Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, rs 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 inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumblinS sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t Is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammatiOn can be taken out and
this tube restored to It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which Is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

Mr.. Taft In South CaiWinu.
Columbia State. 7thD


Yesterday President Taft was well
coined as the guest of one section OF
South Carolina, and tomorrow he
Will be the guest OF another section
of this State. Mr.. Taft came and
comes into this State not as the
head of his party-at least this is the
pretty theory we cherish; but as the
President of the United States, for
the period of his incumbency OF
once, bipartisan, unpolitical-the
Chief Executive of his people.
1t is pleasing to be able to con-
slider in this light the visit Of the
President. We like to withdraw our
selves from the garish day OF poll
tics. and welcome as our guest and
as our friend the man whom the
majority Of the voters placed in the
most exalted seat of our government
For the hOur-for the day-at least
Mr.. Taft Is not a Republican, not an
apologist for the myth of lewiston
downward; but the head Of the
Federal government, the representa-
tive OF our country.
We scorn-at least sor the mo-
ment-the notion that Mr.. Taft, as
the head of his party, fH here with
the view of splitting the solid South
and carrying some of the slivers into
the Republican camp. Such work
we shall fancy, has been reserved for
another occasion, an occasion on
which the purposes shall be openly
acknowledged, the fighting square
and fair. This time we meet as
hosts and guests--and nothing else
Such, we believe, is the spirit in
which Mr.. Taft visits this State and
other States Of the South. He wishes
to get into touch with every section
OF the Union; he wishes to see and
to know something of the people and
conditions and potentialities: and
the only way in which such things
are achieved is in personal contact
The South will benefit. we believe,
by this tour of President Taft, for he
cannot have failed to learn more
about its conditions, its needs. its
spirit, and its attitude with respect
to Federal affairs.
we do not see many Presidents ::
Republican States are quite remote,
and the salary OF our Chief EXecu-
ives has been to restricted to per-
NIT OF long tours in "the encmy's
| country even for the purpose of
| making cleavage of the territory.
! we are all the more delighted
! therefore, when one OF them comes
among us-genial, affable. smiling
fronting the world with the grin
| OF the cheerful soldier. Somehow
ana it might be difficult to explain
we feel that we are somewhat closer
| TO the Inion--regardleSS OF politics
and tariff revision than ever we've
| been before.
And, If we look at this visit OF
Mr.. Tafts in this light-while wei.
coming him as our guest and the
guest of the State and of the section
we find at once that 1t assumes
a new interest and significance. We
rejoice that the people welcome hin
that they applaud his patriotic ut
terances, that they look upon hin
as the highest official in our common
| government. The traditional hospi
tality Of South Carolina was no
strained; but it has been found, ant
will always be found, equal to ever,
demand upon 1t. Mr.. Taft must re
alize clearly that We are in the Tn
ion and with nothing to he ASHAMED
of in our career.
