Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local application as they cannot
reached 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
ipilamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachiau Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have O rumb-
ling 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 destroyed forever: nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed c%ondiditon OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls

DEATH OF MRS. w. d. SIMPSON.
Passed Away In Spartanburg-The
Interment Here Saturday.

Mrs. Jane Simpson, widow Of the
late Governor and Chief Justice Will
liam d.. Simpson, died at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stobo j.. Simpson in
Spartanburg at 2:15 O'Clock last Friday
morning. On Saturday the body was
brought here on the midday train aud
inferred in the city cemetery by the
side of her late husbadd, in the pre-
sence of q large number of friends and
relatives. Brief services were con-
Quoted at the grave by Rev. Robert
Adams of the Presbyterian Church and
many beautiful offerings of flowers
were sent. The pallbearers we're: @.
y. Barksdale, r. A. Cooper, N. b.
Dial, j. ID. Watts, O. w. Tune, II. e..
Todd, L. w. Simkins and w. w. Ball.
Mrs. Simpson was 70 years of age.
She was the only child of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Lucy Young, her father hay-
ing been one of the most distinguished
lawyers and citizens of the State. She
and Mr.. Simpson were married In 1S47
and the lives of the two were spent
succeeded General Wade Hampton as
governor of thesState upon the latter's
election to the United States Senate,
the former having been chosen Lieu
tenant Governor In 1875 and again in
1878. Judge Simpson passed away in
1890.
Mrs. Simpson is survived by three
daughters and four sons, namely: Mrs.
N. j. Holmes of Atlanta, Mrs. John
N. Wright of Lisbon, this county, Mrs.
S, j. Simpson OF Spartanburg and Col.
Henry Y. Simpson Of this city, William
D.. Simpson Of Columbia, Earnest A.
and John w. Simpson OF Spsrtanburg.
Mrs. Simpson was a devoted and n
sistent member of the Presbyterian
Church. She was a gentle, kindly lady,
full of charity and patience and In her
were blended the graces of mind and
heart that go to make up the beautiful
and womanly Christian life. She was
the fitting help:mate of the pure and
noble spirit of her distinguished hus-
band. Although the evening of the
lives of neither Of the pair could be
spent in Laurens, Laurens claimed
them always as her own people and 1t
is appropriate that they rest with their
fathers at home.
The children OF Mrs. Simpson have
in the loss OF their beloved mother the
sympathy of all our people.

ment for this special term.
L. We have passed on all bills hand
ed us blythe Solicitor.
II. We have visited the County
Home for the poor and found the same
satisfactorily kept. We find that two
Of the houses leak and recommend the
County Supervisor to have them re-
paired at once. We further find that
the inmates stand in urgent need of
more house room and therefore recon-
mend that two double houses be built
this summer. In our judgement too
much of the land has been cleared and
wetherefore recommend that no further
clearing be made except for necessary
fuel.
III. We have appointed committees
charged with the duty of investigating
and inspecting the County offices, the
books of all County officers, the suffi-
cheney Of their bonds and condition of
the County Jail, which committees will
do their work by the next term of
Court.
Nv. We are informed and believe
and now report that the bridge across
Reedy River, known as the Smith
bridge is dangerous and unsafe, and
should have immediate attention; also
that the roads of the County are in
bad condition and we recommend that
the County Supervisor take necessary
steps in the matter at once.

The GOvernOrship.

It's worth something, worth much,
to the people that a vigorous, clear
headed young farmer like d. @. Hey
ward is a candidate for governor. One
may glance at him and set it down
without further inquiry that he is q
man. In five minutes acquaintance
mi learns that he is an informed and
cultivated man with such bearing
that the people would be proud
Of him in any company where he
might be placed as their repre-
sentative. Whether he was o Till
mantle or an Anti, we do not know,
and when n meets him, the question
does not seem entirely pertinent or ne
c~essary-one is thinking Of him as a
living, active man and the stale, fet.d
issues of older times do not intrude
themselves.
Other good men will be in the race
for Governor and THE ADVERTISER Is
not now advising anybody to support
Mr.. Hayward. His views moy be out
of harmony with ours; we shall wait
and see. Col. Talbert, a fine old sol
oiOl Nls <hhoSi IL Dts 'hoh
are all discussed q, 10 of them will
be the better choice - i question to be
weighed and sifted later. Governor
McSweepy, who has given a great deal
of satisfaction to a great many peo-
pie and THE ADVERTISER among
them, is imaginable as q candidate and
a dangerous one to competitors. New
ertheless, it cannot be gainsayed that
the coming of this young Colleton far
mer breathes q life aud lone into h
politics of the State that is distinctly
uplifting and strengthening. News
papers are saying that Mr.. Hayward
sis making a good impression" That
is inevitable. A modest, %virile, candid,
intelligent man will make a good inn
preston on any person-whether that
person be a bishop or a burglar.

mans aristocratic hide to print his
name along with a whole column of
names. Now in the up country, what
a friend of ours lovingly calls the
"damupcountry," society people are
unknown. In fact we have at least ten
cotton mills to one clawhammer coat
in this barbsric region.

reaction in these stocks as a result of the
development in the money market was
CHIEFLY remarkable from the fact that
those developments were generally ad-
mitted to be impending. last week. The
answer made to this was that the abun-
dance or capital in the West Would re-

TO the buying of stocks. But when the

season, this assurance did not avail to
