a Serious Condition.

The farmers are confronted by a
serious condition. The mill men
claim that there is great surplus of
manufactured goods On hand in their
warehouses, in spite of the conten-
ton that there is shortage in last
years cotton crop of over two million
bales and that they are losing money
every day they run. The farmers
claim that cotton cannot be grown
with profit for less than ten cents the
pound. For once the law of supply
and demand seems to be exploded.
The farmers are their own advisers,
but this state of affairs is unnatural
and unwarranted in an era of great
prosperity, and the consequences will
be disastrous to the agricultural in
terests unless the farms are made
self-sustaining and Independent of
panics and spectators. .-Newberry

Deafness Cannet 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 inf1amed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumhling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely 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 caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
1nfamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

A Word About the Newspaper.

Price Advocate: There seems to be preva.
lent the idea that newspapers expect every one
OF their readers to coincide with every opinion
expressed by the paper No newspaper man
with thimble full OF brains expects all his
opinions to be approved by everybody. At the
same time a newspaper without opinions is like
vegetables without salt and not performing its
duty to the public 1t serves. Its opinions may
not meet the approval Of all, but they tend to
stimulate discussion and direct thoughts In
profitable channels and provoke investigation.
No newspapers opinions can always be right,
but II the paper Is worthy Of support they will
be honestly expressed with ever the thought In
mind that they will soon be In cold type and
will always 50 remain and cannot be denied.
This at least entities them to fair and reason.
able consideration.
