DeafDeSS Cannot be Cured

bv 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
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for,
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces. 49,,

AN HISTORIC SECTION.
Something About One OF the Gar
den Spots Of Williamsburg.

den Spots Of Williamsburg.
Editor County Record
As we never see anything in print
from this section | would like to
send you few dots occasionally, if
acceptable. We are situated so far
from the railroad that our section is
rot so we'll known as it should be, so
that it may not be amiss to state that
Rheims postoffice is situated be-
tween Black river and Black Mingo
creek, in the eastern part of Will
liamsburg, near the Georgetown
line.
This section has record second to
none in the annals of the past, hav-
ing contributed a liberal share tow
ards making history in the lower
section of the county away back to
colonial days. Near here may be
seen the remains of the ancient
bridge over Mingo creek, across
which Marion led his gallant compa-
nv to attack the Tories camped at
the Red House, palatial old res
idence, the ruins of which are still to
be seen; also the burial place OF
Marion's men who were slain IN this
encounter is still preserved.
In colonial days this must have
been one of the wealthiest portions
of Williamsburg county. as the RUNS
of many magnificent dwellings are
still to be seen here, grim specters OF
days that are dead, silently pointing
to the wealth and refinement OF a
by.gone and forgotten past. Who
they were or why their descendants
departed, tradition does not say and
we can find little out of the ordinary
in the class of people who dwelt in
this community before the Civil war
began.
Just before this event occurred
there came to this section from
North Carolina a gentleman by the
name of F Rhem, whose coming had
a lasting influence and did much to
shape the destiny of the whole COM
munity. MIR Rhem being a practical
turpentine man realized the splen-
did opportunity afforded and invest
ed in large tracts of timbered lands.
He then began operating what was
something entirely new in this Sec
tion-a plant for the manufacture OF
tarpentine products. AS is the case
With every manufacturing industry
-hisspA>.Sfise infused new life into
the people of our section, as it open
ed q market for the crude product OF
the fSne, which before that time had
been Regarded as quite worthless.
Taking the cue from the pioneer,
many others engaged in the manu-
facture of naval stores, which put
much money in circulation and
proved God-send to all classes OF
people.
MIR Rhem was an experienced
farmer as well as turpentine ex-
pert and his methods of clearing,
draining and fertilizing resulted in
extraordinary yields of corn, oats
and other grain crops, thus demon
strating the possibilities of our soil,
under proper cultivation. By his in
dustry and energy intelligently ap-
Piled, Mr. Rhem amassed large for
tune, which served to lay the foun-
.datier Of the prosperous section that
today, bears his name, the history of
which will be taken up in my next
communication. MINGO.

ILLINOIS LAND WORTH
HALF BILLION STOLEN
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE SAYS
LAKE SHORE GRABBED.
Illinois Central is Hit-Committee
Recommends Suit to Revoke Char
ter-Capt. Kidd is Outdone.

Springfield, Ill.-The people Of Il
linois have been defrauded of land
valued at from $3.50, 900, 900 to $780,
900, 0C0. Of this 1,S1G acres lie along
the lake shore from South Chicago
to Waukegan and 1857 acres are
within the limits Of the city of Chi
cago. The Illinois Central railroad
alone has grabbed 400 acres in the
city's front yard and the attorney
general should sue to recover its
value and parhaps revoke the com
pany's charter. Capt. George yelling
ton Streeter has as much or more
right TO Streeteryille than any of the
present holders, to whom the Lin
coin Park board gave it. The Chi
cago river has been camped on lille
pOratiOns and business houses.
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by the Cniperfield committe,
which was appointed by the Forty
sixth general assembly to investigate
submerged lands in the state. After
almost two years of exhaustive labor
the committee has compiled it's re-
port.
SO comprehensive is the report in
the belief of lawyers who have seer
it, that any ordinary member of the
bar could walk into court with it
under his arm and turn the state of
Illinois upside down.
1T is a history which reads like
a romance as to how the Illinois
Central, starting in with a strip Of
200 feet in width from the city limits
nOrthward, has continued to grasp
and extend until now substantially
400 acres of the most valuable LAND
of the city of Chicago is in its pos
session.
when the achievements in this di-
rectiOn of this company are consid-
cred, it makes the choicest depreda-
tions of Capt. Kidd look like an anna
eur performance.
without question 1t has allowed
commercial considerations of gain and
profit in the making and selling OF
lands to influence its course and to
direct it's policy. 1t has not. car
ried out the provisions of it's charter.
1t has not dealt in good faith with
the people of the state of Illinois,
and in the opinion Of this committee
its charter is subject to revocation"

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanvilIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville, Hl.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision Of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from Indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted. but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

81 have suffered from the same trou-
BILE (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time OF
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were we'll. The inlamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base Of the finger nail. Sometimes It
was SO painful that 1 had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. l had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again l tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor Of
a friend Of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but 1t was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use It.
l began to use C%uticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously Of my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but l rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as l could. l had not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor infam-
nation, the nails grew out clear
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in eRectiug a.
cure" (Signed) Mrs. J. J. Horton.
