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
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. u
w will give One spdrea
Dollars for any caseof fness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Pool Held Without Bond.

The preliminary trial IF Ditti-
mus Pool, charged with killing
Monroe Warner Of the Second
Ward Of this parish, was heard
Saturday by Judge George Wear
Of the Thirtieth judicial Court.
The courtroom was crowded and
special deputies were sworn in to
preserve order. District Attor-
ney Richey placed B. F. Howe
and E. w. Radford on the stand.
Both sWore to having heard Pool
say the Monday before the kill
ing took place that he knew that
Warner had been told several
things that he had said about
him, but that Warner had never
tackled him about any of them.
Witness R2dford went so far as
to say that Pool had said in SUBJ
stance that he would get"
Warner if he ever got the law on
his side.
Both of these witnesses were
within $50 yards of the scene
when the shooting took place,
both heard Pool and Warner
talking and the shot fired, and
were among the first to reach
Warmers body after he was shot.
They testified to the fact that
they found Warner in a dying
condition, and that he was lying
upon his back with a hunting horn
claspedin hisright hand, and that
his left hand was shot through
the fingers, showing that,he could
not have been in the act of draw
ing a weapon when he was shot.
The bride which was worn by
Warmers horse on the morning
OF the killing was produced in
court, identified and offered in
evidence. It's reins were pnnc-
tured by bullet holes.
The only eyewitness to the
deed was a little negro girl about
SIX or seven years old. She said
that she heard Warner curse
Pool, and that she saw Pool shoot
Warner, Other witnesses testi.
fled that Warner was nnarmed
when he was shot. Tie case
was submitted without argument
on either side, and the court i'm.
mediately gave a decision refus.
ing bail to the prisoner, remand.
ing him to Jail, and referring the
case to the grand jury for actor

Paint or Not

Is a horse worth more or less
after feed?
Hay and oats are high today;
shall | wait today and feed to-
morrow?
That's how men do about paint
inc their houses and barns and
fences. Paint has been high for
several years; and so they have
waited. Paint is high yet; they
are still waiting; thousands of
'em are waiting for paint to fall.
Their property drops a trifie a
year and the next job of paint
creeps-up creeps-up creeps-up;
it'll take more paint by a gallon a
year; they don't save cent, and
the property goes-on suffering.

We have been especially pleas
ed with the character and sources
of the compliments recently paid
our store.
Repeatedly has it been said by
visitors unquestionably qualified
to express themselves upon the
subject, THAT NO other large
collection Of furniture in this
section is of such uniform merit,
or as widely representative of the
really best sources, or offers
more generous measures of
VALUE at the prices asked.
An official tour Of inspection
and investigation, just completed
through the principal stores and
shops of the larger eastern cities,
gives US the best Of reasons for
believing that these comments
have been sincere and we'll found
ed. Careful comparisons make
us more proud than ever of our
store, and confirm our belief that
nowhere can furniture and Access
series be purchased to better ad:
vantage than here.
Our buyer has just returned
from his Eastern trip, where he
bought the largest stock we have
ever had. These goods will be
coming in from day to day, SO
our store will be full of bright
new goods. We most cordially
invite you to write US about your
HOME wants and to look through
our various exhibits, when you
are in Monroe, whether or not
you may desire to buy.

Mr.. W.T.. Stokes
PASSED AWAY IN
ATLANTA MONDAY
FATHER OF REV. ]. ". Stokes
Was an Aged and Esteemed
Citizen

| In response to message announc-
| ing the death of his aged father, Mr.
w. F. Stokes, in Atlanta, Rev J. w
Stokes, who had left the. sick room
Saturday to fill his pulpit in Americas
Sunday, returned to that city yeste--
day afternoon to attend the funeral
services, not as yet announced, but
which will probably take place ia
Atlanta this afternoon
In view of the protracted illness OF
Mr.. Stokes, his death was not unex-
pected, the end having come peacefully
at o'clock Monday morning. The de-
ceased was siXty-eight years of age
and a pioneer resident of Atlanta,
where he had resided since 1868. Mr.
Stokes was a native of Athlone, Ire
land, where he was born in 1845. He
came to the United States in 1867 an
year later settled in Atlanta, where
he has since resided.
For many years he was successfully
engaged in business there, his first
venture being in the fruit and produce
trade. A man of energy and persc-
verance, honest and upright in his
dealings, he occupied an enviabIe pa
sition in the commercial world
A broad-minded Christian gentle
man, he engaged actively in church
work, having been a consistent mem
Der of the Central Presbyterian
church. He was gentle in tempera-
ment, and uncompromising in any is
sue where truth was involved. Retir-
ing in his demeanor, his real worth
was best known to those nearest to
him.
Mr.. Stokes is survived by his wife
and two sons, Rev. ]. w. and Charles
A. Stokes; four daughters, Misses
Minnie, Florence, Julia and Margoethe
Stokes, and by one brother, MIR. John
w. Stokes, who accompanied him to
America from Ireland, and who has
since resided in Atlanta. His death
will be deplored in the wide field Of
his usefulness.

Big DEMAND
FOR Melons
THIS SEASON
CROP is VERY SHORT HERE
On Account of the Extended
DrOuth

I'VE could coin money this season
| if we only had the melons to sell,
said Mr.. B. F. Easterlin, one of Sum-
ter's most extensive melon growers,
while in Americas Monday. This is
the harvest season and the demand
for melons is all that could be desired.
but, unfortunately, the fruit crop IS
going to be very short
Mr.. Easterlin stated that the first
carload shipments to leave Anderson
vile would go forward today. Ship
pers were busily engaged Monday
loading the cars, and buyers were ON
hand to pay for the melons, spot cash,
thus relieving the growers of any pos
sible loss.
Several of these buyers came down
to Americas yesterday to see parties
here owning considerable fields C
melons, while at Andersonville there
were dozen prospective purchasers.
The very short crop, generally, has
created a lively demand for waterme1-
ons, and very satisfactory prices are
being offered.
Mr. Easterlin stated that $3.50 per
car was the prevailing price asked for
melons loaded for shipment. A car
load consists of 900 to HOO melons,
according to size There are about
two grades in weight, thirty and forty
Founders. There are probably 500
acres planted in watermelons in tina,
locality, but the crop has not turned
out we'll because of the long-prevail
ing drouth in the Andersonville neigh
borhood With the exception of twJ
or three light showers there has been
little rain in that locality since April
I11th. nearly three months ago.
Melons require a great deal of mois-
ture, and Mr.. Easterlin expressed sur
prise that the crop has turned out
even as well as it has. With short
crops in other melon sections. and an
excellent demand for all the melons
put upon the market, Sumter county
growers will receive top prices for the
carloads they have to sell.
Conditions are better, however, than
last season, when an abundant water
melon crop was grown here, for which
there was very limited demand, as the
market broke in the very height Of
the shipping season and melons wer"
scarcely worth loading into the wait
! ing cars.
