DEAFNESS CAN'NOT 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 condition of the mu cous linifig of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are cau'sed by catarrh, which is nothing bnt an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafneos (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.

Last week a piano tuner was in town, and he called on sonic ladies interested in one of our church organs. They told him that the organ needed tuning and that be might look at it. So the man hunted up the keeper of the keys and took a look at the organ, and without doing any work he went back to let the ladies know how much it would coat. The ladies were out visit ing, and while the tuner was on the way to their house they went into the church, and thinking the organ was fixed, played sev eral tunes and came out. On the street they met the man and to him expressed their great satisfaction at the improvement he made in the instrument, and paid him a handsome compliment on his skill. The man did not have the f ace to tell them that he had not touched the organ, so he smiled, boiwed, and possibly uttered a silent prayer of thanks that he was alive. Then he left town on the next train. Rum-seller and Drunkard. By request we publish a poem describing the meeting between the rum-seller and his victim in the res urection morn which Rev. James McDowell quoted in his sermon last Sunday morning: "One was the drunkard, early dead, The other, he who hurled him to the grave! As the grave raised its rattling shroud, and Let their bodieQ forth, clothed, both with dismal Immortality-the drunkard started, As he slowly turned and fixed his horrid eyes On him who shrank from that look of death, And sprang to seek his hiding tomb. Moan ing He said-'Spirit ! why gaze on me ?' Who art Thou? Knowest thou me?' 'Know thee?' loud shrieks Replied: 'Know I this judgment morn? Know I The threat to meet thee here again ! Stand forth ! Thou doomed, unconcerned fiend ! Aye, well I know Thee! Well I knew on earth thy damning arts That lured me to the grave ! Stand forth! and look On yonder fiowery spot, where rose to heaven My angel wife and babes, and read the Inscription on their tombs, and mine ! I am The murdered man thou sawest die, and thou, My murderer; the monster seller of that Ardent fire that burned my body, and now Burns my foul! But, hark ! the judg ment-trumpet Calls! and we must meet the Judge! I told thee So, when dying on my bed of straw, in Yonder world. Away! Away! for stillthe Trumpet calls! It calls for thee, thou murderer! And I will be a witness at the bar, And call on God to dawn thy soul and mine !"

McLaurin Applauded. Editor The Manning Times:-The r( eent letter of Hon. John L. McLaurin to the Columbia Register is the utterance of a man who has the true interest of the Re form movement at heart. There is no man in public life who has received the ensure and vituperation that .lcLaurin bas, and there is no man who has, by his icts, given the lie to the chargers against im more fully than has this peerless rep resentative of the people. The true Reformers of South Carolina know that U1r. McLanrin is the very soul of honor, ind when an Anti says that his letter means a "flop" from his allegiance to right ind principle, it only provokes a smile. rhe peace and harmony that he pleads for is to be brought abcut on'y by th: means :hat he suggests; that there is a dangerous ring that proposes to make the approach ng constitutional convention a step for political and personal advancement, we do acot deny. Rings are the natural result of politics. The question, however, that we tre called upon to meet, is the best plan to be pursued that will bring the white peo ple of the State together. As Mr. McLaur in says let us, in electing delegates, lose ight of party lines altogether and make he convention non-factional. If the ring, hat Mr. McLaurin speaks of does exist, it behooves every true reformer to see that it s broken, and the party rid of every 'Ring" scheirer that now occupies a place n its ranks. P- W. W.

