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 Eu.
stachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, nd when it is en-,
tirely 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 moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous services.

Four Years Hence.

Four years ago the socialists cast but 9S.417 votes. It is stated that the socialist vote cast last Tuesday will exceed 60O,OOO. Tn New York alone 4S,OOO socialists went to the polls; in Wisconsin, 32,000; in Minnesota, 41,- 900; in Chicago alone, 43,000, and so on to the end of the list. What means this deep discontent? It can no longer be ignored and despised, for it prom lses to cast million votes in 1908.
 'If,' says the Chicago News, an in. dependent republican paper, "the huge republican majority in the next coo gress shall 1.ot make an earnest effort to provide remedy for the criminal | trusts, and if the administration Cf President Roosevelt shall accomplish nothing to the same end, there will be a da.- of reckoning four years hence that will not be so pleasing to the party as was lest election day"
 The administration must choose be- tween its campaign subscribers and the people, and whichever way it turns it will accumulate curses that will score on the next national day of reck- oning. The upheavals in Wisconsin, Colorado, Missouri Minnesota and even Massachusetts show that reforms of a drastic sort are demanded, and that if they are not forthcoming the day of reckoning will be the Armageddon of special privilege.

Pig Iron Trading.

Trading in pig iron certificates will be- gin on the New York produce exchange next Monday" remarked a broker. ''The exchange has sent out copies of its rules for dealing in these certificates to 5000 furnace men. The rules provide that the warrants issued by the American Pig Iron Storage Warrant company for pig metal stored under it's system, and which are registered with the Central Trust company, may be deposited in the Farm CTS Loan and Trust company, and against these warrants the latter com pany will issue certificates which will form the basis of trading on the ex- change.
 "Iron futures will prove very popular, no doubt. especially when the iron mar ket is active. As grain and cotton fu- lures fuctuate on changing weather con- ditions and crop reports and stocks on alr sorts of rumors, iron certificates will be affected in speculative value by all sorts of rumors of curtailed or increased production. Spectators and investors will keep sharp lookout for tips from the Birmingham district"

Iron MakIna in OctOb

One hundred and ninety-four coke and anthracite furnaces were in oper- ation in this country on November l, possessing a weekly capacity of 334,- 249 tons-the highest figures since last spring A net gain O. four furnaces in blast, with net gain in weekly capac. .ty all round or about 15,000 tons.
 Alabama is sharing in the general increase. This district had twenty-one coke stacks in blast on November l, their weekly capacity being 23,747 tons.
 The production of this district in October was 11,63S tons, or about 10000 tons above the production of August We are still, however, about 20, ,000 tons below our full capacity. We still have twenty-two idle stacks.
 Although present production is at the rate of 1S,OO0,0 1000 tons a year, yet merchant furnace stocks are being steadily reduced. The reduction since September 1 Is over one hundred thousand tons, and present stocks are firmly held. Prices are steadily ad- vancing in the iron and steel industry, first in one article and then in another. There is no gloom, no anxiety, among producers. They see an active year directly ahead, and their anxiety has been transferred to the consumer who is seeking supplies wherever he can find them, and paying whatever price is asked.

Southern Independence.

The south is on it's feet. It does not
 depend upon the caprice or favor of other sections. It can tote it's own skillet It can even move, if pushed to 1t, it's great essential crop of cotton; it can hold fair share of it if prices are not satisfactory. It can from it's own resources attend to it's lumber, naval stores, iron, steel and coal, it's coal oil, and all it's other varied re- sources, bringing them to market in its own time according to it's own views of the market. Not since the war have southern bankers, merchants and farmers been so forehanded as they are today. They could on pinch finance their own crops.,
 And those crops-could the country do without them? What would become of the favorable balance of trade with out our seven-hundred-m million-dollar cotton crop? What would the price of building material be if southern pine and hardwoods were eliminated? Where would the melters of the coun- try get their foundry iron if this dis trict should go out of blast?
 The truth is, the north needs the south much worse than the south at present needs the north. But the two sections are parts of one whole. A large number of northern investors have put money in our cotton mills, sawmils and furnaces. Those investors are the rulers of the market, and they cannot afford to see this sec tion devastated or even disturbed by the Crumpackers and other dema- gogues of politics.
 The south in short is on it's feet; it has plenty of friends in other sections, and no one need be bit troubled over the rumors and gossip and tittle-tattle of the day. What Washington does not know about southern sentiment and southern resources and southern hopes and possibilities would fill a public document book at least.

