MBnBBBnaBnnannBai j The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday. January 15. 1902. According to Joe Wheeler. General Joe Wheeler was in Cleveland. Ohio, recently in the interest oi a new army rifle. Incidentally he stated that there was no daDger of s I>reaA in the political condition of the Sooth. White suDremacy was neces sary for financial prosperity and eta bility. These are bat the views oi the holders of every shade of politi eal belief in the South. But few per sons in all the land would like to see a reversal ofj the order of existing conditions and have the reign oi black supremacy reinstated. Such s state of affairs are contrary to the laws of both God and man. Thej ar8 absolutely at variance with the teachings of nature and being unnatural could not exist any length oi time without an upheaval of society and the disruption of the government. The experiment has been tried once too often already and has resulted in such a shameful failure that it will ever remain an eating, bleeding and festering sore upon our body politic and such a burning disgrace to the Republican party, which is alone responsible for the darkest pages in American history, that it is not likely to repeat the folly had it the power and desire, niether of which it now has, to do so. These facts are recognized bj intelligent men everywhere, and this cry of designing politicians and their henchmen of an effort to again Africanize the South by the enthronement of the Republican party through th8 disruption of the Democratic party by those who wish to see the service of the government improved by the appointment of decent, > 1- ?-a L i Honest ana cuuipeut uhiciui?, auu iue progress of the South and its agricultural and industrial interests fostered and protected by the adoption of sound and progressive measures founded upon practical business principles, is unworthy of credence and so out of joint with the spirit of the times that only those who have ears and hear not and eyes and see not the signs of coming events will be fooled by such nonesense. ) 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 remiedies. Deafness is caused by be inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. "When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam' mation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused bj Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous suri iaccw. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused bj catarrh) that cannot be cured bj Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, fee. F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, 0.

In a perfunctory way nearly everyone assented tc a general proposition that it would be a good thing to have a channel cut through the narrow strip of land between North and South America Bat who then thought of the canal in its broader character, as a greal 1 - i 4U, Slgaway iur tut? cumuiextc ux tut world. "Four years ago the idea of a telegraph cable across the Pacific was a day-dream of science but a night' mare cf capital. Tcday the cable is an assured fact, with American enterprise behind it, whether the government assumes the labor and expenses of laying it or merely lends its encouragement to the undertaking in O t w private bands. Four years ago avery movement to build up an army and navy beyond the merest skeleton was frowned upon by peace-lovers everywhere. Today we have a land force poten tially four times as large as the maxi mum authorized for a generation after the civil war, whilst our arma ' ment on the sea has advanced proportioaally. Four years ago what meaning had . the word "reciprocity"' in American ears ? How the marvel grows then, when we find President McKiniey, the arch-champion of Protection and the Home Market, uttering almost with bis dying lips, a prayer for a . commerce based on the ideal of the universal brotherhood of man! The most remarkable fact in the H-,0 A rr>orir?ori r>ntlr>nk ia CAtCUCily'U Ui UUV VMVWW*. ? that it is so well balanced. It > stretches eastward through the new relations formed between the United 1 States and the leading Powers of ' Europe. It stretches westward through the new grasp our nation ? has taken upon Asia. It stretches northward through the revival of that fraternal feeling which always underlies a common language and a common law. It stretches south! werd through the reminder most forcibly conveyed in the Treaty of ' Paris, that the Monroe Doctrine ie still a living principle in American diplomacy. A Profitable Investment. "I was troubled for about seven years'with my stomach and in bed half my time/' says E. Demick, Somervilie, Ind. 4kI spent about $1,000 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entirely well/' You don't live by what you eat, but by wuao juu ui^coi auu oooiujiiaio. -LI your stomach doesn't digest your food you are reaUy starving. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure dees the stomach s work by digesting the food. You don't have to diet. Eat all you want. Kodol Dyspepsia Clare cures all stomach troubles. J. E. Kaufmann. He Got the Soap. While the special train of George Gould was on a side track in Missouri, says the New York Time9. Mr. Gould stepped to earth to stretch his legs while waiting for a regular train to pass. It was in the more rugged part of the state, well away from civilization. A typical habitant of the district stopped a pair of emaciated mules near the train. He hailed Mr. Gould and said: "Say, mister, we have a new baby at my dugout, an' we ain't got no soap. My old woman is so stuck up over it that she's making me drive fourteen miles to town to get some nice smellin'soap, an' I thought maybe you'd help me out by gettin' me a piece of soap outen one of them fancy cars.'' Mrs. Gould who overheard the ret quest, had the porter give the man ; several pieces of soap wrapped in r some toweb and several articles of . tinned delicacies. The man seemed - much surprised at such generosity, and as he turned to drive homeward . he shouted bock to Mr. Gould: "Sftv. mister, vnu all must be some relation to Santa Claus." r Child "Worth Millions. "My child is worth millions to me," says Mrs. Mary Bird of Earrisburg, Pa., "yet I would have lost her by croup had I not purchased a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure." One Minute Cough Cure is a sure cure for coughs, croup and threat and luDg troubles. An absolutely safe cough . cure which acts immediately. The ) youngest child can take it with entire [ safety. The little ones like the taste t and remember how often it helped [ them. Every family should have a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure handy. At this season especially it mav be needed suddenly. J. E. Kaufmann. Mors Truth Than Poetry. This is a erood time of the year for "doctiDaries", both white and colored, to give cords of advice to the negro. That is not what he needs. He wants an opportunity to work, something to work with and fair wages. i * A f.rma T.flwVawrt Ma an MM W? AY. C. WilliamEOD, of Amherst, Ya., says: "For more than a year I suffered from lumbago. I finally tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm and it gave me entire relief, which all other remedies had failed to do." Sold by J. E. Kaufmann. Cheap Kates to the Exposition.

