negro institution maintained by
Northern whites, three students were
burned to death and five seriously
injured in jumping from the second

Deafness Cannot he 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
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have 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
estored to it's 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

VIII Not Spend Much Time i'm the
Southern States.

New York, March 17-Commander
Robert E. Pcary has cut short his lee
ture tour in the South. The refusal
OF Governor Brown, Of Georgia, to
introduce him to an Atlanta audience
last night, his reference to The COM
mander in an interview as "fakir,"
and the small crowd that attended
the lecture, brought forth an an
nouncement from the Civic Forum in
New York, under whose auspices Mr..
Peary is lecturing, that his plans
have been changed.
The announcement says:
THE Civic Forum Lecture League
has found 1t advisable to cancel all
Of Commander Robert f.. Peary's
Southern lecture dates owing to the
desire on it's part to avoid any evi-
dence Of coldness toward Commander
Peary.
1.-The Civic Forum Lecture Bureau,
which object is educational. refuses
to allow Commander Peary to be
subjected to n liability of gratuitous
insult, such as was given in Atlanta
by Governor Brown. Of Georgia.

How to Grow Snap and Lima Beans

CIV. Il. NJ, in Progressive Farmer.
have always had snap beans ready
for use every day in the year. l plant
few rows, and as soon as they are
up plant more, and SO on till in the
climate of North Carolina 1t is too
late to plant more. The last
sowing Is made the first Of Septem-
Der. In some seasons a later sowing
may do well From the last sowing,
which | make the largest, get my
supply of winter snaps. The green
pods are gathered and put into strong
brine in stone jars, and weighted to
keep them under the brine. These
can be taken out in winter and soak
ed in fresh water over night and are
nearly as good as the fresh pods.
These beans do not need high fer
tilizatiOn with nitrogenous manures,
but are better with merely a little
nitrate Of soda to give an early start,
and mainly supplied with acid phos-
phate and potash. AS fast as the
pods are taken from planting, the
vines are turned under and the land
prepared for Z later crop Of some
sort, either late potatoes or cabbages.
On the heavily fertiliZed truck farms
where only one crop is grown from
the beans, the vines are plowed under
and the land leveled and left for the
volunteer crop Of crab grass for hay,
and two tons per acre Of hay better
than timothy is often made without
the sowing Of seed. TO get the earli
est beans, plant in North Carolina
early in April, earlier farther South.
There will, Of course, be some risk
OF frost, but If they escape this they
will be early, and If killed 1T is only
a few seed lost.

| Now near this place of Worship
There lived a sister Brown
Who by her splendid cooking,
! Had gained a great renown,
Her acknowledged chickens,
Her luscious cakes and pies,
OFT made this circuit rider
| Roll up his weeping eyes
And her delicious coffee,
On all the circuit round,
The preacher oft admitted,
Its like could not be found.
So when he preached a sermon
OF extra power and length
He liked at the Brown table,
| TO reSuscitate his strength.
But Sister Brown was Baptist,
The strongest in the land,
And oft reproved the Methodists
For changing Gods command.
She heard Brother .Jones's sermon,
And thought the sub bsect DER,
But asked him home to dinner,
AS she had done before.
| She ground her good brown coffee
| (The kettle steaming hot,)
| And put it at, not INTO,
| The famous coffee pot.
She poured Brother Jones a cup-full--
| ] think it was no sill
! "Why. sister, you've forgotten
| TO put your coffee I'M"
mo, no, Brother Jones, that's coffee,
| ground good supply,
And down by the kettle
| put 1t at-or near by;
by the logic Of your sermon,
(l thought 1t rather thin,)
If at or near means into,
/ put the coffee in.
Now If you will strictly promise
No more such stuff to teach,
Nor dodge Gods plain command

When you attempt to preach,
