Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion
Ct the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf.
ness is caused by al inflamed con.

Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inhamed you have a rumb.
ling 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 restored to its nor

stroyed forever; nine cases out of

DURHAM HAS SPLENDID LAW,
Greatly Blessed but to PerYerse to Appre-
Clate II. May ii Become Statewide.

clate il. May il Become Statewide.
The recent decision of the su-
preme Court in regard to whiskey
clubs, the modern term for our
non-license paying saloons, does
not lljure Durham, hence shs is
rolling her eyes about awaiting a
practical idea to fit across her
mind that will put her on a foot.
Ing with Charlotte and Salisbury.
The Herald laments as follows:
"That Durham has statutory
enactment against the kind OF
juggling with prohibition that has
put Charlotte 80 effectively before
the world the past several days by
reason of a supreme court decis-
ion wonderfully comforting to the
anti-prohibltio-.ists, appears to be
the belief of not few lawyers and
laymen who have dug up that To-
cal law.
When Judge ]. Crawford Biggs
was in the general assembly, he
introduced and carried through
the body of which he was mem
ber, the following enactment:
THAT every person who shall di-
rectly Or Indirectly keep or main
tain by himself or by associating
with others, or who shall in any
manner aid, assist or abet in keep
ing or maintaining a club room or
,ther place where Intoxicating liz
quors are received or kept for bar
ser or sale or for distribution or
for division among the members
of any club or association by any
means, whatever, shall be guilty
OF a misdemeanor."
The expressions in the papers
have been variedly interesting and
csustlc, some of them having ov-
erruled the supreme court and
pronounced it terrific assault
upon state prohibition. Papers
known to be hostile to state pro.
hibitlon have concluded that it
deals the knockout blow and have
said 30 in their headlines. The
pap3rs dedicated to the cause of
state wide prohibition have re-
garded it just as strongly against
temperance as those who fought
the bill 50 hard and the common
understanding Is that the supreme
court has not helped prohibition,
1t has an important bearing
upon the coming general assembly.
That there will be move to re.
open the prohibition question is
pretty generally talked. A few
days ago two we'll to do saloon
men passing through the city ask.
ed: "How about the next legis-
lature? Pretty damned dry amt
it? What's the chance to get any
thing from them? How is Dur
ham7 Wet as hell aint it?" and
kindered questions. They had
been to Raleigh They admitted
having been there to look over
things"
We apologize to our readers for
publishing the last paragraph, but
hope shat in doing so it will serve
to remind good people what man
ner of men are seeking to restore
the open saloon in North Carroll
ma. and when advocating any s,
tenn to sell liqnor just what fine
lot of vulgarlans would be put in
business, should the whlskey i'll.
terests succeed. With such men
licensed to sell whiskey it is man-
lfest to all thinking people that 1t
would have very hurtful effect
upon morality and good citizen
