There is only one way 10 cure deaf

this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when IT is entirely closed, deaf
ness is tn eresult. and unless the in

1t has been stated that Mr. W A
Fitch won one prize at the corn ex-
position in Columbia. This is an er-
ror. He secured two prizes and they
have been delivered TO him. His ex-
hibits took first prize for Williams
burg county and third prize for the
Sixth Congressional district. The
exhibits have been returned to him
with the white and blue ribbons still
attached, and the prize money has
been paid. The writer has examined
the score cards attached to the ex-
hibits. The single ear variety, which
stood first for the county, scored "a.
points, and the prolific, which carried
off the third honors for the district,
scored 72 points. There were four
or five exhibits from this county.
Another thing in connection with
Mr. Fitch's corn worth mentioning is
the fact that on 24 acres of the pro,
life he made $50 bushels. This is
18TH bushels to the acre. Mr. Fitch

A $4,000 FIRE
ON MAIN Street,
STORE AND STOCK OF L.D.RODG'
ERS & co. DESTROYED-.EF.
FECTIVE FIRE FIGHTERS.

Saturday at mi !day the alarm of
fire resounded through the town and
a volume of smoke belched forth
from the store occupied by L d
Rodgers & Co, on Main street. In a
very short time the two new chemi-
cal engines were hurried to the
scene, holding the fiery monster in
check until the old reliable, Our
Pet" could be unliElbered and
brought into action. For some time
it was nip and tuck between the
two forces and hundreds of people
looked on with bated breath expect
ing to see this whole street OF fine
new mercantile buildings reduced
to ashes. But by the heroic work OF
the gallant fire laddies under the
leadership of Chief M H Jacobs and
a dozen or more lieutenants, the
flames were reduced and gradually
subdued. "Our Pet" responded
nobly to the demands upon her
and propelled by brawny hands OF
volunteer fremen, the stream pro-
pelled would have done credit to that
thrown by big steamer of a
city's fire department.
The wisdom of digging tEe large
reservoir was strikingly s2own, fol
had the water failed a. a critical
time, the fire would have gained the
mastery and there is no telling what
damage might have resulted.
The fire department deserve:
great praise for its splendid work ane
the colored people, too, worked like
Trojans pumping the water into the
hose: much commendation is du'
them for their effective aid to th'
fire department.
The fire started in the store of
D Rodgers & Co. Mr. Rodgers, it i:
said, was showing some fireworks
to a customer when by some means
a fire-cracker ignited and exploded
setting fire to many others. Before
anything could be done the store
was in a light blaze. Mr. Rodgers
stock, valued at $4,000, was almost
entirely destroyed, with only 81,
insurance. The store, which belongs
to the estate of w J Singletary and
was valued at $4,000, while badly
damaged, is amply protected by the
So, 500 insurance carried. Every one
sympathizes with Mr. Rodgers, who
is the heaviest loser. To a young
man Just establishing himself in bus
iness the loss falls heavily indeed
but, with energy and industry ano
a good reputation as assets that can
not be destroyed by fire, those who
know him feel sure that he will soor
overcome this temporary back-set
and recoup his loss.
1t was dangerous fire and while
bad enough as it is, the town is to bt
congratulated upon its narrow es,
cane from a disastrous conflagration
