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. F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, Ohio.

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. Following is the total vote of Gilmer County: J. G. Cole 650 A. H. Burtz S97 Cole’s Majority 253 For Representative W. B. James 655 A. M. Johnson 393 James's Majority 262 For Ordinary W. A. Cox 646 B. L. Hensley 404 Cox’s Majority 242 For Clerk J. P.

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.