H. Tayloe, A. G. P. A. Atlanta, Ga. "Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says James Prendergast, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. Sold by J. E. Kaufmann. He Meant the Other Biped. A man once received as a present from a sea captain a fine specimen of the bird known as the "laughiDg jackass/' As he wa9 carrying it home he met a brawny Irish navy, who stopped him: "Phwat kind of burrd is that, sir?" | asked the man. "That's a laughing jackass," ex! plained the owner, genially.. The Irishman, thinking he was be; ing made fun of, was equal to the ! occasion, and responded, with a i twinkle in his eye: "It's Dot yerself?it's tbe burrd, I mane, sorrf I Says Hs "Was Tortured. "I suflered sucb pain from corns I I could hardly walk," writes H. Robin son, .tiillsborougo, ills., "but Uucklen'3 Arnica Salve completely cured them." Acts like magic on sprains, bruises, cuts, sores, scalds, burns, boils, ulcers. Perfect healer of skin diseases and piles. Cure guaranteed by J. E. Kaufmann. 25c. i i BUS BLOW. ! BAB COMPLEXION. ! The skin is the seat of an aimost end| less variety of diseases. They are known ' by various names, but are all due to the | same cause, acid and other poisons in I the Mood that irritate and interfere with . the proper action of the skin. ? * - -? r * * r r To have a smootii, sou sKin, irce irosn all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure j and healthy. The many preparations of ; arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and iotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove permanently the ugly blotches aud the red, disfiguring pimples. | Eternal vigilance is the price ! of a beautiful complexion ' when such remedies are relied on. Mr. II. T. Shone. ?;o{ Lucas Avenue, St. Louis. Mo., says : "My daughter was afflicted for years with a 'disfiguring eruption oa Iter face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no benefit. Many medicines weie prescribed,'out without result, until we decided to try S. S. S.. aud by the time the lirst bottic was finished tliecrnption began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her completely and left her shin perfectly smooth. She is now seventeen years old. and not a sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned." S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for ! the worst forms of skin troubles. It is | the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the j only one guaranteed purely vegetable, j Bad blood makes bad complexions. purifies and invigomakes new, rich blood skin active and healthy and in proper j condition to perform its part towards j carrying off the impurities from the body.

Havana, Jan. 10.?The case of the Cuban postal frauds was resumed today in the audiencia court, after having been adjourned Tuesday last op account of the illness of counsel for | Charles F. W. Neely. W. H. Reeves, one of the defendants, was again called to the stand and testified reI carding the stamp burning incident. He said the stamps were not counted, and that Neely told him Estes G. Rathbone acquiesced in the whole matter. I Children Especially Liable. Bams, bruises and cuts are extremely painful and if neglected often result in blood poisoning. Children are especially liable to such mishaps because not so careful. As a remedy DaWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is unequalled. Draws out the fire, stops the pain, "soon heals the wound. Beware of counterfeits. | Sure cure for piles. "DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured my baby i of eczema after two physicans gave her up," writes James Mock, N. Webster, Iod. "The sores were so bad she soiled two to five dresses a day.' J. E. Kaufmann. Wants More Marriages. Dr. Charles L. Kloss, a Congrega' tional minister of St. Louis, in an ; interview suggested that woman ought to take the initiative in proposing marriage. He says he has 300 members and there were only ten marriages last year. He thinks wo men too timid and shy. Wherefore, it may be inferred that Dr. Klosa has a very imperfect knowledge of women and their ways. A Good Recommendation. "I have Doticed that the sale on i Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver i Tablets is almost invariably to those i who have once used them,"' savs Mr. J. H. Webea, a prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What better rei commendation could any medicine j have than for people to call for it | when again in need of sucharemedj? I Try them when you feel dull after ! eating, when you have a bad taste in | your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with con| stipation, and you are certain to be j delighted with the prompt relief j which they afford.
