Cor respondents ore requested to sign their name to the contrt* batlons Letters should not be ?tailed later than Monday inorn The manipulator of this department of the paper has two very lengthy and exhaustive (to the reader) articles prepared for this column, but on ac count of the scarcity and irregularity of the elect l ie currant, consequent up on the recent disastrous floods, it was found Impracticable to put them In type so they are left over to be eager ly awaited next week. The office Is somewhat demoralized following the many interruptions and delayed travel on the railroad, so this issue is got ten out under some difficulties. SESSIONS COURT ADJOURNED FRIDAY By Pushing the Work of the Court Along, Judge Sease and Solicitor Cooper Succeeded in Making Short Work of Many Cases. With an unusually large number of cases tried and with only two acquit tals and no mistrials, the March term or court adjourned Friday after a week of strenuous work.

At that time the Doyd's Mill plant of the Reedy dUver Power Co. was reported as Hooded. The hollers and dynamos were engulfed in water and will be out of condition for several weeks. The local emergency plant was start ed up some time Saturday morning and has been giving service at odd intervals since. Many bridges over the county have been either washed away or serious ly damaged. However, the loss will not be as great as In the Hood of 11*08. but the damage, though as yet not estimated by Supervisor Humbert, will be considerable. Although accurate information as to all the bridges could not be secured by Supervisor Humbert, he has furnished- a list of those bridges which he is fairly re liably informed were damaged. On Enoree river, Harris bridge, Al len bridge and Woodruff bridge are washed away The lones Ford and Musgrove bridges are reported gone, but this could not be vouchsafed. On Reedy river, Ivy Bluff and Culbertson bridges are reported as washed down and on Saluda, Mattox bridge is said to be gone. The Tumbling Shoals bridge was damaged. However, a mes sage from Mr. \V. I). Sullivan yester day gave the news that the road from I.aureus to Princeton was open for traffic. The Fishdam bridge on Reedy river was damaged, the flood having most effect upon the approaches. Cooper, Kilgo and Yarborough bridges on Enoree river were damaged to some extent Resides these there were pos sibly other bridges on the larger streams damaged, but have not as yet been heard from. M is also reported that McPherson bridge, the Anderson Mill bridge, the Abercrombie bridge, the Mahaffey bridge, the Burton bridge and the bridge near Todd's quarter are wash ed away. All of these are bridges on small streams. There were no railroad bridges washed away in this county, but traf fic has been very irregular. '.cute Indigestion Successfully Treat ed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions 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 mucous lin ing of the Eustnohlan Tube. When this I 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, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circ.ifiars, free-. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio.

"At last, I was almost bed-ridden, and had to give up. We had three doctors. All the time, I was getting worse. I had bad spells, that lasted from 7 to 28 days. In one week, after I gave Cardui a trial, I could eat, sleep, and joke, as well as anybody. In 8 weeks, I was well. I had been an invalid for 5 weary years I Cardui relieved mo, when everything else failed." 0* TAKE mThe WomarfsTonic If you are weak and ailing, think what it would mean, to you, to recover as quickly as Mrs. Navy did.
