Deafness Cannot be 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
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have. a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored 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 infiam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Langford died
at the home of her parents in the
mill village at Lexington Sunday

urday she was taken violently i'll and

little one was the pride of her pa
rents and her death has cast pail
of sorrow over the entire household.
Her remains were laid to rest in the

GRAFT CASES CONTINUED.
Judge Shipp Accedes to Motion Over
Lyons Protest.

Florence, June 29.-Nelson and
Gettys, of Columbia, attorneys for
H. L. Solomon and John Black, ap-
peared here to-day before Judge S.
W. G. Shipp, at chambers, and made
a motion for a continuance of the
graft cases that were to come up for
trial at the July term of court at
Chester next week.
Attorney General Lyon was on
hand and made a strenuous effort op-
posing the continuance. After full
hearing of the reasons for the mo-
ton, Judge Shipp granted the re-
quest on the ground that John Black
has just undergone serious opera
ton for appendicitis and will be con-
fined to the hospital probably for
several weeks, and the illness of P.
H. Nelson, one of the counsel in
terested.. The attorneys returned to
Columbia tonight.
Attorney General Lyon will not
join the campaign party tomorrow.
Attorney General Lyon returned
last night from Florence. He said
that he consented to the argument
before Judge Shipp for a continu-
ance of the graft trials for the rea-
son that he wished to know before
the trials whether or not continu'
ance would be granted. He was
ready with the case of the State.
Should the continuance have been
asked and granted on the first day
of court in Chester it would have
meant a loss of several hundred dol
lars to the State in bringing wit
nesses to South Carolina for the
trial. 1t was for this reason that
the attorney general consented to
the argument yesterday.
There were several affidavits pre-
sented before Judge Shipp at Flor
ence. Two affidavits were presented
relative to the physical condition Of
John Black, one of the defendants, Of
this city. The following is part Of
an affidavit by w. A. Lester: THAT
he diagnosed his trouble as hernia,
and advised Mr.. Black that an opera
ton was necessary and should be per-
formed as soon as possible. That un-
der his advice Mr.. Black was taken
to the Columbia hospital on Friday,
June 25th." 1t was also stated in
this affidavit that there was an op-
Grafton for appendicitis.
There was another affidavit from
DR.. LeGrand Guerry relative\ to the
operation. In the opinion of DR..
Guerry, John Black will have to re-
main at the hospital for at least three
weeks.-Columbia State.

r, JOHN w. DANIEL DEAD.
Distinguished Virginian Succumbs to
Paralytic Stroke.

Lynchburg, June 29.-John w.
Daniel, senior senator from Virginia
and for more than 80 years Vir-
ginia's favorite son, died at the
Lynchburg sanitarium at 1925
o'clock to-nigh" his death being due
to recurrence of paralysis. The i'm
mediate cause of death was GER
beral hemorrhage sustained at
noon to-day, involving the right side.
This is in addition to the paralysis
Of the left side which was sustained
last winter while in Florida for his
health.
His Illness.
The statesman's illness began
with a slight attack Of apoplexy IN
Philadelphia last October, and kept
him from reaching his seat at the
opening of congress last December.
Only once since that had he appear
ed before an audience and that was
for an informal talk in January. The
end was almost without a struggle.
Indeed the family present could not
notice the slight struggle which was
noticed by DR.. Waugh.
Dissolution was very rapid for
when the final and complete failure
of heart action began it progressed
rapidly and in five minutes the pa
tient was dead.
Those present at the end were:
Mrs. Daniel and daughter, Mrs. Har-
per, and son, Arther NJ. Daniel, Fred
Harper, Mrs. S. W. Hallsey, the only
sister Of the deceased, and her sons,
State Senator D. P. Hallsey and War
wick Hallsey, and DR.. Waugh.
Soon after the senator's death, the
widow and daughter were driven to
the latter's home.
Tonight the city fire alarm was
sounded for half an hour at intervals
Of 80 seconds, notifying the city OF
the statesman's death.
The sergeant-at-arms of the senate
was notified first of the death and
then the family sent numerous mes
sages, after which the members went
to their homes.
At midnight decision had been
reached by the family that the fu-
neral would be held Friday, al
though the hour had not been de-
cided upon
Aware of Condition.
No change was noted until nearly
noon. He had slept fairly well dur
ing the past night The family was
fully aware of his condition. At no
time had there been any hope of his
recovery.
Late in February Maj. Daniel ac-
companied by his nephew and secre-
tary, Warwick Daniel, went to Flor
ida in the hope that mild tempera-
ture there would be of great benefit
to him. No special point was named
as the destination, but he expected
to visit number of places. At Day.
tona he was stricken with paralysis
on March g. First, his son and Fred
Harper went to Daytona, taking DR..
E. A. Waugh with them, and on
March Is Mrs. Daniel and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Fred Harper, went to Day.
tona, remaining there with Maj.
Daniel until the morning of April
the 20, when the start was made for
Lynchburg. This trip was made over
the Florida East Coast and the
Southern railways in the private car
of President Finley of the Southern
railway. Upon his arrival here he
was taken to the sanitarium, where
he was under the care of DR.. Waugh
constantly until his death.

RAILROAD MAINTENANCE AND

Operating expenses are, broad ly speaking. divided into two parts: The cost of running the trains and the cost of maintaining the property The latter cost is the vital thing

FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG
Swimming In Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and Speared
by Filipinos.

Friday morning Fflipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. It was fully ten feet In length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored In the
stream were thronged with hundreds
Of Fflipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked In regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously In their statement to the ef-
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom Of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths Of
the stream and fash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change In the character
Of the water, this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenOme-
non for many PENNSYLVANIA Times.

Mr.. Taft's Mistake.

1t is very curious that the president
should have made the mistake of at
taching himself to the regulars, or
stand-patters, or whatever they may
be called. In his Akron speech Of
about five years ago he showed that
all his instincts were for political in
dependence. His campaign speeches
committed him to substantial tariff re-
duction-except on crockery, which is
made in Ohio.
He has said that he found Aldrich
and Cannon placed in power by the
Republican party, and he simply recog-
nized the existing situation. But AL
drlch was not established in power
By the party. Rhode Island put him
in the senate, and his personal influ-
ence did the rest. The Republican
party in a national sense did not put
Cannon in the chair; it was only the
Republican members of the house.
The president understood perfectly
that both Aldrich and Cannon were
strongly opposed to that tariff revision
which he SUPPORTED and which the
party platform promised.
He ought to have attached his ad-
ministration to party leaders who
were in accord with himself and the
platform.

of that curious phenomenon known as
"globular lightning" 1t is what is

as it persists for several seconds it is
obviously Of a totally different char
acter from any other form of light
ming. 1t is much less brilliant than
ordinary lightning, and its brightness
appears to be that Of iron at the red

1t is not, as some accounts might
lead one to infer, a solid missile, but
it is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by its own
gravity. sometimes rebounding after
