Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure DEAL
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition Of the mucous lin
ining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is
the result, and unless the inf1amma-
ton can oe taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inHam-
ed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give 500 for any case OF
deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot br cured by Halls Catarrh

wreck OH the Southern railway oc-
Cured today near Danville, Va. The
accident was similar to the wreck in

and the fireman injured. The pas
sengers escaped injury The freight
cars caught fire, but were extinguish-
ed. Two tramps are missing and
they are believed to have been killed.

bled at Washington Street church

REV. j. W. DANIEL BELOVED.
Washington Street Church, Columbia,
Honors Him-Adopts Strong Reso-
Iutions.

Columbia, Dec. 11.-The board Of
stewards of the Washington Street
Methodist Church was very much
surprised to learn that there were ru-
I -mors to the effect that the Bishop
had been asked to remove the Rev. j.
W. Daniel, who has been sent to Sum-
ter. These rumors probably came
from the fact that DR.. Daniel was the
counsel for Rev. CIV. Creighton, who
was expelled from the church at the
recent meeting here.
At the meeting Of the stewards yes
terday the following resolutions were
adopted
Whereas, it has come to the ears Of
the board Of stewards Of Washington
Street M. E. Church that we as a
board had demanded the removal Of
the Rev. J. W. Daniel, D. D.. this be-
ing an erroneous report and without
any foundation Whatever
Be it resolved, That we, the board
of stewards Of Washington Street M.
E. Church, in meeting assembled
Monday, Dec. 10. 1906, at 80
o'clock. vigorously protest against
any such report, as no action whatev-
er has been taken or even discussed
at the meeting. Some individuals Of
the board approached on the subject,
and gave their consent IN case he
was needed as presiding elder, other
wise they wished his return to Wash
ton Street M. E. Church, for we con-
slider him one of the ablest ministers
in the South Carolina, conference, and
we regret exceedingly to give him up.
Be it further resolved, That a copy
Of these resolutions be furnished the
presiding bishop, presiding elder, Dr..
J. w. Daniel and spread upon our
minutes and copies furnished the
State, the News and Courier and the
Christian Advocate for publication.

in session at Washington Street
church, hearing reports from the va

on variou subjects, eating chicken,

est to Sumter. I was persuading a
big farmer to ship his cotton to your
city, quite nice lot, when a neighbor
stepped up and advised to the con-
rary, saying that Camden buyers
were paying from three-Guarters to
a cent more on the pound with just
~weights I might have replied to this
had not several others, some large
farmers. corroborated his statement,
one saying he had lost at least $50
on recent shipment. The result was
that my friends cotton wili go to
Camden. AS friend to Sumter
have written this with the hope that
it VII be looked into, because it
means much. It means that the
bulk Of the cotton in this part of the
county, which hitherto has been 60
irg to Sumter, will go to Camden if

Isl.

A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Musical Extravaganza, slumber-
land, Was Complete Success Ar
tislicaIly and Financially.

s.Siumberland,' the big musical ex-
travaganza, has come, conquered ana
gone. But with it does not go the
pleasant remembrances Of many hap
by evenings spent releasing the big
plav, for those delightful moments
will long be treasured by the partic-
'ipants, for every one taking part en-
joyed the rehearsals.
Of course, there was work to be
done, songs and dances to be mas
tered, situations and business Of de-
livering lines thoroughly understood,
but with an efficient instructor and a
WILLINGNESS to learn, the task was ac-
complished and the big play was
satisfactory proof of what can really
be mastered in a dramatic way by
amateurs.
All VINO witnessed a performance
of Sunderland are loud in their
praises Of its merits, and its memory
will linger with Sumter folks for
lorg time to come.
The picturesque banjo girls, tie
weird and fantastic witches, the i'm
mortal wizard and his imps, the two
beautiful queens and the coy and
demure japanese maidens were
groups needing special mention for
their excellent work.
Miss Beaufort Brand was in fine
voice and made a very catchy Helen,
while Mrs. Davis Noise and Mrs. w.
S. Schumacher divide evenly on the
honors of doing Madame.
Hugh Haynsworth made a very ac-
ceptable Professor Of German, and
his impersonation Of the Burgomas-
ter was in keeping with the play.
Mr.. L. I. Parrot as the senator
acted mis- part like an old-timer, while
Tom Walsh as Sambo, the mascot,
could not be improved upon. One Ct
the hardest characters in the play to
impersonate is that Of the mysterious
wizard. Mr.. NJ. o. Gregory, Of insur-
ance fame, donned the red tights and
wore the maphisto smile to perfec-
ton.
It is understood by good authority
that a New York theatrical manager
has offered Mr. Gregory an immense
salary to star him in a big produc-
ton going abroad next season. Mr..
o. M. Watson sang a very pretty solo
in the first act and played Richard
acceptably.
Mr.. Frank Patton, as Phiz, the
chemist, was good, and as he al
ready has newspaper fame, he will
not need further mentioning.
Others in the cast deserving a
share of the credit were Mrs. J. II.
Leasie and her daughter, Vera, Geo.
C.. Warren, little Graham Bowman,
julius Phelps, Hugh Phelps, Miss
Marie DeLorme, and Miss saidee Kel-
ly.
Tie campus cops were great and
their comedy work a novelty.
Altogether, Sunderland was an
excellent production and one Sumter
people justly feel proud Of.
