Stock Food Swindle.
The Raleigh Progressive Farmer !
Bounds a note of warning to the farmers
of the South about what it calls
the stock food swindle. It says that
one of the most outrageous frauds '
now being perpetrated upon the American
farmer is that of prepared
etockfoodg?eommon meal, bran, etc.,
with a little cheap sulphur, salt, Ep-som
salts, pepper, saltpeter, etc.; aded
to change the taste, aud the mixture
(hardly more valuable than ordinary
ship stuff) put ia Aiming
packages, advertised in big illustrated
ads ia farm papers, aud sold to
gullible farmers at from $250 to
$2,500 a toe." The Progressive Farxner
says further, that some time ago,
the chief Southern contributor of one
of the farm papers most largely cir%
eulated in North Carolina and adjoining
States, wrote an exposure of
the whole miserable fraud and sent
it to his paper. "The reply came
back: The Blank Stock Food Com
pany pays as $3,000 a year for ad artising
and we would lose ifc if we
were to print yoar letter. Please
don't insist" It is qaite proper that
while the patent medicine nostrums
are getting a drubbing, the stock
food humbugs sboull be exposed,
and this The Progressive Farmer
proposes to do. If the frauds are of
the nature complained of, we hope
the exposure will be of a nature as (
to protect the farmers against them. ,

Deafness Cannot be Cured. J
bj local applications, as they cannot reach
, the diseased portion ot the ear. There is
only one way to cnre deafness, and that is I
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iDfilmed condition of the
mnnnna lininc of the Eustachian Tube. 1
When this tube is inflamed yon have a
Tumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
"when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tnbo restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy- (
?d forever; nin* cases oat of ten arecaused i
by Catarrh, which is nothiDg but an ? in- ]
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. i
We will give One Hundred Dollars for i
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) j
that cannot be cured by Hall'o Catarrh 1

Miller, the 16 year-old son of Dr. B. j
L. Miller, was last night shot and ]
killed by the negro porter of the ,
Lake View hotel. There were no ,
eye witnesses to the shooting, bnt ;
the pistol shots were heard. A search
was made and nearby was found the
negro in a dying condition. He lived I
long enough to say that he and Miller
hrd engaged in a pistol duel. There
is nj way to ascertain the cause of
the tragedy. Young Miller was at {
home for a few days from Wofford
college, S. C, where he had been attending
school.

for the third time nobody dared to
save him, but an old weather beaten
sailor, at the risk of his own life,
ran up the pier, and, jumping in,
rescued the man.

known to be sefe up to a iate hour
tonight, the wrecked steamer Valencia

?w.. ? ?
on the Vancouver coast, five miles
from Cape Beale. Ooly a portion of
a mast stands above the water, and
the fleet of steamers and tugs today
turned their attention to patrolling
the coast in the hope of finding boats
or rafts of wreckage still afloat with
survivors. But the belief grows
stronger each hour that 121 persons,
including most of the passengers, are
lost.
Of the thirty-three persons definately
accounted for, and these do
not include three men believed to be
survivors teen on Bhore by the whal- |
ing vessel Orion, six have been taken i
on the Salbor, bru'sad. half naked, J
and exhausted Nine others, in a
similar plight, are still camped on
Darling Creek, in a telegraph hut,
while the remaining eighteen were
picked up by the City of Topeka from
a raft.
Not a woman or child is among
the saved, survivors saying that the
women refused to leave the wreck
even when told the ship was going to
sink.

For Better Mail Service.
The State Bureau,
1417 G Street, N. W,
Washington, Jan. 21.
Representative Lever has filed with
Superintendent wbi?e of the railway
mail service a petition numerously
signed by prominent citizens along
the line of the Columbia, Charlotte
and Augusta road asking that mail
services be put on trains Nos. 7. and
130?the trains operating between
Columbia and Augusta. Mr. Lever
said chat if he could succeed in inducing
the department to grant this
service it would b8 of groat value to
the people between Augusta and Columbia.
'Tfc frequently happens,"he
said, ''that train No. 33 from the
North is late, and in that event the
mid-day train from Columbia to
Augusta leaves without the Northern
mail, which cause*! this mail to reach
local points between Columbia ard
Augusta about 17 hours late. If we
can get this service, this Northern
mail and also the mail coming on
trains from the northern part cf the
State would be taken up by the train
leaving Columbia at 5 p. m. for Augusta.
This would give a very convenient
service and wouM remedy
the inconvenience now very much j
complained of by the points interested
between Columbia and Augusta "
Talking further h9 said: "I shall
give this matter my best efforts.
*T think we are in fairly good
shape to get the service on the
through freight from Laurens to Co- s
lumbia. We have Bucceded in re- |
moving one of the main objections
and I am now awaitiDg a report from
Superintendent Terrell, who is in
charge of the local division at I
Augusta. I feel that to better the
mail service of the State is a matter :
which should engage the earnest 8t- i
tention of all members of congress "