Again we come after a deep and cold sow to claim our space in your valuable paper. We have just passed through one >f the most trying years, both on larmert md merchants, we have ever experienced. otton has almost sold below cost of pro :iction, and which is our best course to pursue in the future, is a question which time alone will answer. In the fi st place >ur farmers should so plant, that what they rai. e will make them self-supporting, en ibling them to reduce their purchases for domestic and food supplies to a miminum, mod making cotton as nearly as possible a urplus crop. Cotten is the money crop :f the South, and even when it is selling at m low price, the farmers might make some thing ont of it, if they raise their own hog mud hominy. We recognize the facct, that the finanicial question figures largely in the >ver production of cotton (so cadied). If every man in the land had all the cotton goods he needed, there would be no over production. Thousands of people have >nly one shirt, (and may be two) who would gladly have half a dozen or a ilozen, if they were able to buy them. They have, not the money with which to purchase the-u, and they cannot get them on credit, and hence there is an under-consumption of cotton goods. We do not take much stock in con ventions, getting together, and advising farmers to phant less cotton. Nothing could produce a larger crop~ of cotton than the unanimous opinion of all our farmers that a small crop would be planted. We have never seen it fail, that when the planters themselves are fully satisfied the'e is going to be a small crop, that each individual, and the larger planters general ly, increa%e their acreage, wishing toi take advantage of the protability thr.: cotton will be worth more the next year. 'This to some erxtent, was the cause of the big crop of 1894, everybody thought there would be a short crop, anid that cotton wouldl be worth more in 1891k than it wa~s in 1893. Whereas the opposite has proven to be true. We await with patience the cotton season of 1895. The health of our community is very good. Mrs. M. M.

Additional horror is given to their forlorn and unfortunrge condition by the fact that the unfortunates are exposed to the severities of a winter unusually ardu ous even for that section. "These destitute farmers have appealed to their fellow citizens of the houthern States for aid. Neighboring States have heard their cry of distress and their citizens are opening their hearts to themi in this their hour of terrible need. "The Young Men's Business League, of Charleston. has undertaken to collect and forward uany supplies that the charitable peope of south Carolina cau spare for this aeserving purpose. The contributions which 'are asked are corn, meal, meat, cloth ing and money. The farmers of this State have tbeen especially blessed by providence with a superabundance or corn,and it is be lieved that they will be glad of aniopportu nity to contribute to the relief of their fel low famrers of Nebraska. 'The railroads have generously consented to forward any supplies for this purpose ,to the bead quarters of the League in this city; from which point they will be forwarded in bulk to their final destination. He who gives quickly gives well. The need of the suf lerers is urgent." All donations should be marked "Y. M. B. Lg., Charleston, S. C., for Nebraska sufferers.

The Auditor's office will be open from the second day January, 1895, to the twenth day of February, 1895, to receive returns of real and per sonal property for taxation in Clar endon county for the year 1895, and for the convenience of tax-payers will have deputies at each of the places named below to receive re turns for the said year: Pinewood, Monday, January 7th, 189 Packsville, Tuesday, January 8th, 1895.

Barrows School House, Midway township, Friday, January 25th, 1895. A good way for the taxpayer, who has much property to return, is to make a numeration of the number of horses, cattle,mules, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, organs and pianos, buggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, merchandise, machinery, moneys, notes and accounts, (above indebted ness) furniture, &c., which will save the taxpayer time, and enable the assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on the first day of January, 1895 All personal- property, must be returned th's year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a seperate return for each party for the township the property is in, and where the tax payer owns realty, to insert the past office as their place of residence, and those who only own personal prop erity, to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the taxpayer as well as the county treasurer in nmaking the collections and prevent ing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of January, 1895, ex cept those incapable of earning a support from being mamied, or from other causes, shall be deemed tax able polls. All the returns that are made after the twentieth day of February will have a penalty of 50 per cent, added thereto, unless prevented by sickness or out of the county during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. And all owners of real estate, might do their tenants, who cannot read, or take a news paper, a great favor by making their returns or telling thenm the time of ;ting, and that if they fail to make their returns in time that the valua tion has to be increased 50 per cent. unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, &c., as well as the acres of land, lots, and buildings, and their value, that there is in the county, and have same on fila in the Comp troller General's office by the thir tieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of Oc tober each year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate has to be com pleted and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's office by Ithat time, which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in return or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. Thi'efore I hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of making their returns in time. I J. ELBERT DAVIS, Auditor Cl'non ounnty. 25 Per Cent.
