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 innamed you have a
rumh'inS sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
d1tion, 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.
We will give one hundred dollars
FOR any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

Johnson City, Tenn, arrived in
Spartanburg tonight at $50 o'clock,
bringing 500 people from points
along the line of the road for the
big celebration to be held here to-
morrow. AS the train pulled into
the station with Mayor Floyd footing
the whistle a mighty shout arose
from the throats of 1000 people
who had gathered at the station to
welcome the visitors from over the
mountains. G. Norment Powell,
general counsel Of the road, was the
only official to arrive on the special.
President G. l.. Carter and the other

morning, their car having been left
at Broad River trestle in order that
they might inspect the work and the
road-bed between here and that
point by day.
Mayor Floyd and two police Off
GERS walked out several miles along
the track early tonight and awaited
the arrival Of the train and mounted
the cab Of the engine, and just as
the train was pulling into the city
limits the mayor caught hold Of the

and just as the engine was about to
pull under the car shed he opened
the whistle valve and kept it open
for several minutes. When the train
came to a stop hundreds and hum
dreds of citizens crowded about the

regarding this feature of the disease
Is that the negroes, who seem to be
more generally infected with the
h""kworm, suffer three times the
mortality from tuberculosis that the
whites do.
DR.. Weston, who has made an ex-
tended study of the disease, has
found that thymol, the active nrinci-
pie of thyme, followed by salts, is
the best remedy for the disease, and
he has achieved some most satsfac-
tory cures. This treatment, widely
applied, together with generally bet
ter sanitation, may be expected 20 do
much in relief of the suffering of the
South.

FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE EAST
"STAR OF BETHLEHEM SHINES TODAY

The heavens declare the glory of
God, and the armament showeth
his andiwork.--Psalm, xix, 1.
For the third time since the dawn
OF the Christian era-the first
Christmas, in fact-the holy star of
Bethlehem shone on the world this
Christmas eve.
The star that shone in the east
and guided the wise men to the
babe in the manger, bringing with
them gifts. was Halley's comet,
which is now sweeping the sky in
this year of the Lord. 1909. For
Halley's comet, as it is now known
to the astronomers, calculations
prove, was the star of Bethlehem.
The bible tells us of its first APP
pearance--its first recorded appear
ance-and describes its remarkable
brightness Astronomers have fig
FRED out that this was the same
comet discovered by Edmund Hal
ley. the British astronomer, and
named for him. Now ii is shining
On its twenty-fifth appearance to
people on the earth.
Wherefore, wrote HALEY be-
fore his death, "if according to what
has been already said the comet
should return again about the year
1858, candid posterity will not re-
fuse to acknowledge that this was
first discovered by an Englishman.
And with HALEY in his grave, the
comet shone on Christmas day,
1853 Today it shines for the third
time on Christmas.
All classes of people once viewed
the approach of the comet with
alarm. 1t was considered the worst
of omens. Thrones have tottered
and armies have been routed as Il
result of the comets coming.
But it was not the comet that
did it. 1t was the natural fear in
the people.
The comet of A. ID. 1000 was sup
rosed to indicate the end of the
world In. 1928 a comet caused so
much fear that people fell sick and
died from no other cause.

No one who is now living will

Very few people living today will
ever see it at all after this holiday
season. For it is not due to shine
in the sky again until 1885. Even
now it cannet be seen without the

Thus this Christmas is made

When it appeared in 1880 British

time it is seen on earth its tail is
shorter. The meteors that descend
in its path are parts of the tail. In