Attractions That Draw.

"The only high class attractions that draw big audiences are those that are we'll advertised" remarked a man who has had experience as an advance agent. "The shrewd and successful manager nev- CT bills a town until he has done a great deal of advance work. Paderewski, the pianist, always plays to packed houses because his fame is world wide. The Savage Opera company and the Metropol- itan Opera company. of New York will draw capacity-houses here because their respective arrangements will spend a great deal of money on literature to be distributed through local agent.
 "Ysaye, the worlds greatest vioiinist, will make his first southern tour in 1906 but his press bureau began to get busy a year ago. Since the beginning of 1904 thousands of marked copies of foreign and American newspapers with interest ing articles about Ysaye have been receiv- ed In Birmingham. During the past two or three years many virtuosos, pianists and viollnsts, have appeared In Birming- ham, but they played to empty benches because they had not been sufficiently advertised. But when Ysaye comes he will be greeted by a crowd, for every one will be familiar with his name and his reputation"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-11-13
Phenomenal Thrift.

Every paper one picks up tells Of the rising tide of prosperity in every part of the country, and every man who comes from New York is full of boom talk" said business man. We are un- doubtedly entering upon great era or thrift and high prices. l think 1t Is safe to say that 1t will be the greatest in the history of this fertile and resourceful country.
 "The south is growing richer every year, and it will be only question of time when it will be recognized as the richest section of the union. Population has been increasing steadily and from this time on 1t will grow at very rapid rate. I predict that the census of 1920 will find 50 per cent more people in Alabama than now. With phenomenal prosperity will come a general awakening in our agricultural sections. Alabama will pro- duce, besides a great cotton crop, more hay and corn and more of everything that can be raised on the farm. Alabama has advanced very materially in horticul- ture and fruit growing within the past ten years. but 1t Is yet in It's infancy in this line of industry

Defeat of General cockreII.

After thirty years of service in the senate General Cockrell has been un- expectedly defeated. No one antici- pated a political revolution in Mis- souri. No one had word to say against the states senior senator, who was known to be as honest as the day is long, the very soul of honor. He was, too, a senator who believed in transacting public business rather than in the delivery of grandstand speeches. He could, however, talk when the subject and the occasion de- manded speech, but when they did not ho was silent, but always efficient and helpful.
 He went down, after serving Mis- souri in the days of the Confectionery, and after serving her generation with all fait-.fulness In the senate, not because of any acts of omission or commission on his part, but because of a combination of circumstances i'll complicated political situation. He probably does not know himself ex- actly what drove him out of the sen ate. The people of Missouri certainly do not, and if the present outturn of tEe election had been anticipated it would not have occurred at all at least so far as General Cockrell Is concerned.
 The defeat of Senator Cockrell is but additional evidence of the uncer- tainties of public favor. The game of politics as played in the border states has no sure features in it. In it men are up today and down tomorrow, and it is regrettable that Senator Cockrell has encountered a reverse at a time of life that renders restoration to power and office well nigh impossible. He became 70 years old in October last.

No Occasion for Alarm.

The period of fantastic theories and policies, following the landslide, is upon us. One might be led to think that landslide never occurred before in American politics, whereas there have been many. Horace Greeley was the choice of but 80 electors; George B. Mcclellan of but 21, and both were democratic nominees. In the old whig days Winfield Scott, running against Franklin Pierce, had but 42 votes. Martin Van Buren received in 1S4O but 50 votes The latter was defeated by William Henry Harrison, a whig. These landslides far exceeded in scope and reach the one of last Tuesday. The democrats of 1s40 remained stead fast, and in 1S44 they regained power, which they retained down to the days of civil strife. The democrats of 1868 were not dismayed or cast down by overwhelming defeat, and eight years C
