MONTAGUE DENIES BYRO'S CHARGE

out Tuesday a sharp reply to the
challenge issued by Speaker Byrd In
an address at Orange on Monday.
The statement follows:
II see by the papers that Hon. r.

lowing sta.ement:I challenge Mr.
Montague to deny that he was
present at a luncheon on the invi-
tation OF President Roosevelt, at
which time the method and the
price of his apostacy were discuss
ed
I'm reply | unhesitatingly state
that ! did take luncheon with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in May or there
abouts. 1903. The President did
then substantially say that he be-
ieved that a large element OF the
Democratic party in the South.
including myself, approved some OF
progressive policies; that he
desired above everything to see
a division among the Southern peo-
pie upon national questions, and he
then expressed a desire TO have
me act in sympathy with his views,
provided the Republican party took
progressive stand and nomina
ted a progressive candidate. My
prompt reply was that however
high my personal regard may have
been for Mr.. Roosevelt | could
not accept or entertain his sugges-
tion. There was not a word in the
conversation that was related In
any conceivable way with a ques-
ton of reward by political prefer
ment or otherwise.
II confidently submit to the peo-
pie OF Virginia that the whole IN
cldent, instead Of impeaching my
party loyalty, convincingly confirms
it-Mr. Byrd to the contrary not

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
