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
in1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation 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 in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

DIES UNDER TROLLEY CAR.
Lad Killed While Carrying Letter to
Santa Claus to Mail Box.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE body OF
frail little fellow, apparently about
ten years old, lies in police station
here to-day awaiting Identification.
He met death last night under the
trucks of a trolley car near the
branch postofice in Third avenue,
near Fifty-second street, while on
his way to mail letter to Santa
Claus
AS he breathed his last under the
wheels, his hand stretched forth and
the pitiful letter was seen by the
crowd. A bystander seized it and it
was dropped in the postofice before
the boy expired. He ran directly in
front of the car, evidently wrSpt in
thought about his letter.
The motorman was held on tech
nical charge of homicide. No one in
the neighborhood seemed to know
who the child was but he probably
will be identified today.

DIR Pattison Displeased and Demands
Another Examination of his Books.
The reported shortages of Treas
urers Pattison, of Edgefield, and J.
G. Langford, of Hampton county, has
caused considerable comment and
discussion. Several reports of this
kind have from time to time been
filed with the general assembly by
the present comptroller general, Mr..
A. w. Jones, and this one was con-
sidered the most interesting of any.
The State has received from it's
Edgefeld correspondent copy of an
official letter to Gov. Ansel, a letter
of but about four or five lines, in
which DR.. J. T. Pattison, treasurer,
respectfully demands of Gov. Ansel
an investigation of his affairs by
some other accountant than Eugene
B. Wilson. The letter, which was CIV
en- out for publication, is very caus-
tic in it's references to Mr.. Will
son.
Comptroller General Jones was
Informed of the contents of the let
ter. GAS to the part personal to Mr..
Wilson I have nothing to say" was
his comment. ''But I will say that
the report is correct in every parti-
cular, and DR.. Pattison ought to go
slow in his remarks. Mr.. Wilson

office, assisted him for two weeks.

general. He came here from George

years in which he has served in the
State house he has checked up a

baugh is now said to be in York, hav-
ing left his wife and several chill
dren, including daughter about 1S

One of the highest and best enjoy
ments comes through what is done for
others This is believed in theoreti-
cally, but seldom practically. If a man
has money, he imagines that the way
to enjoy it is either to keep and aCcu-
mulate it or to spend IL on personal
qualification; yet he misses the very
finest of its delights when he refuses
to share it or its benefits with others.
So with our time, our talents and our
thoughts-kept to ourselves, or used
simply for our own delectation, they
do not give us 1.-THE of the real en-
joyment that they afford when We use
them literally for the benefit of the

gent, ever again relapse into a purely

A woman who was perfectly we'll,
but fancied she was suffering from
fever, called on an old and eXper-
fenced physician to consult him. She
described her symptoms at some
length, and he listened patiently. AT
last he said: Il think | understand
your case, madam. Sit perfectly still
a few moments and let me look at
you" She complied and he eyed her
attentively for nearly a minute, glanc-
ing at his watch once or twice in the
meantime. There is nothing the mat
ter with you, madam" he said You
haven't the slightest indication OF
fever. Your heart beat is perfectly
normal" why, how do you know,
doctor?" she asked in surprise. You
didn't feel my pulse" Il didn't
need to-" he answered. Il counted the
vibrations of the ostrich feather on
your hat" And he bowed her out.

WHAT FOLK CONSUME.
Business Always Regulated by the
Wants of the People.

1t is an established principle that
the consuming capacity of the people
averages just so much year after year,
and fiuctuates according to business
and financial conditions. AS new
things are brought into use, perhaps
the per capita expense of living in
creases and becomes adjusted 70
changed conditions. Then it is rea-
sonable to believe that so far as the
consuming capacity of the United
States is concerned it will grow
according to the increase in popula-
ton, and the educated tastes Of the
people.
Whether conditions that have been
found practical and afford an equitable
compensation to all engaged in trade
are to be continued, or whether the
tradesman known as the retailer is
to be cut out of the game and the
people supplied directly through the
manufacturer and his direct represen-
tative is an important question. One
of the systems that is far reaching in
it's baneful effects is the mail-order
system. About so per cent. of the
people of the United States live in
agricultural sections. 1t is from these
agricultural districts that the mail
order houses draw the trade, not from
the cities. The question is whether
it is best for the masses that these
mammoth houses in the large cities
drive the small merchants out of busi-
ness or not? Is it to the advantage
of the manufacturers and the jobbers
| that the large houses continue to
grow? The existence Of these houses
has nothing to do with the consuming
power of the people. Their existence
does not increase trade an iota Why,
then, should the people patronize
them, and why should manufacturers
and jobbers give them support by
supplying them with goods? 1t may
be that a charge of discrimination
would be made against concerns that re-
fused to sell. The catalogue house
should not have any advantage over
the dealer in the small town, and soon
the masses would discover that there
was nothing to be gained by patroniz'
| ing the distant houses.

The entire interior of the building
is a smoldering heap of ruins and how
many dead are concealed by the debris
can only be conjectured. The hotel

there are no accurate means of de-

The hotel was erected half a CEN

as tinder. 1t burned like matchwood
and within few minutes from the
time the fire was discovered the whole
interior Of the hotel was a mass of
flames.
The fire department rescued many
