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 con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
ia nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred DOL
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

One of the New York trade
journals carries a half page illus
tration of the Cannon Mills at
Concord, Karnapolis, China
Grove, Salisbury and Albemarle,
accompanied by an advertisement
of the cotton huck and Turkish
towels made by these mills. The
claim is made by the Cannon
Mills that they are the largest
manufacturers of these goo1s in
the world, claim which can be-,
no doubt, easily substantiated. 1t

BRYAN AND PROSPERITY.

900 Men Crying for Work In Pittshurg.

When Bryan is elected there
will be no sensational TRADES
against mon of wealth. The laws
will be enforced fairly and without
bluster. There will be no favor
itism. No Mortons will be white
washed, and other railroad men,
less guilty, punished. No steel
trust will be coddled while nom
contributlve trusts will be ha-
rased. Everybody will get-not
the promise of the gambling phrase
of a "square deal"-but fair
chance and equal rights and no
prescription Of injury to business.
We shall then have no such con-
dition as the following described
in press dispatch from Pittsburg
on the 9Th day Of February, 1908:
1.-THE cry of the unemployed
daily grows more distressing in
Pittsburg. There are $4,000 men
idle, and the specter of the dread
ed soup houses again makes it's
appearance. The first soup house
! will be opened by the Salvation
Army Monday morning, and un.
less there is some radical and
prompt change for the better,
more places of this kind will be
in demand before many days have
elapsed. The situation is not real
ly alarming, but it is bad enough,
Soup houses have been the dread
of the business men and civic
leaders, and every effort has been
made to avoid them."

Farmers Wanted.

Washington, D. c., October IA,
190S.-Wanted-3,0OO practical
farmers who would like to own
homes of their own. The govern
ment has nearly 100000 acres of
land lying under the various irri-
CATION projects throughout the
West for which water will be
available next season. The farm
unit on these projects varies IN
most cases from 40 to 60 acres of
irrigable land, depending upon
location. In many sections
tract of grazing land has been in
cluded in the farm unit wherever
practicable, bringing the total up
to 160 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land Office fee
for filing, is the actual cost of get
ting water to them, and payment
may be made in ten annual in
stallments, without interest.
These irrigation projects are
scattered over the entire arid re-
gion, from Canada to the Mexican
line. In consequence, every va
riety of crop grown IN the temper.
ate zone can be raised under them.
If you would like fruit or dairy

or poultry raising, just write to

clamation Service, Washington,

J. M. Lippard, of Fallstown

the five stalks containing 20 ears.
The ears are not large but are

stalks, Mr.. Lippard says, are the
average from an acre which he
cultivated as an experiment.
Many of the stalks contain seven

three acres in corn, cultivating
according to the directions of the
national Department of Agricul-
ture. From the acre planted in
the Biggs Prolific variety he cut
800 ears on the stalk for seed, and
then gathered 85 bushels addition

is estimated at 80 odd bushels.
Another acre was planted in the

Captain Rankin's body was found
this morning riddled with bullets
and hanging from a tree one mile
from the hotel.
Efforts to locate the body Of
Colonel Taylor have been futile
thus far, but it is believed that he
was also killed.
Sheriff Eastwood and posse of
armed men left Union City this
morning for the scene of the MUIR
der. If they meet any of the
''night-ridsrs." it is expected that
a pitched battle will be fought.
Sheriff Haynes, of Lake county, is
also on the way to the scene from
Tiptonyille, The trouble which
resulted il the death of Captain
Rankin and the probable murder
of Colonel Taylor was caused by
the passage of an act by the Legis-
latue regulating fishing in Reel
Foot lake, short distance from
Walnut Log.
A "night-rider' disturbance
over the same matter occurred
over a year ago. Ever since then
Colonel.Taylor and Captain Ran
kin have been in receipt of threat
ing letters, to which they paid
little heed.
Mr.. Ward, the manager of the
Ward Hotel, at Walnut Log, tele-
phoned Sid Waddell, a stockhold-
er in the West Tennessee Land
Company, stating that about
twenty-five masked "night-riders"
came to his hotel at midnight last
night.
According to this report the
"night-riders" lined up outside
the hotel, pulled out their revol-
vers and called Colonel Taylor
and Captain Eankin. The two
men did not suspect trouble and
came down Immediately.
AS the attorneys passed into
the front yard of the hotel the
"night.riders" covered them with
revolvers. Before Captain Ran
kin and Colonel Taylor had! an
opportunity to retire they were
surrounded and seized They
we're put on horses behind might
riders" and carefully guarded.
The "n1ght-riders then quietly
took up their march from the ho-
tel, turning down the road toward
Reel Foot lake. Proceeding to
the edge of Reel Foot lake the
"night-ridera" pulled out a. rope
and placed the moose about Cap
tain Rankin's neck.
Captain Rankin was strung up
from limb on the bank of the
lake for the fishing privileges of
which be had contended with the
"night.riders.' The masked men
then stepped back and opened on
the swinging body, riddling it
with bullets. Leaving the corpse
of Captain Rankin hanging on the
bank of Reel Foot lake the
"night.riders" took Colonel Tay-
lor to another spot. Search near
Rankin's body has failed to reveal
trace of the murderers.--Union

Preachers Busy Day. A Curious Case Of

Reople who ought to know con

floods are partly the cause of the
bird famine.
Down at Smiths drug store
there is sweet potato that is q
perfect image of a snake coiled
back on itself. It is a very inter.

On the rear end of the Taft spe

and Cox. "There's three men,
three candidates. said a grimy
workingman, who had left his work

of the big man, "who Won't know
what hit 'em on the 3rd of Novem-
Der. I'm voting with the demo-
Gratis this year-frst time IN my
life."
A remarkable case cf restitution
came to light last week when
man paid $25 and interest to the
family of man whom he defraud-
ed. Six years ago a certain Lex
ington citizen whose name is
omitted, sold to well-known
man in Linwood, now deceased,
piece of real estate. The seller
wanted 1925 for it, and the buyer
offered 5000 even. That night
the man who owned the property
concocted a scheme to get the
1925. He told the purchaser next
morning that his wife wouldn't
sign the deed for less than $625,
and he got the amount. although
his wife never was told a thing
about it. Last week, six years
after, he went to the widow of the
man, paid her the $25 and inter-
est, saying he couldn't sleep good
with the thing on his mind.

The Salisbury schools are still
closed on account of scarlet fever.
The epidemic is of considerable
extent, but only one death has
occurred. There are no new cases
of fever or diptherla in Lexington
and the four sick with these dis
eases are getting we'll. People
are keeping their children out of
school, but there appears no rea-
son for fear that further cases
will develop.
The township road trustees are
making preparations fer doing'the
proposed macadam work on the
Salisbury road, beginning at or
near the David Sink line, below
town. It will give general sat-
isiaction if this piece of road is
macadamized, especially those
parts of it which have lately been
worked, for unless attended to
certain portions will be well nigh
impassable this winter.
