"Uncle Dock" Is an old Laurens county "hoy" and the account yt his trip to Washington will be real with a great deal of interest by those who knew him when be was in this county. "Uncle Dock" Is now coronor of Green wood county, having been unanimous ly elected by an enthusiastic consti tuency several years ago when bis op. ponent forgot to qualify. The letter of "Uncle Dock" is as follows: Uncle Dock's Imagination. Washington, March 4th, 10? 'clock p. m.?(Special)?l??dcd here Isst night half past 9 o'clock weary, tired, sick and foot sore. We should have arrived sooner but I had to stop over at Harper's Ferry to show Chris where John Brown was hung, and j when we got *.o the White House, Cousin Bill and family had gone to aj candy pulling, given in honor of hls< departure to Augusta. I did not goj down to see them off?but Chra went1 and promised to visit them in Augusta and fish over on Horse Creek?all the Tafts like Brim. The Tafta being absent we had to sleep In the barn. Chris enjoyed it from the way he S&Ored, be was tired as he "toted the Jug." After we had had breakfast.' we went around to the Capitol to see! the new presidents; they sure were a. fine looking set. The ladies was] dressed in fine outing. Wood row had i on a shining beaver hat. Chris Cried j it on. but it was too small for his era nium Tb3 field officer of the day rodej up on an old flea bitten gray horse and announced that the "auguration would now commence." The Wil sons marched up to the front, the preacher opened a book. "Chris" says durn my old shoes if they ain't get ting married. After the primary was over they sang >*ancy Hawking old favorite song?which went like this: You need not come in the morning. And neither in the beat of the day, But come in the evening aud take me away. After the ceremonies was over, we Trent i.o the k!tcb*n and partook of some soup and such scraps as we i could pick up. We repaired to the I barn to rest and got a good night's! sleep?the hay was so nice. "Chris said we might take hay fever." I told him hay fever was caught by meeting! a grass widow in the road. Washington is a nice place, but Greenwood would be far ahead if we bad street cars. People look unhealthy in Washing ton. Chris asked an old colored wo man who runs a blind tiger on Penn sylvania Avenue what made them look so pale. She said they lived on ba nanas. It was a solemn thing as we were leaving next day to hear the women and children shouting goodbye Uncle Dock. J SEN. J. P. CLARKE PRESIDENT PRO. TEM. Surprise Sprune in Senate Caucus when Senator Bacon of Georgia was Defeated. Jill man Issues Warning. Washington, March 7.?After spend ing the greater part of today in cau cus the Democratic senators succeed ed in agreeing upon candiates to fill only three of the offices of that body. These were: Senator James P. Clarke of Arkansas, to succeed Senator Gal lnger of New Hampshire. Republican, as president pro tern of the senate; the Rev. EL J. Pettyman of the District of Columbia to succeed the Rev. U. G. B. Pierce as chaplain aid Charles P. i Hlggins. a real estate dealer of St. , Douis, to succeed E. Livingstone.Cor. '. nelius as sergeant-at-arms. Senator Clarke was elected by a vote of 27 to 14 over Senator Augustus ! O. Bacon of Georgia, who alternated ! with Senator Gallinger in the ofllce j of president pro tern throughout the last session and whose election had been considered practically a certain ty since the Democrats gained con trol. The result of the election caused considerable stir, the friends of Sen ator Bacon feeling that he had not been fairly treated. At the afternoon session Senator Smith tendered his resignation as a member of the steering committee, to which he had been appointed only yesterday. Mr. Smith, who had been especially zealous in his support of Senator Bacon, said he felt his col league had been made to suffer on his account. He was induced to withdraw the resignation later, but not until there had been a general discussion of the* affair. Senator Bacon himself said he had been unprepared for the defeat, for he had not known there was any oth er applicant for the office. He added that if he had been Informed that any other person desired the honor he would have withdrawn from the race. Senator Hillman spoke at some length, charging Mr. Bacon'c defeat to the ntomperate desire on the part of dome senators to do away with the established customs of the senate by retiring the older men In the Interest, of the new. He found In Senator Bacon the first victim of the modern crusade and uttered a warding against proceeding too far along this line. Deafness Cannot Re ('nred by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachlan Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperftct hearing, and when It Is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, htar Ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out cf ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam ed condition of tho mucous surfaces. We will give Ono Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, 8end for circu lar, free. P. J. Cheney, & Co..
