BORN IN THIS STATE.
New Evidence Tending to Prove
South Cardinals Claim.

columbia Cor. News and Courler.)
While A. s. Salley, Jr., the secre-
tary Of the historical commission,
was filing some claims against the
State of South Carolina for services
rendered for supplies furnished by
individual citizens Of South Carolina
during the Revolution, he found a
very interesting appraisement of a
horse furnished for public use by
William Crawford, of Camden Dis
trict. The appraisers, who estimat-
ed the value Of the horse to have
been one hundred and fifty pounds
currency, were Robert Crawford and
MzSlrew Jackson. Their appraise-
VlsMht was sworn to before Robert
Montgomery, j. p, and was dated
December ~, 1888. At that time
Andrew Jackson was nearly seven
teen years old The signature is in
nearly the identical hand writing of
"Old Hickory" in his mature years.
Robert Crawford, his afIiant, was his
foster father and kinsman upon
whose plantation, in what was then
Camden District, but which later be-
came Lancaster District, Jackson was
born as has been repeatedly asserted
by himself and others. This is pos
sibly the first official paper that
Jackson put his hand to in this Sta te

Army Adopts New Machine Gun,

A Washington dispatch says: The
army has just adopted a new type of
machine gun that has some remarka-
Bile points of advantage over the ex-
listing guns. The new weapon Is SO
small that 1t can be carried by man
or two with full equipment of stands
and ammunition, or can be packed
upon a mule. Moreover, it has the
important advantage that it can be
fired from the shoulder, and conse-
quently Is much less subject to at
tack and capture by the enemy. The
ammunition Is carried on steel strips
and the new gun Is said to be free
from danger of choking, while the
barrels are carried in duplicate and
can be almost instantly changed
when they become heated from rapid
firing.

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
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the eustachian tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, 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 capnot be cured by

Facts About Faster Dates.

Easter falling on so early q date
this year, makes some Easter stats
tics interesting.
The earliest date on which Easter
can fall Is March 90. The moon
must then be full on March 81, and
that date must be Saturday. Such a
combination OF circumstances Is ex-
tremely rare. Easter Sunday has
fallen as early as March 90 in 1903,
in 1761 and In 1917, and 1t will fall
on March 22 again in 1890, 2O7G
and 2144.
The latest date on which Easter
can fall is April 25. That happened
in 1866, in 1880 and in 1886. 1t
will happen again in 1913. This
year it falls on March 9th.
