DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they canne' 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 ming of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in' flammation can be taken cut and this tube restored to its normal con. dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caus' ca by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflame dcondition of the mu. cous surfaces.

Abolish the Internal Revenue
Department

When the income tax begins to oper-
ate in these United States 1T will be a
very good time to get rid of that old
time war iniquity known as the inter
nal revenue system.
1t was put in operation as a war meas
ure to raise money for the equipment Of
federal troops in the early sixties.
Many bonds were issued by the federal
government, but they sold so low that
something else was hunted for to raise
the revenues Of the United States in the
struggle to coerce the seeding states.
So liquor and tobacco were selected as
the two things that mans appetite de-
manded. The schemers well understood
that man addicted to the use Of either
would sell the shirt from his back to
get his dram or his guild.
To make the returns great. the gov
eminent entered into co-partnershIp
with the manufacturers of liquor, and
although every advantage was given to
the distiller, yet the profits were so enor-
nous and the revenues so satisfying, the
government has never been willing to
let go, so We have been subjected to 4
war tax for more than 40 years OF
peace since this war tax was laid on
the people OF the United States.
The co-partnership has been popular
with liquor dealers, and although the
government gets much less (as operating
expenses have increased), the profit 10
the liquor men has been Overwhelming.
This liquor trust is strong enough to
dictate terms to the politicians of this
entire country. 1t has paid in large
sums to campaign funds. 1t is able to
elect men in the districts, as well as to
buy votes in Washington city. 1t is a
giant octopus, and never hesitates to
clutch at power by the use OF money in
elections.
In years gone by. 1 remember when
two Georgia legislatures demanded the
repeal of the statute and the adjustment
of the internal revenue system, but
when the next congress assembled there
was nothing doing. The system paid
its men so we'll that every effort to call
down the tyrant failed TO materialize,
and the advocates of the system were
brazen enough to call the system tenn
perance measure!
We have heard a whole lot about Pacl-
fic mail subsidies, about false Weighing
in postal contracts, and nearly every
congressman has taken a running start
to butt against tariff iniquittes. bur
the LIQUOR trust defies the whole layout,
and we hear less than nothing concern
ing this tyrannical, unjust and unfair
method of coming fortunes by the
manufacture Of intoxicants.
The time has now come to call an
income tax for revenue from the bloat-
ed fortunes of these liquor advocates.
and unless everything and everybody
falls down helpless at the feet OF these
powerful opponents of predatory Weal1h,
there is Obliged to be a reform called
for in this direction before long.
Where is the patriot with grit enough
in his craw 10 call for present abolish
nent of this cancer blight on the peace
and happiness of the American people?
We all know II has been a terrible
curse-who has nerve enough to say
Drive it out; deliver this country from
the deadly cancer?'

Compulsory Education

I sat in the gallery of the house OF
ranresentatiyes a few days ago and lis-
tened TO some TRADES against compelling
parents and guardians to send their chill
dren to the free public schools was
simply disguised with the demagogery
of those who fought the bill to compel
Indifferent parents to school their own
little children, and this opposition came
frhn those who represented or claimed
70 represent the people of Georgia, and
We have been heavily taxed ever since
the civil war TO furnish teachers and
school houses for those who claimed TO
he too Door to school their own children.
This tax money is drawn out all right;
II is paid out TO teachers and so per cent
of the children of school age do not go to
school.
Whyf
Because their ignorant parents are too
Indifferent to this great opportunity to
send their children to the teachers who
are paid by the state, and thus the tax
money is dribbled out and wasted.
There is no let up on those who ara
taxed to raise this enormous sum OF
money to pay teachers That tax money
: must come live or die, and the sherin
can sell the taxpayers property to get
this school tax as they raise other taxes
from delinquent taxpayers
But the very people who are to enjoy
the benefit of this tax money and whose
children need education, which these
parents are unwilling or unable to pay
for, are the very people who connive to-
gether to prevent the state from enforc-
ing compulsory attendance.
There seems to be no hitch about COM
pulsory taxation. That is obliged to
come, but the schools are crippled and
this tax money is largely wasted be-
cause Indifferent parents keep the schol-
ars awsy.
1t is Just like building q big cotton
mill with expensive machinery and then
refusing to buy any cotton TO manufac-
ture into thread and cloth
What a lunatic would such q fool cot
ton mill builder seem and estimated to
be?
We have the schools, we employ the
teachers by the thousand. and yet 80 per
cent of these needy children are kept
away by their silly parents.
say, right here, that there ought to
be a law passed right away to withdraw
all schools from all sections, where
representative had the gall to rise up TO
vote down this compulsory attendance
bill. Nothing will teach such people any
thing except sore experience And 1t was
white men who did this voting, and yet
there is more money placed in Georgia
to give higher education to negro boys
and girls than the state is able to raise
to educate poor white children!
1 also say that no authority Is just
which can run its hand into your pocket
to get money to educate my children
which cannot compel me to send my chill
dren to school. so that your money shall
not be worse than wasted.
We seem to be afflicted with ignorance
even in the legislature.

How the Cotton Crop Looks
tn Me

We have had a serious struggle with
rain, with crab grass and may-pop vines
this year, out 1 am satisfied the cot
ton crop will be better one than in the
year 1909 because the farmers were able
to plow the land in the spring and we'll
plowed land will always have something
to report-wet or dry.
Where fertilizers were applied gener-
ously at planting time, there is going TO
be stalk enough to hold crop or
squares and bolls, but where the short
sighted farmer has skimped on guano
he is left, and that beyond measure.
1 know of a case Of this kind where
the fertilizer was held back for some
silly reason. and both tenant and land
lord are face to face with heavy deficit
in a cotton crop.
This Is one year where fertilizers were
absolutely necessary to give the weed a
start and to overcome the cold rainy
