Senator Dankhead keeps writing to Too Journal about publishing a sup lement in which the candidacy of Un derwood Is Indorsed. He is wasting rtamps Groenwood Journal. Now, we would like to know the reason which The Journal has for re fusing this offer of the Underwood committee. As The Journal seems to object to this suplement and as it is h matter of fact that a number of South Carolina papers have accepted it. The Advertiser being among them, we nre sure that till of these papers WOUld be glad to know on what ground The Journal objects. Give us all a dose of newspaper ethics and lot's hear how it sounds?

Our esteemed local contemporary is respectfully reminded that now is the time to get another line of talk going about the use of your split-log drags. This is a subject that will Ftand a great deal of discussion and eventually bring about results Lau rcnsville Herald. Yes, the time has come again. In fact, every time It rains it is in order to say something to encourage the use of the split log drag. It's a great Institution and we hope to hear of more Laurens county's substantial farmers and business men getting on to the split log drag habit. Let's have some more of them. The work Is good and should continue. Those who have used the drag and seen the results of their work come to naught, on account of a succeeding inrush of waters, should not become discouraged, but should go at it again. 'What would some of the Laurens coun ty roads have come to during the past winter, if they had not been giv en attention by some of those living alongside thern? It is quite possible that this spell of rnlny weather will be broken with this last rain.

Tho Advertiser requests that next week and the week after, every split ed by its correspondents and the list ed by it's correspondents and the list of names will constitute The Laurens County Split Log Drug Honor Roll. The names will he published in a con spicuous place in the paper so that each man's neighbors will be encour aged to aid in the work. ? * * THE PUBLIC SERVICE. Wednesday afternoon of last week a representative of The Advertiser had a talk with Mayor Habb. hi which Mr. Rnbb stated a few things in con- J nection with the recent agitation as to the water and power service. in the first place, Mayor Habb .-'at ed that Mr. .1. E. Philpot Is nn sup erintendent of the city's waterworks and electric light plant, that the city has no superintendent, Mr. Philpot taking all orders from him, Mr. Phil pot's only specilied work being read ing of the metres. He also stated that Wednesday morning, before he was aware of any article In The Advertiser, he went to several members of the city council and informed them that he intended ordering a motor to be placed at the power station to run the va.cas tired in connection with the filter plant. He stated that the reason the water had not been clear of late was because of the fact that the power now at the station was not sufficient to pull hese rakes and that in the future, after the arrival of the motor, he anticipated no more trouble with the water. As to the order given the negro at the power house, not to cut off the current except at the order of Mayor Habb or Mr. Philpot, Mr. Babb stated that the power lines were so arranged at the station that If the current were cut off during a fire the force pumps could not run and proper pressure could not he secured. He also, said that the negro had misunderstood his orders as he had told him not to cut off the current except In cases of emergency. The reason that the or ders were given, he stated, was be cansed during the past few weeks, patrons of the telephone line had got ten in the habit of calling up the pow er station and demanding that the current he cut off every time one of the city's power lines happened to brush against the telephone lines. This order, therefore. Mr. Habb states, was given in the interest of better servile rather than lor poorer ser vice. Piro Chief Crews, it might be also stated, and Mayor Habb came to an understanding later during the WC? k and Mr. Habb consented to give orders at the power house to shut off the v arrent upon the order of Chief Crews, through any of his firemen. Now that the power cannot be shut off at the beck and call of everybody, Mr. Babb hopes that no longer will the interruptions continue. In this connection. Mr. Habb stated that there was no danger to bo feared from the power lines coming in contact with the telephone lines. If they should happen to cross, he said, the power line would almost instantly burn the telephone line in two pieces and the current would thus be automatically cut off. The Advertise trusts that the ser vice in tho future will be as good as the citizens have a right, now, to hope for. Mr. Rabb thinks that hereafter the service will be all that should be expected and if it should be. no one will be quicker to say so than The Ad vertiser.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of lin ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustncblan 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 inflammation can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, bear ing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which Is nothing hut an Inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot he cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio.
