There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this s e gets inflamed you.have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, E and unless the inflammation cnb taken out and this tube restore~ beit . normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the * mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars . for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) t hat we can not cure by taking -.Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- ~ jars, free. F. J.

George Matthews, colored, was arrested last Friday morning for break ing into the office of the Newberry Cotton Mills on Wednesday night, the th, and attempting to rot the iron vault of its v'aluable contents. He missed hisgame, and foun d after cutting a semi-circular hole in the brick casing around the side bolt of the lock that he had another bolt at the top and still another at the bottom to tackle. He gave it up as a bad job. Not more than $75 is kept in the vault at any time. Thursday morning the mill officers found matters as he had left them. They began an investigation and found the point of a knife blade sticking between the windowv sash. They suspected Matthews, and instructed one of the mill employees to borrow Matthews' knife. The knife was obtained. The point of the knife blade was broken off and the piece found between the sash ft it exactly. Matthews used his knife in raising the sash in order to get into the office and he broke oft his knife blade. He was sent to jail by Trial Justice Maybia on Friday. On Monday bie was tujed in the Sessions Court on the charge of burglary and convicted. Matthews has been employed at the mills for the past five years, and has been considered a reliable and honest negro. To Dispel Colds.

Six out of the eleven contestants com plied with the termhs of the examina tion and handed in reports to the offi ial stenographer of the 1st circuit.

The heart of our community was touched last Friday when it learned that the gentle spirit of Mrs. John F. Speck had departed this life, never more to brighten her little circle nor take part in the gracious services of her religious work. our deceased friend was the beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John 0. Peoples and wife of Capt. Jno. F. Speck. She was born July 11, 1S54, married August 7, 1872, and died July 10, 1891. Two days more would have completed her 37th year. Much of her married life was spent abroad, having but recently returned to Newberry to make a permanent home. When the news of her extreme illness and death reached the places where she had lived, a deep and tender feeling of sympathy was manifest-a beautiful tribute to the exalted life of a Christian woman; the golden thread of whose filial life as daughter had grown more and more radiant in the sweet and patient ministries of wife and mother. She was president of the Ladies Aid Society of Aveleigh church and took an abiding interest in church and Sunday school work. Her death was peaceful and triumphant. In the sacred hush of the chamber of death she had witnesses in the hour of her dissolution that all was at rest. She bade her family and friends an affectionate farewell and thanked her pastor Rev. Dr. Cozby for his sin cere sympathy in her illness and bereavement. Her remains were consigned to the dust in Rosemont cemetery last Satur day afternoon.

The Court of General Sensions was convened at Newberry on Monday, Judge Kershaw presiding. A brief v charge was made to the grand jury ias to their duties. Solicitor Schunipert handed out a t number of bills and the wcrk of the court began. Only three of the petit jurors failed to answer-B. F. Griftin, Jas. Rt. Reagin and D. H. Dickert.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY. a To His Honor J. B. Kershaw Jugge Presid ing : In closing our labors for the present term, C the Grand Jury would submit the following a as their report : The annual reports of the County Commissioners. School Commission ers and Treasurer have been submitted. n2 These reports have all been examined, but e1 not so fully as desired, owing to the illness of the retiring treasurer, which hasprevented r our having the vouchers before us. This ex- ft amination will be made in a short time in a t] settlement with the State, at which the fore man of this jury is requiredl to be present. p The present treasurer has his books and tl papers all in - ^d condition, well arranged b and each count, iund properly kept separate and distinct. We would call attention to the fact that there remains in the hands of the tl treasurer the sum of :304.3S collected under a vote of Townships No. 1 and S in aid of a i proposed Three C.s railroad and which was directed to be returned to those paying by an tI Act of the Legislature. This amount is due t1 to the tax-payers, and should be withdrawn as it has to be carried on t' -treasurer's books from year to year. The schools in School Districts established by an Act of the Legislature should be as B fully under the charge and supervision of the to School Commissioner as are the other schools a] of the County; and now they a re entirely sep- P arate and independent. And the officers of gi those districts should be lequired to report to P the Commissioner at least quarterly and s< those oficers should be required to give su cient bond for the faithful performance of the duties required by law. As there is a dis position to increase the number of those dis snects every precaution should be taken to -. secure such schools from possible harm, be- - cause of a failure to carry out properly the provisions of the :aw. These orficers should be required to -eport to the County Commnis- - sioners the receipts and disbursements of those districts. F And here we would call attention to thec fact that the duties and labors of the County Treasurer are greatly Increased by the levy- 0 ing and collecting those separate school ti taxes, and also the township tax voted for railroad purposes; for this increased labor the law allows no additional remuneration. b' There should be a change In the law in this o1 particular.j We would highly commend the neat and proper manner in which the books of the 0 Auditor are kept.a We would also say the same for the offices b of the Clerk and Probate J'udge. Both of those officers made a proper showing of the g funds in their han ds. Ii We find the .il in good condition, well h kept and no need of repairs. The poor house has also been examined I andi found in good condition and the inmates t( all have the appearance of having received y proper care. There are two white and thir teen black paupers there at this time. A con- . tract for new buildings has been let out. ii These were much needed and will add great- a ly to the comfort of keeper and inmates. A few repairs arc needed and should be sI made on the court house. WVe would strongy iY advise that a vaultbe built in the office of the bl Probate Judge. Papers of immense impor- t tance are liable to be destroyed at any time by fire. The cost of such a vault would bear VW no comparison to the loss that might happen h to the county. We notice hitching posts at the side or theh court house. These posts should be at once S removed as a nuisance. We recommend that the County Co.nis soners prvide some way ol crossing Enoree river at razieman's. t We are informed that no attention has been g given to our report of the nuisance of stag nant water in Pool's brickyard. There should be a rule issued to the County Commissioners el to show cause why the frequent reports of ti rand juries in regard to this brickyard have een disregarded. We think the Conty Commissioners should I0 give more attention to road overseers, to see a: that more work is done on the roads of the county. We learn that many overseers give little attention to the working of their roads. el We are advised that the time for construe- si tion of certain railroads for which taxes were voed and bonds issued has expired: it such be the case we think the bonxds should beh returned to the County or townships. t We ask that the usual fee be paid our clerkn for services rendered.

The Town Council m1akes a Haul. g( There was a case before the council ~ on Tuesday morning that has created i some interest. James Coursey was - arraigned on two charges-resisting an officer and using obscene language. In 4 the first he was fined $100 and the - other $2;. Hattie :Arnold was fined 25 for using obscene language. They paid up. E. H. Kingsmore was fined $5 for refusing to assist an officer in making the arrest. THE HERALD) AND NEwS does noit care to go into the details of the case, for a recital of them could do no good and would not be elevating. Policeman Bishop went to Coursey's room to make the arrest on Saturnay1 night and an altercation ensued. Cour-~ sey was struck on the hiead and Bishop was shot by Coursey. Neither was seriously hurt.

The rings of her comfort and consolation ere out of sight, but those who saw ar holy joy as she was passing through e valley of the shadow of death, did t doubt but th:. she was upheld by e "Everlasting Arms." On Satur y afternoon we laid her body away Rosemnont Cemetery, in the confi mt expectation of a glorious resurrec au.
