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 inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have runnbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, 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 infamed condi-
ton 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

Pig's Human PrOtOtype.

The man who thinks of nothing
but making money may not be
capable of realizing that other
people can think of noble purposes.
Like the pig, with its snoot so
deep in the trough that its eyes are
buried in the slop, its human pro-
totype may also be unable to think
of anything in the world but the
one business of getting all that s
to be got. It is right and proper
that pig should have no thought
but for its stomach-it is made
that way. But with man it is
different; to have a pigs mind he
acquires it by killing the best there
is in him. By will he renounces
manhood and debases himself to
the level o. the animal. He spills
no blood, but he murders a man to
make a pig. It is the basest of
suicides, and perhaps is the com
uonest. -Greenville Herald.

N'LAURIN COMES
 BACK YARDAMAN
THINKS THE GOVERNORS MES. SAGE IS A REFLECTION ON HIS DECEASED BROTHER = PAYS ZHls RESPECTS VIGOROUSLY.

Jackson, Miss, January 5-(Special)- United States Senator McLaurin was in Jackson tonight and gave out a lengthy interview in which he vigorously defends the memory of his deceased brother Wal ter, who was once warden of the peni. tentiary.
 In his message to the legislature. Cow ernor Vardaman severely criticised the penltentiary management, declaring the warden for the past ten years had his private instead of state interest at heart, and Senator McLaurin thinks this re- flected on his lamented brother, and he takes Governor Vardaman severely to task, saying:
 'I cannot permit this false and unpro- voked imputation upon the integrity of his motives to go unchallenged. l never thought that men of manly mould would pursue a subject of enmity beyond the portal of the grave, or invade secret pre- cincts of the silent, sleeping dead. In writing this vindlcation of my brother I have not trusted myself to express my estimate of the man who makes such an unwarranted imputation upon him, but owe it to thousands of his friends that the impugnment of his motives shall not go unehallenged."

CAPTAIN ROBSON DENIEs.N
New York World Mistaken About
 Mrs. Griesby Story.

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson has taken occasion through the columns of the Atlanta Journal Friday morning in an interview to deny the report that he was ever engaged to Miss Emile Grigsby.
 The article In the Journal is as fol- lows:'
 Capt. Richmond Pearson Iiobson, hero of the Merrimae, arrived in Atlanta Thursday morning. and took occasion to deny a story in the New York World that his engagement to Miss Emile Grigs- by. the young woman who brought es- trangement between Charles T. Yerkes and his wife. had ever been reported.
 He admitted. however, that he had known the young woman, whom he had met at Old Point.
 He denied also that she had ever visiter Greensboro. Ala, to witness the presen- tation of a silver set to Captain Hob son from his various admirers all over the country. He had not seen the story in the New York World, but declared it was mistake
 Captain Hobson came to Atlanta for the purpose of arranging a lecture tour. Mrs. Hobson will arrive in Atlanta Thursday nlRnt. ana Will itHldih at NHe iShAiiohe hotel. where they are registered, while her husband goes on the proposed tour.
 This is Captain Hobson's first visit to Atlanta since his marriage. He talked with his usual cordality of many things of navy expansion, politics Che is now a candidate for Congress in the Sixth Alabama dlstrleD-and incidentally of Miss Grigsby.
 When seen Thursday morning by a Journal reporter, Captain Hobson was asked about the story in the New York World connecting his name with that of Miss Grigsby. He was asked if the report of their engagement had ever become public.
 "No." said Captain Hobson, there is nothing in that I have not seen the story in the World. but there was noth- ing in that engagement report-nothing.
 'sDld you know Miss Grigsby?' he was asked.
 "Oh. yes, I knew her. I met her at Old Point Comfort, But I met her only casually. as I would any of the rest of the people there She was quite popular at the Point, and there was not the slight est suggestion ss far as I ever heard. of anything doubtful about her"
 "Was it true that she went to Greens boro, Ala?"
 "No, that is all a mistake. As I say, I have not seen the story in the World, but it is a mistake"

USELESS VARSITY MEN2
A Declaration That Life's Battle Is
 Fought With Cardboard Swords.

From the London Express.
 A remarkable appeal for reform of the system of university education is made by the "Granta." the Punch of the Cam bridge world, which declares that the ex- isting training provided for students fits them for scarcely any useful calling in life.
 Turn to the first Cambridge man you meet" the "Granta" says, "and ask him what he intends to do with himself when he goes down. and he will unhesitatingly reply I haven't the faintest notion.
 Let us answer the question for him. He will depart from the university, in nine out of ten cases. having gleaned nothing but a most comprehensive knowl- edge of good and evil.
 He may try several professions, but they are overcrowded and for any busl- ness spost his training has eminently un- fitted him so in despair he will accept the position of assistant mathematical mas ter in some private school at d salary of s400 a year, including board and lodging or if he be lucky enough to scrape through his theological special. he may in time attain to the eminence of a coun- try parson, with a wife and six children. whom he must feed, clothe and keep on the prncely sum of sl50O per annum.
 ''The percentage of university men who
  Go to Australia, Africa, China and to the uttermost parts of the earth, and there you will find men of gentle breeding, who have taken their degrees at Oxford and Cambridge. living the lives of laborers, beggars and outcasts.
 Our life up here. at any rate to most of us, gives no time for thought
 'It should be remembered that we are not speaking of the comparatively few ...sT1 .@I-x al.-t.. goal, nor yet of the brilliant butterflies who dazzle our sight for a moment and then disappear from human sight forever, but of the vast majority of men up here who take third-class in their tripos, and with this cardboard sword in their hands go forth to battle with the stern realities of life.
