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 constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed
Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cou surfaces.

Former Instruments of Torture.

Instead of gymnastics or games
instruments OF torture were used for
modelling the figure of the young lady
of 1881. An English writer OF that
year says that could the modern
schoolroom be preserved il would
pass for refined inquisition. There
would be found stocks for the fingers
(the cheiroplast) the pulleys for the
neck, with weights attached" Fanny
Kemble, to whom nature had been by
no means unkindly, was found want
ing in department, and she writes
that she wore back board made or
steel, covered with red morocco
which consisted of aatpieee placed
on my back and strapped down 70
my waist with a belt and secured AT
the top by two epaulets strapped
over my shoulders. From the mid
die of this there rose a steel rod or
spine with a steel collar, which en-
circled my throat, fastened behind" "
The machine proved a failure, and
she was put under the tuition OF a
drill sergeant, who did for her all

after nine and twenty years OF being
deceased, so promptly filed in the

Andrew Buckley, deceased, Is
working as a blacksmith's helper at
Moran's.
Buckley says he is not deceased at
all but for twenty-nine years his wife
has been convinced he was number
ed among the dear departed, has
worn widows weeds and has even
taken somewhat to spiritualism in or
der that she might commune with
the soul of him who had gone before.
II all this would not convince any
one that the deceased is dead prob
ably nothing would.
Andrew Buckley, deceased, lives at
the Ohio lodging house at First

another Mrs. Buckley who labors un-
der the hallucination that she is the
wife, of Andrew. The situation Is
complicated and in order to make IL
all clear It is necessary to go back
nearly three decades to the city Of
Detroit, Michigan, where Buckley,
then very much alive, lived with
Mrs. Buckley and their infant son.
Even so many years ago Detroit
was a nice place TO live in, but just
the same life was not one grand,
sweet song to the Buckleys. There
was something wrong somewhere.

Knew Nothing of Death.
Enter a new element in the weird
mystery of the death of Andrew
Buckley. The deceased, one year ago,
became weary of Mrs. b., No. 2, and
left her. Mrs. b., No. 2, not know
ing that "her man" was really dead
and had been dead long before she
met him, made strenuous kick
about the deceased's desertion and Is
even now making life altogether too
interesting for him.
Mrs. Buckley, in Chicago, widow,
was just getting ready to weep over
the thirt' eth anniversary of the death
OF Andrew when a letter came. The
handwriting was unfamiliar, but the
signature was not. It was that oil

The Smyrna Town Council has
a good record for the year Just
ended. That there has been an
economical administration of affairs,
will be seen by the town state
ment published in our last issue.
When it is considered that the
town under the provisions of the
charter is only able to obtain about
$4,000 from its taxables, it seems
highly creditable for our Council
men that they can improve the
town plant and pay all running ex-
penses of the town and leave a
clever balance in the treasury. 1t
is pity that more revenue can not
be obtained so that some permanent
improvement can be made to our
streets. 1t is not the fault of the
Council that funds are not avail
able. The people must decide this
by agitating a movement toward
getting a change in the charter that
will enable them to raise more
money. True the streets can re-
ceive much better attention than
they have in the past. The town
is not so poor that it can't do
something but in the matter of
mecademizing or bricking, such
permanent Improvements cannot be
made without funds and this under
the present charter is not available.

vices of Mr.. Arters. Rev. L. P. Cork
ran, who is at Epworth, will, it is said,
leave Wilmington and be exchanged
with some appointment on the Sails
bury district. These are only few of
the changes that will take place at the
conference session. There are many
others, and some of them will raise a
breeze, for they will be entirely unex-
pected and may cause other unexpected

General Conference to Be Held in Baltimore.
The General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, which will be
held in Baltimore commencing May 1,
1908, is composed of delegates elected
by the 1875 local conferences of this
country and 96 foreign conferences.
Wilmington Conference will be repre-
sented by five clergymen and five lay
men. These delegates will not be Sc
lected at the coming meeting this
month, but at the annual conference
to be held next year just prior to the
general conference meeting. 1t is the
largest ecclesiastical convocation in
America and Baltimore is considered
exceptionally fortunate in being select
ed for its next meeting, as it will
bring at least so, 900 visitors to that city.
There will be more than 800 acredit-
ed delegates, including representatives
from all parts of the world and bishops
of the church. 1t has been twenty
years since the general conference met
in the enst. In 1904 the meeting was
held in Los Angeles, California, and
four years before that in Chicago. AL
though there were an unusual number
of bishops elected at Los Angeles Gen
eral Conference, it is expected that
there will be number to be selected
at the coming meeting. Three bish-
ops have died in the past four years
@. @. McCabe, L. W. Jocye and s. M.
Merrill. These vacancies will have to
be filed, and it is probable also that
one or more of the present active bish-
ops will asked to be retired to the sup
erannuated list because of age or ill
health, thereby creating other vacan-
cies.

The bill should therefore make IL
possible To obtain good immigrant

grocs as field hands and il is doubt
ful If any OF the northern European
countries can furnish people able -
stand the summer climate in the fields.
the bill should give 10 the department
authority To determine what races are
best adapted u the needs Of the state.
That foreign white farm hands can
successfully cope with the negro farm
hand has been established beyond
question. a notable instance being at
SunnySide. Ark. whore the Italian and
negroes have been working side by
side under exactly equal conditions.
An article appearing in the February
number Of the Review 81 Reviews gives
the following data:
For the ak years ending with 1904,
the annual averages We're:
Lint produced per hand. Italians,
2,584 pounds.
Lin produced per hand, negroes.
1,195 pound.
Lint produced per acre, Italians, 400
pounds.
Lint produced per acre, negroes,
233 pounds
Earnings per hand. Italians. $277.3G.
Earnings per hand. negroes, $128.47.
Acres cultivated per hand, Italian,
Acres cultivated per hand. negroes,
81.
IN 1904 GG Italian squads earned a
surplus of $38, 764.59, in average of
$5S7.35 per squad. In the same sea-
son, Ii of 10 negro squads only two
earned any surplus above expenses,
a~ggregating $4,000; while the remain
ing los negro squads We're $4,000 in
debt.
In 1905 1O7 Italian squads owned
$23.400 worth of live stock While SO
negro squads owned but $1,000
worth.
From the foregoing figures it is evil
dent that the Italian farm hand is
twice as efficient as the negro, and it
is probable hat in this section of
Arkansas the negro does not now feel,
as was stated twenty-five years ago.
that the negro i the admitted arbiter
of the deetinies Of the south"
Our experience with the North Ital-
ian III eastern North Carolina during
the last two ears is u%nqualifiedly in
THEN. favor, as they are beyond all
question an Industrious, orderly and
cheerful people. They are physically
ntted to replace the negro as a farm
field hand, and are doubly as effec-
tive.
Beyond everything else. they are
white men, and have the white mans
feSpect Tor women and the SubStitu-
ton of the negro by them Will do
much 10 relieve the safety Of the Wo-
men of this country, of which every
white man living in the South is al
ways more or less conscious.
The eastern section Of the State
needs a labOring class physically fit to
sllpplant or replace the negro in the
field. 1t has no desire to force unde-
sired aliens on other sections of the
state, but it claims equal considera-
ton with these other sections. and
n immigration bill tina does not
give equal consideration to all sections
Of the State will not be a just one.
