When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect treating, and when it is entirely aiosed deafness iB the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken oat and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be de toyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The wood business is on a boom. . Messrs. G. A. Goodwin, our efficient depot agent, and C. S. Goodwin are the buyers of it. One of Gaston's merchants, who has been doing business during the fall and winter, with the chair factory annexed, has sold out to another merchant in the town, and will either run the factory exclusively or return to his farm to live at home and board at the same place. Preparations are being made for tee coming crop. Already you can scent the fumes of guano and hear Hie 4<wboa gee" of the merry plow boy. Brother farmer, let me whisper in yoor ear, go slowly and don't make your guano bill too large or your cotton acreage too great, or you may bare occasion to regret it in the fall. Lay in plenty of home supplies and plant cotton as a surplus crop. Mr. Burt Fallaw and good lady of Sand Dam section, paid a visit to their daughter, Mrs. "W. B. Fallaw, a short while ago.

For the benefit of the petitioners for a rural free delivery route from Gaston, I will say that the latest information received by Billy is that the funds are exhausted and the route can't go into effect before the first day of April next Be patient, brethren, and wait on Uocle Sam. Now you hear grumbiing and murmuring all over the State against "Teddy" appointing negroes to Federal offices. Who is to blame? South Carolina, the grand old Palmetto State, bad a representative in theUnited States Senate who did credit to bis native State and is an honor to her fair name?one whose ability, broad statesmanship and coneerva tive views has won a national reputation, and who exerted his influence for the good of bis State?but an element, joalons of his influence in national affairs, rose tip against him and said, "Johnny has sold out for a consideration.7' If John L McLaurin had been returned to the United States Senate I firmly* believe that the people of this State would not now be humiliated by seeing a negro in a Federal office. Brothers, you have to grin and bear it. Its your own doings.

I y, ? ._ a STEEL TRACK ROARS EXPERIMENTING VViTH THEM IN NEW YORK CITY. ITo-.v These Ili&Tivrsys of Steel Are ISallt n.:iti Whut Tliey Cost?Tdo Imiue:ixe Saving I;i llasla^c un This Style of Roadway. * The rural, commercial and industrial interests of this country have been so much accustomed to depend upon canals and railroads to transport their products to market that they have habitually neglected the arteries over which nearly all traflic originates?viz, the common highway. Farmers and other people living in the country are more interested than other citizens in the construction and maintenance of good highways, yet until a few years ago they displayed obstinate antipathy to help any movement in favor of improving the country's highways. The lirst systematic movement made to improve the country's highways was originated by bicyclists w 1* n that form of amusement was an active living force, says a writer in the Automobile Magazine. The bicycle fantasy has passed, but it has been succeeded by even a stronger movement?that of automobiling?and the people interested in horseless carriages are agitating strenuously in favor of improved highways, and the inliuence they exercise as a class promises to produce important results. All they need is the co-operation of farmers and others interested in having good roads to haul their produce over. The Automobile Club of America has inaugurated a movement which is calculated to effect a revolution in inland transportation if it meets with the support it deserves. A few months ago Wnv stnno whn 1ms made a I VJCilClUl ?. j special study of roadmaking, in an address before the Automobile Club of America strongly advocated the use of steel plates for making highways. His arguments were so convincing that Mr. Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel corporation, offered to provide at his own expense steel sufficient to lay a mile of the roadway recommended by General Stone. One block of that steel has been laid in Murray street. New York, a street noted for its heavy traffic, and tests of the road were recently made. The results were a remurkable demonstration of the value of the system. It was found by actual experiment that a tractive force GO per cent greater was required to draw a load upon the rough stone pavement than upon the track or that, taking the power necessary to draw the load upon the pavement as the standard, exactly 37*4 per cent of it was saved by using the rails. In starting the load the advantage in foitc u'flc Avpn frroater. as LcL\ KJL Ul LUW 4U4IW ^ 0 ? but one-half or one-third of the usual force was required. The steel rails used in building these highways are forty feet in length and a foot in width. The upper surface is not polished. It is a rough finish, but not corrugated nor especially roughened in any way. The section of the rails is like that of an ordinary channel bar. the turned down portions at either side being about one and a half inches in depth. Coarse broken stone laid in a trench about fifteen inches deep and of the same width constitutes the bed upon which the rails rest. A drain tile at the outer edge of the bottom of each trench insures sufficient drainage. On top of the broken stone a layer of gravel or very fine stone and stone dust is laid, in which the rails imbed themselves firmly. Joints, consisting " ?i 1 f/v All aK of fiat plates or sieei nvciuw IU Ctt^U I rail under the wide tread and heavy llsli plates, bolted to the turned down portions of the rails on each side, afford a continuous and smooth surface. To prevent spreading of the rails there are inserted in the roadbed at intervals steel ties bent so as to clasp the rails and hold them securely in place. Every person familiar with teaming is a ware of the great reduction of wheel resistance that results from the wheels of a wagon being run on the plates attached to street car rails. If the day ever comes that the country roads are laid with steel runways, the saving to people who have to haul freight over the roads will be immense. Experiments made by engineers of high reputation have shown that a horse can haul on an iron or steel track fifty-four times the load it can haul in sand, thirty-six times as much as on an earth road, thirty-three times as much as on a stone trackway, twenty-five times as much as on a plank road in good order and nine times as much as 011 a good macadam road. Most of the roads that farmers have to haul their produce over + y.Konirn in arc cartii roiius, mj iuu l uuu^k. would increase the haulage eighteen times. The introduction of such an improvement ought to draw the cordial co-operation of every person who wishes to see our agricultural communities prospering as they should prosper. General Stone says that this style of roadway can be laid down for about $-1,000 a mile and that this character of road is as practicable for country as city use and that the cost would be no more than for ordinary stone roads. Petroleum For Road Proteetiou. The vast amount of damage that has been done to roads in the east anil cen tral states by the heavy rains tast summer calls attention rather forcibly to the great effect that petroleum has had on the California roads in preventing the washing of gullies across I he roads.
