DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition of
the mucous lining Of che Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when It Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness IL the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition oi
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 cir
culars free.

The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1910-04-20

A subscriber called at our Office a
.tday or two ago and ordered his paper
stopped because he found ''big red
cross" on it last week, notifying him
that his subscription had expired. 1t
has been our cas:o-n for many years
todo this, aud since tie new law went
into effect prohibiting publishers from
mailing papers to subscribers who are
in arrears for more than one year, we
are more particular than ever. Had
we failed to notify this subscriber that
his time was about to expire and
stopped his paper, it goes without
saying that he would have become
equally as enraged. No subscriber
has right to get mad because he re-
ceiyes red cross on his paper; we
are bound to abide by, and adhere to,
the postal laws, and this is the easiest
and quickest way to remind a sub
scriber that his time is out. Happily
The Dispatch has but few subscriber
r. who become angered at the 'big red
., cross"

We print an interesting communica

We print an interesting communica-
tion from our old friend, Col. d. j.
knotts, in this issue. Col. Knotts is
thoroughly familiar with present con-
d,t;cns and what he has to say will
prove most interesting to all of our
readers. His idea of freeing the
bridges is indeed a most plausible one,
and we see 10 reason why it should
not be adopted. Everybody knows
that Lexington is the bet county in
the State without exception, and the
day is past for dragging along just
any old fashion. Some steps should
be taken at once to check the fever Of
unrest among the people of Brookiand
and lower Fork. We agree with Col.
Knots that the matter has been al
lowed to stand too long now; but it is
better to start late t. an never. We
are just as able and just as capable of
taking care of these peoples interests
as is Richland and we are going to do
it-and do it now.

outcome Of the new form of govern
ment with increased interest.
But, after all, the success OF the
city will depend largely upon its
police department, and right at this
stage of the game we want to say
that the new officials, whoever they
may be, can do no bettersact than to
retain Chief Cathcart in his present
position. True, he may have won the
enmity of many of his continued and
persistent efforts to enforce the city's
laws, but any man who tries to do his
duty in this particular, like he and his
co-officials and able police force, will,
inquest stionably, have the i'll will OF
law-breakers. There is no more high
toned gentleman anywhere than Capt.
Clint Cathcart. He is gentle, yet de-
termined and brave, and knows no
man or set of men in the discharge OF
his official duties, and this is the kind
of man city like Columbia needs at
the head of it's police department.

sc no reason why they all should not

NEGRO Terriies Community.

A crazy negro, whose lCenGlCy IS
mystery, terrified the entire communi-
ty few miles north of Lexington last
week, and for several days the situa-
tion was intense. Appearing at first
one house and then another, the negro
would ask for something to eat and at
the same time request that he be allow
ed to cut and bring in wood in COM
pensation for it. In nearly every in
stance he would scare some of the
wome4 folk by his strange actions.
On Wednesday the unknown negro
was hunted for all day long by large
posse headed by Sheriff Corley and
Deputy Sheriff Miller, both of whom
have the reputation Of being expert
man-hunters, but in this instance they
were baffled by the cunning of the
crazy man. All day long they hunted,
at times being within few hundred
yards of the man and at no time not
over fifteen or twenty minutes behind
him. Finally the chase was abandon
ed, and everybody returned to their
homes. Late in the evening, however,
the negro showed up at the home of
Mr.. Isaiah Lindler. about five miles
from Lexington. He was allowed to
spend the night thele and all next day.
On Friday morning the officers were
notified by phone that the unknown
negro was on hand, and they made
for the scene at once. The negro was
brought to Jail, where he was kept un
til Monday when he was taken to the
hospital for the insane.
Where the negro came from or what
his name is seems to be q mystery as
deepsas the ocean. He could not give
any satisfactory statement as to his
name or anything that would lead to
his identity.
The people of the community, how
ever, are very much elated over the
fact that the man has been captured
and placed where he can do no fur
ther harm.

feel proud of the strides we are max
ing. Let everybody put their shoul-
