Deafness Casnet 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. Deaf¬
ness is caused by an inflamed con¬
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachiau Tube, When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum¬
bling sound or imperfect hearing’
and wh.eu it is entirely closed’
Deafness is the result, and unless
the iDflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor¬
mal condition, hearing will be de¬
stroyed forever, nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing bjit, an inflamed condi¬
tion 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 circulars, free.

ELLIJAV, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, 1 OCTOBER 3RD, 1912
The Election.
Burtz Wins for the Senate.
After the election cyclone had
passed over, there was found
amid the wreckage the political
carcass of J. Windy Cole, stone
dead with the wind all knocked
out of him.
It is very sad that the people
. -
of Georgia will have to
with his distinguished services in
the Senate, and his universal
knowledge and great accomplish¬
ments will hereafter be confined
to the Drug trade.
Hon. A. H. Burtz was elected
by 536 majority in the District,
carrying the Good old County of
Pickens by 833 while Cole only
got 138 votes in the County.
Lincoln went down in History
?s the Great Emancipator, VVin
dy will go down to Oblivion as
the Great Disfranchiser.
It will be remembered that two
years ago Cole was Chairman of
the Board of Registrars that
Disfranchised over 300 good
white men in this County. Af¬
ter the late Board had another
whack at it, they had it fixed for
the County ticket. But Gilmer
is not the only County in the 41st
District.
There are others. For instance
Pickens. God bless old Pickens.
May her valliant and righteous
tribe of voters increase and mul¬
tiply.
After it is all over Windy will
find when he has leisure to figure
it all out, that men Who were
smarter than he just worked
him In the lead and used him to
help rob the bee gum and left
him with the empty gum, fight¬
ing the angry bees whil<? they
made off with the ho:
V^e salute Sen Piirtz. They
. If he
-3£ erson there •
•r
lost
Gilmer by about parity 250,. and and lost his
total majority will be over 600.
Mack Johnson’s funeral of the
primary crowd has been post¬
poned 2 years and will come off
when all the good honest tax
payers who have been disfran¬
chised get their legal rights.
The entire Cox ticket was
elected is Gilmer by a majority
from 200 to 300.
Rans Hensley made a game
fight for Ordinary against great
odds* He takes his defeat cheer-,
fully and says when he goes to
Rabun he will have plenty of
good company.
Two Districts in this county,
Buck town and Coosa wattee
where nearly half the voters
were disfranchised, refused to
hold any election this time.

; WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL $
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS, t
~ •>
The following i Is J*
taken from
an address delivered by Pro - ...
fessor Woodrow Wilson before y
tlie tariff board in 1882. showing 1*1
bis views then on tile question *;*
of the tariff and the distinct an
noupcement of his position as £
a free trader, opposed to all 4*
tariffs except merely for the pur
pose •‘ISut of raising revenue: *|> *£
the danger of imposing
protective duties is that when J •>
the policy is once embarked
upon it cannot be easily receded *1
from. Protection is nothing £
more than a bounty, and when <
we offer twenties to mnuiifaetur- %
ers they will enter Into Indus- *>
tries and build up interests aud ly
when at a later day tve seek to v
overthrow tbis protective tariff .*.
we must hurt somebody and of j’ A
course there Is objection. They
will say. 'Thousands of men will £
be thrown out of employment *:*
and hundreds of people will lose T
their capital. - Tbis seems very *
plausible; manufacturers but I maintain made better that | *i*
ore
manufacturers whenever they
are thrown upon their own re¬
sources and left to the natural
competition of trade.
♦ *•**»*
"Protection also hinders com¬
merce Immensely. The English
people do uot send as many
goods to this country as they
would if tile duties were not so
much and in that way there Is
a restriction of commerce and
we are building up mmmfnctor- Y

HAS CHANG ED AS CANDIDATE.
Woodrow Wilson's Spoechas Now Those
of Office Seeker.
Scattered among the platitudes of
Dr. Wilson’s speech of acceptance arei
some truths. None is more significant
than this:
"We stand In the presence of ait
uwakeued nation, impatient of partisan
make believe.”
Following which he makes believe
that lie is telling the voters of the coun¬
try ids position on the campaign issues,
No one has .vet been able to determine
fr0lu a re:ltlIn l’ the speech precisely
wliitt that position is. Some slight en
lightenment comes from time to time
In bis later utterances, like, for ex
ample, the declaration the other,day,
1 hut Tammany is to be safe from his
assa,llts; but noDl ‘ of !t 13 ^tlsfylng.
Dr. Wilson, in the preconvention
dr.j<s. was represented to the country,
as a scholarly gentleman, too lofty of
mind lo practice the wiles of the pro¬
fessional politician, too earnest In tbit
cause of good government to be aught
but frank and fearless in his expres¬
sion. too unselfish to put private ambf*
tion above tbe public weal, too idealis¬
tic in character to truckle to the forces
of evil in the nation.
But bow singularly he has masked
all of these qualities since William
.leaning* Bryan forced his nomination
at Baltimore.
There is no difference, save In the
purity of tlie English, between hi#
speeches and the speeches of the pro¬
fessional office seeker of the worst
period in American po.’itic-s. He steps*
pussy footed over all tlie large ques¬
tions of the day. He exhibits a sus¬
piciously broad tolerance for all ele¬
ments in tlie body politic, even the
elements which, to nominate him. Bry¬
an found it expedient to denounce by
natne in the convention. There is
none of the rugged frankness of ut¬
terance that characterized his writings
m the days before lie was Inoculated
with tbe virus of political ambition.
He is proving over apt as an advanced
of practical politics.
It is not a pleasant nor a heartening
he makes of himseif. Tlie
minded citizen can feel nothing
sadness in contemplating a uiau
education and culture so intent
partisan and personal victory
he sacrifices those ideals of truth
honesty for which he has always
to fawn upon and honeyfugle
voters.
Dr. Wilson as a candidate is not in
with the Dr. Wilson that
pictured to us prior to the Balti¬
convention. This "awakened na¬
impatient of partisan make be¬
- detects the difference.
