A wALHALLA SECRETARY.
w. B. Jaynes, a Brother of One OF
Oconee,s Best Lawyers.
II. H. b., in spartanburg Herald.)

ct. HI. D., in Spartanburg Herald
Washington, Feb. 29.-Twenty-
years ago to-day, youngster from
Walhalla, s. c., landed In Sherman.
Texas, as completely unheralded and
unknown as vas Robinson Grusue
when he set foot upon the desert isle.
The young South CaroIinian had de-
voted some time to the study of law,
and, believing that the opportunities
of the great Southwest were more
inviting than were to be found in his
native State, he bought through
ticket, and landed in Sherman with
$50 in his jeans-this is not slang
they were jeans, sure enough.
The stranger was w. b. Jaynes, a
brother of r.. t. Jaynes, at present
one of the leading lawyers of Wal
halia. He had considerable amount
OF sand" however, which has proved
to be worth more to him than "gold
dust. Mr.. Jaynes went about Sc
curing admission to the bar In Texas,
and in "a short time he was city at
torney, and, while his $50 began to
diminish bit at first, it soon took
a turn for the better, and Mr.. Jaynes
says that he never had less than SEQ
after the first month, until he went
into politics.
He was in the Texas House as read
ing clerk, when Joseph w. Bailey
was chosen to represent his district
In Congress, Mr.. Jaynes having been
the man to place Bailey's name be-
fore the convention which nominat-
ed. Later Mr.. Bailey appointed Mr..
Jaynes as his secretary, and he has
held that position ever since, being
retained when Mr.. Bailey was sent
to the Senate.
Mr.. Jaynes' 'capability is not to be
measured by the ordinary standards
of the secretaries to public men. He
Is a secretary, but he Is at the same
time wise and a sagacious observer
of political events and affairs. In
other words, he is Senator Bailey's
right-hand man, in matters OF far
more Importance than those which
are ordinarily left to secretaries. He
is regarded as the best posted, by far,
of the many bright and able men
who sorve as secretaries to the ma
tion's law-makers.
In 1892 Mr. Jaynes married Miss
Elizabeth Smith, of Indian Territory,
who, he says, is far more capable
secretary than himself. They visited
Mr.. Jaynes' old home In WalhalIa,
and stopped day or two in Spartan-
burg with Rer resentative Johnson's
family last year.

KILLED FIGHTING FOR SON.
Father Slain While Trying to Rescue
Boy from Probation Officer.

San Jose, CAL, March 4.--John l..
Ivancovitch, one of the best known
fruit packers in California, was shot
and killed yesterday in Santa Clara,
as the result Of misunderstanding
by Probation officer John l.. Shafter,
of this city. The young son of the
dead man was playing about the
streets during school hours, and
Shafter, thinking to enforce the COM
pulsory school law, gave chase. and
catching the boy took him into his
buggy with the intention of taking
him to school. The lad resisted, and
his screams attracted the attention
of the father, who jumped over tho
back of Skaters buggy, hurled the
officer to the ground and severely
beat him. During the melee shot,
supposedly fired by Shafter, pierced
Ivancovitch's abdomen, and he was
almost instantly killed.

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
enflamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube Is infiamed you have a
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 its normal con-
dition, hearing Will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

THOUSANDS SAVED TO STATE.
Attorneys for Liquor Houses Accept
DEGREES OF Commisson.
(The State. March a.

lIne state, March a. Nt4lS
At yesterdays session OF the dis
pensary commission 10 orders of
Judgment In the cases OF whiskey
hoassssss having Claims asainst the for
mer State dispensary We're filed. I'm
every one of these cases the decree
OF the commission has been accepted
by representatives OF the houses in
terested. The claims presented In
which Judgments were rendered ag-
gregated S136,935.6S, of which total
amount $22,16S.95 was deducted by
the commission as oyer-charges, rep
resenting the basis of rebate pay
ments. -
The DEGREES of the commission In
these cases authorize the payment of
each of the several claims less the
amouist of overcharges, saving
being made to the State of about
4ia per cent of the total amount
of the claims.
The judgments rendered by the
commission will be taken before
Judge Pritchard this week for his
endorsement, this being required un-
der the injunction which he issued
several months ago in which the
commission was enjoined from pay
y
hands except on order OF the court.
The total amount Of funds ordered
paid out blythe commission yester-
day is about $115,00O.
Another feature of the case dis
posed of by the commission yester-
day Is that the State made a fur
ther saving Of about $4,000 in the
way of interest which the total
of $136.935.6S has brought in dur
Ing the past year at per cent. The
whiskey houses whose claims were
disposed of not only agreed to all
oyercharges being deducted from
their claims, but forfeited all claim
to interest on their money, which has
been tied up for the past year and
more. So, in reality, the State of
South Carolina made a net saving
of about $4,000 in the matter OF
the claims which were adjudcated
yesterday.
