"After hearing return to the rule Koroin nnnn further enn sideration thereof, it is ordered that it does not yet appear that the respondent shall be deprived of the custody of her children. "Ordered, further, that no reason has been shown why the children shall not yet be Riven into the custody of the Tillmans for the time heretofore directed; and that during the year 1915, the father of the children shall have their custody not only for the time heretofore directed, but in addition '' hereto the time the children were erected to be put into the custody of their grandparents. "Ordered, further, that the father shall indicate to the mother what particular season is agreeable to him to have such supplemented custody, upon which notice the children shall be given to him. "Ordered, further, that a refusal of the infant children to comply with the order of the court is not a sufficient excuse; but, on the con-' trary, if the mother cannot enforce such compliance, then it will be incumbent on the court to find other agencies of control. "Ordered, further, that a copy hereof be served upon the father, B R Tillman, Jr. and the mother, Mrs Lucy Dugas." The order is signed by the full court.

Mr W F Blackburn, the private secretary to the Governor, said j the office had been swamped with petitions for pardons in the last few days,he estimating that one comes in every four minutes. The bearers of pardon petitions filled both the outer and the private office of the Governor this morning and overflowed into the hall. It i reminded one of an election occasion, when a crowd of admirers call, to extend congratulations to a successful candidate. Petitions have been arriving by i .... :-i .. ?

There seems to be a very general expectation for a big batch of prisoners to be freed Christmas day. The Governor had the Orangeburg county dispensary board before him today but did not give out any thing to the press in connection with the matter. It was learned through other channels that he had ruled them to show cause why they should not be removed from office, but he did not make public anything in connection with them.

I Deafness Cannot 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 mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. Wh?-n this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and uvless the inflammation can be taken out and ".his tube r< stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfacea We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot ba cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
