hearts should in
cline us to render thanks not only on
the days prescribed by "the powers
that be-" but every day and every
hour that we live we should feel and
express our gratitude for the blessed
light of the sun, moon and stars, the
air we breathe, the water we drink,
the food we eat, the raiment we
wear, the odor of sweet scented

A VOICE FROM OLD PICKENS.
The Negro In the Past, the Present and the
Future-Other Pertinent Remarks.

Old Pickens, S. O., December 9Th,
1902.-Editors Courier In my last
contribution | omitted to mention,
among others, one public execution
which took place at Old Pickens
during the war, namely, that of one
John Cottrell, who was convicted of
completely in the robbery Of Elihu
Griffin, for which two negroes were
hanged AZ previously stated. 1t de-
vclopcd on his trial that Cottrcll not
only planned and instigated the
crime, but appropriated most of the
proceeds OF the robbery.
Thus it was in the days Of slavery.
The negro was rarely guilty of any
crime more serious than the larceny
of turkey or chicken (and that not
from his own MASTERY unless advised,
aided and abetted by some white
scoundrel. But freedom, education,
Yankee sympathy and corrupt home
Influences seem to have deadened, to
great extent, whatever moral sensi-
bility he possessed and to have de-
vcloped his criminal instincts, so that
now in defiance of all law, human
and divine, he daringly commits
every crime known to the criminal cat
alogue, from petit larceny to arson,
murder and rape, forgery and the
outraging of white women being his
favorite crimes.
There was also n few years ago a
public lynching of black brute for
the usual crime near Six Mile in
Pickens county. SO tiendish were
the circumstances attending the deed
and 80 great the Indignation of the
neighborhood that his vile body alive
was burned at the stake, his inhuman
carcass reduced to ashes on the spot
where he committed the deed, after
full Identification and confession.
This is another "hanted" place in
the eye of the colored citizen. In
view of the frequency of this crime
nowadays it is hard to understand
how rarely the same was attempted
in the days of slavery. Even during
the bloody struggle between the
States, when every able bodied man
was in arms, hundreds Of miles away
from home and our mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters were entirely
at their mercy, the crime was un-
heard of and undrcaded but now
"borribile dictu," no white woman
in rural settlements feels safe alone
in her own home or on lonely road.
Whatever may be said of the
vices and corruption of the present
generation of free, partly educated
negroes the humility and fidelity of
the Southern slave during the war
cntiile him to our respect and eter-
nal gratitude. All history does not
afford a parallel example of devotion
Of the enslaved to their masters.

President Roosevelt " as not always
the fluent orator and ready extempo-
raneous speaker that he is to-day,
but this is not a matter of surprise,
as precocity is never proof of great
ness, although it has in many in

Roosevelt was wide-a-wake, hus-
Ting youth, good at his books, but
better at his sports, a lover of all
outdoors, and a healthy, hearty,
sturdy American boy. AT school he
was required to write essays, deliver
orations, "speak pieces," just as are
all school boys in these modern days,
and his old playmates still delight to
relate how "Ted" brought the house
down by his method of rendering

at midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour

he repeated,
Greece, her knees-
In vain; his memory stubbornly

GERS Reelected.

Greenville, December 2.-The
State Convention met tonight at 8
O'Clock. The first service opening

the rostrum with the preacher, Rev.
w. S. Dorsett, were Revs. z. Il.

offering a strikingly earnest prayer,
announced III. Cor. iv. 18 as bis
text: "Wbile we look not at the

are not seen, which are eternal and
invisible"
At the close of the sermon DR.. D.
w. Key read telegram from At
lanta, announcing the death of Rev.

responding secretary of home mis-.
sions, and he called on Rev. w. Il.
Tate to lead in prayer. The congre-
cation stood and sang, ooh, how l

President d. w. Key called the
convention to order and the roll of
delegates was called by Rev. G. P.
Ervine.
On motion Of R..T. Marsh the in,
oumbent president was reelected by

Rev. G. p. Ervine and V. |. Mas

Esq, who was very felicitious in his
remarks. This was responded to by
@. @. Brown, of Sumter, who with
pathos and humor charmed his audi.
enoe.
After prayer by G. Z. Spruit, the
convention adjourned to meet at 10
a. m, tomorrow.
The South Ca, olina Baptist State
Convention meets upon a basis of
two delegates to each Association in
the State and one for each $4,000
paid to State missions. There are
about 500 delegates. Of this mum
ber about 275 have been heard from
through the Committee on bospi-
tality. This is representative gath
ering in more than one sense, ae they
are representatives of a denomica. a.
tion 100000 strong, composing 91O
churches with 40 ministers. Their
contributions last year to various
benevolent objects were $217, ,234.62.
Expressions from gathering delegates
and through the Baptist Courier for
last month indicate a readiness for a
forward movement for another year,
and it is expected that this will take
shape in the Convention.
