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 rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
hamed condition of the muScous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is intlamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an inilamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrhl that cannot be cured by Hall s
Catarrh Cure. Send for Circulars

Gray Court, Jan. i6th.-Last night
at 12:lo o'clock, a store, one residence

lima railway station were completely
destoyed at Barksdale station, three
miles southeast of this place. 1t is
positive that the fire originated in the

to the residence of Mr.. Il. II. Power,
and thence to the station.

was agent for the railroad and all
the tickets records and papers were
burned. The residence occupied by
Mr. Power was owned by Mrs. f.. G..

insurance, the amount of $1,000. On
the station there was insurance to
the amount of $500 Mr.. Powers
household goods were badly damaged
in removing them from the burning
building. The loss to Putnam & Put

on both building and goods, and so
FAR as is known there was no insur-
ance.

with his family when the fire occurred
There was a number of bales OF

Capt. r. l.. Shuler's Can
d1dacy Eedorsed by
Hg his HOme-FOlk.

The people Of Brooklapd desire to
thank the voters of the county for the
splendid support given Capt. R. L..
Shuler of our town on August 80, in
which election he lacked only "a
votes of being elected.
Capt. Shuler's high moral character,
his temperate habits, his educational
qualifications, his -mindedness,
all vie to make him worthy repre-
sentative from our county. Two
years ago with two competitors
from New Brookland Capt. Shuler
lead the ticket by handsome
majority. This year, with one other
Brookland man in the race, Capt.
Shuler received 344 votes out of q total
of about 400. This proves conclusively
that Capt. Shuler is the choice OF this
section for representative, and, since
other sections have already been given
representation, we think it just and
wise to give the other representative
to this section.
By vote of the people a free
bridge has been assured, would it not
be iminently fitting to let a man from
this section champion this measure in
the House And wouldn't the conf
dence of our people in the proposed
plan be strengthened by Capt.
Shuler's election
For the above, as we'll as other rea-
sons, we ask for Capt. R. L. Shuler
favorable consideration by the voters
of the county on September 18th.

Brave, generous and manly, he was
one of natures noblemen in its truest
sense. His friends and friendships
were sacred to him.
II is sad at any time to stand beside
the bed Of the dying and watch life's
ebbing tide drifting the loved one
slowly, perhaps, but surely into the
great ocean of eternity, but it is Pc
culiarly sad to witness the passing of
one so young and full of promise as J.
B. Rhude Meetze. Truly, Gods ways
are mysterious!
Besides his wife and little son he is
survived by two brothers and six Sis
ters as follows: Thomas P. Meetze,
of Lexington; W. B. Meetze, of Cab
bottsville, Ga; Mrs John Wilson But
Ter and Mrs. Frank George, of Lex
ington; Mrs. julie A. Krentzlen, of
Washington, D. O.; Mrs. Chas. B.
Harman, of Augusta; Mrs. W. H.
Wolfe and Mrs. Lila Hendrix, of Co.
lumbia.
His remains were laid to rest in St.
Stephen's cemetery this morning at
10 O'Clock with funeral services con-
Quoted from the church by the Rev.
T. S. Brown.
To the broken-hearted wife, little
son and brothers and sisters. who sit
in sorrow where his footsteps shall
never again find echo, we extend the
sympathy of one who loved him as a
brother.

j. B. Rhude MeetZe
Has Passed Away.

Like a thunder-clap from cloud
less sky came the announcement OF
the death of Mr.. J. B. Rhude Meetze.
On Monday night, as the hands 0f the
clock were pointing toward half past
eleven O'Clock, surrounded by friends
and loved ones in his home at 1901
Bull street, Columbia, the Grim Reap
er came. For several days he had
fought the great monster, but to no
avail. About three weeks ago be was
taken i'll with typhoid fever and was
doing we'll until last Friday when he
contracted pneumonia. He gradually
grew worse inspite of the heroic ef-
forts Of the most skilled physicians,
and the end came as sweet relief to
his terrible sufferings.
He was the youngest son OF the late
John H. Meetze, of our town, and was
only 81 years of age. Five years ago
he gave up his position with the firm
of Meetze & Son to become travelling
salesman for the Armour Packing Co.,
of Columbia. He was continued IN
this position up to about six months
ago, being considered one of the best
salesmen in the employ of the compa-
nv. when he was promoted to the i'm
portant and responsible position of
general manager Of the Armour Office
in Columbia, and was rapidly rising
when he was stricken down..
Four years ago he was married to
Miss Fannie Oswald, of Barr, one OF
the most popular young women IN the
county, who, with one son, survive.

Negro Shoots Negro.

Richard Thompson, a negro, was
shot by Luke Tucker, another negro,
Jones Chapel, negro church, near
the Hon. D. F. Efrd's, on Sunday
night, while meeting was in progress.
The ball, % calibre, entered the
chest just above the heart, and the ex-
tent of the injuries cannot, as yet, be
determined, according to the state
mentof the attending physician, DR..
E. p. Derrick. Tucker, it is said,
claims that he shot in self defence,
but others assert that it was entirely
unprovoked. Deputy Sheriff Miller
was notified of the shooting, and in
less than an hour had Tucker arrested.
Tucker is in jail awaiting further de-
velopments.
