No Texas County Excepted.

Mr.. W. E. Severance, a grain
dealer of Lake City, writes the Gov
ernor enclosing letter from some
grain dealers in Texas. This en-
closure states that the Texas Grain
Dealers association regrets that the
boil weevil law forbids the impor-
tation of Texas oats into South Car
olina and recites the fact that though
Louisiana also legislated in a like
manner against Texas she will per-
NIT importation from some counties.
A letter has been written to the
Grain Dealers association to the
effect that exception will not be
made in South Carolina in favor of
any Texas county, as the danger
from the weevilis is considered great.

members and they will have a club
of ten more to initiate at an early
meeting.
The farmers are now very busy
gathering their crops and perhaps
many of them will neglect gathering
their seed for planting until after
they are done gathering or until
after spring when they get ready to
plant. Every farmer should go over
his corn and gather toe best ears off
of such stalks as suit him best. He
could in this way get much better
seed than he can by waiting until
his corn is in his cub. The cotton
that you expect to get your seed
from for planting should be The very
best that there is on the place. You
should not use seed from cotton that
dies eff or that is rusty as it is said
that such seed will develop the same
diseases in II Fe following crop. It is
a common thing to hear farmer
say that his corn or cotton has run
out and will not produce csops as it
once did. By careful selection of
seed from yesr to year any crop can
be improved and thereby increase
the producing power of such crops.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets indamed you
have a rumblipg sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stoyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrb, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
