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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
hammation can be taken out and thi5
tube restored to its normal condition,

cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

PERMANENT PEACE PLANS.

Disciples of peace the world over
are moving along the line of sug
sgestion made by the Press and Ban
sner a few weeks after war was de-
ciared in Europe. The suggestion
was a permanent peace council back
eed by an army Of something like
two million men to be supported by
all the civilized nations. ,,...
Some of the men who are working
in this movement are: DR.. Jno
Wesley Hill, ex-President Taft, An
drew Carnegie, DIR. David Starr Jor;
dan, Senator Burton, Judge Alton B,
Parker, Governor Whitman of New
I York and others.
Whatever merit there may be in
this peace plan, and whoever may
have suggested it first, the suggestion
appeared in the Press and Banner be-
fore this editor had seen or heard OF
il elsewhere. - r.

The Railroad Commission has ask

pressly prohibiting negroes riding in

ting the ordinary coach in two.
The Pullman Company asserts that
it is entirely willing to segregate the
races, but that nearly all its cars run
on interstate lines and they are afraid
of the Federal laws. There is nc
good reason why this State should
hold the railroads TO one rule and the
Pullman Company to another. The
railroads have enforced the segrega-
tion laws in good faith. The Su-
preme Court of the United States
has declared the segregation laws to
be constitutional and there is NO
longer any excuse for requiring
white ladies to sleep in the same car
with negro men.

Solution for the Problem Of the
.. Unemployed.


The liquor men are bidding for public
sympathy on behalf Of the poor working
man who, it is claimed, is thrown out, of
employment by prohibition. They state
that as result Of the voting dry of Ari-
zona, CoIoraco, Oregon and Washington,
some forty local trades unions unde' the
Jurisdiction Of the Bartenders' Interna-
tional League have ;disbanded, and dire
results are predicted. The Labor News
Galveston, ILL.,, however, sounds truer
note. It says:
"When the people quit spending a bill
lion dollars year for tless than nothing,
then they will have money to spend for
necessities and there will be jobs for ev-
|erybody making things worth while,
Who would think Of putting up wall for
the poor manufacturer and dealer In
coke or other drugs thrown out ofwork
through the passage or enforcement Of
laws against the drug fhabit Who will
defend the poor worker thrown out Of
employment because Of the sumptuary
law against burglary or murder!E ltis

cadam roads, and when the cost of
repairing is considered it is very
doubtful if the macadam road is the
most desirable.
Sand-clay roads give very good re-
suits, but as a rule there is not suffi-
cient sand put on the clay or sufh-
cient clay put on sand to make per-
manent road.
The attention of the Supervisor is
called to the soil road. These roads
have been thoroughly tried in Geor-
|gia where conditions were as unfa-
vorable as possible, and it is said
that they are entirely satisfactory.
In conversation with an expert
road builder. some time ago we
learned that the ordinary soil, along
side of the roads is better suited to
permanent road building than any
material that can be used on the
roads. It is said that this soil as a
rule has exactly the right amount of
clay and sand ready mixed by ma
ture and that when properly put on
the roads will resist the worst of
rainy weather. There is hardly a
mile of road in Abbeville county
that hasn't this soil along side of it.
If land owners are not willing to
give something like ten feet on each
side of the road for the benefit of a
permanent road, an act of the legis-
Iature should be passed allowing a
disinterested central commission to
assess the value of the soil and let
the county pay for it. '?
Better roads are now a necessity,
and some effective as we'll as inex-
pensive means of building must be
adopted. Try the soil land. 49,

CUT TOUT.

The farmer of this part of the State
who is restricted to six acres of cot
ton to the plow, will let his land lie
out rather than undertake to observe
the law.
Everybody knows that 80 per cent
of the farmers of the State do busi-
ness on a credit system and where is
the merchant or the banker who will
advance supplies to farmers on the
prospect of raising less than two
bales of cotton to the horse, and that
is the prospect in this section of the
State. ,--
is The farmers of Abbeville county
set in to reduce their cotton acreage
about fifty per cent without reference
to the legislature, and this they are
doing in good faith, awaiting some
action by this legislature. Now will
the present legislature force them t.
attempt the impossible in trying to
sustain themselves and their tenants
Eon q six acre money crop, or disre-
gard the law, or will they repeal the
unreasonable law?
Abbeville county hasn't and will
not have a grain elevator. This
means that there will be nothing
more than q local market for Able
vile county grain. Ali grain crops
are uncertain at best in this State,
and farmers have not yet learned to
care for their grain, all of which
makes it of little Importance as a
money crop.
Our farmers have learned their les.
son in cotton and the Legislature
need NOT encompass them with i'm
possible restrictions.
It is doubtful if any kind of re
striction, unaccompanied by State
aid, is constitutional, therefore il
would be well to repeal the law, Of
amend it to ten acres to the plow
which would at least have the mora
support of intelligent farmers.
