way to cure deafness. and that Is by cOnstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is causad by an In.
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling tound or imperfect hear

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norman
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh

AS man grows older his hing.
es creak, and his teeth fall out
and his eyes are weak; and he
has pains in his side and back,
and all his innards are ont OF
whack; his feet are cold-its a
bitter thing when a man grows
old. When a MAD grows old he
is prone to tell of the joyous days
wagged we'll; when he was
younger the skies were fair; and
peace and virtue were every
where, and maids were lovely
and men were bold; such dreams
will come as a man grows old!
AS man grows older he sighs
and croons of sweeter zephyrs
and brighter moons, of nobler
rivers and larger seas and finer
sunsets and higher trees; the
past has glories he'd fain unfold,
as man grows old, as a man
grows old! Oh, let him go on
his weary way, and tell the tale
of an ancient day! It's all that's
left when this life is sere, and
the wind is bleak and the night
is near! These tales and visions
SO often told, are all that's left
as man grows old!

Asheville at Johnson City, July 81
After winning three from Knoxville,
the Soldiers could not keep from TAX
ing this first game from Asheville.
Both sides were held down pretty well
until the third and fourth innings.
Our new man Brummerdof, was do
ing very well, but they seemed to be
hitting him some and so Lee was put
in and didn't allow single run. Part
of the Soldiers runs were on errors,
but they did great deal of good hit
ting, too. The mountaineers had two of
their men hurt and put out of the
game, but not seriously. They made
two runs in the third when Hobbs hit
safe and Bowers went to first on an
error Both were brought in by Sharp's
double. In the fourth Smith knocked
a three-bagger and came in when
Richards hit one for three bases Their
other run was made in the fifth when
McGeary made two base hit and
went to third by Peaster being hit
when first and second bases were full,
and scored when Brummerhof fumbled
Smiths grounder. The Soldiers made
four in the fourth, Shaw, Pitts, Burton
and Brummerhof scoring on hits by
Pitts, Brummerhof and Dubbs, and
errors by Smith, Richards, Bowers and
Sharp. One in the fifth on Scurry's
double and another in sixth on Taylor's
single We got four more in the sew
enth on singles by Taylor and Dubbs,
doubles by Shaw and Pitts and Bur-

again and did what we thought was
in him. The visitors first had Smith
in and then Mullen, but neither could
do much with our heavy batters. The

one in the second, Peaster first on field

In the eighth Sharp knocked a home

SUGGESTS THAT
D =MOCRArS GET
TOGETHER IN CONVENTION
Takes Issue With K. D. McKellar
and Makes Strong Plea for
Harmony on Broad Lines.

In response to a question by Her
aid reporter as to what he thought Of
the interview of Mr.. K. ID. McKellar,
given in Washington and published in
last weeks issue of this paper, and as
to Mr.. McKellar's suggestions that the
two Democratic committees should
select somebody who supported the
Independent ticket in August and vot-
ed for Taylor for Governor in Novem.
ber, and preferably man from Mid.
die Tennessee, Judge r. M. Barton,
one of the nomiRees of the Regular
Democrats for supreme judge at the
lst August election, but at present
residing and practicing law in Mem
phis, said
81 am personally out of politics, and
did not want to get in even to the ex-
tent of an interview, but while | think
Mr.. Mckellar's suggestion that the
democrats in this state get together is
wise, his suggestion as to how we shall
get together, and the terms on which
we shall get together, is so unwise that
! think an objection ought to be made
to it by some one; and am sure that
it was simply thoughtless, unconsid
cred expression by him, and one which
he really did not intend. But it is
certainly one that will be offensive TO
a great many democrats in this state,
and which, instead of tending To har-
mony, will have exactly the opposite
effect.
"Why should those who stood by
the regular party nominations last year
why should those who made that
very unfortunate and unpleasant race
because of their sense of fidelity to the
party be condemned and ostracised
Why should those who supported the
nominees of the regular organization
be excluded on account of their fidelity
to the party? 1t should be remember
three-fourths of the democrats who
voted in the August election voted the
regular ticket. The independent ticket
was elected by full republican vote,
in combination with, say, possibly
twenty or twenty-five per cent of the
democrats who voted But even if the
party had been divided in one-half,
there is no reason why one side or the
other should be reflected upon in any
scheme intended to promote harmony
or success in the party.
81 personally know that every man
who ran on the regular judicial ticket
last August had nothing to do with
the bringing about of the disruption in
the party, exceedingly regretted it,
and was willing to do anything and
everything that could be done to avoid
it. The practical split in the party
began with the movement of the indie
pendent ticket l mean the practical
split, so far as the mass of the voters
was concerned, and in the state at
large; and IL certainly would be an
unwise and very unjust thing to take
any action supposed to be in the inter
