crease in the quantity OF whiskey con-
srmed in Raleigh has been marked.
The fight Of the temperance people
and the law abiding people Of Raleigh
is to still further improve conditions
by enforcing the law. One night las
week a meeting OF three score solid
men in Raleigh was held to consult
together to devise the best means for
removing the reprOach of the lack
Of law enforcement in the city of
Raleigh. The suggestion had been
made that prohibition had not beer a
success, and Mr.. Y. Q. Parker. who
has been in the real estate business
in Raleigh for Il number of ears
and who has had had opportunities
| second to no mar in the city to know
the change in conditions under pro-
hibition and under saloons, made a
statement tina tells the true condi-
tons IN Raleigh under prohibition.
In part, Mr.. Parker said:
~"Conditions which exist at
present III Raleigh are certainly
live times better thar they were
under the open barroom sys-
tenn and a great deal better thai
they were under the d~ispensary
system. 1t is a great deal better
to have a few blind tigers, who

h wonderful progress Raleigh
has made and challenge any man
to find q city which has made

NEW SYSTEM FOR CR[DENTIAL BOOKS Southwestern Lines Adopt Plan For Issuing Mileage
 and Delay Rebate.
MAY NOT BE POPULAR
Travelling Public Will Have to Plank Down $6O and Wait Year and
 Half For Returns.

On July the crsdentials books issued by and used on many railroads in the Southwestern states will be- ccme void and a coupon book with COCO coupons of face value of one cent each will be issued on paymen of s60. The new books are similar to mileage books and the coupons may be used as legal tender ;n pur- chasing tickets. When the book IS used up the holder by sending it to the business managers office ln St.. Louis will get rebate of one-hai. cent per mile. The new system will differ from the old in that the DOCK represents cash outlay of $oo. whereas the credentials book was purchased fer $1 and served as a receipt for the number of miles trav- eled.
 The coupon books are issued by the Southwestern lnterchang geable Bureau, of St. Louis, and are recog- nized by railroads in Alabama, Arl- zona, Arkansas, Colorado Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mexico, Oklaho- ma, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee aud Texas. The coupons must be used up within one year and must be forwarded to the joint agent of the bureau at St. Louis within ssS' months to obtain the half-cent re- bate on every mile travelled. A fee of fifty cents will be paid to the joint agent when the book is sent. in to- obtain the refunds f
 The coupons will be good for the purchase of any one way ticket on the Ines cooperating with the bureau, but conductors or auditors will net be permitted to accept them as cash unless the passenger board the train at "blird siding lr town where there is nc station, and then the passenger cen only pay his fare to the end of the receiving conduct or's or auditors run.
 The rehating system only benefits those who travel extensively travel ing men, orummsrs. theatrical men, etc., and it is not thought the new system will be received with favor as it necessitates planking down $50 in cash and a whole year and a half o wait for the rebate of one-half cent per mile However, in case tho books are not ussd up they can 0e returned to the bureau and cashed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions 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 lln- 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 inflamma- 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 in- flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 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.
