DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
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
niiiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rambling or imperfect hearing, and
w hen it is err rely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
eases oui of ten are causad by catarrh
which is nothing bu’ an inflamed
condition 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 fe r c'rulars, tree.

TBKSOI.DIKR'S vot*
We find the followin sensible sug
gestion in the Augusta Herald:
“The proposition is being discussed
in Georgia and other states ot how to
take the soldiers’ vote in camp. The
proposition is being seriously con.
sidered of sending commissions to the
various Georgia regiments, in order
that the soldiers may vote in the fall
alections.
The bpst thing to with the soldier
vote is to let it alone.
The are no specially heated or close
contests that from a political stand
point will drive the party managers
to such a course. There is every rea
son why the soldier should forget local
and paitisan po'itics while he is wear
ing his country’s uniform and doing
his country’s servire.
Georgia can well afford this year to
do without the votes of the Georgia
regments in the field, and there isn t
another state but what can do tho
same. Leave the soldier for soldier
ing and let the people and politicians
do the voting.”
A SERIOUS PROBLEM ON HAND.
Hostilities hare been stoped be
tween Spain and the U. S. it now re
mains to be What the Cuban insui -
geets under the leadership of Gomez,
and Garcia will do. If they are willing
to trust their cause to the United
States and the management of the
Washington government, the sit
uation will be greatly simplified, but
shoulb they decide to fight- on, a
serious problem will present itself for
solution.
The United States having compelled
the Spaniards to lay down their arms,
cannot afford to have any armed
force attack them, and consequently
will have to devisa ways and methods
of stopping the work of the Gomez
army. To do this will involve the
recognition of the Gomez government
or will require the American forces to
suppress the Cuban insurgents.
In any event the Cuban question is
here for settlement and it promises to
prove quite vexations in all its partic
ulars. —Athens Banner.
EUROPE REVISES HER OPINION.
When the United States of Amer
ica had the temerity to declare war
against the Kingdom of Spain, there
was scarcely a European nation that
had any idea that the “American pigs”
could fight. The Unit/d States hav
ing always been a peaceful nation, giv
en to the prosecution of business, with
no standing army to amount to any
thing, presented a ridiculous spectacle
to the average European —Three
months of active and aggressive war
fare has served to open the eyes or
Uncle Sara’s warlike capabilities, and
Euiope has reversed her opinion—So
thoroughly convinced on this subject
are the European nations that not one
of them would willingly jump into a
war with the Uaited States, and it is
the judgement of the best military
cu ics of the age that America can
hold her own with the strongest
Athens Banner.
General Lee is to have 5,000 troops
with which"to occupy the province of
Havanna. The date is set at October
1. The Immures are expected to be
ready for this duty. Other volunteer
regiments who have seen no fighting
will probably be required for the gar
rison and for preserving ordert hrough
out Cuba.

Will Go into History.
There are many earnest, fervent
and epigrammatio sayings recently
uttered which will into history. It
may be well to group some ot them
here
The world will not forget two sen
fences uttered by Capt. Philip of the
b, ttleship Texas at the moment that
he discovered that the last of Cevera’s
fleet had gone down: “Don’t cheer
boys, the poor devils are dying.’ And
“I want to make public atknowledge
rnent here that I believe in God the
Father Almighty.”
‘Tve got them now, and they will
never go home,” said Commodore
Schley when he located Cevera’s fleet
in Santiago harbor. It was prophetic
He got >hem, the Colon going down
last just where the Virgtniua was
captured in 1873 by the Snamards.
“Glad to see you, but do not get in
the range of the American fire, when
the bombardment begins.” said Ad
miral Dewey to Price Henry of Ger*
many.
“No one knows but Dewey and I,”
answered the captain of the British
man-of war at Manila when the Ger
man nrrairal asked what he (the brit
ishcr) would do if he (the admiral)
interfered with the seige of Manila.
“Don’t hamper me with instructions
I’m not afraid of the whole Spanish
fleet,” wired Capt. Clark of the Ore
gon from a South American port when
he was on his famous voyage around
Cape Horn to the scene of war, and
when he was warned that it was prob
ably that Cevera had sailed to inter
cept him. Aud the Oregon was in at
the death:
“Remembea the Maine.” Commo
dore Schley’s signal to his squadron.
They remembered and avenged.
“They (the Americans) bring yon
the fostering arms of a free people,
whose greatest power is justice and
humanity to all living within their
fold.” GeD. Miles Miles’ proclama
tion to the Porto Ricans upon landing
at Ponce. The whole document,
which is quite brief, is worthy of a
piace in every scrapbook in the land.
“The government will see to it
tbit our country gets tho maximum
of commerical advantaga and the
minimum of governmental control,”
said President McKindley in speaking
of the affair out at Manilo.
“I am not an eminent personage,”
Cervera said with deep pathos to M
Cambon. “I am only an unfortunate )
a poor Spanish officer, who saw his
ships destroyed, his commanders and
men killed and his flag pulled down-
I love Spaia and would spare her
further misfortune if those in authority
will but hear me.”
“See there, boys the Yankees are
running. No d—n it I mean the
Spaniards,” said fighting Joe Wheeler
at Santiago.
“Don’t mind me hors; go on fight
ing.”—Ccpt. Allyn K. Capron of the
Rough Ridors.
“Don’t swear, boys, shaot.”—Col.
Wood to the Rough Riders.
There must be no more recalls; iron
will break at las’.”—Lieut. Hobson to
Admiral Sampson.
“We will make Spaiifh the court
language of hades.”—Fighting| Bob
Evans, when war was declared.
“You can fire when you are ready,
Gridley.”—Commodore Dewey at
Manila
“The battles of Manila killed me
but I would do it again.”—Cabt-
Gridley of the Olympia on his death
Led.
“Excuse me, sir, I have te report
the ships has been blewn up avd is
sinking.”—Bill Antheny of the Maine
“Suspend judgement.”—Uapt.
Sigsbee’s first message to Washington.
“Cubanos shoot and run awav>
Americanos shoot and come on more.’’

at Santiago.—Macon Telegraph-
